I assume this gets better but I'm level 11 and I'm fading pretty hard. Not sure if there's any one thing doing it but it just feels like something I've experienced many times before and the thought of spending like 20+ hours in the story is making me not want to play.

If the stuff in an older area is lower level, I should be able to massacre it if I visit it later after I've become more powerful. That's common sense. I shouldn't be rewarded for it, obviously, but I should have no difficulty doing it. If the game doesn't want me to be able to do that, come up with a story reason for me to not be able to. Add shitloads more of the cannon fodder or a reason for something new to inhabit the area, don't make loving sewer rats all of a sudden become rear end-mauling monsters from hell. For that matter, don't give me a reason to need to go back and fight at all if it's not necessary.

D3 really only sucked rear end for the first 6 months or so. The story was never anything people complained about. It became not just good, but a pretty great game after a year or so when they started all the end game content. I still rate PoE higher, but it didn't suck rear end by any means.

I feel like D4 is in the same boat, it kinda sucks butt right now, but in a year it'll be awesome. Tweak the zoom, redo the inventory system, redo the skill trees. The UI is a total loving mess on a PC, it's all baked in for dumb mobile tablets or some poo poo right now.

d3 is dog poo poo, everything about 4 is better

It's really not. In PoE ranged characters are way further away compared to D4. I feel like half my goon squad is off the screen doing whatever the gently caress most of the time. Someone mentioned setting the aspect ratio to 21:9 but damned if the game will let me.

I keep dying on the broodguard spider boss in some level 10 dungeon as a sorc. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, following icy veins leveling guide. I see other posts about this boss saying it should be no big deal for sorc.

Am I supposed to be upgrading my gear? Diablo should not be this unfun. I’ve never hit a wall in a Diablo game at level loving 10.

Yeah yeah I know how hostile people can get if they see anything that may challenge their fun. That's not my goal and I'm not going to have the same argument about it. There are no wrong answers that answer the question, although I suppose my question was flawed. Why Diablo 4 over another game would probably be better a better question.

the answer is very simple. other people arent as miserable as you are

Legendaries kind of suck. They don't even have unique names, I just got one that's "protecting adventurer's pants." Like not even "Rathma's Studded Ball Protectors" or something, just the same <prefix> <item> <affex> pattern of yellows.

Legendaries just feel like fancier yellows.

Are there actual uniques etc. later in the game, or did they gently caress the goat on loot at launch here too?

they are just fancy yellows. have you not noticed theyre just imprinted and u can make yellows into them?? lmao

These bosses make me feel like a dumb baby. Just had a frustrating time with one of the early story bosses Vhenard as a barbarian. Every attack did a ton of damage and the boss turned into a bullet hell where I can dodge about as well as a drunken ox. Love to get stunned from offscreen and have every attack hit and kill me. Died a bunch of times and only pulled through because I went home and spent every gold and material I had upgrading my gear. Yeah, yeah, git gud or whatever and the game was bound to be tougher than the sleepwalk D3 was but this is another level. The aggressive level scaling makes me think the rest of the game might be like this. :(

i dont think its possible to die to that boss so really this is actually an acomplishment lol

that, sadly, is the same conclusion I came to as well. not because of difficulty but because there's so, so much ultimately unimportant poo poo that would take a long time to redo if you died.

I suspect that once they start seasons up they'll make progressing new chars a bit less grinding

Are there any classes that drop their basic skill and just run a core skill for damage and have decent resource generation? Blizzard leaning into builder/spender for every class with basic attacks feeling so trash is lame. And the Barbarian whirlwind changes kinda shows that's how they want things to be, no easy resource generation, you must hit your basic attacks a few times before your core skill

Is this actually decent? I love me some Minions. I do take issue with necro having 0 movement skills, that's kinda lame

im using corpse explosion w blood surge as a spender. i meant more that any necro build that uses corpses barely needs a basic ability if they do at all bcos you can get so much essence gain from corpses. presumably summoner focused builds do this too bcos raise skele absolutely counts
