No, I don't want to play "Conversation Parade".
Since there are apparently reports of 2.4.3 going live on the bone I'm assuming ps4 will have it this afternoon. So a quick reminder, if you want the cool pets and frames (are those even on console?) you need to solo the Darkening of Tristram even on a new level 1 character.

Additionally, this Friday @ 7pm pacific I am organizing a Darkening of Tristram run followed by a bunch of rifts for the ps4 community. If anyone would like to join, the invite is on the Wolfman Salvage Co. Community page. If this works I might try and organize a bi-weekly/monthly rift event.

I will probably be down to do this/help out. Not a member of that community though.

I'm sad I lost a high end HC character but I always end up as WD because it's safe so it's kind of nice I lost one. I just can't find one of the sets I really like playing though I usually switch between those two and the spider one. Playing my monk with you guys was much more enjoyable. I still need to take care of some stuff in HC but haven't decided what I'm going to play.

Diablo 3 got a PS4 pro patch that added 4k support, is that actual 4k ?

I think it is, I don't have a pro but other games seem to get actual 4k, I'm assuming this wouldnt be any different.

Poking around a little bit, people seem to be saying it looks like it's downsampling that 4k for 1080p screens, which would be really cool! Gonna fire it up and see how it looks... Also see if I can easily figure out how to get into the Diablo 1 thing (I haven't read up on it at all).

Edit: So turns out the Diablo 1 thing is super easy to get into - just a portal in the Old Ruins in Act 1... Jumping back in after at least a year since playing this character, I have no clue what difficulty I should be playing this on (it was on Torment 3 which seemed too low based on running through the first few levels of the dungeon). It's a HC character, so don't want to set it too high and not realize it. I guess I can just step it up until things get uncomfortable.

You get a special pet for starting a lvl 1 char and going through.

This might be standard for cosmetics (these are first I've gotten in game) but the pet unlocks are shared between HC and SC. Didn't think to check the transmogs. Pets are cool but I don't like how they block icons in inventory.

Yeah ran thru on a level 1 barbarian, torment 2, with a gem of eased ashbringer and hellfire ring and gauntlets thing took maybe an hour to finish and I was 50 by th3 time I finished. Ive recently been playing Diablo 1 on my old playstation so it was especially fun to just breeze thru after how annoyingly hard that is.

Apparently they broke the game for people with large PSN friend lists. Unless they fix it quickly, I'll have to prune my list down to get the event played through in time.

A number of people in this thread have already gone through the Old Tristram experience (I did it at T13 with my helltooth witch doctor). Seasons have not been added yet.

Seasons aren't coming until at least summer if I read correctly. I honestly can't wait for that.

Ran the Old Tristram event with a fresh Crusader. Even on Normal I was Lv 34 when it was done. About an hour or so to do.

I did a quick smash and grab through the Tristram event and was honestly a bit disappointed. I guess I just hoped it would feel more like D1. Good on them for even bothering but it wasn't enough to keep things interesting for more than an hour or so

Let's go exploring!

I'm on grinding my way through the story mode so I can get arcade mode and do new tristram. Hop in if that interests you, PSN Draecas

Also is rolling or back-dashing actually faster than running? I can't decide if it is.

I don't want to come across like the 95% of people who comment in Diablo forums or reply on Blizzard's Facebook posts (seriously, among the worst loving fan base in terms of being spoiled bitches), but the problem I had was that the bosses weren't distinct enough for me to know they were there. I got a glimpse of the Butcher, but I swear I killed Diablo and the Skeleton King before I realized I was fighting them.

BTW, was there anything other than the dungeon itself? Like, are you supposed to do anything with the corpses of the old NPCs or were they just fan service?

Yeah, there's a rotten mushroom that drops from a clickable thing in the dungeon, bring the mushroom to the cauldron which drops a thing, you bring that thing to a specific dead body which drops another thing for someone else, etc. Eventually, you get a blacksmith plan for a vanity item, make it and salvage it, the item you get will tell you the order to click the dead cows, which opens an area, and there is a chest in there.

I picked this up for PS4 because the sale price was too good to pass up. From what I've been told, the game really "starts" at 70 when you can start doing bounties and rifts. Most of the googling I've done about leveling up quickly talks about Adventure Mode... Do I need to play through the whole story first?

If you need a carry just say the world, any one of us will be happy to kill the final boss for you and unlock adventure mode for you.

I only just started, do I have to work up to Act 5 or just accept and invite/join a game, get the final boss killed, and then have adventure mode?

Well crap. I got the mushroom but didn't do anything with it because I just wanted to finish the dungeon. When I went back to town, the corpses were gone.

im not sure if you really can farm them due to dropping from randomly spawned goblins. you can get the two new pets from the tristram event easily though.

I keep losing lvl 70 HC characters to being dumb and trying to push too soon. It seems drops are worse in HC. I don't remember running lvl 25 gr's in SC and not getting a single legendary.

Not on console, at least till seasons. One of the "big" features of the console version is the mail system where you can send loot to other players. I've helped friends farm up gear for their classes before.
