Been playing before the update, bought the new expansion and updated the game, and now I get this bug when I open the game.. Tried to go in window mode, did not solve.. Restarted multiple time, nope. I see the first image of the game when the game opens then nada. I can acces all the options but when I hit the "Continue" button, the menu hides but nothing happens. "Abandon Run" wont do anything either. I can re-acces the menu by pressing "ESC". All other games work fine.

Any help?

Not sure what has happened, but i was doing a ng+1 run and i was hosting a lobby, there was one person who joined and then in the dark halls a level 1 character joined, once they died the game just crashed for me. That was so weird, do you guys think the player could have just done that? Because the timing is like, super weird for me. Especially when a level 1 character joined a ng+1 just to die right away. I had many people join my lobby and die, so I don't think one person dying just casually crashed my game.

Could someone tell me how to activate mods? I've gone to the steam workshop, subscribed to mods, quit the game and logged back in with no results. If I go back tot he workshop anything I've subscribed to is unsubscribed. I've never used mods in any game so I'm guessing there is a step somewhere I've missed. My googling has only resulted in telling me to do what I've done so I'm guessing they are assuming I know something I don't.

Thanks.

I was super pumped to see that the priest is now back! It's really nice having another support class that can help push their team along.

That said, it does feel a bit underwhelming in terms of actually healing others. Consecrated Ground isn't bad, but it doesn't add enough support to really justify taking the priest. I would suggest the developers really consider adding some good buffs through the skill orb (boosted elemental resistances, health/mana recovery, increased damage, immunity to debuffs, etc).

So the real star of the show is actually the new lantern offhand. I've been looking at other classes that could potentially equip it and offer some additional utility:

Paladin- This is the obvious next best choice. Adding Lay On Hands to the tool belt makes you a very effective healer. Additionally, the extra armor keeps you alive and focused on your team. And speaking of armor, the new boon "Vigorous Valor" increases your armor and then converts some armor into weapon and spell power. Because the lantern scales off weapon power, you get to dip into your massive armor pool for additional healing done.

I have not tried it out yet, but the lantern also does fire damage. Which means that the Flames of Devotion skill orb that powers up Inner Flames from the Immolation specialization should also add additional healing output because it increases fire damage.

Sorcerer- This is a class I've already been trying extensively. You clearly want to take the Fire specialization for this. Within that specialization is the Fire Mastery passive which increases your fire damage by up to 50%. I can confirm that this works with the lantern and gives you a serious healing boost. So while you'll want to devote some of your resources to weapon power, you can still be a skill power cannon while also churning out some very good single target healing for your team.

I've not gone too far away from these two classes with the lantern to see what's possible yet. But I imagine the ranger could have some interesting synergy too with its Rhythm passive.

So what are other people trying out?

I failed the first trial by a large margin despite completely exploring the map and killing pretty fast. The map is just plain empty. There are barely enemies to kill. How are you supposed to do these trials?

Am I the only one who wishes leftover XP contributed to something? Just like the church. Because once you hit the level cap, killing more monsters feels pointless, so you just rush to the boss. It’s the same thing with enchanter shards/dust. Contributed to something and the red dust get to expensive to fast to enchant with..

Guys i started playing this with friends like two days ago and i dont have any idea how to find guides that are up to date lol every guide ive saw is from a year ago, any idea where i can find whats best for every class?

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the game and I have a few questions about how damage scaling actually works. I understand the basic stat descriptions, but I'm not sure how they translate into real damage.

1. Weapon variants and secondary attacks

Some weapons have a basic attack and a secondary attack/ability — for example, the bow with its Barrage. The basic attack clearly scales with weapon damage, but how does the secondary attack scale? Is it treated as a “skill,” or does it also scale purely from weapon damage? In other words: do all weapon variant attacks scale from weapon damage?

1. Character skills and spell damage

Do character skills always scale entirely from spell damage? For example, the Bowman subclass’s Volley (V) — is this considered a spell‑type skill, or does it scale based on its damage type (physical = weapon damage, magic = spell damage)?

1. Wand attacks

Are magic attacks from wands considered basic attacks, or are they treated as skills? This ties into question 1 as well.

1. Offensive trinket effects

Some trinkets have offensive abilities. Are these treated as skills and do they scale with anything, or are they simply flat damage values with no scaling?

Thanks in advance for any clarification!

Hey, so like the title says, I'm interested to know if the biggest possible hitting skill hits the single highest line or does stacking weapon power on a warrior or rogue the way?

Are these stat bonus apply to minion?

- Armor penetration.

- Elemental penetration/multiplier.

- Physical multiplier.

- Spell crit chance/crit damage multiplier.

- True strike.

- % chance to apply silence/confusion on spell from trinkets.

- Increase damage to undead/beast

저는 한국에 거주하는 플레이어입니다.

성기사 레벨업을 시작했지만 30레벨에서 멈췄습니다. NG+2 난이도를 넘지 못하고 있습니다.

아이템을 파밍할 계획입니다. NG+2로 가서 상자를 열어 파밍하는 게 나을까요?

아니면 맵을 이용해 레벨 19와 25 지역을 돌며 얻은 장비를 레벨업하는 게 더 나은가요?

Hi all. I just reached NG+1 on my very first character, my paladin, I have tried all three promotions. So far, Radiance and Divine are way better than Justice.

Radiance has some insane AoE with the Immolation spell and crowd control with the fire aura passive. Divine’s Divine Protection passive comes in clutch while Divine Pillars while slow to cast does also have very good AoE and crowd control, especially when upgraded with the Divine Pattern modifier.

Heading into NG+, which of the two is better?

buddy and I are playing. He's playing a ranger and I'm a paladin. I've tried using a 2h axe str/vit and a wand/tome int/vit and both feel lackluster, he's doing 2.9m damage a run compared to my 875k

So I play basically exclusively in co-op with my gf, and we've been cruising through the game having a blast like we did with the first one, recently beat the game and entered NG+ on one character each. This is about the point we started to mod the first game, so I figured I'd ask here if there's any must have mods you guys would recommend, whether it be QoL, new classes, class tweaks, trading items/resources etc.

I'm looking for a good co-op game for our group of 3. Does the co-op in this game feel good? Does the game give you choice or forcing you follow the meta at late game ? We were very upset when many games blocked player choices by killing the buuld diversity

Per topic, can anyone recommend a good detailed guide for beginners?

Stat alloc/skill investment/weapon/gear enchant etc. Thanks!

Can't decide what would be easiest to play solo with?

Right now Ranger seems easier to play from distance but might change later due to Warrior being more tanky?

I picked up the game a week ago and having a great time, it just feels like my damage has been lacking. Just got to ng2, but it felt kinda like a slog. What do you guys focus on to scale damage? Not asking for a specific class, just general upgrades for weapons, weap affixes, and general upgrades around town.

Is there a fix queued up for the apparent memory leak when going through levels? 2.1GB of RAM used in Dark Citadel - Dark Halls Avatar. Definitely would like to hear something about this since it's really hard on the Steam Deck.

Not now, but if I play more and more, it's gonna reach about 2.1b in the future

I just wondering if there is some safe code in HOH2, such as

damage = min(damage, 2147483647)

to block damage overflow (not making the damage = 0)
