Had a really fun time so far with friends but we encountered a ton of bugs lol

Only got to level 13 tho we'll continue tmrw

Played for about 4 hours solo. I like the atmosphere, and the plot of the story so far. As a single player experience it can really suck you in if you let it. All the side quest so far ain’t been anything special. I’m playing on a Druid, Werewolf build. I’m a sucker for werewolves I’m lvl 16 atm, so got my pet wolves too. If you’re gonna push a Druid definitely go the caster route for at least the first 12 levels. Melee currently is so under powered. The music in the game is awesome, complements the atmosphere well.

As for my general overall impression, as far as the story/single player stuff goes, it’s pretty good, story, plot, VA, music, too notch, gameplay is iight. Lost Ark has spoiled me in terms of isometric combat. This is like a high school project in that regard. Same as the “mmo” aspects of the game, it’s like Lost Ark-Lite. I appreciate that mobs n bosses don’t feel like paper-mâché like in D3, and I like that for the most part it combat is more engaging, you have to actually dodge things here and there. But again this pales in comparison to Lost Ark. it’s one of those things where you experienced something so good in the same format, it’s hard to not compare and see where it falls short

enjoyed the beta got lvl 13 last week gonna just wait til game drops

Should I buy the $100 version?

Lost Ark had the potential to be one of my favorite MMO's of all time if it wasn't for that Korean grind bullshit

Nothing will ever compare to my Gunlancer

Overall the game's pretty fun but:

1. They gotta fix the UI on PC. It's so obviously console-centric and awful. Also pls zoom out the camera more

2. The skill tree is boring, hoping it branches out more in the full game

Everything else seems pretty good for a beta

The beta so far has cemented my decision not to pre order. I will definitely buy & play the game at some point, just don’t plan on doing it on release day. Given everything else that is gonna come out around then, this has shifted to 4 on my list.

Also I really hate this always online thing for a primarily single player game. It’s so stupid. I accidentally turned off my tv, and my ps5 will automatically go into sleep mode when it sees my tv been powered off. I was making my way through the final area of a dungeon when this happened and it disconnected me upon rebooting

Game is fun but yes zoom out the camera and fix bugs and random FPS drops

Yea after about 9 hours total I think I’ve got everything Im gonna get out the beta. Only got the Druid to level 25, was gonna do Necromancer too but I don’t really have the drive for it. All the reviewers already saying it is good n over powered.

I’ll probably stick with Druid when the full game is out. Even though it’s kinda rough and underpowered until you can get legendaries

Ok building on my last post after getting 2 characters to 25

I'm very worried about character progression in this game. It seems like the skill trees are super bare-bones and boring and that the majority of anything remotely cool is going to be coming from items. Which feels awful, especially if you're playing a class like Druid that doesn't even feel like an actual class until you get legendary affixes

When D3 released it had the same issue of very bland character fantasy, but they basically put a band-aid on it in RoS through items just having the cool things you want to make a meaningful gameplay loop at endgame. Now it just seems like they're recreating the issue and throwing the same solution instead of learning their lesson.

I hope paragon boards help mitigate this but based on some datamined stuff I saw, I think this is gonna be a game people will play for maybe 2 weeks to a month and then drop it until the first expansion drops

I know you play a lot of ARPGs, have you played Last Epoch? If so how is it?

Yep, it's probably the game I'm most excited for in the genre as of rn. It's still in early access but it's pretty much in a finished state, only one more major update to go.

Highly recommend, really good balance between complexity and simple fun. Can easily make a build by yourself with no guide, but there's a lot of cool mechanics to tinker with.

@Kr0niic @Asaki D4 final boss revealed?

What are the chances of them incorporating some kind of trigger for skill slots? Always felt like 6 is way too limiting for these types of games. Like if you’re doing a pet/summon build, you’re already limited to just 3-4 active skills pretty much. If Hogwarts Legacy can find a way for us to comfortably play with 16 spells on the fly, makes no sense why you can’t in Diablo

To my understanding, there is some sort of skill slot toggle in D2, but they got rid of it in D3? At the very least we should get a dedicated slot for the ultimate skill, s*** is so stupid
Lack of ability space, pretty much locks you into a specialized build, that does 1 thing specifically.

Like just getting to level 20 in the beta, and you have to pick and choose which 2 skills will be your main dps skills, while everything else is more or less filler.

time to pump in 30 more hours 😝

In

Got my beta gear

How’s the game? I find it so difficult to gauge people’s reactions to because discussions seem so in depth and centered almost entirely around loot, as opposed to the quality of the game as a whole.

its hard because this my first diablo and they been in diablo sauce

got all beta cosmetics from last time and this server slam

got ashava 2/2

depends, have you played a Diablo game before? if not, you’ll probably like it if you like more casual ARPGs

if you have played a Diablo game before, then it heavily depends on if you like Diablo 2 or Diablo 3 more (because people still play both)

generally speaking, people who like D2 more don’t like D4 that much, people who like D3 more like D4 a lot

obviously, that’s not always the case, but that’s the usual trend

i like D4, but it’s not my idea Diablo game, as im more of a Diablo 2 person and wish they would have taken even more inspiration from it instead of 3
