Diablo 4 Thread

I've never understood the mentality of those that are saying they are happy they waited and have saved money. As soon as something comes along with hype and is online based or "MMO-esque", the general consensus seems to change that it must have at least 1000 hours of playtime and at least 2 years of end game replay ability before it's worth £60.

I personally think Diablo 4 is worth the money. Ignore what others are saying, ignore the massive social media frenzy and just make the simple following decision. Do I like ARPGs? If the answer is yes, you will like Diablo 4 and will get your monies worth if you make it to level 70 and Tier 4 (Which I personally feel like is a good milestone to having think I've finished the game in my head). If the answer is no, don't buy this game. It's not going to change your mind on ARPGs. Blizzard does a fantastic job in my opinion of innovating on top of the genre their games are based off. Diablo 4 is their take on D2, D3 & PoE combined, which I again, personally, feel like they pulled off.

If I compare my recent experience with Harry Potter legacy (random other game), I've put in 40 hours and completed enough of the game to know I'm pretty much finished with it despite having lots left to do outside of the main story. I've put more hours than that already in d4 and I'm not even 70(54) yet and have loads I still want to carry on with.

Think it’s suppose to from what I was reading, I’m currently on WT2 lvl 33 and already had quite a few legendary drops.

World tier 3 and 4 give access to sacred and ancestral items respectively which have better stats than their WT1/2 equivalents. Also, in WT3 and 4 there are unique legendary items.

Im getting a few from WT1, more than i expected tbh but if WT2 gives a much better improvement over the difficulty level then i might just give that a go. WT1 isn't hard at all, but its definitely not boring either haha.

Does OCUK Clan have a discord channel?

No, what’s a grim dawn?

NeilFaz · 15 Jun 2023 at 16:02

Not much dog, whats a grim dawn with you?

Ayahuasca · 15 Jun 2023 at 16:11

It suddenly dawned on people that this game is grim.

I attribute what some people say, to FOOHF, its the older brother of FOMO. Instead of Fear Of Missing Out, its Fear Of Others Having Fun. Some people are just that way inclined, you can easily spot them because they tend to pop up in the threads of 9 out of 10 new titles and just moan about the game or take shots at the game. For those people, it actually seems to irk them that other people might be enjoying a game so they repeatedly post negatively presumably in the hopes that it will put people off game X and they wont have to tolerate Others Having Fun

WT2 doesn't have better loot drops. You get some extra XP and gold per monster kill, and that's it. In my opinion, other than the capstone dungeon, playing WT2 is a waste of time.

Hmmm sounds like its best to go WT1 level 50 complete the campaign then jump straight into WT3.

Pretty much, that's what I did. WT2 is utterly worthless right now.

Why so?

Been enjoying iceshards sorcerer a bit, will try rogue next. Can anyone confirm for me though - I've been reading as little as possible outside the game to try and not spoil much of the game for me so far (I'll look at optimal builds eventually). I've read about capstone dungeons though to unlock the next tier of difficulty. Can someone confirm: do I have to complete the campaign in its entirety per character to unlock them? Ie I seem to recall on D3 I could just create a char, wack it onto torment n and jump straight in and never go near the story.

You only need to complete the campaign on one character to unlock the capstone dungeon. You then get the option to skip the campaign on any other characters.

What's the consensus on gems? I don't feel like I have a lot of choice. I've been putting ruby's in armour, skulls in jewellery and topaz in weapons.

Also, paragon levels, I may be being completely stupid here but if I get 3 per level won't I be able to have everything selected pretty quickly? Most of the options on there are pretty uninspiring too.

You get a total of 4 boards with the paragon system, best bet is too look up your build and see what paragon point spread is best, I'm on board 3 at present about to unlock the 4th.

Ah that'll explain it. Not much choice for me so far, pretty clear which way to go.

The paragon board is all about choosing the right boards and glyphs to go in the sockets. There are also legendary nodes on boards, some of which aren't required for certain builds, others are.

It actually makes a huge difference to your build once you get a good way in.
