Looking at recommended builds, didnt realise elective mode!

I'm thinking of getting this, I played it on the PC but the console controls look really good.

I'm a little confused with the difficultly though, on the PC you started on normal and then moved on to nightmare etc.. it looks like the console has difficuly settings to so for instance Normal (Hard) how does that work, whats the difference? how does online work with all those settings? this is the only thing putting me off at the moment.

Actually I just read it increases the HP of monsters etc. I'd still like to know how this affects online, will you only join people who are playing on the same difficulty setting or will it scale for co-op anyway?

some console players are reporting that they're losing followers gear after quiting the game, so until a patch it might be a good idea to take off any nice gear your follower has before you exit.

Haven't had it happen to me but I won't be putting any legendaries on them for now!

I just finished the Skeleton King on the demo Normal mode. I thought it was a great fight. Not too weak, not too strong. Just a perfect battle. Itching to play the full game but I really want to wait for the PS4 version. AAAAGGGH!

Generous demo then! Yea i found that on normal too

Is it bad that gta is out tomorrow and i have the day off for it.. Yet part of me would rather carry on on this, i think the diablo bug has bit me i now see why people love rerunning and continuing to improve there chars!

I he the ps4 version is 1080p at a solid 60fps! Although not bad now it occasionally drops when it gets really hectic but not to a point of being unplayable

where cheapest?

Just tried the demo and I found the targeting controls a little frustrating, especially trying to target summoners

Semiskimmed · 16 Sep 2013 at 11:49

Theres a lockon thing with L1 or 2 that I didnt know about but it didnt do much for me as I was ok aiming at the mobs freehand most of the time but it still trips me up from time to time

Shamikebab · 16 Sep 2013 at 11:51

lock just seemed to lock on to a random enemy, when you often have 10+ enemies on screen it seems a bit useless.

I like some of the improvements but for me Diablo really does need a mouse.

I'm not a big fan of having to hold down shift to stop you moving when firing.

It played well with kb+mouse. Not tried the demo yet I might give it a bash tonight.

I'm so out of touch with the keyboard for gaming. Last night I was near death and slipped and hit W instead of Q for my medical potion. So I died.

I don't game much on PC anymore as I am awful using wasd for fps games these days. Clicky games like Diablo and RTS are fine for me though.

I gave in and bought this yesterday, obviosly the graphics are not as good as the PC version but I think the console version is better.

I was surprised by the demo and wanted to play more yesterday, I sould have waited for the PS4 version in view of GTA V tomorrow and then Beyond Two Souls etc but it's one of those pickip and play games.

Can anyone recommend a good Wizard build as my DPS is not good enough atm

How do you "build" a character? Aren't all the stats preassigned and any weaponry is just down to the luck of the drops?

Its all about gems, primary and secondary stats, and the moves/spells you equip
