Diablo IV

[Saravan]

completely different target audience

Show of hands, how many people here have played Path of Exile?

(it's a rhetorical question).

Stop being deliberately obtuse. We both know that D4 is mainly targeted towards casuals which is why there was a huge outrage over seasons lmao everyone knows about seasons who come from PoE/D2.

Season 1 will continue the story (somewhat), but you need a brand-new character to access it? The fuck?

Why would I want to abandon the character I've spent so long leveling and upgrading, and restart from scratch? Oh, and I'll have to play through the entire shitting campaign again? What the fucking shit is wrong with you, Blizzard?

Let me guess, cosmetics are soulbound and need to be purchased again for every new character?

Lmao case in point.

You are coping extremely hard if you think Chris Wilson is worried about D4. It’s a completely different target audience for ARPG casuals. You know what’s really telling is that I have not seen you once make a post discussing builds or interesting interplay between items and skills.

All you do is come in here and try to justify why it’s ok to be served such mediocre shit because you paid for it and have now backed yourself into a corner.

I don't like reading guides and everything related (and I think everyone praising PoE or any game about depth and using online guides is a massive hypocrite). I want to experiment with the game and usually try to make builds along skills I like.

Apart from PoE which is a live service the only other solid game in this genre in the last decade has been Grim Dawn. A solid mediocre game I can spend some hundred hours in is more than fine.

No idea ifChris Wilson cares, he is rich so might not give a fuck about anything. But whoever took decisions at GGG sure as hell did. The only impressive thing in those trailers is the logo and they look way worse than what was shown at previous exilecon.

It’s a completely different target audience for ARPG casuals.

Talk about copium.

SDG's characters look stylish

no. he looks like drag kween.

Not much to be done there, every female character in D4 is designed to look vaguely transexual or non-binary. The male characters aren't much better. One of the few games where you really just want to hide them in a paperbag.

casuals

I think we need to define this term before we can continue this discussion.

trailers

I'm actually excited to not have to reroll 100 times to get the right gem slot colors.

I have no idea, I haven't purchased any cosmetics and I only have one character. Also, I don't even use the free cosmetics for that character, he's not a tranny.

The new character levels faster because it inherits the bonuses and advances the old one achieved, like a roguelite game. I guess this is to make balancing easier, since between seasons you can change things without players complaining about their longtime character being ruined.

 

[King Crispy]

Liberal, I have a question:

How do you play Diablo IV with your Playstation controller while you're simultaneously holding up the television?

This is the result of Ubisoft collectibles shit being introduced into an ARPG in combination with Destiny players and other mainstream folks who never played ARPGs before who don’t understand ladder/league system of ARPGs being angry they have to ‘replay’ their progression. But retards claim the game isn’t designed and catered to casuals.

Saravan says I suck but here's a video of my puny lvl 66 Sorce rescuing a lvl 95 Rogue in wt4 LOL. I am the ultimate badass.

Why is the footage so bright? You really play with the brightness that high, or does it look brighter when you upload it?

 

[Zeriel]

I am speechless. So this is the "power" of a console player.

 

[KIss My Ass]

On a rewatch that lvl 95 was pretty awful. Didn't seem to be dodging hardly any of the AoE attacks like I was. It's amazing they made it that far. Probably a Saravan type player who cheats and looks up the best builds but has no actual gaming skills.

I dunno, looks fine to me bruv.

 

[KIss My Ass]

Currently hunting Lilith statues and also trying not to kill myself. I don't know who I hate more: Blizzard for putting these pieces of shit in the game or the people who are making the "cheat" maps.

I mean just LOOK at THIS!

They have the statue icons blown up so large it's already difficult to tell the exact location, but they also thought it was necessary to add a huge green circle around every single icon, making it 10x more difficult to track down the exact location. And this is one of the "better" maps I've found. Wtf is wrong with these people?

1. They made it clear long ago "collection" systems were designed to be done once.
2. Link to the hardcore arpg players who wanted to have to do those each season.
3. "But retards claim the game isn’t designed and catered to casuals." - who said that? It's a Blizzard game, nobody expects it to not be mostly catered to casual players.

 

[KIss My Ass]

I'm super duper proud of the character I made and just watch her go!


But here's a deeper, more contemplative view of RPGs, real life, and where the Codex fits in all of it:

You do know the mobs in your ‘world’ are scaled to your level. What you are demonstrating is why level scaling is retarded.

Abija none of what you said had anything to do with what I wrote. Seriously you got the reading comprehension of a five year old.

 

[Reinhardt]

so after few hundreds of hours sdg finally reached the point reinhardt wuz saying after few hours in beta

fren: hey, can you help me with this boss? you are higher level than me.
you: sure!
fren: FAG, Y U SO WEAK!!! WE BOTH DIED BECAUSE OF YOU!

Your direct quotes have nothing to do with what you wrote, I can believe that.

You didn't notice btw none of SDG spells got to do dmg because the other guy was killing so fast, had to jump on the scaling bandwagon. People not playing the game didn't complain about it in a while.

He probably didn't watch the video. I know I didn't. But if what you're saying is true, it's even funnier because SDG seems to think he rescued the other guy when what actually happened is he did nothing because the other guy was blendering everything too quickly.

SDG cannot even save himself..
