@@TravisStockton Can you name a few? I still find D3 fun for 2 weeks every 3rd season to blast and push the leaderboards. D4 is decent but not going to put too much time into making my char perfect if I can't record it on a leaderboard, if there was no seasons then of course i would go for perfect gearing. PoE was nice at the start but when you get a full time job its a bit more difficult to keep up with things. Last Epoch was decent but gets stale after awhile. ARPGs in general are just meant to give 2 - 3 weeks of fun. PoE being the exception if you have the time.

I haven't played it yet, but videos like these make me feel good about when I do return to D4. Something I don't see mentioned at all though, something I think needs a rework or just added to, is the skill trees. They just don't "feel good" IMO. I feel like your choices are so limited, and the system is as basic as it gets when compared to other ARPG's. I also feel like the graphical effects on each skill are toned down a lot, not only due to Blizz trying to make the game more "gritty"....but because they knew having huge effects would become problematic when you add multiple players on the screen at the same time due to the "mmo" aspect of the game. Maybe they will revisit the skill system in the future. Tired of seeing the same builds (or very similar) on top every season. That just shows that the selection of skills just isn't there yet.

Game is playable but gets boring rly fast at endgame.

This seems to confirm that we basically played D4 beta for the last year and that we are now in what should have been release status. That is annoying, but at least the game can now grow into something we actually want to play instead of a game that we just hoped we would like.

Nonsense. These games need data and feedback to build on. Obviously, it could have been better from the start, but to expect the game to release in the same state as it is after millions of players have broken the game and provided feedback, is just naive. Essentially, it wasn’t possible to release it in exactly the state it is now. Again, it could have had a better foundation, but every arpg is going to require some amount of response and adjustment to player activity and feedback over time, in order to mature.

I am currently level 98 with my Druid. This will soon be my first level 100 character ever, and I have played Diablo 2 and 3 as well. I will say, the journey of playing the campaign, leveling, unlocking skills and trying different builds until you finally settle on one is the fun part of the game. If you just rush through everything, you will get bored very fast, grinding is quite boring after playing for over an hour. So my advice to new players is, go at your own pace, try all builds as you level up so you can see all skills and experience everything before you finally end up grinding the end game, or making a new character.

Came across your channel recently and appreciate your videos. Side question-do you have any best build websites or anything like that that you run?

I had no idea about the urns to provide bonus exp, thank goodness i watched this video. Grinded to level 85 without any bonuses, feel like such a noob.

It was fine. I started this season since it's on Game Pass now. I played through the story, got to level 100, improved my build, did some Pits, it was going fine. Eventually I hit a wall on my gear to the point where I can only get a big improvement from Uber Uniques. With the mats I got through leveling I did all the Duriels and Andariels I could, only for not a single uber unique to drop so that I could get the last Spark to craft the one I wanted. Didn't feel like going out of my way for materials to summon more bosses so I'm done for the season. I'm pretty likely to come back for the next one to level something else and see how it goes. It's pretty fun until the hard wall is hit. My biggest complain is that stupid tempering ruining good items because the game feels like it. And I'm not talking rolling on tempers that have 5+ possibilites. I have gotten shafted on chest and head pieces with slots that only have 3 possibilites... Would it be too much to just have infinite tries? Either that or at least let people keep what they had like with affixes. That way at least we can keep rolling the last few chances for a higher roll.

Ayeee we both doing all 5 classes. Waiting on mother’s blessing to do my final class needed this season which is gonna be Druid.

As a new player that started specifically this season, it feels very good. I'm a dirty casual and getting slowly to the endgame. Bricking hurts but it does still make you go and farm more

For me its just tempering if masterworking can be reset and you can try to masterwork an item to make it how you want you 100% should be able to do the same with tempering. Gold would be another thing but that imo is not nearly as big of an issue compared to tempering.

Regarding tempering. I’d be ok if they made rerolling item infinite but it kept scaling in cost or if the % or quality of the temper’s ceiling started getting lower. To brick an item over a stat, that stat would have to be insane

I started as a Sorc with ball lightning build in mind but the gear requirements was top high and the damage output was too low, so after I reached level 100 and I was struggling with pit tier 61 I switched to minion necromancer and played it until I got my desired gear. I was able to do the pit to level 120 (I stopped pushing) and I also killed all the lvl 200 uber bosses in one shot(they will probably nerf the golem so hard). I had a great time, but I run out of content which is totally fine, I have many other games to try out. I'm waiting for season 4 to see what they are cooking this time.

