Already did that anyways. No time for that.
Will check that out when the full game is out.

I heard this one to often: its only a Beta, Its only released, its only released for a year. The release is only 3 months away.
So the "Inarius killed Rathma" bit is probably a swerve, right? When you see the visions of Rathma/Inarius on your way through The Black Lake, Inarius confronted Rathma for the hell key, and Rathma explains he saw visions of himself dead and the key being taken from his body. Fast forward, Lillith finds Rathma dead and takes the key from his body, and everyone is like "wow yeah can't believe Inarius would kill Rathma like that".
...but if Inarius really killed Rathma and really wanted the hell key, why would it still be on his corpse for Lillith to find and take later?
Also, I'm on team "Bloodied Wolf is Diablo", so far.

I don't really care about what you've heard before, i'm just trying to provide some context. We'll know what's up in 3 months anyway.
At this point I might suggest waiting until Friday when its free for everyone to try for that weekend.
You don't need the most expensive. Any pre-order will get you in the early access
Don't take my word for gospel as I haven't upgraded too much, but I will say I am definitely hurting for money much more than mats so far. Gold for upgrading, removing aspects and jewelry, setting new jewelry, making elixirs, etc. There's quite a few gold drains and it feels like I never have enough gold. On level 25, rare items give around 1k gold so you get gold relatively fast, but I have definitely started to sell items more to get some necessary cash.
Thanks. If I buy directly on the Xbox store, I don't need to redeem any code, right?
No, I did it on PS5 but I'm sure it's similar. Pre-order the game and then download and open the beta
Yeah was coming here to post this. Not only do you lose your progress, but I'm surprisingly interested in the story and World bits. I'll play around with Necro next week, but now that I'm sold on the game all progressing further does is step on the launch experience.
They're all fun IMO, and the whole game has been built with controller support from the ground up. Sorc feels significantly the most powerful of the three classes available at the moment, and Barb the weakest.
What's up with not being able to use the Occultist? I was able to use it on my first character as soon as I got the codex, and yet on my second, I can't use it until I'm level 25 apparently. It says that I either need to get the codex, or be level 25...yet I started with the codex.
Guess I can always just use the first character to reroll suff, and apply aspects, but it still seems like a bug.
Seemed like less than the first time. The strange thing is that the second group had more level 25s than the first, and we killed it the first time with two or three minutes to spare. I actually think the second group failed because people were trying to be "helpful" and revive each time someone died. And people died a lot. Thing is, you're literally a 4s run back to the boss after you respawn, and it takes a few seconds to revive someone. Lots of lost uptime on the boss.

+1 dodge charge can roll on rare boots, which goes a long way to make my barbarian viable versus bosses. Not super rare to get from my experience, best of luck.
Lvl 25, hardcore. Probably not going to play any more. I don't feel like doing side quests and walking all over the place. Dungeons aren't really worth doing at this point. I didn't even do half of them and I can think of a reason to continue on at this point.
Not sure if I'm going to keep my preorder. I dunno. Seems bland from a social standpoint. I probably fought along side someone maybe three times. Never more than one person during those short spells.
Items are lackluster. Legendary drops didn't seem to mean anything of too much importance.
Mana using spells. Ugh. I can cast something two, maybe three times, then spam my basic attack while waiting for the mana to fill back up. Cooldowns are dumb
Anyways...

Damn, Sorc levels fast, is OP and fun to play.
Couldn't beat Den Mother with my Rogue but absolutely crushed her within a minute with the Sorc. Den Mother couldn't even spawn her adds...
Anyone know if there will be some type of adventure mode like in D3, where you can ignore the campaign and just lvl up your characters?
Probably down the line. I think they want us to play through the story early on. Or maybe after you've gotten through the story once?? I have no idea and devs may have talked about this.
yep. already confirmed. they said after beating story mode the first time you can skip the campaign
If I recall correctly, adventure mode came with the expansion, so maybe when the eventual D4 expansion comes out
if they ever add it it sure wont be at launch
theyre not going to put effort on the story for players to just hit the randomize button
I wonder if barb is undertuned or if sorc and rogue are overtuned?
Why lol
So far:
1. Graphics are great. Enabling DLSS shows no noticeable (to me) loss of IQ which enables 3440x1440 140+ FPS for me. Wonderful.
2. Sound is pretty good, although the music is average at best.
3. Dungeons could be a tad shorter. Are they not random? Seems like I get the same layout in so many of them.
4. Getting exhausted with loot as there's way too many legendaries thrown at me. Hopefully just a beta thing.
5. Love the world/dungeon design. Feels so much more like Diablo again.
6. Constantly hitting a queue even in the Sunday morning to log on is hopefully a beta thing.

I have to wonder if these servers are regional or what. I've had such good luck with minimal queues (less than one minute 90% of log ins) and have only disconnected once my entire weekend. I'm deep southeast US so it would make sense in my head that I've had better luck because I'm not dealing with the same amount of people regionally.
I've asked a bunch but no one has replied, which might be because we don't really know how they've set these servers up. I've seen people mention shards and wonder if it could be luck of the draw there as well.
Well it looks like this will be a much easier choice between the PS4 Pro version and the Series S version than the RE4 Remake turned out to be.
Series S is double the framerate, with better shadows, and much faster load times all at a similar level of image and texture quality as the Pro.

It has to be, because since yesterday morning in EU, i had no queue at all on PC.
Yeah. I wonder if the devs have talked about it cause I would love to know. I'm loving it now since I've had unlimited access to hop in and out at a moment's notice this weekend, but will probably miss it a lot when I move to Portland this summer lol.
