Why did the other thread get deleted?
>we want the HRT audience
trannies like to pretend humans don't have sexual dimorphism beyond the genitals and boobs, but the juxtaposition of feminine/masculine characteristics only makes it more obvious for the non-mentally ill
>>737932621they don't like selling games
apparently my early seasonal progress is locked behind a "equip a 3-set charm" challenge. is there like something i'm supposed to do other than just smashing through war plans as usual and getting lucky?i have a 2-set for like 4 different sets at this point, pretty annoying.
>>737937516Use the cube anon
Why can't there just be a single thread for general d4 stuff this soon after launch? the /vm/ board as a whole is dead as fuck, let alone the diablo thread there.
>>737938029ARPGs are as hard to talk about as CAGs. Everyone is so violent all the time. D2 threads are chill though
How does the girl paladin look?
>>737938178Worse lol. But not like you're wearing a helmet all the time anyway
>>737938294Is it true that the paladin is just the Crusader from D3?
>>737938029better yet; why is there no Diablo general on /vg/?
>>737938354There really isn't much to talk about. It's not like PoE where most of the discussion is the meta side of things as well as the player market. Most of the meta side of Diablo is already solved even before it comes out live.
>tree of wispers burned down>still taking quests from it
>>737938654time is convoluted pls understand
>>737932621Is the game still dogshit? looks like dogshit if I watch streams.
>>737938329In what sense? You don't ride around with a horse or anything. You instead look like a mix of an irl crusader with maybe 40k aesthetics, with purity seals all over the armor.
>>737938883It's still more D4. If you hate D4, then nothing much has changed. New map is better though. I also like the story more than VoH and the base game. The skill revamp is so so. They shuffled a bunch of the skills around and removed stat passives in exchange for D3 style rune nodes
>>737937867oh right i see there's 3-to-1 and rerolling to a different piece within the same set. well i still got screwed and have ended up with 2+2+2 in different sets for now... which is hilarious but annoying.
>>737938029we tried a /vg/ thread initially, instead of discussing the game and lore and giving actual feedback from having played it we just get the worst kind of /v/ tourists hyping up PoE because they're either chinese shills or promoting tribalism when everyone that plays ARPGs could easily play every season of PoE/PoE2/LE/D2/D3/D4 in parity without issue. it's like these resetera social justice diversity types who are merely puppets of the pedophile elite don't actually play games.
>>737939694You unironically cant discuss poe either. Look at the shitshow that is the other thread. The general is also garbage and mostly just gossip about the devs.

I'm trying to spot the differences; is it just that Type B wears a top?
>just finished the campaignMan, the format of these games just makes the evils all come off like such jobbers. That's not a new problem, but still.
>>737932621Is the expansion worth a run? I played through Diablo 4 once and never even bothered to do any more playthroughs because of how mediocre it was.
>>737941610Classic women behavior, great writing.
>>737932621I'm okay with it.
>>737942908Only got this one
>>737943125The first expansion was doggy doo doo and put me off diablo iv when i had a semi positive outlook of it prior.
>>737943220Well, one of the most famous VN heroines has her take interest in you after you literally dismember her brutally. because she's an immortal vampire princess and you're the first human she sees that not only dares to touch her but actually manage to kill her. It's the same case with Lilith. She respects your strength.
>>737943059They are, but the problem is that they keep coming back and the heroes are not immortal that they can keep them at bay forever. With each new installment, the heroes of the previous game usually go crazy, die or grow too old to be any useful, while the demons simply respawn and kill thousands of people at their leisure again. That said, did we ever know what happened to the D3 heroes? I know the D3 Wizard was the apprentice of the D2 Sorceress.
>>737943517Nope. Knowing Blizzard I bet they will put out a small lore dlc for it that will also 'accidentaly' make D3 seasons worse , so that D3 players finaly switch to D4.
im liking LoH quite a bit
>lord of hatred is actually so good that all the usual d4 haters have left is acting like the biggest virgins on the internet trying to convince everyone that women arent sexycope and seethe
After doing a Pala run, now I will make a Necromancer
>>737943517we probably will eventually. i mean we just found out what happened to D2’s paladin in this game
>>737943745If they remember or even acknowledge D3 at all. How they can just ignore that one time Hell nearly destroyed the High Heavens and Sanctuary is impressive, but I don't recall any mention of that in D4.
