** Diablo 4 Thread **

Was thinking about buying D1 on GoG and reliving the good old days Such amazing atmosphere and music (and obvs, great game!).

You've made me want to dig my copy of D1 out now! It's still probably my favourite. I see there are a couple of HD mods so will have to look and see if any of them are any good.

Just wish it was full release !!!

Rogue then Barb this server slam weekend.

 

[AStaley]

Played Sorcerer first beta, fancy Rogue this time around, although all the classes look pretty decent. Did see rumours of a hidden class, wonder if that will prove true, or maybe released as a DLC.

In and Barbarian made, lets see how the barb plays now

 

[DanF]

yeah really want to try Barb but starting with rogue this time

 

[DanF]

the control changes are nice

- uncombine
- mouse 1 to Move & Interact

Mouse scroll move also work if you untick zoom on wheel, takes a while to get used to but very useful

Remember, holding shift allows you to range attack without moving. This is my first Diablo game so wasn't aware when I tried the last test (as a Sourcerer).

Rolled a Rogue this time, plays nicely. Very smooth and flows really well.

See that they have still limited you to Windowed or Windowed (full screen). Full screen seems to have been removed since the 2nd beta, cannot enable HDR nor set fps as cannot select a display.

getting some slight stuttering every now and then.

Went rouge this time round, see that some of the alter locations have changed as well.

Straight to Druid to try it out again. Feels like it's taking a lot less damage this time. The boss fight with Neyrell's mother and those succubus creatures with all the red crap flying around was much easier. I like it so far.

 

[Tombstone]

Well I felt like my Barbarian was doing better, right up until I encountered the Broodguard (the spider that throws out poison and webs everywhere) and he promply annihilated my Barb who failed to even get it down to half health

Does it feel more powerful?

Still left with the same feeling that I'm not really having fun playing this game. Feels a bit like work. Maybe work is more fun even.

It felt more survivable, not necessarily more powerful. At least it did, until I ran into the Broodguard

On the plus side, at least these free weekends have allowed you to find that out before you spend any money on it, every game cant be for every person but at least this is one that you know doesnt click with you and thats saved you some money. One of the reasons why every game should have a free beta/demo weekend imo

 

[xaldub]

Wow. Not having fun this time around with the beta. Balance seems out of whack : crap loot ( barely even any yellow items ), increased mob density ( have already hit lvl 20 just running about on the overworld map ) and annoyingly hard dungeons that feel like "nightmare" level rather than world tier 2 ( full of elite mobs with abilities that stunlock you for several seconds or longer ). It's actually making me think about cancelling my pre-order.

 

[DanF]

aha, balance to me feels much better as we're only hitting lvl 20 so 1/3rd of levelling. Rogue twisting blade build with poison trap is happily clearing content with no legendries equipped at lvl20

Hopefully they will taper the amount of legendries and aspects as we move up to max level

 

[Soulja]

Has anybody with a 4080 had issues with the beta? It mostly runs fine but every now and again the gpu usage will drop massively and the game will stutter for a few seconds.

£60 is too much for a game

 

[Tombstone]

£60 is too much for a game

As long as it hits the £ per hour , which based on how many hours I got in Diablo 1, 2 and 3 it should do, then I'm fine with it. £ per hour is my goto system for establishing whether a game was value for money.
