Diablo 4

[DXCHASE]

Bringing this back because the beta drops for pre-orderers this weekend. Anyone jumping in here? I was also going to probably start a new thread on the impressions from the BETA if thats fine instead of leaving it under this thread.

if thats fine

Sure, whatever works best for you devils

 

[Colif]

Sure... after Immoral I won't believe anything until after release. They patched all the bad stuff in after reviews were out...

This looks boring

Its too early to tell, its just a beta and they only have 3 characters this weekend. They introducing 2 more classes next week - Druid & Necro. Only act 1 of game "supposedly" and the progress in beta won't carry over to live so I just wait and see what changes are patched in after reviews.

Its slow until lvl 15

I hope with world bosses and the like, that the people there who only made wow for last 10 years, aren't making Diablo into an mmo.

I have pre-purchased the game. Avoiding all betas/early releases, reviews, etc. I want to play D4 "fresh", from my own perspective. I have enjoyed D3 WAY too much. I can only hope that D4 is half as enjoyable.

I am glad I am playing Grim Dawn so I won't be watching any of the hype that will happen in the next 3 months. I will try to wait until game is out before buying it.

So I watched this and I hope they change how gear levels are dealt with. As Krip says, the Legendary you find this level won't be amazing in about 3 more lvls. Legendary gear should only drop rarely and be something you can build a character around, not some throw away item you need to replace 3 levels later

Sacred 2 the gear levels changed on set pieces every 15 lvls or so. Grim Dawn you can find similar armour at lvl 35 and lvl 50.
Both of those give you time to use and enjoy the equipment before it needed to be replaced.
D4 sounds like you constantly need to look at gear to find that amazing upgrade that only works for 4 levels before you need another one.

How they did gear and reduce the items importance and elevate the stats instead, means people won't be looking for the perfect items, but instead want to collect the perfect stats. Less likely to be able to sell those. In 3rd party markets. Blizz tried to take the money with the AH, now they saying no one can have it if they can't

Monsters levelling up with you means no sense of progress, you don't feel any more powerful than you were before levelling up,. if anything you can feel worse as the percentage of power gained by them might be larger than your gains. It should be sane, if you level up during a dungeon, they should be the lower level until after you complete it. Not change level right away.
