watching some streams, the graphics for some bits still looks unfinished, like no proper spell glows and light splash

Should look nice when they add in the raytracing

Streamers obviously have their own server.

Supposedly you get more spell FX as you level each skill up.

You have gained +1 skill in fireworks. Your luminosity has increased. The minions of hell have become brighter.

meh, not going to watch or spoil anymore. Start looks super slow paced though, use this 1 ability for hours kinda gameplay

Not really, level 5 now with Rogue and got 4 skills unlocked. Really cool barrage of bows and flurry of knives.

I've done the prologue now and am encountering others online, so much more depth at the town with activities etc.

Tombstone · 17 Mar 2023 at 18:26

144fps (which is what I capped it at) in 1440, DLSS on, everything on max. Nice...makes a pleasant change

The dynamic matchmaking is good, you can complete little events with randoms if they are near you, they can join in, so good

Mint8 · 17 Mar 2023 at 18:39

Sat in a queue for nearly 90 mins and then.....error authenticating.

Same old thing.

Got home, fired up battle net to find an update for Diablo IV. Ok, not really surprising and nothing a few minutes waiting won't solve. Downloaded the update, clicked play..... 102 minute wait just to try and login! Have they learnt nothing from the Diablo 3 disaster?

Mint8 · 17 Mar 2023 at 18:47

Luckily I am on holiday for 2 weeks when this launches so hopefully will actually be able to log in and play mid June.

Pretty much given up on this Beta and next weekends will be even worse presumably.

I almost bought this last night.

:cry:

stress test for servers
need to break things to know

99 minute queue, got in for half an hour then application error, 72 minute queue.... nah, thats me done for the day.

Its good when you can actually play.

GlitterBalls · 17 Mar 2023 at 19:03

I'm still in, no issues, the game is brilliant so far.

Darujhistan · 17 Mar 2023 at 19:05

Last Epoch looks way better than this tbh.

I've not played it, but seen vids, looks cartoon/Torchlightish.

Diablo IV is shaping up to be what Diablo should be all about, it really is good. About 2 hours in now.

Throrik · 17 Mar 2023 at 19:16

Played for an hour or so and really enjoying it thus far. Will hopefully get a chance to play a bit more over the weekend. Looking like it'll be a purchase for me at least.
