The seasonal resets sounds really awful. They should have taken the Destiny approach instead where you keep building on your characters through new content

Disconnected on Blizzard's end just as I was about to wrap up a long boss fight.
I've noticed that over the years, Blizzard games are the only live service games that consistently have this issue. I can count on one hand all of the times I've been disconnected from other MMO's and GaaS games over the past decade. Blizzard games? Give me a week and I'll need three hands to keep count.

Disconnects are so damn annoying in this game. Lose server response for a millisecond in a boss fight and you can do the whole dungeon over again...
Always online is such a load of shit. If you have to do it then atleast do it properly and reconnect back where I left off 5 seconds ago.

There’s an interesting development with blizzard, the aspect that makes it drop crystals is a stagger god and chill eventually freezes triggering the shards.
People are speculating this will be nerfed as it was used to kill the challenge boss.

I'm running a Rogue on Tier II, still in Act1 and level 32 now.
But things are getting really tough now. I'm probably running a bad build or something, because I just can't kill the elites fast enough anymore it seems. Had to abandon some dungeons, because it just wasn't working.
Is this a common theme around that level? Or am I fucking up and it's time to go down a tier maybe?

I would recommend switching to Tier I, you are not winning that much more in T2 yet the difficulty does ramp up
your build is likely a bit weak as well but really T2 is a bit of a mess in the currant state

Fuck that noise! I dont want 90% of my game that i paid for unavailable to play because I couldnt play it the exact month it was available. Destiny literally has the worst GaaS model in the entirety of gaming, and the scummiest monetisation I have ever seen. Keep that shit away from Diablo thanks.

Similar to the build i use. Frost nova with aspect that bounces cc to other targets on hit. Fireball with explosion elemental. Hydra with +6 point (9 in total) Inferno with meteorite aspect. Shreds a whole room in one cascading series of explosions. Its great for solo play, but when i do legion events its practically useless due to the long cooldowns lol

I have played Destiny 1 & 2 and thought it wasn't that bad.
But then I saw this video:
Holy shit. It's terrible.

Started a necromancer. So this is the easy mode early level class Blizzard typically has in their games. I am just blowing through the content using a single button, sometimes two, and occasionally dodging. The bosses are nothing with this class.
fuck. I wish I had chosen this class first. I'd easily be done with the campaign by now. In 45 minutes I strolled through what took me a good four hours on barbarian. And I mean strolled.

I legit thought that’s what they would do even though I Play PoE etc for seasonal content.
It makes more sense imo for a season to look something like :
Tier 5 introduced
2 new uniques per class
A ring “set” green drop
One new higher tier of gems
1-3 hour story narrative quests
New end game mechanic to inject fun and the ideal way to level your BP and character
Raise item level cap to 840 base
Introduce 3 new aspects per class
2 new universal aspects
1-3 new legendary items (transmog)
Add 2 new yellow sets per class
1 new giga chad boss with sick loot table
And for the purists if you reroll you get a ranked ladder and some cosmetics if you hit level 100 during season, and another cosmetic for new giga boss on seasonal .
Would’ve been mint.

The game feels like it has an indie budget in some areas, especially animations during ingame cutscenes. The worst is the beginning when your character is being carried on a cart, just embarassing. Then the NPC turns around by spinning in 1 spot, the Gamefreak way

I think its time for me to put this down for a bit, at least until the seasons start, grinded out some NM Dungeons solo and wasn't haven't much fun anymore, that endgame grind is very repetitive solo, if there was a in game LFG or random dungeon group up's, it could be a lot more fun
Still I had my fun and I'll check out a new class for the first season, I've unlocked all of the map and the renown stuff is almost complete in most regions (Level 3 on most now) and thinking Necro or Sorcerer for that first season

Bet the campaign and switched immediately to World 3 difficulty.
So far none of the Sacreds have been any good and it’s still too easy!

What build are you running as Rogue is God tier while leveling?
I run a hybrid twisting blades like the link here except I found a build running poison imbue and shadow imbue dropping shadow step for poison imbue

Is the current cap 820? I was quite disappointed when I found out gear won't keep scaling until we are level 100. Kinda silly having close to max item power items already dropping in the low 80's. 99% of them are garbage but still, would rather get to max level first and then start farming for higher level things.

Yeah the final act was great, enjoyed the story a lot.Just got around to finishing the campaign, 45~ hours.
The final act was extremely dope.