>>737944342i cant tell is this is sarcasm
The prophecy actually just being a vaguepost feels like kind of a cop-out.
>>737944126i've played every season, female sorc is the only slightly looking "Body Type 2", here is my rogue with the beta wolfpack and Tassadar's armor, Felo'Melorn, Xal'atath, Blade of the Black Empire, and one of 7 crossbows i have purchased, i have every collector's edition. I've bought every season pass. I also buy founder packs in PoE, and swipe for costumes in gooner games.Warlock and paladin "females" straight up look transexual, rogue has a man grunt and a fridge body but all I main are assassin female archetypes. I also have zero issue with worshipping Lilith, or Lady Sylvanas, I am subservient to strong women by nature and loyal to one in real life. I have been saying these titless fridge women are transexual since the start.What they fear is choice. If there was a choice, a real choice, between D3-style bombshell females with big breasts and model faces, and their hyper-realistic chudfaced muscular transexuals, everyone would choose the bimbo, even the women. So they remove all choice and force their vision.
>>737944342They actually do. Like Lyndon has an entire questline in D4. He's the mayor of backwater. Hell Lorath Nahr was the horadrim companion and the first dude you meet in Reaper of Souls.
>>737944538Isn't that what all prophecies are? On the other hand the spear of light isn't the weapon that kills Mephisto but rather it's what you see when you do finally banish him.
>>Neyrelle gets wacked in the opening cinematic>Lorath "Cid" Nahr is backThe beginning is giving me a false sense of hope.
So, why couldn't Lilith just be less of a cunt the entire time and then we wouldn't have even been in this situation?
>>737945889>founder packs in PoEFunnily enough, the reason I ended up playing diablo 4 in the first place was because I wanted Vaal outfit from the founders pack and I want to play an aztec character but this shit is 160 dollars. Then I found out D4 has a spiritborn character. I don't know why PoE2's cosmetics are so goddamn expensive.
>>737946749He is asking about heaven invasion and ripper apocalypse , not D3 side-bitches.
>>737947216For one, you managing to kill her made her respect you more, plus you're the only attachment she has to the real world, so she's desperate since she doesn't have an army of cultists at her beck and call. Most importantly though, screen time. Despite being the main villain of D4, she was heavily under utilized at all since you spend like half the game chasing after Elias instead. You barely interact with Lilith.
>>737947216Because she was a baddie and the writers are making shit up as they move along, this expansion already feels like $40 apology for Vessel.
>>737947321in that case, to be fair, nobody mentions about the worldstone's destruction in D2 or the original events of Tristram at all.
>>737947359You think? With the exception of waifu lilith so far everything seems like a >what, you didn't like Neyrelle and the jibbering 'muh spiritualism' natives? WELL FUCK YOU THEN
So uh, where do we go after Lord of Hatred wrapped up every plot beat left over from 4? How can Blizzard still give me the best Diablo classes, Monk and Witch Doctor
>>737947414I'd argue it's for the entire game even. Not only do they kill nearly everyone important in D4, they also don't include the Kyovashad church which everyone hated. There's like one npc related to them but it's very minor. Everything else is memoryholed or doesn't matter.
>>737947321You'd think more people would talk about Malthael almost killing the entire human race. At least we got a mention that the Invasion of the high heavens was what caused the Angels to seal the gates to Sanctuary as most of them realized that interacting with mortals just always leads to a calamity.Most Angels just hope that mankind dies out on its own according to Tyrael.
>>737947547Meant for >>737947359>>737947541Khanduras and Baal is teased next, looks like.
>>737947618Suppose they would leave Diablo for last. Or knowing Blizzard, Baal might end up getting seasoned like the lesser evils did.
>>737947541Probably Xiansai with Baal next. It's pretty clear they will bring back the prime evils one after another. There's also the new plot hook with Trag'Oul (The great Serpent in Hawezar) leaving the Tree of Whispers behind for unknown reasons.