It'll never come. Too many factors involved and Bliz is simply too lazy to come up with a way to implement it well. Guaranteed

Need more interesting modes, for example: two world bosses spawn (possibly faction system) each with their own armies. Two sides fight towards the center of zone for contol. Mixes world bosses pvp and event type gameplay. Grinding to maybe kill an uber gets stale without things like above

I feel that they do need to start adding new things to our characters. For the past year it feels like we have been doing the same builds but swapping around Aspects and Uniques. It would be a great addition if after a season we would somehow retain something to add to the character. Season 1 gave us Unique rings, Season 2 added the vampiric powers in aspects. Both do not give us the ability to actually expand on the character. I would imagine something in the line of a relic we keep from Season 3 where we make one of the robots powers our own. And maybe from season 2 we could pick a "Blood infusion" where we use a vampiric power (maybe tuned down a little) as a permenant buff. I was wondering what you think of that and if our character should see some more addition instead of changing aspects.

Tempering solution here!! The current number of attempts is 7 on a new item…Add 3 attempts per GREATER affix on an item. So your attempts would be 7-10-13-16 depending on the rarity. In addition you could charge obols at a rate of 750-1000-1250-1500 to reset it if you brick/sandbag the item while tempering. Now people have hope when that GG triple greater affix item drops they will eventually get it tempered the way they want, even if its not right then and there. This could also get more people involved in world events specifically legion invasions for those now very sought after obols

I feel very similar, DM. Since the games release I’ve never leveled a character to 100. Now, in season 4, I’ve already leveled a rogue to 100 and am currently on a Lv 80 barb with plans to level another character to 100 after I finish barb. Season 4 is the game I’ve been waiting for.

Re tempering, the issue isn't the system, the issue is tripple GA items being so scarce, then for that tripple GA drop to have the exact affixes you want is even rarer. And yet the fastest way to farm triple GA items is helltides.... They need to make it so in the pits and high nm dungeons, double and triple GA drops are more frequent, then it doesn't matter so much if you brick an item.

Agreed with your closing remark. I also will probably level each character to 100 (this was my first season to get any character maxed and have rogue and barb there already). It doesnt take too long tho to get about 90% min maxed, so it would be nice for another challenge after hitting pit 100, defeating lilith, and tormented bosses. I wish there was 1 or 2 more bosses like lilith to work towards... no real incentive to keep grinding once your already able to farm pit 100s and have all the ubers your character needs

I'm honestly confused how people are always broke in this game..... Go to Helltides LOOT Like a mad man, as you are there, put the items you want to keep at the bottom of your inventory for management during it, organize it so it's faster to manage at town. ONCE inventory is full, hurry port back to town, put the keep items in box / instant sell everything else FAST. Go back to the Helltide rinse and repeat. Once it is over, go to the box with the keep items to sort out the items to sell or keep after comparing them to what you already have. Salvage some for materials, sell the rest. I have so much gold I have no idea how to spend it all. AND my gear is perfect for end game content after doing this. This method prevents constantly modifying items. After you put on the best items over and over and over again, eventually it'll be safe to spend gold for upgrading them. Trust me, if you get a item you like and instantly upgrade it, you'll find something to upgrade that is better and that is how you waste gold. Just put on best in slot for it's time as you run Helltides, NEVER invest gold into items wihle leveling. Trust me, a little better items during a open world event isn't game changing.

Aspect/item management is the best improvement of this season I think. Having to stash and sort all the aspects and running out of stash tabs was the most tedious part of the game for me. The new affix system also makes comparing items much quicker now

I'm fine with replaying the story, then doing the new season stuff. We've got a few months and it's not going anywhere. And I know I'm in the minority of players who enjoy replaying the seasonal story. But I get what you're saying - have the option to play through the campaign and have access to all the new content. There is no reason to delay the seasonal content if you've already played through the campaign once.

