Diablo 4 - We all have PCs

[Nascar24]

i got to 80 something cause i was mostly playing in a party, before the season. Played the season, skipped the campaign (big mistake), and had to grind out to 50, then after hitting world tier 3 realized it was just the same things again and quit around 60 something. There just isnt any endgame drive.

Yea, really nothing left after you have run through the endless quests. Even those were just fetch or kill. Really stoped paying attention to those stories as well. I skipped the season non sense thinking I was going to get to 100 but at this point I’m thinking I maybe done. Why waste another month doing the same thing for really not much.

[theshadowcult]

I prefer to stay on the surface, don't care much for the caves. Don't care to run a million nm dungeons for small gain. There really is nothing much to do after you finish the story around 50. I run Whispers, do hell tide occasionally and a few world events, rinse and repeat since 50. Really will be surprised if I can keep going. I'm worn out at 91 and haven't felt like playing a whole lot the last 5 days.

Just noticed it’s taken me a month to go from 82 to 91

91 now but it’s a struggle to continue just to get to 100. Very repetitive and super slow moving the level bar. Definitely would never touch seasons on this Diablo.

[theshadowcult]

I struggled a bit with the repetitiveness of it. I think I put it down in my mid 30's and haven't gave it a go since. Maybe after I finish BG3 I'll try again.

give path of exile a go instead. Its got a bunch of alternative things to do, so whenever you feel like you have played too much of one thing, there is a dozen others you can try. d4 doesnt have an end game yet. Once you complete the campaign and side quests, it really doesnt have anything else to do.

Just out of curiosity, what about it do you like? Also have you played other arpgs? Which ones? What also do you not like about d4?

Well, first of all, it is miles better than D3. Loot no longer tied to an AH (comparing release versions here, I know D3 got fixed a lot since then). Game has a lot more activity going on. Combat feels great. Not too fast but not too slow either. Loving the graphics, art and animations. Great music. Attention to detail is great on cosmetics that I don't feel the need to bother with paid skins (not that I ever do generally).

It isn't too complex but has enough depth. I ain't looking for an +800 hour experience. So far the game got me interested to play a season and create a character from scratch. Preseason I played Necro now in S1 I play Druid. Also having friends helps a lot. It is that kind of game that is enjoyed while with friends on discord or solo (for a quick run or on steam deck).

[theshadowcult]

Is the extra content from season 1 going to be incorporated into the eternal realm?

no. they specifically said this one wasnt, and most wont. However they will maybe add some stuff in the fiture.

Pretty rediculous really. I wouldnt want this one to be anyway. the hearts or whatever are nice to have, but the mechanic sucks. They had better put the boss in the base game though.

I gave up after level 51 or some such. Ain’t nobody got time for clickity clack.

[theshadowcult]

Just saying here something. Loving Diablo 4. Ain't perfect but it is amazing.

[Nascar24]

Not touching seasons, don't really see the point, still working on the eternal toon, 82 heading to infinity.....

[nutcrackr]

Most of the stuff on the season pass seems pretty lame tbh. Will play a bit more though. Doing a druid for s1

I am glad they removed the level minimum requirements for going all over the map though.

Good to see people are enjoying it.

[Nascar24]

On WT4 and just 100 percent the side quests. Level 79 now, it’s definitely a much bigger grind than D3.

[KAC]

Changed to World Tier 2 and went in the Capstone w/ level 49. Curator boned my ass 3 times. I had to go to office. This mofo is going down next time I am there. Mother f...

[KAC]

You should have a priority quest for the first one, it is located in the cathedral in the main town.

I think I already did that but at WT1. It showed up as a quest to do after meeting the tree.

Oh well, I will indulge over the weekend if I need to re do it at WT2.

[theshadowcult]

Just so you know, legendary items are not anything special in d4. The item system is different from d3. Legs are just rares that dropped with an aspect already on them. Unlike in other games where legs are the apex item.

[nutcrackr]

Did the story in WT2 (found it fairly easy / normal) Been on WT3 for ages and will probably move to WT4 in another few levels (currently 63). The Capstone dungeon for WT3 is in the first main city, inside the church. It's a yellow icon on the map.

