Diablo IV

[ArchAngel]

So I'm noticing a pattern with the asmongold guy where he pauses the videos every 5 seconds to whine and complain like a little bitch. It's getting annoying. Dude, just let the devs talk for a few minutes so they can make their points before you start running your mouth about past shit. It's super annoying and I'm probably not going to keep watching his videos. I never subscribed in the first place.

Yeah nobody wants to watch youtubers who just spend their whole videos whining.

I bet sdg thinks it is ok if they are drunk while doing it.

So, game is good or not?

good

Here's me easily killing the boss that gave SDG so much trouble. And I'm doing it with the Sorc at Lv.41 (no sacred items from T3). Notice the health bar of the boss and how many health pots I have left at the end of the battle:

Bottom line: SDG needs to git gud.

It does not help that he is playing with a controller. It is better for your back/wrists but worse for precision in the game.

Can compete with Path of Exile?

Easily. Different games tho.

D4 is casual monster slayer, POE is autist spread-sheet simulator.

POE2 goes more casual.

In terms of presentation tho, D4 blows POE away no contest.

In initial sales yes, not in long term appeal unless Blizzard gets their shit together. One day it might be worthy playing it on gamepass

Not for the price tag no, dont think i got enough fun for my money. The campaign was ok but end game is lackluster and very quckly boring.

every 5 seconds to whine and complain

it's even more annoying when I randomly skip through the video, and it always lands on a part where the video is paused and he's complaining, but I find it even more obnoxious these devs keep showing up on TV for emergency staff meeting while they sit Infront of a bunch of goofy diablo 4 props

 

[Skinwalker]

I can't imagine why people wouldn't use Rapid Fire as their core skill for the Rogue. Maybe it drops in efficiency on higher levels, but so far (at lvl 47 rn) it wrecks, especially when combined with skills that cause Vulnerable+Chilled/Freeze.

Update: I'm at level 64 in WT4 now, and Rapid Fire still wrecks. I changed my ult to Death Trap, used in combo with Poison Trap, Chilled Caltrops, and Frost Imbuement. Each Rare/Legendary node makes me noticeably more powerful, and I expect WT4 to become a cakewalk by the time I reach the recommended level of 75.

New armor comparisons for the female characters:


I forgot to show off the female Barb. She looks a lot better than the Druid and Necro. I know that's not saying much but it's somethin.

Rogue is the best one looking. Necro looks like a man, what the heck!?

Rogue is indeed a sexy little minx. I chose my avatar wisely. That was eye-opening for me. I now know the only two characters worth picking female for are Rogue and Sorc. The rest are all going to be swinging dicks.

You should go over to the PoE thread and ask them. And also stay there.

Anyways I like what I'm hearing about their plans with the Sorceress. She never should have been a weak bitch to begin with but we are moving in the correct direction. Positive vibes.

You need to understand that this is money coming in for him. And yes he is whining a lot but many parts from that it's just business, so I wouldn't take him that seriously. That's one...

Second, just because you play a game, even at a high-level, that doesn't mean you understand game-design, it's completely irrelevant and this is where Blizzard fucked up. They're trying to please these kind of people because it's bad marketing for them, not from the streamer itself but from the cancer spread that goes to social media from them and that is able to reach the biggest player base.

Forget about PoE2, that's for future shitposting to discuss in more detail.

Plain PoE is a better game than Diablo 4.

PoE is more comparable to vomit and ass cancer.

If you like eating shit, fine. But keep it in the shit eating thread.

Very prestigious motif, though displayed with poor image quality.

Anyways, I'll hand D4 that it has better atmosphere (better than D3 and PoE, still doesn't hold a candle to D2 let alone D1). But nearly every aspect of actual gameplay is worse at this point. Not unplayable, simply worse in relation.

Also, please, for your own good stop throwing money at D4 microtransactions. I'm not telling you to not like the game, but you're simply wasting funds here. The vanilla items do not even look that bad.

Dunno about that, I found the atmosphere of core PoE campaign (i.e pre Oriath) full of flavor and pretty grimdark. It's unique and damn cool, honestly, but that may just be my Romanfag side showing.

People mostly just seem awed by the glitz and glamor of D4 which I don't really get, because even the substance of the story and writing behind it is pretty ass. It has good visuals, but the core is rotten. Pure marketing, it's like how they do fast food burger ads. You're not looking at a delicious burger, you're looking at a strange plastic thing that's been painted to look like a facsimile of something that tastes good.

The incompetence surrounding Diablo 4 has been more entertaining than the game itself.

Entertaining for the people not playing it. As a player it's pretty soul crushing because the game can be alot of fun and has massive potential for growth. The Blizzard self-sabotaging is just depressing af to me. In my opinion they should revert the game back to it's launch state where the game seemed to be at it's best and just go back to the drawing board. Look at all the mistakes they've made and do the exact opposite.

Calm the fuck down, it was just a patch, we're over 35 now we can manage that. Game will be better.

I've literally never used a "build" in PoE or looked at spreadsheets. People exaggerate how hard it is to build in PoE as cope for their own inability to understand things, or because they are lazy and don't want to admit as much. The whole fun of these games is supposed to be figuring things out for yourself and experimenting. Sapping away that fun for yourself willingly is incredibly sad.

every sdg char looks like a man

In his defense, it's almost impossible to make a good looking character in D4. Even the prettiest female characters vaguely reek of tranny/non-binary/tomboy. It's just how Blizzard did all the art.

Well why don't they blacklist the fuck out of them or whatever? Devs do it to gaming sites from time to time. Nintendo blacklisted Kotaku (I think it was Kotaku, I could be misremembering). Basically sent them a big "fuck you" letter and never looked back. That was pretty badass tbh.

Watching PoE2 presentation.. D4 is dead

Not really... I don't see that at all actually, there were a few specific core things that probably are going wrong with PoE2 and GGG is smart enough to keep PoE1 alive. Especially the Path of Souls turn it's not making a lot of sense and they're justifying it as "to attract new players" or even for some, "innovation" which is too much and almost ridiculous to state that.

I don't want my ARPG to be like that and play a boss fight twenty minutes like in WoW or Dark Souls. Plus their infinite evade mechanic forces you to spam it like there's no tomorrow and that's bad design.

It's not going to be easy for them as much as you think, quite the contrary, but they are smart enough to understand that and be prepared.

Yeah I am not fan of the infinite dodge idea. Or not being able to be CC'd ever. That being said they are probably exaggerating a lot and the way the game plays in reality will be similar to PoE 1. Companies always do this. The PR gameplay trailers almost never resemble actual gameplay.

I gotta disagree pretty hard here. I think it's the best thing to emerge from the mess. Blizzard is showing humility, honesty, and humanity in these recent videos. They're proving that they are listening to the criticism (hopefully the correct criticism and not dumb fuck whiners like asmongold) and showing they are emotionally invested in improving the game. I don't have a single bad thing to say about their behavior post 1.1. They are saying all the right shit. They arn't behaving like mindless corporate drones.

You are the one mentioning poe all the time.
Also we enjoy compairing trash D4 with a real arpg like poe

Because he shilled the fuck out of the game before launch and he will do it next time it's needed too.