I want to fight challenging versions of story bosses without having to just replay the campaign and purposely remain undergeared to make them artificially challenging. (Besides echo of lillith)

Can’t believe the amazing season 3 theme as great content to do. Absolutely loved the pet you couldn’t get rid off.

I enjoyed D4 with its ups and downs but definitely one of the things I don’t regret is finding your channel ,wudi,rob,rax macrobioboi and so many other lovely creators

As much of an improvement as Season 4 is, I had a blast playing a new class (Necro, of course) until 100. Not long after 100, I got bored. The grind as it stands now at 4-8 Masterwork, looks exactly the same as the grind once I finish 12/12 Masterwork. The only small goalpost left for me is Tormented bosses, and even that is just dropping more gear that I'll vendor or shard.

@@canisinumbra not the genre, it's D4. Pit is just too simple of a design and the high pit pushing is literally D3 all over again where mobs take forever to kill while you fall asleep. I rather have a tighter timer, unique elite mobs or something that makes pit stand out of rest of the content. Only thing cool was the echos on boss fights, but some are BS like lilith waves. Lilith in general is just an atrocious fight that needs a redesign.

I still feel like I’ve hit the end of the game at level 100 and sampled all the different game modes D4 has to offer. More and more I find myself only logging in to preview any new shop cosmetics … which is very sad

So how far did you push The Pit?

I tried season 1&2 and only got to lvl 52 s1 and like 16 on s2.. pre-season was my fav up till now. S4 has been a blast, fav changes by far is the codex, the removal of all the dumb affixes and leveling to 100 is faster so I can consider more than 1 character a season. My only 2 complaints atm are running nmd post 100 for glyph xp as it’s just a race to the end as all the mobs are a complete waste of time to attack at this point, and now instead of saving items for aspects, I save items incase I brick them trying to temper the item. Aside from those 2 things, I don’t have a whole lot of negative things to say. Oh, I guess skatterrd prisms still feel way too rare as I seem to never be on for the World Boss.

My favorite thing about this season so far is how the meta for "good builds" is broader. I haven't really reached the pit but I've been hearing about lots of whacky builds that work there.

imho, The pit need more rewards (maybe % more GA ?) and a leaderboard. it should a massiv win for this mode.

I swear even w me at pit 77 i never get a greater. Helltides at 60 levels lower produces infinitely better loot

2 things for me since i'm getting older and more casual : 1- I absolutely hate the bricking of items. You get this great feeling of finaly finding a good item, start upgrading it, and brick it and it's useless. 2- As soon as I hit 90-100, I find the grind for summoning mats way way too boring. They should just add them to the Helltides and have all those bosses be level 100 or lets say the equivalent to Duriel in difficulty and have them all drop uber items.

@MadMatty01

I’ve got plenty of boss Matts just from helltides and whispers. I also had a Tyreals might drop from the Bloodmaiden in Helltide Edit: when I say boss Matt’s I mean for normal bosses. The Matts for the Uber versions are rarer than hen’s teeth

I played for the first time since launch this season. The most glaring gameplay issues DO feel worked out, but i've already uninstalled again due to stability issues. Seeming to lock up for over a minute every other time I tried to open a menu or map just sucked all of the the fun out of it for me.

This is actually the video I was looking for. Curious when to play again.

S4 would be perfect Release Version but with slightly slower leveling.

S4 is deceiving. Everything is better until you start running the pit, and then it just becomes the same old boring-ass grind that it was before. It's like the developers are stuck in a mobile game mindset. Grinding the pit a thousand times to get everything to 12 is NOT FUN. The fast momentum of leveling and maxing paragon comes to a complete halt. Finding the exact gear you want with all the right affixes is near impossible too. And when you do get lucky, the item normally ends up bricked by bad temper rolls. In the season of loot, they're still not giving us the loot we want. It shouldn't take 550 Neothiron to get from 8-12 either. Cut that shit in half. Let us play the game and actually get all the loot we want in the Season of Loot, without having to put in 200+ hours just to be disappointed. D4 endgame still bad...

I've been following you since Diablo Immortal days. So happy to see your channel growing. Regarding D4 S4, the game has improved alot, I mean ALOOT!!!

