Diablo IV

[Sapper]

It is a pretty penny, but I’ve played the first 3.  Tomorrow, I plan to preorder the Ultimate Edition and partake in the beta.  
 

Anyone else going to be playing?

Ill play it when it comes out but Ill never pre-order a game again in my life.

Booted it up last night for a few minutes. Super smooth launch honestly, which is refreshing. I'm on PC. Game looks great. Looking forward to putting some time into it this weekend.

Playing on ps5 and launch has been good so far. Having a blast with it

[Sapper]

Cool- I won’t be able to get on til Friday, but this is great news!

Anyone else playing? I've played probably 140 hours so far.  Lol

Im playing and having a good time with friends.

 

Most of us are pretty casual and have played less than 30 hours.  We play a couple nights a week for a few hours at a time so we are not in any hurry to get through it.

 

So far we are digging it

It's a fun game mostly but there is a lot of glaring issues especially toward end game.  I'm hoping they keep sorting out things.  This time before season 1 was always going to be an "extended" beta in my mind anyway.

Watching the WW Barbs taking the nerfs hard makes me glad I dialed in a Bleed build from the jump.

 

Once they sort out the aspects that are busted the game will be in near perfect shape. Best launch of a game in forever though. Can't recall a game launching with so few issues in recent memory.

I rolled a Barb and went WW and am not going to lie, in spite of all of the constant nerfs I have found it easy and so much fun to get through the game!

Well in WT 1 and 2. I think the nerfs hit harder in endgame.

This "extended" beta time before season 1 has been good for them to gather data.  I look forward to the changes to NM dungeons (better exp, teleport to the dungeon immediately, etc).  They need to buff some skills for different classes, etc.  I think they needed another 6 months to really get this game perfect but it's not far off to where they want it I think.

I played the last game and really found it to be mostly button mashing... which is not my thing. Is this game any different?

Yes its grindy button mashing.

 

I said earlier that I was playing with a friend group that Ive been playing games with for years and no lie this is the first game where one of us just said "meh, fug it this is boring..." and quit.

 

Its a very fitting continuation of the franchise but its pretty repetitive.  Top that off with the community is getting kind of toxic between the try-hards that are bitching about end game poo two weeks after launch and the dirty casuals (like me) who are bitching about the bitching (like now).
