What's your review so far
>>738041337Just finished the campaign a few hours agoKINO Mephisto fightTwist at the end I didn’t expectI’m certain there’s another expansion planned but not sure how it will start
>>738041337Overall It's OK/10Making builds in the skill tree instead of attached exclusively to gear is a good change, but the tree is still too small. Needs way more skills and/or options to change the skills.Crafting and gearing in general is pretty good. Adding sets without making them tied to gear was a good thing. Removing all the junk stats and runes was good. Story is better than the last 2 entries (of D4), nice to have a conclusion. Good that Nyrelle died. Bad and kind of heart breaking that Lorath died. Needs more end-game activities. The war plans is good to mix up your activities, but there's still not enough variety. Warlock is dogshit. It's just a turret class and it's not good at that. Paladin is good, really fun.Still no Diablo in a Diablo game.
I want Azmodan and Belial back they were coolAnyways yeah mephisto is pretty good but lilith can fuck off already. Not sure what the point of having the angels even was desu
>>738041882Belial is in the game since Season 9/10? and Azmodan was part of Season 11 and I think is now a potential World Boss spawn
>>738041876>Still no Diablo in a Diablo gameI mean isn't Mephisto basically the same thing thoughI would get the complaint if the whole story had you fighting humans or something
>>738042317Diablo is cooler. They can add whomever they want but unless they add Diablo, the guy that the game is named for, it will be a complaint.
i thought about buying diablo 4 but i realized i already have diablo 2
i'm in t6 and feel like i'm getting bored. my interest always falls off partway through the endgame
- The charms are sick and well implemented- Set bonuses are pretty cool- Horadic Cube is much better than I thought it would be, finding a perfectly rolled 3 affix rare and adding a 4th affix before you start enchanting is neat- War Plans diversifying your endgame experience is a good thing, as much as you may hate the Undercity or Infernal Hordes- Leveling your War Plan to give Nightmare Dungeons a chance treasure goblin spawn is just fucking cool- new skill tree steals all basic aspects from the codex/early dungeons and just has them for you to adjust through your leveling/endgame for free- I can't say for certain because I haven't seen a database of all the new aspects and uniques but, underperforming builds seem to be buffed across the board with more general aspects and set bonuses that just buff whole damage types, rather than say a specific damage skill like boulder for Druid. So Fire Sorcerer seems to have more blanket options to keep up with the metafaggot electric Sorc players (who are all faggots and literally cannot stop gobbling cock).
I cannot find a class that isn't boring as fuck. Paladin is boring, Warlock is boring, Barbarian I wanted to spin to win except you spin to win for 2 fucking seconds before you're out of fury and have to build again.I fucking hate build and spend.
>>738041876>Paladin is good, really fun.How does it compare to D2 paladin? Only have a hammerdin I’m working on currently in D2R but I own D4 but never beat it so if this expansion is alright I might be tempted to try it.
>>738042934It's more comparable to the Crusader from D3. If you just want to hold right click and throw hammers you can.
>>738042875>out of fury and have to build againI've only played Barb in a couple seasons but among Druid, Sorc, Necro and Rogue I've never had issues with "build and spend". Are you sure you're utilizing tempering with the Resource Generation and Resource Cost Reduction affixes? I remember playing Hammer of the Ancients a few seasons ago and my entire rage meter was gone in like two swings but I had so much generation that I could get it back in one or two basic attacks.
>>738041337I played IV for like 2 hours when it first came out and hated it.I came back and bought the expansion today and played the whole campaign then got into endgame.Expansion story/campaign 6/10. Awful pacing. Only redeeming factor was mephisto voice acting and 'moments'. Campaign had a couple decent boss fights at torment 8, otherwise totally shitslop boring.Endgame 8.5/10. I played a lot of poe1+2 so im used to having a bit of crafting autism and gambling, and the horadric cube recipes provide just enough of it to keep it interesting for me. The paragon board system was also decent and there is a lot of min maxing to do with how you set it up.What I like most about the endgame is focus on actual racing and not convoluted map autism and currency trading. The variety of activities is also welcome and interesting. Being able to just do a warplan and make progress is nice also, for when I dont want to think and just want to blast and test a new build.The variety of unique build enabling/changing loot is pretty vast also, with powerful and interesting effects. For example my paladin found a 2h axe that massively buffs auras and drops consecration when you use them, so I turned him into an auramancer. Apparently its a very strong and popular build, but its all thanks to that axe.Overall its very addictive. My primary complaint is the inconsistency in quality of class design. Sorcerer is one of my favorite classes in 2 and wizard in 3, but in 4 its spell effects look really bad and dont interact with raytraced lighting in the same way paladin or necro skills do. Its also annoying to play.
