yeah so i went back started SSF ended up going with merc but yeah playing this way is nice i see people in chat freaking out about the game economy changing with update and iim just vibing and stoked i killed the devourer in one try and got some new items. really digging this game big time so far its weighty and slow reminds me of exanima a bit feels like im playing a 1 player story rpg just with people to chat with on the side where as d4 i couldnt tell you what the story is about i just get a lot of gold and blow up screens of enemies
not worried about checking dtrade not feeling like i need to grind to a thing just playign a game with fun combat
Exactly, that's the way the game is meant to be play for first timers
And you're correct, no guide is needed if you have at least some common game sense, it's a pretty simply game.
There's only a few endgame item/skill interactions that's not obvious to everyone, but if you're a gamer by heart you'll figure those out for sure.
People who blindly follows a guide just cripples their own learning curve and will always, always be behind the ones who invest time to learn instead of copying others.
It's not like the people who writes the build guides gave access to some secret information not available to the public, they just gamers.
Good luck on your journey my G
