I spent a contented evening with it a few weeks ago, fussing over the shape of my water feature and the angle of my gnome. If you like tinkering and tidying, I think you'd like it too, and this week it has received a major new update with lots more items to play with. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, March 18, 2023 7:06 PM  I first played Storyteller around eleven years ago, which is also the first time RPS wrote about it. It was a story-building puzzle game in which players constructed three-panel comics by dragging and dropping characters and items such that they combined in delightful, dramatic ways. It looks to still be that, more or less, now that it's coming out in greatly expanded and polished form next week. Watch the launch trailer below. |

Diablo IV will let players add sockets to gear in a way that is no longer randomized. Unlike Diablo III, where you would need to re-roll passives on items to potentially obtain sockets, players can instead just speak to a Jeweler to add to their gear. It will only cost a bit of gold and a Scattered Prism. This system is arguably much easier than how it appeared in Diablo III and will allow for players to create early game builds a bit easier. However, keep in mind that Scattered Prisms are fairly rare drops and are mostly only dropped by World Bosses. They can be obtained through other methods, but this is arguably one of the most reliable ways. Additionally, players can only interact with Jewelers once they have reached level 20. But once you have reached level 20 you can then proceed to add sockets to your gear in Diablo IV. The first Jeweler is found in Kyovashad, and is found beside the Rings and Amulet merchant. You can find the location of the Jeweler in Kyovashad below.
Diablo IV will launch on June 6, 2023 for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and its Early Access beta weekend will be held March 17-20, 2023. The open beta will run March 24-27, 2023. The post How to Add Sockets to Gear in Diablo IV appeared first on Siliconera. |

Extracting Aspects is an extremely valuable feature in Diablo IV. This allows for players to effectively obtain passive effects from Legendary items, to then reapply them to an item of their choice. In order to Extract Aspects in Diablo IV, players will need to speak to an Occultist and have a Legendary item that they would like to break down. The first Occultist can be found in Kyovashad, which is the first city you will access once you have beaten the Prologue. What makes this feature so valuable is the ability to apply any Extracted Aspect to any item of their choice, as mentioned above. This means that the item does not need to be a Legendary in order for you to apply said aspect. In fact, applying an Aspect to a Legendary item will overwrite the one currently applied to it. So it is best to save your Legendary items for their Aspects to be extracted and then applied to other pieces of equipment. You can apply these aspects to Rare items to then make them Legendary items, for example. So don't be afraid to Extract Aspects through your local Occultist, as this gives players a more accessible way to create builds of their choosing. However, making a Rare item a Legendary item will not increase it's power. So ideally, finding a Rare item with a significantly higher power than your Legendary item, and then applying said Aspect is the best way to go.

Like most modern games, Diablo IV will allow you change the framerate (FPS) the game runs at through it's settings menu. This includes both foreground and background FPS. So if you are noticing that when you tab out of the game, it runs at a significantly lower framerate, this guide will break down how to change both FPS settings in Diablo IV. Access your options menu and go to the "Graphics" section. Under the "Performance" tab, you will find both the "Max Foreground" and "Max Background" FPS options. Here you can manually adjust what FPS the game is running out when you are tabbed in or tabbed out of the game. This is especially good for streamers to mess with if they will be playing the game in Windowed Mode. Additionally, if Diablo IV is taxing your PC (especially while fighting World Bosses), you can manually assign a framerate ideal for your rig through this option. However, you cannot input a number and instead will need to play around with the sliders to set your preferred frame rate.
If you want audio to play in the background while you are tabbed out of the game head to the "Sounds" tab and under "Game Sound Output" check the "Play in Background" option. This will allow for audio from the game to play even if it is isn't the main window you currently have open. Diablo IV will launch on June 6, 2023 for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and its Early Access beta weekend will be held March 17-20, 2023. The open beta will run March 24-27, 2023.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Saturday, March 18, 2023 7:44 PM  Diablo 4 presents players with plenty of opportunities to try out quests. Outside of the standard campaign story, you may grab optional side quests offered by NPCs who have little blue exclamation marks above their heads. However, they're not the only ones who can set you on such journeys. One quest you may find is called 'Secret of the Spring,' and if offers a riddle to solve in Diablo 4. Secret of the Spring quest: How to solve the riddle in Diablo 4 The Secret of the Spring quest is one that pops up rather early in your journey. But it's also a bit elusive. Just north of the town of Kyovashad is where you need to go. Hidden there is a dungeon called the Forsaken Quarry. To get to it, you may need to hop a short gap. Near the dungeon entrance is a ladder leading up to a ledge. Here is where you find a small note with a rather peculiar riddle: "Beacon of warmth in winter's embrace, patience rewarded by nature's own grace." The Secret of... |