>>737947575I'm more curious that it seems Blizz has completely forgotten or written out the entire nephalem thing. The end of RoS showed that the D3 character was becoming a god where neither heaven nor hell can stop them and potentially become evil but they haven't been hinted at all.
>>737947728Nephalem are in an odd spot, some of them are technically still being used by Diablo Immortal, which was why Tyrael was off limits until this xpack since he was being used there previously but recently went back on the shelf.Meanwhile younger versions of the Nephalem occasionally show up in Immortal, cause Immortal still uses the D3 classes. They might just be entirely off limits until DI kicks it.
>>737947728Nephalem or not they're still mortal. If the D3 guy didn't die, he's as old as Lorath was. I'm sure we will get a hint to their whereabouts in the next expansion with Tyrael getting more screentime.
>>737947690ultimately depends on their schedules. Like D3 ended up getting shafted because RoS didn't sell well enough to justify future expansions so they just scrapped most of it and sold us hastily made necromancer while adding a new map for free and moved on to D4. With D4, not only did they not scrap the game after the disaster of VoH, they still bothered to make LoH. If it flops, they'll probably call it a day and just dump either one or both Baal and Diablo as season bosses without a storyline before finally moving on to Diablo 5.
>>737947227>I don't know why PoE2's cosmetics are so goddamn expensive.with gacha boxes
because ggg are greedy fuckers. POE1 was free2play so that was their source of income, but POE2 has a box cost and they squeeze MTX even harder in POE2.
>>737932668Gotta appeal to the dicklet chink paypiggies.
>>737948179It's utterly ridiculous. I would even paypig if the prices were reasonable but nearly everything is 30 dollars minimum.
>>737932621"We want the Modern Audience(tm)"
>>737947227>I don't know why PoE2's cosmetics are so goddamn expensive.i'm not excusing PoE2 because seriously, it has so many fucking problems. But in theory, it's f2p (it's just the "beta" that's buy in), and supported by the MTX.Diablo 4 is a 60 dollar game AND has buy in battle passes AND cosmetics. PoE2 is greedily monetized in it's cosmetics and convenience MTXs, but that's all it has (at least in theory, monkey paw curls a finger they decide to charge $50 for it at the end of the beta ps ADD A FUCKING SWORD TO THE GAME ALREADY JESUS FUCKING CHRIST*)
Didn't really enjoy Warlock, Paladin was more fun to play.
I dunno if Diablo 3 changed radically from pc to console but i picked up a cheap ass copy of the ps3 version that came with the expansion and it's legitmately one of the most fun action rpgs i've played.
>>737953518Console players get the dodge roll. It's bullshit they never added gamepad support for the PC version.
self insert art is self inserty. 100% the tranny did it to OWN DA CHUDS
>>737947958D3 sold like 30 million copies or something and a lot of that was RoS sales, especially on switch
Does D4 have the broad strokes of the story laid out in advance or do they literally just make it up as they go along?
>>737943238Looks like a black metal band vocalist
>>737954624Besides teasing who the next baddie is, not really.
>>737954624Broad strokes and making things up. They probably keep everything vague enough to allow them to do what they did in Lord of Hatred of characters aren't received well after introduction.
>>737954643Just wish Warlock would be more fun to play.
What class should I play if I get LoH? I usually ran Sorc in vanilla D4, then I played through VoH with a Spiritborn. The SB was strong as hell (not surprised there, new classes tend to be like that), but I quickly got tired of spamming feathers while teleporting around like a spaz.
>>737957408Blizzard Sorc is super ultra mega broken(good chance Blizz will patch it)WW Barb is stonk and most likely Pala is also pretty good.
>>737932621westoids are so fucking faggoty man
Alright, jesus fuck I'm bored as shit and it's only 50 faggot leaf bucks, I'll fucking buy it, fine. This better not be as shit as it was at launch, and I better be able to make a warlock that doesn't look like a raging faggot.
>>737958342>WW BarbPlease tell me this build can get off of the ground without needing Mythics. I vastly prefer builds that have an actual sense of growth as you acquire key pieces instead of the builds that basically don't function at all until I've ran lair bosses for so long that my eyes are bleeding.
