Are elemental resistances broken across all characters or is it just the Sorceress? Reason I'm asking is because every time I see the problem brought up it's always in a conversation revolving around the Sorc. I always reroll the resistance affix when the opportunity presents it's self.

It's broken for everyone. It's probably mentioned with sorceress alot because she lack survivability across the board.

I think it's all characters, I've gotten little to no value from upping elemental resistances for my Rogue for the entire game (especially noticeable when facing WT4 fire-enchanted elites/bosses).

Ok, so I'm through with the premium battle pass and if Season 1 is the the blueprint for future seasons then D4 will die.

This first season is fucking lackluster. The new content is just one extremely boring questline with a mediocre bossfight. The new malignant heart mechanics are annoying and fail to shake up the game in any meaningful or interesting way. Same with new Uniques, most of them outright suck. There is very little here that really motivates me to come back to the game every 3 months if that's how it's going to be.

Then there is the fucking premium Battle Pass. Just because you "anchored" the price for cool cosmetics at $25-28 in the fucking in-game shop does not mean it's a good idea to shovel shit-tier cosmetics into you $10 "premium" Battle Pass. You're not getting $25 from me for a fucking skin and you're not getting $10 from me for 90 levels worth of shit unlocks.

Blizzard better step up their game for Season 2 or this bitch is gonna be dead.

Renown farming is what will ultimately kill D4 unless it's removed. I am intenionally avoiding it with my Rogue even though it would benefit her big time. Renown will be this game's destructor, I'm calling it.

Also this.

The renown farming bothered me less than I thought it would. The increased renown for quests and dungeons made it bearable. Just barely. I don't think the devs can realistically expect players to do it AGAIN next season, though.

I'm not really worried about it, because it seems like an easy enough fix. I'm more worried about Blizzard's ability to make seasons and battle passes that are worth the time and money investment. I'm more worried about Blizzard's ability to improve combat to a point where it can be fun and challenging without having to rely on CC for difficulty.

The game also needs massive QoL improvements ASAP. The fucking horse is infuriating to use and managing legendary aspects is a fucking chore. They all have to same fucking icon and having to sift through 2 inventory tabs full of aspects by mouseover tooltip makes me wanna kill myself.

They better go big with Season 2 or I doubt most people will bother with it because right now, the game simply isn't good enough to successfully convert players into long-term returning customers.

A friend of mine gifted me the game for my birthday for PS5. What is this shit? It is unplayable due to lag, rubber banding and network atrocities.

The hits and spell damage registers after a 1 second delay, enemies teleport over the map, my character stumbles while moving.

I don´t have problems with other multiplayer games.

The thing is maybe understandable for some MP games to have some bad server performance day, but the game behaves as if the calculations of hits and movements of enemies and MY CHARACTER are doing remotely! I wouldn't complain if I see another players rubber banding from time to time.

I just wanted to play 1-2 hours of relaxing killing monsters alone, but it´s not possible for a game that SHOULD allow that.

This game is cancer and Blizzard deserves bankruptcy, I'm glad I didn't spent money on it.

If not for the above I would be talking about the dissapointing weak skill tree.

I heard rpgcodex was the place to be, to talk to reasonably intelligent gamers and rpg enjoyers...
292 pages of D4 talk. I was misled. Can't believe anyone is still willingly logging into D4 servers...

While D4 certainly has issues, this is something on your end. You did say you had no problems with other games, but rubber banding only sometimes occurs when you're exiting a large settlement. And yes, this goes for all plattforms.

FYI, I'm only taking photos of my screen because my PS4 only gives an option to share via Twatter (or internal messages), and I don't have a twatter account.

You're playing on a ps4? Jesus. Atleast upgrade to a 5. How does this game even work on a ps4? That thing is a potato at this point. Your fps must always be in the low 20s.

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.

I switched back to poison imbue because the chill/freeze bonuses don't work on bosses until they're staggered.

How many bosses are there? (Google said 20) I wish these games focused on battles like that.

Like that? Plenty. Most people complain are easy and forgetable. When you are blessed with game journo skill levels though, even those are an adventure.

Decent boss fights for an ARPG? I'd say like 5, maybe.

720p and 30fps or less and long load times are beautiful to you?
None of this is even remotely true. It's a PS4, not PS3. There would have to be at least 5 exclusives on PS5 that I really want to play before I would even considered buying it. So far, there's only one: Demon Souls remake, and a possible second one: Final Fantasy 16. That doesn't warrant five hundred dolals.
