I'm a 40 year old who went back to college, currently on summer break with both kids 10 years and older. I'm going to play d4 all night (all night being until midnight if I'm lucky because I'm an old with a bad heart who can't have caffeine.)

If you make a shortcut for Diablo4.exe and add the -launch option you can open the game

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
It's actually mind boggling to me to imagine what kind of different life I'd have had my dad played Diablo 2 back in the day. Go dad's go!

my son is choosing to wait so it wont distract from work and his bf :)

ARPG is seriously his maxo relaxo genre tho, which is cool, bc I didnt play violent video games around him until he started seeking them out himself. he had none of that Millennial "be me!!!" crap growing up.

he thinks D4 will be better than POE until POE copies whatever few good ideas D4 has.

Twisting Blades needs to be a Melee / Projectile / Duration skill that gives more damage the longer you embed it in the enemy.

They all seem pretty fine? Summon necro took the biggest nerfs from beta so bone spear variants might be better until it’s (maybe) tweaked back up.

Barb and Druid also start on the slower side but seem fine once investing in

Do NOT play the Burgermaster. Eldritch Buns are currently bugged and will crash your instance. His Sacred Sauce system is also really underwhelming even with the additional Horseradish points he gains with each flip.

I think she’s morally grey. Good and bad. Perhaps just a misunderstood demon who really really wants to help humanity but do it her less-than-wholesome way?

Not really, the upsell is pretty fair priced if you include the first season pass, the non-Tyrael-wings, the horse armor, and some other bundled cosmetics.

People keep saying this like a mantra (I understand wanting to set your expectations low) but after the first weekend test things worked pretty much fine in OB weekend 2 and the stress test.

You might be in a queue for a while right off the bat tonight but you'll be able to play this weekend.

Like the old-head wisdom is that every WoW launch is going to be a poo poo-show but I've been able to play just fine right at launch for the last like...4 expansions.

WoW expansions don't count because they update the game to expansion code literal weeks before launch and smooth things out before everything gets slammed. And usually the game is in a fucky state while that stuff gets patched up.

Overwatch 2 took about four days before it was playable. Most Blizzard launches take several days before they are playable. I have no reason to believe that this one will be any different.

I'd love to be able to play the game today, but I think a lot of people cancelling plans/etc for today are going to find themselves very frustrated.

I initially thought the servers would be fine since not everyone would be trying to log in at the same time, but after hearing about how many people bought the ultimate edition i now think there will be some queues tonight.

Even my brother and his friend who are super duper casuals both got the ultimate edition. People at work were also talking about buying the deluxe/ultimate.

Expecting a shitshow but if it ends up going smoothly then it will be a nice surprise.

It's gonna be how it's gonna be. Betas improved consistently from one to the next. Hopefully that means something.

If servers are bad at night then pull the ultimate old gamer move and use your old person powers to go to bed early and then wake up rear end early in the morning when the children have given up to go to sleep.

This is my superpower, I can't sleep past 5:30 a.m. anymore no matter what!

Barb is evergreen, iirc both the first hardcore diablo kill and the first max level D3 characters were barbs and barb+druid were reportedly the strongest in the endgame beta
