Diablo IV

[Tacgnol]

At least Path of Exile only forces you to see other players in towns (and the rogue harbour). No idea what Blizz is thinking trying to shove other players randomly into the world.

Diablo isn't an MMO.

To make people see other people's fancy microtransaction stuff.

Path of Exile has the same goal. They apparently get enough MTX sales off of forcing people to view FPS destroying cosmetics in towns only.

I guess Blizzard is extra greedy.

Watching Asmongolds takes on this game has made me realized how much of a braindead, decline enabling normie he is sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I like his content, but holy fuck.

He's also a full-blown Blizzard shill again. This comes after he swore off the company.

Wonder how much they paid him.

I will say though, while I agree having players in the world is decline, I actually think having hubs is cool, and adds to the longevity of the game. Plus it's nice to be able to inspect other players builds.

@Perkel i'm spitting in your lying eyes. MANY HARD AND TACTICOOL!

perkel plays games inside of the "perkel dimension" where rules are bent, minor details are extrapolated upon ad infinitum and common knowledge is ignored. He can never be trusted.

Diablo isn't an MMO.

It is now

Sometimes? He eats 2$ steaks, despite being a millionaire. The man is the avatar of trash taste.

Oh btw on maxed settings I had 24-28gb of ram usage and 12gb vram (my cards max, might even use more lmao). I know its a beta, but still... Probably some kind of memory leak.

Edit: Probably why people are experiecing so much stuttering now that I think about it.

I have zero problems on Xbox Series X. I guess PC are peasants for this game

 

[ArchAngel]

downloaded short version in the night and played and tried sorceress and barbarian. Perkel i'm spitting in your lying eyes. MANY HARD AND TACTICOOL! you just grab smol pew-pew at lvl 2 and then bigger pew-pew 2 levels later and you are set. went chain lightning sorc and spin to win barb.

also lol at ENDGAME! DUNGEONS! cleared 5 dungeons with sorceress at random and 3 of them had SAME boss - green ghost thingy. 3 of 5. DIVERSE! also met two butchers during those 5 dungeons. at least he hits hard, so you sort of have to run as sorc. barb would probably just spin in his face.

Try it on necro. That shit is autopilot. Skeletons dogpile everything, you hold your attack, your attack, the skellies' attacks, and the things you kill all generate corpses... then spam corpse explosion. Everything dies.

The power of the classes from my experience was basically: Necromancer>>>>>>>>>>Sorc >> Druid >> Barbarian >= Rogue.

Kripp that played all 5 to 25 and outfitted them with gear says sorc>necro>>rogue>>>barb>>>>druid

That guy is a retard, go watch Peterson instead, your children will thank you

How about not watching youtubers

Talent trees: they're good, definite improvement over previous games

Fucking how?
diablo 2 synergies were more impactful than this
diablo 3 runes changing how entire skills worked or what they did was better than this
I simply cannot understand who the fuck designed the skill tree and thought "hmm yeah 3 resource if the enemy is stunned or 2% more damage on an enemy if it is caked in butter yeah this seems like a game changing choice here you go" was a good idea.

 

[Reinhardt]

exciting! can't wait to pick

3 resource if the enemy is stunned or 2% more damage on an enemy if it is caked in butter

on next level up!
and all monsters will just get +10% hp and damage. BOOOORING!

Okay I agree with D3, but it didn't have skill trees which I prefer, that's why I said I wish there were more choices. I swear all D2 characters were boring 1 mash button builds except necro. Here you at least have more skills to press.

 

[Reinhardt]

Here you at least have more skills to press.

but why? as barb i've used rage gen skill, spin to win and one shout which i got from item. as sorceress - shitty lightning, better lightning and hydra after i've found legendary staff with +1 hydra summon. never needed more.

 

[Yosharian]

I just switched to Arekk's tornado build and it fucking wrecks. Much nicer than the Werewolf build I was using. I think Druid is actually ok it's just a little reliant on Legendary effects to make it work really well.

The problem is that Necro (and Sorc I guess) was playtested by a 5 year old so everyone is comparing the other classes to them.

Anyway I hit level 20 so I think I'm done for now, I will probably buy it on release but they really need to fix the lag/stutter issues.

I dunno man, my druid is oneshotting everything with landslide and it's really tanky. It's very legendary dependant, I'll say that, druid sucks without the right items. They should probably rebalance that.

Tried again this morning and it worked better until everyone else woke up. Stone Druid doesn't work too well, at least with the spec I chose, though I kind of assumed that this would bet he case. More damage against stunned / immobilized enemies, except such effects don't work on bosses (and I assume won't work on world bosses either). Without them you just do pitiful damage. I was chipping away at enemy HP while my friend's Necro just melted HP bars. I have a Unique weapon, too, so I can't imagine what it'd be like without one. The Vine Creeper is also an uglier spell effect / summon than in the original Diablo 2 LoD release, which is a shame. Also seems to be shit and useless again. When will my tentaclebro get what he's owed???

 

[Seari]

I dunno why but the character models remind me of Mortal Kombat 11 models. Anyone else?

new MK11 character lmao

 

[Reever]

Diablo isn't an MMO.

It's clear this one was very inspired by Lost Ark even down to having a universal dodge and ultimates.

I can see it. Honestly armor design is probably one of the few good things I can say about the game.

Landslide feels horrible to use because of the casting time and it has shit area range. I don't recommend it

My landslide crits twice for 1k+, I feel kind of overpowered.

The design mandate was clearly that those points not be impactful and the interface to be viable on a smartphone. Vulnerable condition only gives 20% extra damage, for example.

I found it more boring to watch than d1 people switched to during que. As for artistry, satanic and dark doesn't mean it has to look like grey Skyrim.

Screw the Diablo mate, welcome back! where have you been?

Watching Asmongolds takes on this game has made me realized how much of a braindead, decline enabling normie he is sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I like his content, but holy fuck.

He was always a braindead retard; the perfect depiction of the addicted blizzdrone. He complains about Blizzard year after year yet still pays them thousands of dollars each year to keep his addiction going.

 

[Seari]

20% is a lot, what are you talking about?

So in another word, he is a Codexer.
