Diablo IV

[ArchAngel]

Everybody on YT is bitching about Druid and saying it's terrible, the leveling experience is awful, etc. Like, not really? I found it challenging but it wasn't that bad. Some skills need tweaking that's all. I enjoyed the challenge tbh.

The content grind is so fucking hyperbolic sometimes.

You're not meant to be facerolling your way through content at level 25.

It's Necro and Sorc that need to be reined in. Asmon was talking about his faceroll corpse explosion build and saying like, 'best experience ever'. It just looks boring.

The thing is, most other classes do not have challenging leveling or lvl 25 experience. Barbarian has somewhat similar at lvl 25, but he is better while leveling.

It's way more than 100k and they do care quite a lot. They'll try their best to steal as many disgrunted PoE players as they can without losing their own target audience.

What's the best way to do a single player good ol' D2 run or two for old time's sake? Ignore the D2R thing?

Somebody seems to be running a version swticher - which patch should I use? I can't remember that from 2002 or whatever.
https://github.com/fearedbliss/Cactus

1. Install D2 (+ LOD) and patch it to 1.14d.
2. Install Plugy for ladder features and a nice big stash.
3. Use D2Dx for a higher frame rate and widescreen.

Dare I hope that it supports ultrawide

imagine having to paint act maps each season for bonus shit.

Imagine having to wait for NPCs dialog then walking to objective then slowly opening a door for you to progress for the Nth time in season 10. Hahah imagine morons thinking Blizzard has some sort of strategy or plan for how to design a game and not just reuse D3's assets and systems and speak buzzwords for retards to gobble like "They want the casuals hurr durr".

Let me see how gigabrain Blizzard will get the casuals-
"Hmm I'm retard that want to pew pew and enjoy smooth polished AAA Blizzard quality game. What's that? A skill upgrade! Cool! Let me see what the smart, calculated people at Blizzard will entice me with to give them 90$:
1) Paranormal Blood Surge-If an enemy is damaged by Blood Surge's nova while you are Healthy, then gain 1 stack of Overwhelming Blood. When you have 5 stacks of Overwhelming Blood, your next Blood Surge Overpowers.
OR
2) Supernatural Blood Surge- Each time an enemy is hit by Blood Surge's nova, you are Fortified for {#}% Base Life ({#}). While you are Fortified for over {#}% of your Maximum Life, Blood Surge deals {#}% increased damage.

Gee guys I'm so glad that this game is not for the spreadsheet mouth-breeders that play PoE/D2/whatever"

Now it is also bad that they want to bring some incline to their new aRPG instead of it just being awesome button gameplay of D3?

Imagine PoE forcing you to do campaign over and over while D3 lets you skip it since 2013.

Yes, because PoE campaign is so trash and D3 had "way better, very good campaign" that people needed 1 year to want to skip it entirely and never touch it again...oh wait that was the whole D3.

Here is your great campaign experience:

to get skill point reward in poe you need to do one quest along the way, not clear 10 dungeons, kill same boss 5 times and run circles on the map for few hours.

Agree. Fuck those retards who wanna play Necro while watching porn on their other screen.

Poe has a ton of bonus skill points, one point in D4 is worth like 5 in PoE and it real easy to get.

You have 250 skill points in D4, you are factually wrong and pretty retarded on top.

 

[Daedalos]

PoE players can fuck right off. Diablo 4 is NOT for you, and it never will be, good riddance.

Basement dweller excel-spreadsheet simulator loving fucks can jerk off to their min-max bullshit for hours on end and let the rest of us enjoy ourselves.

That way you also filter away the worst types of autists and ADHD/asperger from even playing diablo 4 - letting the rest of us normies enjoy our game in peace.

Are you going retarded on purpose because you lost the argument? Who said anything about quality. Fact is Blizzard implemented a QoL feature community wanted while GGG with 10x more content available still "stick to their vision".

 

[ItsChon]

Dildolos is such a fucking low-IQ cretin it makes me sick. He is actually retarded, with consistently dogshit opinions. If you suffer from a developmental disorder, just go ahead and say that, instead of trying to pretend you're just some normie that dislikes unnecessary complexity. The vast majority of critiques regarding Diablo 4 haven't even been targeted towards it complexity or lack thereof.

First of all fuck "the community". PoE campaign may be dogshit (it's not, it's just OK), but skipping it is what leads to retarded shit like level boots, level scaling and tons of stupid shit that make you not feel the progression of your character. How is the adventure mode in D3 better than doing the campaign? Now you can grind same dailies and run the same rifts from the get go. WOW! And for the reason you skipped the campaign in D3, Blizzard is mailing you a full set of gear so you can start "the adventure".

 

[Grunker]

I don't think skipping PoE campaign would be a good idea. It doesn't take that long to complete once you know what you're doing, and it always feels like a great change of pace to go from Act 10 Kitava into maps. Especially on Hardcore since you can't just have your brain on AFK against Kitava for the most part.

Are you counting paragon points into this? Because I do not know how you got that 250 number where there are only 100 levels (and I do not even know if you keep getting skill points after 50 or only paragon points) and you do not get that much from doing objectives on maps.

You do realize it doesn't replace it? Everyone has the option to do what they like. Someone who hates the campaign can skip it, who hates level scaling can just do it.

I do not enjoy PoE campaign because your build does not really start until you hit lvl 70+ (and you are finished with all 10 acts before your build starts)
D2 is way better than this because your build starts at lvl 30 which is basically end of Act 5. And then you got two full runs of campaign to play your build and make it stronger.

Some people like @abija (whose posts I usually like) are at a point where they are convinced that skipping the game is QoL feature.

So you think that designing games for everybody will lead to better games?

one completed dungeon worth 20 points, one opened location - 5 points. to unlock 1 skill point in first act of d4 you need 200 points. so literally 10 fucking dungeons. stop lying, nigger.

What does that have to do with anything? Or your previous argument? You're not even remotely trying to argue my point.

PoE brings new content 3-4 times per year, players have run the campaign hundreds of times. The game has tons of content and can easily allow people to do something else for leveling (if they want) instead of forcing the campaign each and every time you level a char.
