Diablo 4 - We all have PCs

[theshadowcult]

Beta pre install is online and 85 gigs yea pretty massive... theres 2 beta weekends so not too shabby... R290 is one notch above minimum recommended but rest of pc way above... will be interesting to see if I need to buy a new gpu for this.

i read that as 2090 and was thinking, holy ****!

[pax]

I have a Vega 64 that is flaking out right now and prices just keep on getting higher up here... so while I wait I pulled out the ancient R290 and its working fine. Tho not fast by any means.

Installation went quickly heres hoping servers can handle the load tomorrow.

Im trying to keep my expectations low lol...

I watched some streams, looks like they've put more effort into the story telling/ingame cinematics in D4 compared to D3.

[bill dennison]

like 3 the game will completely change 7 times in the first year

Man 2 hr queue just to log into the server...

Error 316719 cropped up after about 40 min of play... disconnects from server then just kept on popping up but game plays well on the old R290.

How many of you dummies are going to pre-order so you can play in the beta?

Well I preordered because I liked everything about the game - the desolate mood, the aesthetics, the open world, the pagan vibe, the integrated dodge, the locked progression, integrating the good parts of d3 like the punchy feel, etc etc. Had no problem paying them earlier for a steadier budget and maybe better game at launch, esp how you can spend few times more in for example PoE just for shiny things, like I did heh. Not to mention you spend so much in a grocery store nowadays that games all seem cheap tbh.

I can also play today, which while not that important, isn't bad either. Very good first impression btw, I find the game simply beautiful and nice to play atm. Ofc it's just another arpg, but in the end I treated D3 like an old school beat em up with stats, no big expectations there heh and I predict I can only be pleasantly suprised further into the game.

The only thing that worries me is that T2 is too easy atm, I play hc character and need to dodge here or there but haven't been in real danger yet. A routine I established for my short D3 burst was to make a new seasonal hc char, set dificulty to torment 1 and go for rifts, really fun though sometimes short lived heh and hope I can do sth similar in D4.

It has the dark mood of D1 with the QOL of D3. Hard not to like it so far.

[CyanBlues]

pretty good so far, too many disconnect/crash, but queue is at least now only about 15 min or so

[Ziklitschli]

Both the combat and world get better and better, skills feel great to use, lot to do and quite varied. Insane how good this is so far.

i finały died in the stronghold, but it was 25+ level I think vs my 10 or sth heh. Now trying sorcerer,, anyway it gets harder if you venture far enough.

[Dungeoncrawler]

What versions did y'all get? I went with the middle one. Wanted the early access to the game in june.

[pax]

Basic which was pricey enough... I can wait a couple extra days...

[Ziklitschli]

Basic but I'll check what you get in the higher ones, or might upgrade just because heh.

[GravY]

I'm enjoying the tiny bit I've played so far. But, I hate the map. And the little things like the Fallen chatter, enemy death audio, etc are missing. Portals don't sound like portals. WTF

I'm on Series X . Is HDR broken on PC as well. Looks like total ****.

[CyanBlues]

lol world boss delayed because severs forgot to update daylight savings

[Ziklitschli]

Sorc dead by randomly spawned Butcher, quite a hc counter heh , with a good few legendaries on him. Rogue next.

Yes map is of a classic sort heh. It's also unbalanced, frenzy was so bad I starter new barb. Memory leaks too, or just server hard to say. The base game is huge though, in every sense.
