I might actually revisit d4 this weekend. Been reading so much good things about it. Honestly I am surprised and I never thought I would be thinking about playing again EVER after season 1 being a complete fuck up. So yeah I’ve got limited time this weekend and next week, what’s an easy build to breeze through with, anyone?

yeah i wouldn't want to level up all those either!

i personally don't like the monster scaling as it always feels like i'm not feeling the effects of a great item upgrade. to combat this, i like to go to lord zir every now and then or maybe the same nm dungeon tier/pit level to see the difference. which feels good, but out in the open map = i don't like.

however, can't stop doing helltides right now with profane mindcage (+10 to their level). luckily d4 has some crazy good combat on the dust devil barb, it's got me hooked, lol

edit: another issue is their ui hiccups and lags when opening inventory/clicking on blacksmith or whatever. sometimes the inventory loads up just fine and no lag. transitions smoothly. other times, it'll freeze for a good 900ms. i'm on a SSD too, not sure if anyone else experiences that, but holy hell it's annoying


I dont know, I kinda like the scaling.

I mean, I know what you're saying and its all logical, but I actually feel the progress. I like that every inch of the map stays somewhat competitive (not really cause the over world is more if a campaign and first experience thing besides events). Its a preference thing.
But I like the scaling more than I thought I would.

does the barb still suck ass until you get all the aspects/legendary items needed for specific builds?

can unlock some of the aspects from dungeons (fury generating ones), but i just casually played and never really had an issue finding the correct aspects. the BIS uniques are not even build enabling either which is nice

i hear you, that's why i like the pit and nm dungeons. cause if i do get that juicy upgrade, i can just run the same dungeon at that tier. then i can feel the difference in damage and that's one of greatest feelings in an arpg for me. i guess it's not a big issue since i can do that.

y'all are frauds.. they had 12 years to produce a game with an insane budget, any praise will be ignored and rightfully so

This is the exact reason for many things going wrong in today's world, not just the video game industry

They produce absolute dog sh!t, give you a crumb, and you rejoice about it..

You know what I see?

It looks like peasants being handed a few silver shekels and they rejoice about their life under servitude because it's really not so bad anymore they can afford bread this week.. lmfao

Game still sucks, Modern Blizzard still sucks, enjoy supporting the company that created bs like subscription based online play, have fun with your microtransactions & ads..

Unreal, I thought you were people of your word, but hey is what it is, I'll stick by my words, & never be a slave, sad you can't say the same, don't even reply to me, your words are worth less than nothing

Agreed, but one thing that still really bugs me tho:

I HATE the smart loot. I would love to find for example a gg fractured winter glass with my barb and trade it away or something like that. I love to collect all the items without having to make 5 different characters and level them all up.
Also, it feels artificial to get all this loot especially for my character. It just feels so constructed.

Thats probably my BIGGEST problem with the game right now. I feel like now that we have trading, Blizzard should remove this asap!


Surprised to hear that from you, and good point. For some reason people constantly avoid smart loot theme as if it doesn't exist. But it actually defines the game.

i gave it another try after i heard about trading changes. i'm a lvl 99 dust devil barb plowing through helltides and nm dungeons!

my buddy bought some mats for us to farm bosses which was cool. he ran like 300 lord zir runs and couldn't get the winterglass ammy, so he just bought 1 for 10m igg. yet another reason why i love trading. i also found a BIS unique for his build and gave it to him, that felt good.

definitely a step in the right direction.

just wanted to add: using Charge with an explosion legendary aspect on 10+ mobs might be one of the most satisfying things i've encountered in an arpg outside of d2's lightning fury


I still think it is just the same game, changes are minor.

I think you are a bit too invested. I always say it like it is. Game was disappointing and shit and now it got better. Thats what happened and thats the praise I give it: Its better now, fun to play.
It is still no revolution, it still not what I hoped it would be, but its a good game now. In my opinion.
