Credits are rolling.
I liked the story a lot. There was a bit of of filler here and there, so not super tight, but I liked it. Lilith as a villain... super good. The story felt very "demonic" in the sense that it deals on the subject with some depth. The final cutscene, however is a disappointment - while I understand the need to keep things open ended, there MUST have been better ways to do it.
However, the decision to mostly ignore the events of diablo 3 leaves a bunch of holes. I understand why they did it, but in practice this feels like a soft reset.
Personally its an 8/10 for me.

But you haven't seen any endgame so far, right? I've heard thats when the fun begins (paragon board, tree of whispers, WT 3 and 4 etc.)

Finally got my mount and immediately equipped my Ashava Trophy
The Lilith horse is pretty sweet too IMO
But anyways, been taking my time playing solo in WT2 and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. People complaining about Rogue damage simply aren't playing properly. I'm not following any build guides and I'm still destroying everything but tanky enemies. It's hilarious how quick some bosses go down with the Shadow Clone Ultimate (which will likely get a nerf, unfortunately).

Yes, loads. On PS5.
Nothing to do with my internet, which is fine.
Game will be rough for the first few weeks.
Tnx for sharing, hope it will get fixed soon.
Hiw can check if its something on my internet?

Which version runs better? Xbox or PS? I recently got a Series X but I always buy the games for the PS (every DF Video tells me PS has always some kind of advantage). Could this be my first Xbox Game? Please forgive me if the question was already asked.

To be fair, I read them and rolled my eyes, but jumping back into my rogue I barely notice a difference.
Does anyone have any new farm locations? Just have smidge left to hit 50. Doing tree of rinse and repeat.

No, you have to beat the capstone dungeon on WT2 but then you can progress to WT3. But until the capstone dungeon you can play WT1 all way through.

Agreed. Same here.

So people on Reddit are losing their collective minds over these nerfs. As a filthy casual, it sounds to me as though Whirlwind Barb will still be viable, just not overpowered. I do want to play endgame content though - am I setting myself up to have a hard time by sticking with Barb? I'm enjoying it more than Druid thus far (both level 27).

How is the deck handling the game? 40-60 in most areas?

Pretty much, I have it on medium settings and about 45 fps it pretty decent for this

Medium?! Wow that’s actually decent. Damn I might have to double dip on this then…..can’t wait till the 6th to play it

From what I’ve seen it’s just that Barbarians (I haven’t played one yet but judging by the encounters and the skills) in a full melee build they have very limited options in dealing with enemies that have hazards surrounding them. When I fought a guy who had poison surrounding him on my Necro, while I casually sat back from the fruckus; literally my first thought was; ’this would be an outright pain in the ass as a melee Barbarian’.

The lucky hit being reduced isn't earth shattering. Pulverize is all about converting it to earth damage and having bonuses on CC mobs

2 College Graduations, 3 High School graduations and 7 graduation parties later over the last 2 weeks and finally flying back home overnight and its time to hammer this game

I just want to beat it. Thinking of putting it on my Steam deck. Lol. My wife and I are making progress on PS5, but she wants to do all the events. Slow as molasses compared to D3.

Nothing in the nerfs was earth shattering; they basically just slightly fiddled with the numbers on a few skills, it’s just a slight tweak in the grand scheme of things (right or wrong, with the changes either way it won’t have a huge impact overall).
It’s going to be the equipment affix changes that will be the build-breakers, but they haven’t really touched the legendary traits yet; where they don’t just tweak the numbers but also the wording (and in the process the way the affix works)…
Once they start messing around with that then we will likely see big endgame build changes, not just minor number tweaks on the main skills.

So end of Act 2 and level 20 or so, I've discovered (well I bet someone else has) a nice Poison Rogue build with the Traps and Imbuements along with Cloaking, basically conceal, lay poison trap, dash away, twisted blade anything that survives, pretty fun
However I've read in the description you can lay more than 1 trap (up to 4 it says) but I can't due to the cooldown, how do I do that?
Oh also these dropped, pretty nice defensive shield bubble drops often enough to make it worth keeping

Feel like I haven't progressed gear wise/getting stronger since campaign is over with my druid. I have all my needed imbues from dungeons but don't have enough mats to do so and the gear I have isn't worth imbueing imo. I feel just like starting over with another class

Yeah did a few dark tides and some tree quests. Need to finish up renown stuff though. Had a blast running through story stuff with you all!

Yo thanks for the runs earlier. My pc crashed right at the end of the event.
Went to a blue windows error stop screen and when I turned it back on, telling me to select a boot device. I think my SSD might be screwed.

I was getting a lot of hitching, rubberbanding and frame drops last night, but I saw a tip that suggested changing your Windows network settings to Public. The network device polling caused by the Private setting is apparently causing issues for some. Anyway, it's been smooth as silk for me today in my first session after the change, so I thought I would through it out there.

Cant wait. Amazing how Diablo games take over 10 years to come out now.
D1 = 1997 (although I'm positive my bros and I played it in late Dec as my bro bought it as a PC store shopping)
D2 = 2000
D3 = 2012
D4 = 2023

I haven't been this addicted to a game since diablo 2 dropped.... If I was a bit dumber I'd have already ordered a ROG ally just to be able to play this one game in bed.

I posted about this above, but try changing your Windows network settings to Public.

Playing through the Torment world tier with my Hardcore necromancer and its fucking INTENSE. This is seriously a great game. It's got to be the hardest Diablo by far and I have barely scratched the surface.
If my rogue survives the final torment run I will be stoked. Anazed I made it this far tbh, couple times I was convinced I fucked up and got through by the nostril hairs
Maybe it is just my build but Necro is significantly harder to crowd control with than previous games

My buddy who lives in the same town was saying the same thing. I haven't seen any of that. Super smooth. I wonder if it's the private settings thing, he can't check right now since he is at work.
