Diablo IV

[KIss My Ass]

What exactly is the shop refreshing? it "refreshes" every couple days or so but it's all the exact same shit everytime. I think there might be one new mount in there, maybe? I figured there would be a rotation of different shit each time.

Ngl that wraith lord Necro cosmetic is pretty dope. Only would cost me $25... >_>

I've felt the temptation many times but have resisted thus far.

perfect example of abusive relationship. no wonder blizzard casino shit was banned by dutch gubmint. they prey on the weak and dumb.

Finished leveling up most of classes to 50.
I must say that only Barbarian is fun to play. Rest of classes are way to easy to play which leads to absolute boring time. They are more squishy but once you get some second dodge you avoid most of danger. Especially bad is sorceress. Her skills look like some kind of rip from mobile game or some intern work.

Another issue is how limited aspects are.
There is simply not enough of them and some skills simply don't have any aspects to modify them.
After getting like 4 time same unique in a row I also looked up unique and well... there are like 5-6 per class aka nothing and effects on those unique aren't really that huge. For such limited amount you would think that at least effects of them would be major...

I mean I get this is base game and those things will be expanded but you can't enter arpg market as new guy without putting serios work into main aspect of game people play your game for.

It feels like they focused too much on story and presentation and not enough on basics of gameplay. They do have still pretty best in business combat feel but that's too little to hold people in long run.

IMHO changes needed for it to become 9/10:
- multiply aspects. There should be 3-4 times as many and each skill should have multiple just for them.
- reserve unique to truly unique effects like giving you outright new skill or modifying in huge way some skill that it becomes effectively new skill
- tighten up base stats on items. remove like half of damage when X and introduce new ones
- either remove or rework level scaling, divide map better into lvl like now but up to lvl 50 instead of lvl 30,
- rework item ilvl. It is only around lvl 40-50 when you can find upgrades that can last you like 10levels or more, increase stat difference at lower levels
- more +1 to skills, right now it is pretty much impossible to reach lvl 10 in some stat other than something like shako.
- paragon board is good idea, it just needs more interesting boards and less glyph grind.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

It has come to my attention that it's actually possible to pet the dogs in the game. You have to stand right in front of them and then use the "hello" emote and your char will actually pet them.

Yeah, that's great and all... but are there any cows to talk to?

yes - lilith.

Still got those old skills from my young days.

But seriously it's pathetic how weak the sorceress is. Engaging elites is a death sentence. Elites should not be harder than main fucking bosses. I gotta find boots with a second evade. That's the only way she stands a chance.

Lmao i'm lvl 42 and just now realized I have two passive enchantment slots I haven't been using the ENTIRE time. Jesus. That sure would have helped.

I'm also still using level 20 equipment and below. Been nerfing the shit out of myself the entire time without knowing it.

Oh wow this changes everything. No wonder why I was getting my shit pushed in. I can actually steamroll mobs now. Cool.

 

[Reinhardt]

truly "expert high end"

It needs way more than that for 9/10, not even PoE is 9/10 and D4 is not even close.

Now that you mention this, where is the Secret Level? Did anyone find one yet?

I found it!

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

So, do you have to be connected to play this like D3?

 

[Lovely Feather Pillow]

So, do you have to be connected to play this like D3?

Yes. Diablo 4 is an always online GAAS. You will always share the world with other players, similar to Fallout 76.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Meh! Fuck off chinese blizzard fucks. My internet is now worse than before. T-mobile must be a 3rd world company or worse. I mean it is fucking shit.

 

[Fedora Master]

So, do you have to be connected to play this like D3?

You know how there's private D3 servers? Well...

What's worse to the gaming community: wokism or level scaling?

Level scaling is a form of wokeism: equity.

 

[abija]

Do people actually think if progression was something like
1->30 going from settlement to settlement and clearing around them in 80% of zone 1
30->50 in 80% of zone 2
50->60 in 80% of zone 3
60->70 in 80% of zone 4
80->90 in 80% of zone 5
90 -> 100 remaining areas
it would actually improve this game? I'm quite curious how.

I'm feeling extra ambitious this weekend. Since I didn't play any last weekend because crippling alcoholism I would like make up for it tonight. I plan to not only reach level 50 but also complete the campaign and reach tier 3. Also maybe possibly clear up all the side quests and buy more cosmetics if there are any good ones available. I was able to stay away from beer last night thanks to my happy pills and I feel like I can conquer the world right now. I even went to bed right away after work. My dreams and aspirations are off the charts.

Died from too much alcohol.

He asked for a cow, not a landwhale. :D

I don't have the patience for these fucking stronghold bosses. They soak up too much damage, the fight can go on for 10-15 minutes. Dieing when you have the faggot almost dead is the most deflating thing ever. Then you go back in and half ass the fight and die quicker because you know you have to suffer through 10-15 more minutes of kiting tedium. Fuck these things. Why are they always scaled 2 levels above you? I hope blizzard goes bankrupt.

I think you should switch to a better character. This time decide what you want to play while you are sober.
