This is my conclusion of the current state of the game for people who didn't play it and asked my opinion. I leave it here.

I've had a lot of fun playing D:I for about 50 hours. I don't care about whales and their rankings. I don't care about p2w in f2p mobile game. All these "you need $110k or 10 years" posts are absurd.

I checked all ingame content without any paywall and I'm fully satisfied. But I can't accept this:



(suddenly, Diablo became MMO and it's very disappointing)

Some other things you should know:

- You can't trade items here with some minor exceptions. This game is bad for RMT.
- Endgame itemization system is very poor in all aspects. You won't spend hours and hours thinking about your build. It's not so deep as Summoners War or Titan Quest or some other popular games we can already play on mobile platforms.
- Game difficulty is linked to your level so you can't overlevel or even feel character progression and can't launch a bot to run dungeon bosses because they own you if your character doesn't dodge their attacks
- p2w affects gameplay. Well, if you expected any kind of fair competition in a f2p mobile game, I have a bad news for you.

# "pay to win" is actually "pay to lose" here. If you spend $100-$200, you don't get significant advantage. Even if you spend $10k, game still doesn't guarantee you can get what you want (hello Quin69). We all knew it's p2w game but usually p2w systems are much worse on iOS/Android.
# Combat system is a bit simpler than D3, rune effects were moved to legendary item affixes, etc. But it's still feel like D3 - the best ARPG combat system we have for now. I wish PoE had such gameplay.

+ PvP is very fun. I always thought true PvP should mean "Protoss vs Protoss" in terms of Blizzard games - and nothing else - but Diablo Immortal changed my mind.
+ The story is awesome. I'm not a big fan of Diablo lore, but it was a pleasure to see what happened between D2 and D3 plots.
+ The open world of Sanctuary is beautiful. It has high quality design as for mobile game. It has bright D3 graphics but it's dark from the inside (these quests.. George Martin would be proud). We had no such a good ARPG game since Grim Dawn release.

So even if you'd drop the game after 60+10 level, you still can get superior content and enjoy it. And it'd take longer than playing another average "AAA" game you've already bought.

I don't want to talk about monetization too much because old gamers still haven't noticed a fact that every game is p2w now. You can buy items / bots / hacks / services / anything everywhere and get a lot of advantages if you really want it.
And most people are ok with it, especially casual mobile gamers. That's why such monetization system exists. That's why such godlike games like Genshin Impact were born. The world has been changed and it doesn't care if you don't like it. Find the way to enjoy it.

All of these aspects that seem to be an issue really arent. Find some active players. That's where the warband and clan take in part. Soloing is still optional. The 2 players is not really an issue as even my warband 6 of my members are extremely active. Hell 2 dungeons will start needing 4 members, so have fun with that if 2 bothers you.
There seems to be some hidden aspects of the game I noticed. Like for example if you venture too far ahead from your team in an attempt to clear a dungeon further ahead, you seem to be penalized with reduced damage and what appears to be increased damage intake.
To combat the player requirement just take advantage of the party finder and create an applicant requested party. It will create a clickable dungeon request so similar players can join. Sometimes I look forward to seeing one pop up.
The warband 10k kills took me and 2 guys about 3 days to make. It really wasn't that difficult. Probably would have breezed through it if we called library but we did it early in release.
I'm almost 50 members deep into my clan also. Soon I have to start being picky and we still be creating a discord for our clan also soon. The game has really brought a fresh take on socialisation imo. It's actually nice. I want to find something to complain about I really can't.
Also, the whole idea you become godlike just because you're spending more money than the next guy is bogus. I've spent nothing on the game yet and I am capable of dominating a pvp game. The game revolves around a scaling model which keeps things very fair to me and in reality the difference between 1 tier on a legendary gem is so minor it really isn't giving you THAT much of an advantage. Right now people are just unhappy the game didnt move the way they wanted so it's you have a select few who are trying to paint this grand picture of evil. In reality, the only people bashing the game are the same people who don't even play it. Reminds me of the guys who are 120 pounds on the internet that are trying to tell a gym rat how to exercise. This is our new day and age. Unaffiliated people who are an expert in the field they have never seen touched or experienced. Bit ironic huh?

I spent 100$ And I completely destroy people in pvp
I was ranked 10th Demon hunter in my server before I deleted my character

Maybe im just very skilled, but im pretty sure its because i have 2x 5 star gems and better gear, that cannot be found if you dont pay

I deleted my character

Also, My whole team got one shotted by a dude named SSSSSS who spent something around 20-30K $
The game after, he was in my team, We were on defense (we camped the enemy base they were not even able to destroy the first 3 statues.

So yes if tou enjoy PVP, then the game is P2W, cause the advantage is massive and theres no Power Cap ….

In diablo 2, even if you pay to get gear, or a bot, at some point, you cannot go past lvl 99, and everybody who grinds for free will end up having that enigma, that Infinity… etc, because everything can be farmed for free, so you are just paying to save time, and im talking like maybe a few weeks of time

In Diablo immortal, you are Paying to get legendary gems from Legendary crests that will take YEARS for free players to get, because you can get around 3x per month for free.

That is the difference

Some of my biggest gripes are as follows:

Why are there time brackets for specific activities? I would get that if they barred people from playing in the dead of night to consolidate player activity, but having spurts of 2 hours of this and that with another 2 hour gap in between is stupid asf.

The cap of glowing embers in Elder Rifts. If you can't earn enough gems with a thousand dollars of IAPs, why are you barring us f2p players from earning it the legitimate way? 320 embers is nothing when you realize how much it takes to earn and farm this stuff. Runes are also only dropped with Crests, so unless you dump thousands of more dollars, it's not like you can consistently without them anyway. So stupid

Emphasis on organized parties and events vs random queue. I really hope random queue is good enough where, after I'm done with a day of work, I can just pop in a few dungeons. I get that this a party based game, but I think some emphasis on random queue is warranted due to the fact that many can't be glued to their phones on a fixed schedule. They have too many servers anyway, if they dropped it to like 4 per region, it would make more sense.

I do find it annoying that you have to be in a party to find set items as well. I should be able to farm those solo if I want to. Plus it's a pain to connect with people typing on your phone. I did play a bit on PC though.

Lol @ Quin69. Guy is a toxic loser. It would a mystery how dudes like that get so many views, if it weren't clear from this forum that these guys draw all the other toxic losers playing video games.

Have killed plenty People already and havent paid any

The party aspect of the game can use a LOT of improvements.

Let me guess, you're either a Demon Hunter or Charging Horse Paladin.
