Ok, so I just finished FFXVI and wanted to boot this game quickly and get greeted with error code 34202 (on PS5). What the hell is this? I just got a patch notice and it started loading. Is it because I don’t habe the patch yet?

I would assume so. It's a live service game so they are not going to let you log in with an unpatched version.
That’s weird like once I got past lvl 50 I basically destroy anything my level. It needs to be a challenge dungeon or difficulty 4 for me to get sweaty at all. Otherwise it’s group and spank.

According to the patch classification system the devs explained in their latest stream, the old patch was "chonker" but this one is "chonkest" make of it as you will
yep

They don’t understand Diablo logic.
Wolf tornado is powerful because it’s locked behind and RNG wall. And that’s ok.

I am half surprised by the state of the game yet still playing it because i wanted to try every class/build but damn... it lose so much interested around lvl 70 no matter what you do
Completely missing the essence of what is Diablo (instead focusing on making it look like D2 or whatever, who cares... it's about the gameplay loop)
I guess we have PoE2 incoming if they really can't fix anything

Think I'll jump back in when S1 starts, try out a hardcore Barb. Even if I never touch the game again I absolutely got my $$$ worth, it's fantastic though having marinated on it the past few weeks I feel like D2R is the superior game (all things considered) and it's a game that had me captivated for *weeks* despite being much smaller in scale/no real endgame, says a lot.

The loot is compelling in D2R which is what a Diablo game should be about
Also despite the lack of QoL, the remaster is absolutely stunning
TheDarkPhantom

Correct (though it's not *only* the loot that puts D2R above 4).

Ensure your drivers and firmware/bios are up to date
After that, do a repair on the game install

I'm a level 50ish barb. Found a good synergy between my aspects and feel like I barely upgraded for the last 5 hours of gameplay.
Game is still very nice but it's missing something for sure. Wolcen is definitely more interesting in terms of skills and character builds somehow...

In case you didnt know, there are 8 boards with different features that you can choose from. You can preview the boards by clicking on the gate nodes on the first board. When it unlocks at level 50.

It's simultaneously bland but also the best part of the game haha.
I mean, clicking a node for +5 wisdom in itself is lame. But once you start building it up, using glyphs and working towards special nodes it gets crazy. Before I hit the Paragon Board, I just felt like I was getting steadily more powerful. After I started working up the board, my power began increasing exponentially.
It feels like the game doesn't truly start until the Paragon board imo.

It kind of sucks that the meta is to get as many glyph slots as possible and skip most of the legendary/rare nodes not on the direct path to the next glyph slot.

Diablo IV Patch Notes
We will continually update this article with all patches the development team implements for Diablo IV.

Initial reading I think they toned down the damage and +damage and +vul across the board.

Maybe but lately my lev 76 necro is so powerful I blow up everything. But on the other hand leveling to max might be a second thought now as I dont really feel the urge to grind.

Making everyone less powerful isn't the solution in my mind, though. Making players want to easily experiment with different builds is the solution to long term retention. I'm just disappointed that they reached for the nerf bat once again to try and make their game fun.
Yep.
It's unfortunate but Blizzard simply doesn't understand how to implement good GAMEPLAY systems anymore. Pristine polish, cinematics, production values, etc. No one who understands how to make games (that or just people at a decision making level who fuck it up).
Oh well, lots coming up in August and the backlog is huge - one less time sink won't hurt.

Its still a lot of fun but i do think they have failed to surpass Diablo 3 in terms of how long term loot progression is handled. O ce you hit 80+ loot is fucked

“Aww, it’s so...average,” she said to him in a cold brick of passion
I saw the patch notes trending on Twitter and people joking about how awful they were but I had no idea they were this awful.
The sorcerer class might as well be removed from the game with how hard they were hit.

Erm, I cannot start the game because it tells me there is an Update being loaded but I have no download going on at the moment.… What?!
Edit: Now it popped. Only 30 hours to wait. LooooooooL

Thankfully with the changes in the new patch getting to 80 will take forever. Now you don't have to experience the worst part of the game.

Yeah....some of the patch notes seem very off. I want to check out some of the changes myself, hoping its just being lost in conversion to public patch notes.
Really odd choices to make if these are accurate.

Like I told everyone days ago ... avoid Sorc. They were already as durable as wet paper bag but now they are significantly worse. Also that new teleport Unique added to the game this season for Sorc?!?!? It's stupid and It completely negates Sorc's only viable Unique (Raiment).

I was hoping they would sort sorceror out in this patch, their track record was always decent in terms of balance, D3 was superb in that regard. This patch has fucked sorceror in the anus big time, its so bad now I dont even want to play at this point. Just gonna wait til Thurs and roll a necro for the first season, I'm done with sorcerorLike I told everyone days ago ... avoid Sorc.

So my barbarian lost over 2k in base damage from 13k to 11k in addition to the crit and vulnerable damage affixes getting nerf batted. Although overall I still have 270-300% each of crit and vulnerable.
Definitely not an inspiring patch at all and it reduces my enthusiasm heading into Season 1. I will still play and see how it goes but man, talk about deflating.

After the patch with Sorceror I get one shotted in normal dungeons at level 84, this wasnt happening before the patch. Actually cant believe what they're doing with this game
