Don't worry, there'll be no queues at release, because no one buys those shitty Blizzard games ...

Why are all my minions lagging around like the internet is broken?
Why does the game keep crashing?
Why is my 64gb RAM & 3080 not enough to stop "running out of memory"?
Why do I HAVE to see other players in my single player game?
Why are the animations so generic like they're from an asset store?
Why is Lilith so lame and not even sexy despite being based around "sin"?
Why do items all take up the same amount of inventory space?
Why are quests "level locked" like it's a grindy mobile game?
Why is the game logo so shit?
Why does levelling up feel so unsatisfying?
Why is the next sequel/iteration in an iconic game series just some slapped together genre piece clone offering nothing new?
WHY IS THE CAMERA SO ZOOMED IN?
I don't get how people are being positive about this game. This is genuinely bad.

it's shit.
even worse than "no progression" is "no goal". usually you have some short range goal for your acshun rpg game session - reach next waypoint, gain new level, whatever. here you just running around, doing some retarded "events" and killing respawning monsters. why? what you want to achieve? you are not even getting dopamine hit from getting stronger.

Don't you guys have SSD's?
Who told you it was? It has more in common with games like World of Warcraft and Guild Wars 2 than previous Diablo games as it steers directly into MMO-lite territory.

It's a tell, like having an anime avatar, that the poster in question is irredeemably spastic.
After playing my Necro to Lvl 11, I came to the conclusion that this game is even blander and less fun than D3.
Is this getting any better?

Compared to D3 act1 this is way superior.After playing my Necro to Lvl 11, I came to the conclusion that this game is even blander and less fun than D3.

We even got new "Decard Cain"
But D3 also got more boring and retarded with each act so it will be hard to compare with D4 until full release

Necro seems very powerful damage wise but I am having fun with shapeshifting Druid even if it is clunky.
I am still trying to figure out how to use Fortify.

PLayed for a bit this morning. The presentation is truly awesome. I decided to go for Druid because Necro seems OP and everyone is using it. Having fun so far.
Oh those two sound like fun. Also respect for the franchise, y'all.
The game is poorly coded. I saw Windows busy cursor several times which proves that the main thread that should be processing input events as fast as possible is busy doing some heavy work.

I played a few hours yesterday (level 20) and to be honest the game is pretty good for 50 euros, but totally not worth 70.
Strangely yesterday beta was pretty stable and I didn't get dc even once.
As long as there were no other players around the game ran smoothly. The moment any player appeared in the area, the game was barely playable with constant teleports.
Moving around the cities was a torture. Technically it's pretty good, fps drops happened almost exclusively during transitioning between larger locations, which is annoying but bearable.
Blizzard for the heck could you finally start placing servers in europe during the betas?
The necromancer is of course as broken as you'd expect to the point where you can practically be afk and your minions kill everything for you.
I'm not sure who designed the corpse explosion, but it's obvious they didn't even care about balancing. Powerful AOE with no CD and no resource costs.

Im a filthy causal, i play it on Veteran and game is still very easy, to the point i was playing it naked, just with stick to use skills, till i reach the mothers boss, which i cannot beat in her 3rd iteration. Seems like the vulnerability debuffs stuck on me and Im getting one shot. I was underlevel, underequipped or my skills just suck (or maybe there is some obvious gimmick that i didnt figure out). Didnt have too much gear to elevate the resistances (im not even sure which one is responsible for this blood debuff - "shadow"?), im not interested in back tracking and grinding either... so i think i will drop Diablo4 here.
nice potion mechanic - its not overshadow the main combat on screen. My fav H&S diablo1 tchernobog is basically a potion drinking game.
fortify HP layer - thats add little extra managment to red ball
character can freeze
dashing with space, make the game more dynamic. with dodging projectiles, or reaching supporting monsters
graphic is superb, lots of details, like wounds on character if you dont wear anything. Location are amazing. Animations on point, no supersonic anime speed things, my druid is waving his paws in bear form in slow/impactful manner.
setting is good, a bit of multiculti mixing but i like it. I enjoy the overall ambient of the game... much diablo1 vibe.
i didnt follow the plot at all - but for the moment i though i will be the bad guy and game would be about extermination of villagers, which was nice
knock back./down mechanic is fantastic. Everything is in motion.
pacing of the game is good, frequence of monster appearing and item to pickup
tech tree is linear - D2 is still a king here. unless you into PoE autism
game handheld you everywhere with yellow markers, which spoil the exploration
If not for the difficulty which is non existing - i dont feel once any tension, then this could be a good game. Maybe if I could turn off monsters HP bars, then it would be a bigger challange.
