It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
Are other people not getting insane lag right now on PC? Takes a few seconds before an NPC conversation loads when I click on them, my character keeps teleporting everywhere, etc. -- it's pretty unplayable but I'm confused because it doesn't seem to be the norm

I'm level 45 already because I watched 30 hours of kripparian optimal levelling route videos and downloaded the mobacrafters build overlay to most optimally pick my skills for me within 1% of optimal power. So far nothing has been on screen for more than half a second (thanks CraftafarianYT for the tip about world tier. World tier 2 is a total noob trap) and I'm craving for "end game" so completely and soulfully I can feel myself weep as I meticulously route to every Lilith statue on the path being done with the 'campaign'

you need to pre-order the deluxe or ultimate edition. the standard edition has no early access

i....see

I mean admittedly I didn't follow the news of this game religiously or anything, but I did follow it, and I'm usually pretty good at finding out info like this, but I didn't hear that you had to buy the more expensive edition for early access anywhere, and even now I go onto the bnet launcher and click the "pre order to play now" and it takes me to the 3 editions with their checks in their boxes telling you what each edition gives you and it doesn't say anything about early access, even my friend who's like a no life super nerd was surprised when I told him just now.

edit: nevermind it says it right at the drat top wtc how did I somehow miss this whole thing

Watching SkillUp's review and I'm so depressed. His review took care of my concern about the GaS crap by talking about the massive amount of content in the campaign but his description of the super-aggressive level scaling has managed to kill all my interest. A key element in this kind of game, for me at least, is that stair step of progression; fighting your way up against largely matched bad guys until you level up or find that awesome item that, for a short time at least, makes you feel truly powerful and able to beat the poo poo out of the game until you once again plateau and have start working again. If the game is all plateau, nope.

they should let you skip the story because noone wants to read whatever the diablo writers wrote. then you can do the fun part of the game

I hear you, I'm not trying to say that the game is objectively bad if it doesn't play the way I want it to play, but I'm saying that part of what makes this type of game fun for me is that progression, that sense of truly feeling like you're getting more powerful in fits and bursts. If that's gone...

After you get through the act I content, the cracks start to show in the story. So many of these cutscenes are glitchy, and a lot of corners were cut.

Haven't been following D4 at all. Not sure if I'm liking it much. I'll keep playing and beat it, but..

It feels like a mobile game. The UI is janky. Especially the inventory. The Tetris inventory was iconic, and gave you that dopamine rush when you fit things just perfectly.

Why is everything identified. Again, that was a huge dopamine rush to unveil things. It's a silly thing, but it's real. Finding loot feels so blah now, which was the whole point of the Diablo games.

It's way too zoomed in. If anything makes me stop playing, it's this. I need to zoom out another 50%. Ranged combat is super annoying so zoomed in.

The map overlay doesn't let you see through it and play at the same time. What. the. gently caress.

Skill trees. Not a fan of the progression.

Maybe I'll change my opinion, but kinda disappointed right off the bat.

I do like the world events with other players.