>>737947227>I don't know why PoE2's cosmetics are so goddamn expensive.To be honest, it feels like to me they're expensive to artificially push people to buy the supporter packs.>"What?! An Armor set is like $35!">"Wait... there is a pack here. $60, and I get a full armor set + a portal + a bunch of other shit + $60 in points! It is like I am getting $120 worth of shit!"Because, yeah, if Armor Sets made in a lab and you had to buy one, it is a great deal to basically get one for free by buying a supporter pack.Except they're not. They're a digital good. They can be $10 for a full armor set.I've spent a lot of money on PoE, but I've also been playing it for like 10 years. I've probably spent like $550 in total, and I think every dollar was on supporter packs.If anyone wanted to play it, $30-50 is all you need to get all the stash tabs you'll require. In fact, I'd argue you should NOT be like me.I have too many stash tabs. It encourages me to pick up way too much shit and even though my loot filter is strict I gotta make it stricter because I just cannot help myself. If you have less space you get used to just getting rid of shit. You'd still need a currency/map/merchant/frag/etc tab though, of course. GGG needs to take your money somehow.
>>737932621>First expansion flopped so hard it was given in the pack of the second, with two classes nowStill not buying it, D4 at launch was cancer
>>737932621why can't western devs create attractive women?
>>737947227>Poe outfits sucks ass it's like they don't like to make it>Diablo 4 outfits are fucking $20
>>737958806You're in luck: lair bosses now drop absolute shit. You probably won't be able to get the build running smoothly (resource sustain) until late endgame, because the devs removed reliable sources of aspects that provide resource sustain.
>>737959156They should focus on making good games first. D4 sucks and no amount of coomerbait will fix that. The most embarrassing part of these threads is that THIS is their biggest problem with it.
>>737959120>>First expansion flopped so hard it was given in the pack of the second, with two classes nowThis is how Blizzard's done new expansion for the past 15 years.
I don't remember shit about the base game, am I still good to skip the initial campaign and go into vessel and then lord? am I gonna be fucking lost?
>>737959820There's a video summarizing the entire story shortly but you will be lost without playing the original campaign. It sends the entire groundwork and character dynamic for Lorath, Lillith and Mephisto / Neyrelle.VoH can be skipped tbqh, the entire storyline is literally "You look for Neyrelle and Mephisto threatens to corrupt her then Mephisto takes over Akarat's body to pretend he's literally Jesus."
>>737959341That's fucking fantastic news. I don't mind a build that requires me to moderate how much gas I'm giving it at all until I get some key late-game pieces. It's the builds that don't even function at all prior to that point that I dislike. If lair bosses aren't worthwhile anymore, what's the method for acquiring Mythics? My first guess would be the cube, either through specific recipes or through some sort of rune transformation recipe to make crafting them more feasible.
Do you miss D3 yet? At least the female barbarian in that actually looked like a female, she was basically a more muscular Red Sonja, and the female wizard was a cute little Asian girl voiced by Grey DeLisle(sp?).
>>737937290wtf lmao, saved
>>737938178STRONG jawline
>>737933018>Remember how the Druid has to be fat no matter what? It was always gonna turn out like this.I got really excited for a second, I love me some thicc bitches, but holy fuck it's not even remotely attractive.This is just some fat old hag waddling through walmart or some shit.
>>737945889I liked my necromancer chick when I played, I just wish she wasn't so damn FLAT.
>>737962860It's so funny that three years later and Druid still doesn't have a BDSM skin that even the new classes gotYou just know execs are kicking themselves for caving to muh body representation types back then
>>737954624Probably only had the broadest of strokes up to LoH, vague plans beyond that. I'd be very surprised if they planned on dumpstering Neyrelle from the start.
I half-expected they'd just sideline Neyrelle and leave her in town or something, not kill her the way they did
>>737947227>I don't know why PoE2's cosmetics are so goddamn expensiveThe cosmetics are basically free, you get what you pay for the pack in points back to buy stash tabs or other cosmetics
>>737963225Just sell a hot druid for 25€
