Yeah, just like Path of Exile some of the outfits look cool and some look naff. I just shoved twitch on in the background , muted it and let it run whilst I played, that unlocked a bunch of free cosmetics. Theres more each week for the next 3 or 4 weeks I think

So, as a complete diablo noob and a noob to any game like this (i have played rpgs but not like diablo) how easy is this game to get into? is it a overly difficult game? can you play online with strangers?
Whats it all about lol im quite tempted to buy it but would hate to lose £60 if its not accessible for a noob or too difficult.
Oh can it be played ok on a xbox pad also as that will be a big factor for me as only use keyboard and mouse when playing fps games, everything else i play on pad
Thanks

Why do you have to log in?Gone are the immediate logins of early access it seems:
Was hoping to hop in for a half hour while my food cooked.
Because it's an online game that requires a login via Battle.net.

One of the reasons I prefer 'old' Diablo. Could play it solo or on a local LAN without needing Battle.net. Online is fine if you want a larger group but it does irritate me that Blizzard make all of their games online only now.

Thats so weird, I've literally just fired up Diablo 4 after having dinner and its logged me straight in, no queue, no wait.

These kinds of games can become very addictive if they gel with you, you are essentially in a never ending grind to get stronger as you progress through a story mode and eventually into endgame activities, all centred around killing monsters and finding/managing your gear, levelling up your skills, which in turn allows you to push higher, get better rewards and so on. They are designed to be time sinks and can potentially offer hundreds of hours of entertainment over their lifespan, it's all about the journey in these games, not necessarily the destination of how you want your character to be.
You have a number of classes to choose from when you start, all very different from one another. There are also two options of World Tier when you start, these basically modify the difficulty and rewards you receive, WT1 essentially being easy mode, WT2 being your medium mode. The other ones are unlocked once you've progressed through the main story and offer a big jump in challenge/rewards. There's no pressure to move up or down, you can do the whole thing in WT1 without issue and move up as and when you're ready. It can be played completely solo or grouping up online (which offers benefits too), there's plenty of activities throughout the world where players can bump into each other and help one another along as well.
Story wise, it's easy to follow but very lore rich so a basic breakdown doesn't do justice to all of the backstory. It's a properly dark, morally grey world where the forces of heaven and hell are stuck in a never ending conflict, often spilling into the mortal realm where you, the hero, have to rise up and fight. If you are interested in the game I'd actually consider checking out some videos recapping the story of the series so far, it will give you a very good idea of how all the world works and who the big characters are.
It's best suited for mouse and keyboard, but is absolutely fine with a controller, they've done a good job of translating it over to a pad.
Have you been claiming your region rewards?
They are in there, along with other bonuses, go to the map and press W and then claim all your goodies

Thanks, i am interested in the game, it looks completely different to what i would normally play but that interests me, think i will watch a few videos and pick it up next week, is there a preference to class for a noob? i would usually be drawn to barbarian but if that class will make the game harder i would choose another.
Basically what class is best for a noob lol
Thanks again
