Diablo IV

After PoE 2 comes out whats left of this game will dissipate

Lets hope PoE2 is that good.

Better than D4 isn't much of a hurdle in any department that isn't art.

I have more fun playing D4 than D3 or Last Epoch and many other less known and popular aRPGs.

If you polish a turd long enough, you lose your sense of smell.

Got Diablo iv on a discount and enjoying the campaign so far. It is different with hub areas and main/sub-quests (more like a MMO). I am currently in WT2 (have no other choice) and the easy difficulty is killing any enjoyment in finding rare and legendary items, and in any form of crafting.

Is there a way to restart the campaign in WT3 with increased difficulty with the current character that I made (currently at level 27)?

They really fucked up the campaign difficulty with the item rework, and it wasn't too difficult in the first place. There is no way to play it outside of WT1/2, period. I think your best bet is to wait until the next season(mid-august) and hope Blizzard gets a clue.

Best bet is to skip campaign and switch to WT3 ASAP. You can do that earlier than when just following campaign story if one just wants to play for some challenge. But real challenge comes when doing high level pits or nightmare dungeons.

Right, I meant for if he wants to play campaign

nightmare dungeons.

Not anymore, they got nerfed massively

Thank you for your replies. It is a shame that I have to skip the campaign as it is interesting and I thought this is the bread & butter of the game (still longing to classic Diablo 1 and 2 play style)!

The campaign is hopelessly easy with rare and legendry loot thrown at every corner, so is crafting material but all are useless as you can steamroll through mobs without any difficulty and without much thought into gear, weapon stats or skill! Otherwise the game is fun, the atmosphere is great and appropriate, and story is interesting.

I will try to skip the campaign and see how things go (even though this option indicates that I have to finish the main campaign and cathedral of light quest first). Thanks again for your replies.

If you really need that challenge don't equip legendaries and don't upgrade any rares after you equip them first time. Or just play with half the gear.
WT2 has been insanely nerfed for some reason.

"just don't engage with the game's core mechanics if you want a challenge"

WT1 was very easy, WT2 was a good difficulty for a new player.
Now WT2 is so easy playing naked must be what the devs want (didn't check WT1).

2nd capstone dungeon has also been massively nerfed so their intended route through the game seems to be:
- sleepwalk til lvl 35 in WT2 and move on
- graveyard rush your way to some sacred items in WT3, go to capstone somewhere around 50 (depends on class and drops luck, barb was easy at 49)
- graveyard rush some ancestral items in WT4
- play the game

What is this graveyard rush and why would you remove little challenge there is by doing that?
Better to do it like me, switch to WT3 and go straight to Helltides or Nightmare dungeons and have fun until you get good gear and challenge disappears.

When you go to wt3/wt4 at low lvl you get 1shot randomly when fighting blood maidens/hellborne champions -> gy rush.

Wait, is this thread still here? Why? Is an always-online service, not a single-player game. Should be on the MMO forum.

It's literally an MMO wearing an ARPG skin

 

[Cyberarmy]

They tried to copy The Lost Ark and similar games but kinda failed on that part.

 

[abija]

It's not a MMO and they didn't try to copy Lost Ark. You're confusing it with an old Blizzard practice of trying to force skinner elements in their games.

cocksucker1998 and xXxMenstruationBloodxXx you see running around you are not real

 

[ArchAngel]

Only MMO lite things in D4 are Legion events and World Bosses. World Bosses end in about 10s and Legion events are boring and pointless and are only useful to get some better gear as soon as you switch to new WT by letting others kill shit for you (and getting seasonal awards).
There are also Helltides but number of other players there go from 0 to about 5 when doing Helltide boss fight.

So every multiplayer game now is a mmo?

if you can't do anything about MaStErBaToR and HUEHUEHUE666 jumping and rolling around in your game like chimpanzees - yes.
