I had like a 4min queue right at 7pm yesterday, but it's been instant since and I haven't had any lag or anything. Genuinely might be the smoothest launch of any always-online game I've ever experienced.

Yeah, I think Tuesday will be the real test. But this is even smoother than the server slam was, so maybe they've figured out how to scale it. Even the first open beta was reasonably pretty solid by Saturday afternoon or so.

Had to run back, too. Thankfully it's the only bug I've run into.

I feel like if I can log in at 6pm est on a Friday with no issues Tuesday should be easy. Standard couldn't have sold that many more than DD+ult combined?

Amusing they "fixed" the evade through the level gated stronghole gate big by going "huh, ok you really want to do this 5 levels underleveled? the event is loaded in, motherfucker" as opposed to it having nothing spawned in during beta and slam.

Well I went from 1-27 last night on tier 2 and having a bit of a better experience dropping it down to tier 1. Especially since, tier 2 doesn't really seem to be worth it and I didn't realize you didn't need to beat things on tier 2 exclusively to unlock tier 3. ( I guess you just need to do the cap dungeon on tier 2? But you could play the game entirely on tier 1 and do that after. ) I only died once on tier 2 to a boss I didn't understand the mechanics of at first, so it's not like I was struggling or anything. But was beginning to feel like a slog. I'm not a huge min/maxer or anything, but if you are doing ranged on the Rogue it does feel like there are some skills that are kind of required compared to other options. Like you would be making a pretty big sacrifice not going down the vulnerability route.

I was hoping to wait until the Cyberpunk expansion came out to upgrade my PC but it looks like whenever the ray tracing update gets released will be what does it.

Hulk Krogan posted:Werewolf/companion build rips. There's ton of interactions between skills and it all combos rent nicely. Yeah, I got dumpstered pretty hard by the stronghold end boss a few times with the tornado build, but once I was able to kite him with all my companions up, it was pretty simple. I'd really like to keep Blood Howl even in endgame, I tend to approach RPGs with a more conservative playstyle and want some self-heal available if at all possible. With all companions (creeping vine, wolf, ravens), Blood Howl, and Cyclone Armor, my hotbar is now full... am I going to be able to fit an ultimate skill in? Are there alt-key toggles for the hotbar? Otherwise if I map Q and space-bar to my fancy MMO mouse, I'll be able to play the whole game without touching the keyboard! If you're ignoring popups and not following a guide, it seems like the class-specific spirit boon quests at level 15 might be easy to miss? I got one popup telling me to press shift+C and one notification in the quest log that didn't look super-different from anything else. If I wasn't reading a guide that said "go do this right now at level 15!" I might have put it off for longer. The collectables for the boons started dropping around that level tho.

Kind of a bummer but it’s not unprecedented for Diablo. I don’t mind the cooldown evade thingie, but I dream of being able to rebind that for another skill. Seriously doubt it’ll happen but I can dream. Don’t mind the evade, fwiw. Would just like the extra button.

Yeah I think you're limited to just the six skills, so you do have to give up an ultimate. Doesn't seem like much of an issue so far though.

I think I'm solidly into mid-game gear progression since the pickups have been mostly yellow for a while, and I still haven't left the beta area with my amalgamation of Warlock/Shaman/Vampire necro partly because I fear the fog of war, and because it still feels like I'm in Goldshire for the first time trying to knock off the side quests and POIs. Also this was dropped by a named minor boss Leet Jeff K. of Yosgrad:

a little over 24 hours after the launch of Diablo IV, I have completed the main storyline. Which isnt even that impressive, a lot of people finished it last night. Now the real grind begins.

Who is the least obnoxious person that produces video content for Diablo? Just don't want my ears destroyed and am looking for stuff to put on and listen to while I work. Looking for mechanics explanations and build guides, mostly. I prefer written but I don't have four eyeballs lol.

im level 42 on hardcore and just got mount. really wish I'd just done that straight away instead of doing so much side content in fractured peaks, nevertheless feeling good about not having died yet. I've got the flame shield on one of my spell enhancement slots as basically a permanent fixture and running a lightning build. game good downsides: i have some crashes that require a hard reboot recipe of death save elixir needs to be carried in inventory at all times or they drop constantly.

I'm following Raxxanterax right now, he's pretty concise which is what I'm looking for in a content creator.

Hit level 30 and decided to take a break. Pretty happy to run around doing the side missions and explore, still in Act 1. Managed to get four or five legendaries. They definitely did tweak things to make sure some drop spots weren't going to drop them anymore. Game is still running good, no issues here. Despite the fact it really gives you nothing I still enjoy smashing junk. Anyone remember in D3 people were so hard up for gold people were going into one place to smash pots to actually get some. It was the era of Blizzard wanting the cash stop to be where you got a lot of stuff. They nerfed the pottery smashing once enough people were doing it on the regular.

haha legendary drop rate seems ok for the most part, but I didn't see one drop until I was around level 33-35 which seemed inredible as my friends had found over 5 each by that point
