Diablo IV

[KIss My Ass]

The PVP is cool af in this game. I just discovered that area last night. While I didn't engage in any combat I sort of glossed over the area and got an understanding of how it works. Very cool idea, sort of like it's own metagame within the game with it's own currency and unlockables. Infinitely better than whatever you want to call that sorry excuse of "pvp" in D3. That was so lame.

 

[KIss My Ass]

I did, for about 20+ hours. Tried everyone but Rogue.

You played the beta for 20 hours, ie, a demo, which probably wasn't even 5% of the game.

I feel like I'm going to buy this and then be disappointed but will play it a lot anyway.

 

[KIss My Ass]

This dude still just completely wrecks my shit everytime I come back to him. I got no answers for it.



He's not even a mandatory boss but at this point I feel like I have to beat him because I hate him so much.

Stop being part of the problem

Maybe you should tackle this boss together with Hando. One of you will be the eyes, the other the legs.

Hando has a potato for a laptop.

Ok figured out a strategy that might work. I learned that when I activate flame armor it instantly breaks those chains. Only problem is flame armor has a 15 second cool down. I can also cast flamewall on the pillars and it destroys them. This was working better and I got him near 25% life. Still haven't solved the problem with his fucking goons.

Skinwalker so how is the game?

So far, feels like a fairly faithful sequel to D2, fwiw. The always-online aspect is annoying (I get kicked out of the game every time I put the console to sleep, and have to log back in and find myself outside of whatever dungeon I was doing), but aside from that it seems like exactly what you'd expect out of Diablo. Controls are decent, and the settings allowed me to customize everything I wanted to change (including removing the outlines on enemies/interactable objects).

I am only a level 10 Rogue currently, though, so my ppinions may evolve substantially as I keep playing.

Does the game have any meaningful death penalty to stop you just zerging to victory like d3? While levelling and not just end game.

Your armor loses 10% durability on death and eventually breaks but that's pretty trivial. Repairing is cheap. The game doesn't save the progress of fights though. If you have an elite/boss' health wittled down to nothing and you die, he will have full health when you return to fight him, as it should be.

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

I think if they had exp loss like in Diablo 2 on Nightmare/Hell, people wouldn't like it. There are times when you die through no fault of your own, like internet rubber-banding, or some bosses can set you up for instant death sometimes (20 minion attacks + 20 heatseeking spells + main attack all hitting together).

 

[KIss My Ass]

Oh there is a Soulslike mechanic in the pvp area where you can lose all of your currency if another player kills you. You have to go to a shrine thing and convert it into something else in order to keep it permanently.

Anyways taking another long break from that boss. I can get him down to 25% pretty consistently but once he summons that knight with the giant barrier that blocks all your damage (takes up damn near half the arena) I'm pretty much fucked. I don't have any ideas on how to counter that garbage.

Yes, the faithful sequel to Diablo 2 with gameplay and systems ripped straight from Diablo 3. All they needed was spooky grafix and +skills on gear to convince people of that.

I'm playing on the highest difficulty available to me right now (Tier II) and the game seems very easy. Then again, so did Diablo 2 in the beginning of the game.

I wouldn't know, I've never touched Diablo 3.

What wrong, Liberal?

At long last, the legendary author of "Necromancer's Choice" has been vindicated

Diablo 4 has rejected the gayness, at least in terms of art style.

I recently watched this, I forgot all about the gaslighting faggot Jay "I Never Made an RPG Before" Wilson.

 

[Jenkem]

aren't the most active people in this thread playing it on console?

It plays great on new consoles. Also trying to play this with keyboard/mouse would be a living nightmare. I've seen diehard PC gamers say as much. PC gamers are using controllers.

Ok now it makes sense.

 

[Skinwalker]

The always-online aspect is bothering me the most, so far. I rapefuse to buy a PS+ subscription (and wouldn't take one if it was offered for free), so the multiplayer functions are turned off for me (which is fine), but I still see other players running around in my game. Chungus6969 just "helped" me defeat an Ice Clan goatman field boss.

Can I set my region match-making to Antarctica, or something? I DON'T WANT OTHER PEOPLE IN MY GAME.

Unlike Diablo 2, after you complete the campaign, you don't do it over in harder difficulty worlds. You just complete it once, by level 50 or so, and then once you move on to harder difficulty worlds, you do whatever tickles your pickle and try to level up to 99.

At first, I thought this would lack focus, but there is more than enough shit to keep you engaged.

Yeah... there's a minor asterisk to that. In your "do whatever tickles your pickle" strategy you somehow need to slot several hundred runs of those nightmare dungeons to level your glyphs.

Can disable crossplay in options somewhere and hope there aren't many ps players around but probably game sold enough.

I've seen some male sorcs running around, gayness seems fully embraced.

Diablo 4 is still gay, since it is afraid of nipples.

Disgusting things, I avoid them when I can.
