How does the Necro feel with the buttons? A lot of multi-managing or is it fairly intuitive?

Diablo 3 on a controller works really well in general (other than builds that require num lock auto click spam) so long as you're using the Option to unlock button binding

It feels good, the targeting is reasonably well done, you face the general direction of mobs and the corpses closest them to them will explode. I never felt like I exploded the wrong corpse or hit the wrong enemy or anything like that.

I purchased the Necro pack on PS4 and its still not working. Everytime I select the necro pack on the title screen/try to make a new Neco character it says "There is no content. It might not be for sale yet, or might no longer be on sale". I'm on Euro Ps4, my game is fully updated, I've tried restoring the licences and resetting the console numerous times without any change. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

Hello! If, like me, you had a disc based version then went for the digital version because of a sale, then you have to fully delete the disc install and begin again. It wouldn't let me just move over to a digital version and it treats them as completely different games.

Ahh, then I am not sure. Unless you are from the EU? I got 2 seperate versions when I bought digital. One was for the UK and the other was Russian/Slightly outside the EU. They were also seperate. Is it possible the DLC is linked to the wrong version of that?

I'm in the UK but there is only one version of Diablo III for PS4 that is available to buy and download on PSN (not counting the new one they just added with Necro built in).

Am I wrong or does all the hacked gear come from PS3/360 saves? I guess adding seasons solves the problem now but it seems like patching out cross gen save imports after a while would have done more good than bad.

I wish I could help. :( I know I had a DLC issue on the PS3 with Dante's Inferno. I bought the disc off amazon, then tried to buy the DLC. Turns out the disc was from a different version in Europe and the DLC was looking for a UK game. It sounds so much like what you're experiencing that I thought it would be the answer.

Necromancer continues to be a humourless person though, and doesn't even seem to be acting as the straight man in a conversation. Just quick "mmhmm" for most of it.

Yes, as far as I know, all the hacked crap came from imported saves from oldgen.

Yeah, that's why in the OP i strongly suggest against playing GRifts with pubbies. In a normal game playing with a cheater is sucky but they won't actively ruin your game...in a GRIft they can start queueing up for ridiculously high rifts or fast clear it so quickly you start levelling up out of control. This is now somewhat mitigated by the fact that you can only run GRifts you've earned access to, but in the old days it was uncommon to run a GRrift trial and get thrown into a level 100 GRift and have some guys with a 3 gem Professional Russian Sword nuke the whole thing in 2 minutes and get you like 500 Paragon levels in a single game.

So far so good. Pet management just activates their ability so as long as you're pointing vaguely at the enemy they will aggro that ability on the enemy then just continue their regular attacks automatically. Honestly the only weird thing for me so far is making sure I'm consuming enough corpses while flying through my other button presses.

Necro is cool and good. I decided to play the story again and see the new necro dialogue. Got annoyed with how slow it was going so after the skeleton king I dumped in my paragons and gems. Oh and my dlc didn't work at first either. I bought and downloaded it but the game had him greyed out. Had to do a ps4 reboot before the game saw the content.

Man, I love the idea of these Challenge Rifts. I hope we get to select from a variety of players soon - just let us go nuts and earn as many rewards in a week as there are players to use.

Actually being able to play as these poo poo kicking builds that do 900 million damage a hit makes me want to get to that point more than reading about them on Icy Veins.

I played the Necro a bit on the PC version and it was a ton of fun. Then I played it on console and totally forgot about the camera being more naturally zoomed in on the console versions so corpse explosions look even more explosiony.

Console Necro rules extra hard.

I decided to use the Necro in hardcore and it's pretty fun. Launching a flesh golem into a mob and then corpse lancing everybody is really satisfying.

Just picked this up because I couldn't resist the nostalgia of playing my favorite D2 class. I played on PC a long time ago, so the switch to console is a little odd, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Also, is there an ETA on the next season starting? I see on the main menu that one ended recently, but I can't remember how much time there is inbetween.

I haven't played diablo 3 since right before the patch they introduced legendary gems in. Does anyone have a link to or wouldn't mind providing a quick checklist of things I should be doing at the start of a season?

I bough the eternal collection for my Xbone (originally played on pc), so I'm starting completely from scratch. Banging out the campaign on a necro right now and enjoying the nostalgia, but want to get serious once the new season starts in July. Will only play adventure mode. Anything I should collect or do while I level to 70 that'll be useful end game?

This game is nothing like I remember it with the cube and primal ancient stuff and all that . Wondering how to catch up on what's important to get done and in what order at the start of any new season.

Thanks!

What skills are you guys enjoying so far?

Icy Veins has a few preliminary builds posted so be sure to check those out.

I had a buddy P-Level me to 70 real quick last night so I'm just sitting in T1 farming gear to get a few of those builds set up.

Weapon animations in Diablo 3 are mostly just cosmetic as most classes don't even attack with their weapon to cast spells. Their stats and damage are of course very important however as all of your abilities scale off base weapon damage, regardless of whether or not the weapon is "hitting" the monster.

Gah, waiting until the 20th for the new season is gonna be rough. I guess it will give me some time to figure out what skills I like and stuff.

Is there a pretty active goon community on PS4? I dunno if they have the same guild system or whatever as on PC, but I'd definitely have more fun playing with goons than doing grifts with randos that may or may not be able to work together.

1) it's a poo poo load of content for 40
2) D3 plays very well on a console
3) the price will likely go back to 60 after the summer sale ends