Played 80+ hours overall, 60 of those with necromancer. I still like the class and enjoy the combat mostly, but progression has really slowed and I'm going through the motions. Even paragon points are hard to come by now and they feel like small upgrades on a messy big board. So many legendary items drop, half of the are worthless, another half I'm trying to compare the aspects in them, and 0.005% of them are actually real upgrades.

I've tried all other classes. Generally had fun with all of them but Rogue and Sorcerer are probably my favorites outside Necro. Might make a new druid for s1 if I can be bothered.

PvP is unbalanced crap. World bosses and world events are spammy and dumb. Helltide is fine and they need more content like that. Dungeons are still fun enough to do, but need a few more objectives. Side missions are .... decent actually. Some have good story elements and are not too fetch tasky.Only done like half of the side missions with me necro, which is insane. Whispering tree contacts sort of keep me going for a bit since the rewards are generally good. But I'm at a stage now where my upgrades are more like sidegrades and it's really slow going. Almost like hitting a wall but I think a better description would be just walking through molasses. Might put this game away for a bit and come back to it now and then. I don't want to burn myself out on it and tbh I think this game is best played slowly.

Gold drops should scale with the max level char on your account. Otherwise the gold drops on low level characters is worthless? I have like 15 million gold shared across accounts, so what's the point of picking up 20 gold coins? Lower tier items are not quite as worthless because you can at least get materials for salvaging them and these can be used for upgrades even top-tier gear, but gold should scale imo

[KAC]

Oh OK. What is capstone dungeon? Sorry I can read the internet but this might be faster. If no one wants to help I can understand.

[Drexion]

If I switch world tier does the story reset?

No. Change as many times as you want. WT2 is seen as a waste of time statistically, generally I see most people complete the story on WT1, complete the capstone dungeon on WT2, then immediately switch to WT3 around L50-ish.

[KAC]

If I switch world tier does the story reset? Because I don't want to play the story again.

[Mangler]

Do the dungeon that let you pick WT3 if you want better loot too, all the fun stuff is locked behind wt3+.

[theshadowcult]

Ok will try to mop up sides then.

not all of them are worth doing, maybe half the side quests are just a mix of single do a thing quests for random people, and finding random drops from an enemy that you take to someone in particular. The other half though are good chains of ten or so quests with some nice stories, and its those ones that are often tied to the main story. No way to tell them apart.

[KAC]

[theshadowcult]

There are a lot of side quest chains that are either mini stories, or continuations of events that happened in the campaign. There is definitely more story.

[KAC]

So just to get this right. If I am to continue playing what can I expect? I am level 49 right now and most quests are exactly the same. Go there and find something or clear out a dungeon to find something or break into a stronghold and clear out a dungeon under the stronghold to find something.

There is no more story so not sure what is the point except better gear but the game levels up with you so I am expecting better gear only means exact same gameplay?

Is there a time where I will actually feel powerful?

Love some thoughts.

[Mangler]

I wish D4 had a mechanic that would just reveal the location of all of those lilith statues in a region, it would have been kind of nice if the strongholds could act like the ubisoft towers.

[Seyiji]

Finished it at level 48. Once I replaced ball of lightning with Blizzard, things became significantly simpler. I give it a solid 9/10. Time to uninstall.

Thanks for the replies.

Will have to give the chat a try. I'm on Xbox these days so hopefully it works.

The butcher got me hit then on respawn I couldn’t find him.

Hit level 41 and still on Act 3. Just traveling is such a chore as I am unable to get to the main quest without hitting a massive detour. Not sure why the map has this many dead ends and loops in Act 3.

Anyways, will keep playing until my shoulder falls off.

World tier 3. I can barely make it through T1 before I will likely give up on it.

You can right click the map and get a gps route. No more dead ends

Also, the tiers are just difficulties you can switch to like in d3. The only requirement is level, having completed the campain and doing a single dungeon. You dont have to play through multiple tiers. like in d1 and 2, or games like grim dawn.
