I played vanilla D3 on pc on release. It never grabbed me like D2; quit after a month or so. Now I have this on PS4, and it is very different after the updates.

I know I could google all these questions but:

I got through Act4 w/ a monk last night. Is the preferred method of leveling to 60 just to put a big ruby in a helm and run through the story? Same for additional characters? Because I don't know if I can listen to any of that dialogue again. I did it on Hard so it was pretty easy but still a time sink I will never get back.

You'll only need to do story once, because once you beat it,you open Adventure Mode which is the real Diablo 3 experience.

I play extremely couch-casual. Not interested in DPS spreadsheets. Still, is there a go-to build-guide site somewhere that doesn't rely on you finding that 1:1billion rare drop? Mostly I am just trying to determine if there are any uses for 3/4 of these skills that look useless to me.


Play however its most fun to you. Builds and minmaxing literally don't matter until you hit the upper echelon of difficulty levels.

Is there a way to stack movement speed? Running speed seems molasses slow. During Act4 there were some blessing posts that increased speed to what I'd hope for as "normal."

Most classes have a passive skill that bumps movement speed to some extent.

Are enchantments and smith purchases the new "gambling" ? I've been spending my money upgrading gems, is there another purpose?

In adventure mode there are blood shards for gambling. Use gold to upgrade the vendors and gems.

Any death penalties for softcore? I haven't died yet, but noticed I couldn't put money in my stash, which is what I recall was the only real issue w/ dying on PC way back when.


10% damage to equipped items.

Are there special events around holidays, anniversaries, etc? That's the kind of thing that will actually hold my interest. I see the posts above about ladder seasons coming to console.

Occasionally they do exp bonus or legendary droprate buffs on long weekends, but that's about it.

I'd love to play with you folks but I am prone to putting down the controller and wandering off for an hour. I need games with hard pauses. Still if you've got junk you are trying to unload to a newbie, I'm not proud (PSN ElasticRebound).

My coworker just got the game and wants me to power level him tomorrow night so I'll be on lots. PSN SpaceLeftEmpty I play a fair amount.

Is anyone sitting on extra ancient versions of the Compass Rose and Wailing Host they wouldn't mind parting with? I've been trying to get up to grift 70 solo with my hobo build. PSN is SpaceLeftEmpty.