>>738043259Thanks for making an actual post on /v/ in 2026.
>>738042978Word, idk if I would just want to do the same build but in new game but I don’t hate the crusader. And if what >>738042770 says is true about off meta builds not getting left in the dust I like trying shit like that out.
How is Rogue during the levelling and early endgame process now?
Also let me add that creating and alt and getting it to 70 is incredibly fast. You can do it in minutes with some stored experience books or in a couple hours organically just doing content.So you can easily try out all the classes.
>>738043396I just power leveled a bow rogue and blasted him up to torment 6 with absolute trash random gear. Shadow infusion and barrage/rapid fire trivialized the process. Once you get the level 20 specialization it really takes off.Focus on lucky hit for energy regen and its smooth sailing.
>>738043396Early endgame I switched to cold infusion penatrating shot with shadow clones. It was very strong with zero investment in gear. Just basic resource gen from lucky hits.
>>738043653Sounds good. I'll have to run through the previous expansion since I stopped playing base D4 before it came out, but I'm getting the ARPG itch again.>>738043762Nice. That's my ideal endgame starter, something you can easily do with whatever gear you have while you start working towards more of a unified build.
>>738043327I have not looked up a build guide. Currently doing T8 easily, just cleared the pit for T9 without issue. Just a random minion build for necro. I have dogshit gear. Only one item with a GA and I only got the GA randomly from the cube. You can do pretty much whatever you like.
>>738043952Thats because necro minions are broken. Other classes actually have to gear to do t8+.
>>738043952>MinioncuckYou didn't beat the game.
Game looks great graphics wise with everything cranked up....but the spell effects are still cartoon garbage. So weird.
I got to about paragon 220 and finished a handful of the final chapter as whirlwind barb>campaignactually kino as fuck, the lilith cinematic was my fav and I didnt hate doing it which is rare as the last expansion almost had me quit halfway through>early gameactually really good and you jump up torments healthily instead of it being a triple stat check jump>getting build togetherthey pruned a ton of aspects but I struggled to get what I needed for a while, tons of things I wanted to use are just gone now. I was making shit up as I went blind because build guides didnt exist but that shouldnt be a problem now>charm systemsets are very strong and will give you tenfold damage on the spot but it drops so many I started filtering them for movespeed/core. also wish there were more than like 3 of them for barb, was hoping for a wasteland set.>war plan tablenobody wants to do helltides. stop forcing me to do helltides on every path.>the tower and new endless waves keystone trial thingypointless and gay>endgamecreating gear is really easy, its like poe system but for retards and not really risky but you wont be churning out 4 stars with all the stats you want its still an rng shitfest.>uber mephistohe died like a dog. actually hard as fuck though. cool fight with an extra phase (story ver starts in phase 2 and has way less mechanics)
I really enjoyed some of the zones in vessel of hatred. That exposed seafloor temple area is probably one of the beautiful things blizzard ever made.
>merc choice is choice between a cannibal granny, an armless giganig, and a trannyOk
>stash is account wide>can only unlock 6 boxesLol
Auradin arbiter pally has to be one of the top 3 characters ive ever played in an arpg.
>>738045352Not using any mercs for that reason. They're all disgusting and unlikable.
>>738044032>>738044274I do minions every season. I have suffered enough in the past.
>>738042650Set a goal for yourself then when you meet it move on to another game. This is an endless grinder.
path of exile >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Is purple Warlock just the worst version of Warlock? It seems the coolest thematically at least to me just summoning a shitload of demons but it seems subpar
I hate female characters.I hate lilithAll male characters are purposely weak and retarded.Darksiders did the same exact story about Heaven, Hell and the Nephilim but better.Mephisto is cool now, nice, but still a doormat until his better anikis arrive in about 2028 and 2030 respectively.No, i am not going to put up with EGS bullshit at the price range of $80 USD plus Battlepases and Microtransactions that more than triple the price of the game.Chink game for gay retards / 10
>>738041337I haven't played since it released, never played any of the expansions, but... are they planning on including actual Diablo in a fucking Diablo game...?What about Baal?
>>738046662poe is too bloated and speedcrept, and playing the economy having to price items is tedious
