They both dead.

They are in the abyss, and not truly dead as they are immortal spirits and cannot be truly killed.

Angels basically get turned into paste and used to remake new angels.

Demons eventually reform in Hell.

It's not clear what happens to Diablo/everyone who all had their souls merged together into the Prime Evil and died (but, let's be real, there's no way they are dead for good and Diablo at least is making his way back).

No they have expounded on this in the lore books and basically they have an immortal �essence� that can only be contained but never permanently or destroyed. Blizzard has also confirmed that the �essence� of everything that was in the black soul stone has been freed.

After you get through the act I content, the cracks start to show in the story. So many of these cutscenes are glitchy, and a lot of corners were cut.

I'm less annoyed by the story than I am by the glitchy cutscenes. Are you in a party? Wonder if it's better single player.

Here I was thinking I was almost done minus the side content that needs to be done. The story really goes no where though and everyone is very stupid. I am looking forward to never have to touch that part ever again.

It seems slightly worse than D2 and slightly better than D3, so we're about right where we expected it to be.

Zephro posted:

A couple of the reviews have mentioned that the game feels a bit over-designed, by which I think they mean very slick and streamlined, but to the point where it starts to lose some personality or sense of achievement. Is that a criticism any of you early-access guys would agree with? I'm still undecided on whether to buy the game.

The real take of this is "it's not Diablo 2."

It's not, it's a different game, it's fun and if you like Diablo games or ARPGs you will likely get your money's worth.

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.

It does, especially if you're following the campaign.

Level 29 and into Act VI.

I don't know who's all gotten far into the other zones but some of the areas and graphics are absolutely stunning for an aRPG.

In a lot of cutscenes a small crow shows up and watches what's happening?

IIRC Diablo's human form is a goat, and Baal's is a crow.

Well, there's a quite large crow that is a representation of something else entirely that makes a spectacular appearance around the act 4-5 transition.

Also, the Prava In Hell cinematic that was used for trailers? The whole thing is Diablo Four times longer and I had to take a break after it.

Yeah that cinematic is beyond phenomenal. I had to as well.

Crafting potions is dumb and annoying. Upgrading herbs into other herbs is stupid.

Elixirs though. :discourse:

I rarely ever used my mount to be honest. Quest points are not that far away from each other, and you're always wanting to fight stuff, it just didn't feel worth while.

Also D2 and D3, which had the same number of skills you could have active at once even before there were console versions. Really, D1 is the outlier.

What do you mean by this? D1 and D2 could only have 2 "active" skills at the same time. (You could cheat this in D2 by setting hotkeys and having a mouse with a scroll wheel).

Making sure I avoid spoilers -

I just want to say that the in-game extended cinematic that served as the release date trailer is the coolest video game cinematic I�ve ever seen.

It just kept getting more awesome.

This, so much this.

Also, when do we get clan halls? Expansion 1 or 2?

Blizzard: the campaign is 50 hours and most players should be level 40-50 by the time they finish it

Chadstryl: level 32 and 18 hours in

In a singleplayer game lol.

It�s pretty obvious the design to have people play in groups. You get better xp and drops in a group.

Seems silly that you have to essentially beat the game to get a mount. Don't care that much but I find it a bit odd.

End of act 3 is no where near the end of the game especially if you aren�t bulldozing campaign quests.

Seems kinda weird to hold an official race to 100 then nerf everyone who's participating after 2 days. If you consider going fast to be bad then maybe a race isn't the way to go.

Feel sorry for anyone who decided to try for that and has to totally change their build. Is there even an alternative barb build?

Alternatively, nerf people now to avoid everyone who didn�t preorder crying.

queeb posted:

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

Not AFAIK. Blizzard wants everything to be builder / spender.

I miss health and mana for everyone and mana potions the most.
