PC here as well. D2 on a controller doesn't sound very appealing.External Organs posted:The endgame of D2 is completely terrible. I'd be interested if they did a serious content patch but I doubt it. If there's a demo I'll try it. Xbox most likely. Yeah. I pre-ordered D2R cause the graphics are awesome and I want to go through the campaign with all of the classes again, but I have no intention of playing the game past that.

WarMECH posted:Seems like Ethereals are Blizzard's way of testing their plan for Legendaries in D4: rare, powerful items that have extra stats and random skills/abilities that prompt the player to create a build around them instead of collecting the flavor of the month Set items like current D3. Yeah I'm very happy D4 is going with this kind of itemization instead of Sets. D4 is going to have both Legendaries and Uniques. Should be fun.

That makes no sense. Do you think this has never been tried in other ARPGs or something? lol. Early D3 was a mess because the people in charge had no clue what they were doing. Not because this kind of itemization "does not work".

One thing I like about D3 is how the game is about finding everything yourself. I hope they keep that for D4 and don't make it harder to find stuff just to push trading/auction house.

I've never really reached the "end game" in D2 of top tier runewords and whatnot, but I had more fun with those 2 acts of the D2R beta than pretty much anything D3 has done in the last 9 years. D2R reminded me of why I loved that game so much back in the day. The character progression and the campaign are extremely satisfying. D3 is just insanely boring and often feels like you're playing a mindless arcadey shooter. I'm (was?) looking forward to D4 in the hopes that it has some of that D2 sense of RPG progression and great campaign. But with the project losing its top two people I don't have much faith in it atm. I feel like D3 tried to do what Marvel Heroes did, but failed at it on every level. Marvel Heroes was an arcadey ARPG with the most fun characters/skills in the genre. D3 tried to attempt the same but all of the classes in that game are generic as hell and so is the itemization. That's why it fell so flat.

Honestly it's kind of insane that activision had an internal release date of 2022 for D4. While I love what I'm seeing from the game, it's clear that diablo 4 isn't even remotely far along in development for a 2022 release. They still have a ton of work to do. The new paragon system looks like it was conjured up about a week ago.

External Organs posted:Looks like a poe skill tree that opens up at level 50 tbh (this is rad in my opinion) The paragon board looks like an extension of the base class skill tree. Actually, the appearance of stat threshold effects in this paragon system makes me wonder if they've moved those from the class skill tree over to the paragon board. This poo poo reminds me of the FF12 license board, but it's been so long since I played that game that I don't remember if it was any good. I also didn't play PoE enough to ever delve into its skill tree system. this is from the class skill tree  and this is from paragon board  RealityWarCriminal posted:Do not give blizzard games your money. not even two years from now.

Wheeee posted:diablo 3 was also basically a reboot of the games it came so long after diablo 2, and had to be developed from scratch It's funny because one of the very first things they said about D4 upon reveal was "It's not coming soon. Not even Blizzard soon". I guess Bobby said hell no and told them to have this poo poo ready by next year. Actually they might have axed one of the classes:  Orc Priest fucked around with this message at 09:05 on Jun 12, 2022 |

https://twitter.com/Diablo/status/1536787541478842378 This game looks like doggy dogshit in outworld areas. The player character is just one big shadow (and monsters too for that matter). This is what happens when you listen to boomer neckbeards.

Chalks posted:It really doesn't look great in footage like this. Shadows fighting in the land of grey mud. Hopefully higher level armours, enemies and attacks are more interesting...? From what I've seen the game looks much, much better when playing inside dungeons since they are well lit. But I'm guessing you'll be spending a ton of time outside (where it looks horrible) because this game has an open world and you better believe they are going to make use of it

I think the dungeon gameplay looks great. If the open world stuff distracts from that it will be very bad.

Big Mouth Billy Basshole posted:I'm a little apprehensive having to do quests to get a key for a rift and then have to travel to specific dungeons. Seems like it's adding busywork to the D3 system of running rifts. Exactly... this is what I mean by the open world stuffing getting in the way of the dungeons. If I have to waste a bunch of time running around on my mount just to get a key for a nightmare dungeon, that is going to get old very quick.

bio347 posted:But do they do that? The only colours that REALLY pop are blood reds. The small bits of sorc spells in that dev video look just as sad and desaturated as the rest of the game. You can actually see poo poo in D2R because the devs made a remake that is faithful to the real D2, and not the D2 in the imaginations of certain players. Let's hope Vicarious Visions is given the reigns to make their own Diablo game after the success of D2R.

One thing this game was supposed to be doing that looked really interesting was the rune system. Runes words were composed of an effect rune and an activation rune. You could mix and match to make your own runeword effect. This had a massive amount of potential and I thought it was going to be the core tenet of itemization. Unfortunately they haven't said a word about runes in years so it's anybody's guess whether they are still in the game or if they've been scrapped.

Speaking of Crusader, if the class comes back in Diablo 4 I hope they completely rework it. D3 crusader was boring as hell. I didn't play Lost Ark for long but their Paladin was super fun.

I don't like PoE because the endgame is all about blowing up screens full of monsters in 0.1 secs while moving at mach speed. Now that's not bad on its own, but ALL builds in the game play like that at endgame. This is why I always end up coming back to Diablo.

I was watching some D4 development footage from the blog updates and one thing I noticed is that the dungeons are very well lit and the game looks great in those clips. It makes me wonder if they deliberately mess with the colors in the official trailers just to shut the D2 grognards up?  You can see for yourself here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKKdmW8zBTY

Idk how anyone ever looked at D2 and thought oh yeah this is real horror i'm spooked. I remember young me laughing at the bright red goblins screaming RAKANISHU and the big dumb yetis with giant shoulders. And that's before even getting into the fact that it's a game where you do extremely gamey things; hunt for items with higher numbers so you can blow up monsters and other players faster/harder.

One of the things Immortal does right is damage numbers. They are in the hundreds/thousands range. Very readable and feels great. But I'm no game dev so I have no clue how hard it would be to keep the numbers at a reasonable level in a live service game like D4. Every season is going to increase the power levels so...

When you have to start slapping letters at the end of your damage numbers you know you hosed up, right?
