Is it? 200h of work in 3 weeks is pretty standard for a huge chunk of Americans, but nobody bats an eye. Binging a game really hard for a week and then dropping playing down significantly over the next few weeks is deranged. Lol.

Get over yourself.

Also able to download on PC through Gamepass. Is pretty seamless compared to the nightmare of getting the EA app to work through Gamepass.
1) Search for Diablo in the Gamepass app. Click on it and it will tell you it needs to install battle.net, and this will happen even if battle.net is already open. Just let it 'install'.
2) Battle.net will want to associate to both a Gamepass account(which will be filled in if you followed step 1) and a battle.net account. Create or login to a battle.net account. Read the notice that says when you link these accounts, they are linked for the next year.
3) The accounts are linked and it will sign into battle.net. Go to Diablo 4 and start downloading.
Edit 1: (Note that I haven't finished downloading the game yet so I'm not certain D4 will start right now, will let you know in a few minutes when the download finishes)
Edit 2: Works fine. Logged in and watching cutscenes now.

Been playing the last few days and I haven't seen any lag. Game is pretty decent, and worth playing for the Gamepass price at least.

Do Lilith statues carry over to the next season? I tried googling it but google sucks now and it was unclear.

mac deserves to be abandoned by gaming companies for making it's a convoluted mess just for like .3% of sales.

Doesn't help that they have 3 completely different CPU architectures in the past 2 decades.

I don't see why we need loot drops at all. Final Fantasy Tactics had like 30 classes and you just buy your loot from the store. Maybe just have each uber boss drop a single piece of loot and everything else drops gold.

This is one of those posts where I can't tell if this is very dry humor or just dumb.

adding more ornate borders between item types for color blind people would be cool too

It has been a few years since I played POE but I remember it having the ability to do this and I thought it was super cool. Also in D4 complaints, loot text fades WAY too quickly.

What does the a mean then??

It's 'a rpg', meaning there is no difference between Diablo and FF7. I am very smart.

lol at people complaining that after a massive revamp of loot, that there isn't a seasonal mechanic. These are changes people have wanted since launch, and all some of you can do is whine.

Sounds like they invested their time making the base loot good instead of some goofy mechanic. If you can't live without seasonal content, come back in 3 months when they will have the loot changes and new seasonal content. There are other video games.

I was thinking about the "Screw seasonal mechanics, just fix the game." take. And sure, if I have to pick between seasonal mechanics and fixing the game, I'll pick fixing the game. I think my problem is that I don't think they're fixing much with the announced changes.

At its core, the game's itemization still revolves around finding a good base item > slapping on an aspect > upgrading it. The codex of power change where it saves your highest rolled aspect is good, but the rest of it feels so underwhelming to me

The main itemization changes are:

- fewer items drop overall

- removed some useless affixes

- only sacred in WT3 and only ancestral in WT4

- reduced the number of affixes that items drop with

- added greater affixes, which are really just affixes with a 1.5x modifier

- added the tempering system which is just crafting affixes onto your item, which means instead of hoping for an item to drop with all 4 affixes you want, you find one with 2 affixes you want and then craft on the rest

Am I missing anything?

To me, the game is still missing the dopamine rush moments where something really exciting drops. I don't feel like that will change for me with this patch. It's still going to be, "Time to sort through a pile of poo poo and hunt for the base that I can craft into a good item."

Maybe it will be more fun in practice, but that's how I'm feeling about it right now. I'm on the fence about playing season 4.

Maybe you don't like Diablo 4, and should play another game.

Mean while Diablo Immortal is still getting new classes added and the newest one about to drop looks really cool lol.

Diablo Immortal probably makes way more money than Diablo 4.