Yep, once you get to 75ish you will probably have the best gear and very little reason to continue.
I think their decision to delay season one til possibly late July is a bad one, a lot of players have hit their wall with their mains, and prob will wait until seasons start to make a new fresh class. I bet their numbers have falllen off a cliff this week
Imagine the buzz if it was starting tomorrow, thats how you build momentum

I'm taking my time with this, but having a great time so far. Level 20, still in act one. I try to read this thread and it's almost like it's written in a different language 
My Barbarian seems a little over powered if anything at the moment - not had a difficult fight in world tier one for a while (which I'm okay with for the time being). Just using gear that I find along the way.

I got through the story (basically skipped all of the last act, watched the last cutscenes on youtube, and read the plot summary) but I'm only level 42. Need to level up to 50 and do the dungeon to unlock WT3. At first I was doing side quests and dungeons but I read you can easily hit lvl 50 playing the story so you should skip everything except story stuff. Well that didn't work out for me.
The skills I have I'm getting really bored of them. Probably going to reset my skill tree and fuck about with it to find something new. I picked Rogue class. Not sure if I can be bothered doing another class right now.

I'm trying your build and it is so much more effective than mine, but I kind of wanted to have a ranged character, shooting arrows

Yes it's making the game quite stall after you get most of your gear which is around 70
revamping that would be a massive W

I switch back and forth often to a penetrating shot build just to give it some variety (much like the buildI'm trying your build and it is so much more effective than mine, but I kind of wanted to have a ranged character, shooting arrows

Doesn't sound normal. Your build or gear must be at fault. It's not a breeze at that level but you should be able to go through tier 2 dungeons alone.

Don't worry...seasons are months long (2 to 3 months if D3's seasonal is any indication).
Seasons have been a Diablo thing for years btw.....

Sorry, I read your statement as insinuating a season for d4 was only 30 days. I thought you might not be aware of the length they have been in previous iterations of the franchise.

Im warming up to the idea of levelling up for the seasons. The renown you start with should be enough for the first two reward tiers. A Lilith statue is 10 renown and each map has 50-70 regions at 5 renown each.
So doing the legwork for those on your main character should make the transition each season a lot easier to deal with.

Tried PvP for the first time yesterday and got absolutely wrecked. Some dude a bunch of levels higher than me just strolled over and froze me, then smashed me to smithereens. Tried to go back with a sneak attack and he just did the same thing. I like my build, but I guess I need to spec into some sort of Unstoppable skill, as being crowd controlled is basically the only way I'm dying in PvE as well.
How does PvP level scaling work anyway? Is it scaling the same as with PvE enemies - i.e. will I get one-shotted by players at a much higher level than me, or is anything about it normalized?

The pvp is really unbalanced so unless you are level 80+ im WT4 you're possibly gonna get ganked loads

When you make a new character after you've beaten the campaign, you have a option to skip the campaign. I can confirm that you can do this after you've made your new character as well too. There's just a button on the side to skip it. Quite sure this will be how it works when the season comes since blizzard stated that you have to complete the campaign before you interact with seasonal mechanics. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong about the Lilith statues but the way I understand is that you only get renown for the statues if you've already found the statues. The stat bonuses that you've already gotten will always be unlocked for your character regardless if you find the statue(s) again.

Got ganked by three guys killed one.. I was pretty proud of myself but....
Had I known I would lose 100% of the red dust I just collected, I would have just ran!

what does the 'season reset' thing mean for a filthy casual like me that only has 3-5 hours a week to play, likely will takes months to finish? will they keep deleting my character ? what the fuck.

Past three nights I have gotten home and have had zero interest in logging back in. I enjoy when I'm playing I just don't know what the point is. Everything is the same but there are more difficult versions of the same thing I was doing 20 hours ago, it's not exactly a compelling reason to keep playing. Congrats you beat that nightmare dungeon at tier 20, now do 30!!! And while I get that seasons are being handled how they have been in the past I have no desire to start over. Destiny does a lot of things right, and probably more wrong, but the structure of things is really well done. There are no raids or 6 person dungeons to break up the monotony in Diablo 4 content. World bosses don't count cause those get boring after the third one you do and you realize the strategy is pretty much always the same.
I am hoping they can really add some fresh content to the game in the coming months but it looks it's back to games I need to beat until that happens.
