I wrapped up the D3 season in about 2 weeks playing chicken doc. Going back to D4's pace is going to be so painful.

I'm confused by that post, it's partially fixed in 1.2 but will be fully fixed in s2? Aren't they the same

gonna laugh if the fix is that you can no longer trick it by respeccing on a horse, but the core functionality of actually having progressive skill visual effects remains busted

s2 starts with patch 1.2.0 but will run for 3 months and probably have multiple patches throughout. i�m assuming it�s just them being cautious and not saying what subsequent patch will be the specific one to fix it

knowing other blizzard patch notes, this is what i natively expected and didn�t realize how dumb that is as a default assumption until i read this

Yeah they were already talking about 1.2.1 during the last stream. That's when we're getting the training dummies

I let my gamepass expire and I was curious to see how diablo works without Xbox live: you still see other players in town but I dont think you can interact with them. I don't think you see anyone else out in the world. You do still need an Internet connection.

Not sure what happens in world bosses lol, I should find out.

If they're not adding any new multiplayer matchmaking I'm not sure I don't see any reason to renew gamepass/live at the moment. Got a lot of poo poo to play. And dad groceries are fuckin expensive.

this is basically the normal multiplayer as well though

Grizzled Patriarch: Mar 27, 2014; These dentures won't stop me from tearing out jugulars in Thunderdome.

Yeah other than seeing other folks at World Bosses / Legion events, that's just D4 multiplayer in its current state. They desperately need to add some sort of matchmaking so there's an intuitive way to party up with other people trying to do the same content. Assuming that just got lost in the crunch, because it's such a weird feature to just completely forget about or deliberately omit.

Lol, yes. I don't think you can trade (I never traded), and I didn't mind running into dudes in events. It's just funny, it gives you a very mean message at the beginning about how it's meant to be played on Xbox live for the full experience :rolleyes:

I feel like it was an intended feature because when I (playing solo) use a nightmare sigil, it pops up a notification saying "[username] has started a nightmare dungeon at [location]" as if I'm in a group. Someone had to put time and effort into the graphics for that unique style of notification box that doesn't appear anywhere else.

It does seem to be an odd trend in a few modern games of devs just being like "no, find your own people on discord" and it's just weird to be back in the pre-gamespy era of no easy, casual matchmaking for easy casual activities.

I don't mind the player ghosts, that's neat. Go full Elden Ring with it, put down summoning poo poo or whatever. Just steal that! It'd be fine!

The multiplayer in this game is so ham-fisted I don't know why they bothered with the always-online mmo-lite aspect. It must cost loving loads to keep the servers running all the time like that. All you do with other players is observe them.

Mmo lite was probably a game parameter demanded by management

I legitimately loved baal and chaos runs with other players in Diablo 2 so I hope they figure it out someday.

Doomykins: Jun 28, 2008; Didn't you mean to ask about flowers?

Hopefully a better social is announced for 1.2.1 because the new end game loop sounds like you'll want to group up for it to share tokens. Sure you can probably solo everything if numbers high and good at game but having 4 people in a group and cycling 4 Duriel kills benefits all 4 people.

JamesOff: Dec 12, 2002; What a frightening beast!

welp I reached 100 with my seasonal Necro, completing the season in the process. My reward for the latter was three sacred pieces of jewelry :toot:

Still this is the most completed I've done a Diablo season so pleased with it, and I had fun watching number go up.

Just in time to go on holiday for two weeks, see you for season 2!

Like so many other decisions I just assume that at one point the game was way more MMO and got reined in, but the sweet lure of microtransaction dollar signs mandated seeing other players whenever possible. I can think of more rational reasons for not having matchmaking in the current environment but it's probably that.

There's a small part of me that's a little sad I won't complete season 1, but season 2 is going to be so much less of a slog. I'm actually looking forward to trying to do it this time

Weirdly enough this is the most active I've seen the player base since the first season started, people are looking for groups in trade and chatting almost non stop.

I can't believe we still don't have a Horadrim class. They even took Arcane off Wizard/Sorc this time around so hopefully the expac gives us a goofy fucker with all the magical lasers, relics, some staff-fu and a tendency to die tragically.

This is really the only major thing I have left in the season and short of completely rebuilding my character I'm not sure I'm supposed to kill her. There's so many one shot moves and I haven't even seen the mythical second phase yet.

They released a small teaser video on their Twitter to show some of the changes in season 2. I start to see why the game is like it is.

All dads get crazy obsessed with either smoking meats or WW2 history. Doesn't leave a whole lot of room for learning the specifics of how the buckets* work. Smoking demons though hell yeah.
