I don’t know if it’s just me, but I don’t have a terrible time farming WT4 Helltide at level 78. What I HAVE noticed is that I have died, repeatedly, to something that I think is a bug.
I tend to find a mystery chest and stay in the near vicinity, clearing out enemies and events, until I have the required cinders to open the chest.
What I’ve noticed is fairly consistent behavior - most of the area is clear and then is repopulated fairly quickly, mostly at once. While I can perform character skill animations, nothing shows up on the screen (like performing ice shard animation but no ice shards appear), can’t town portal, but I can move around. All of a sudden my character animation rubberbands and am suddenly instakilled. If often seems because a Helltide Harbinger literally landed on top of me. This has happened several times and has been frustrating enough for me to stop playing in that particular Helltide event. I even caught a video clip of the most recent time that it happened in which “Aiyah was slain by a Evenronment”. Apparently, someone else also died at the time time in my vicinity.
I don’t appear to have network connectivity issues. If it makes a difference I’m playing on an Xbox Series X (hardwired). My average latency is 60ms (I’m playing from Hawaii). I don’t think the issue is on my end.
Anyone else experience the same?
edit: Here’s a video clip of the last time it happened (just for S&G) - Diablo 4: EHHH?! You've got to be kidding me... this happens more often than you'd think. - YouTube