"There was nothing to do in the endgame" Hot take: There still isn't and we are playing Diablo 3 with a face lift now. We're playing GR's that give mats so you can increase your stats of gear to push further into pit. There is no other endgame here.

Last night I was awake til 2 in the morning with my nephew playing Diablo 4 and we did two Helltides. That was by far the most fun we've had playing the game together so far even though we died so many times and was a challenge. We got some really neat loot as well. Playing with a new class is something I'm really considering now.

I​@@krninja22 I feel like d4 is the PERFECT game for casuals. The game is so basic and entry level.

I have just got my first character to level 100, and I feel bored. the game has no soul, its a dungeon grinder to obtain better mats, to dungeon grind to get better mats. its just dull and there is nothing to really play for. given up.

Another great part of Helltide zones is that I am playing territory that I just blew through during original campaign. It’s not the same every time & that’s perfect for semi casual dad gamer.

I have such a deep appreciation for D4 now and even more so now since season 4 makes it so much more accessible for the casual player, I absolutely love finding all the locations and references to the previous titles, and gosh I love the music and ambience of the series, I love how ethereal and melancholic the soundtrack in D3 gets from the high heavens and onwards and Act V of D3 my goodness it's for me such a masterpiece of musical bliss, and those cinematics are still some of the best cinematics I've ever seen in a game (D3) it makes me look really Forward to Vessel of Hatred to see where the story goes, really hope we get to see some sweet as cinematics for that, so vessel of hatred end of the year? Yeah I'm pretty stoked for that hopefully end of next year or something we get a Vessel of Diablo sorta deal, he definitely has to come back at some point and I hope he comes back with his own campaign story line Expansion, that'll be super cool, D4 is so much better after Season 4, we need a Covetous Shen mission line because what the Dickens happened to him?

It's boring. It is a boring game. It's fun in the beginning though.

One huge positive for me was rhe increased uber drop rates from tormented bosses. Last few seasons i farmed duriel thousand of times. This season ive done maybe 6 rotas max and had 4 dropped ubers , plus the fight is actually more of a fight and enjoyable its made a big difference

That's the conclusion I have been headbutting. 3 month seasons still need more content to last the entire duration however had a lot of fun and will probably return for the Goblin event

It’s been a lot of fun. I’m level 90. Never ever leveled a Diablo character to max level but I intend to this season. I am starting to burn out on NM dungeons though. Really enjoy Helltides.

I really wish someone would share some dishonest feelings, I honestly can't handle all this honesty. (thanks for the entertainment over the last year!)

I'm quite enjoying the game now. I enjoyed the story campaign when the game dropped and I played through about half the 1st season before I dropped it up until now. This season is a breath of fresh air. My only issue ATM is a bugged aspect. The aspect of adaptability is literally impossible to get. I have a level 82 barb and a 75 necromancer and Ive literally only been playing for less than 4 or 5 days now. I have like 70% of my barbs aspects filled but I've only managed to get 2 trash aspects of adaptability from both my characters leveling so far. Looked it up and I'm not the only one with this issue. My bash barb build is suffering cause of this and it sucks.

Im level 100 barbarian and I cannot kill echo of lillith. How much difference would master working your gear do in terms of hurting her

This is the first season I’ve made an alt and leveled it past level 50. My alt is 90 and I’m probably going to hit 100 before the end of the week. That should be enough to explain the difference.

Have a great day dm, im thankful i found your channel through Diablo

As far as ruining tempers... i feel if they added a farmable item ( maybe living steel chests? ) that would give you another temper attempt on a certain item, maybe it would help? Usable and farmable...

The real test will be with the release of the expansion which will probably break off a big part of the player base if it is required to play the future seasons and cost a lot.

Glad you're having fun.

I’ll have to jump back in, I think I stopped playing just before season 3 but it wasn’t because I didn’t enjoy the game. Was busy doing other things like playing irl yugioh and I’ve been looking to play a game I haven’t touched in a while so it seems like it’s a great time to start up Diablo IV again!

I haven't played since season 1. This makes me want to come back and try it. Thanks!

I uninstalled after season 1 as well. The entire energy of the game has drastically changed. I’d highly recommend reinstalling and giving it a go

We need some kind of clan hall, where we can display trophies, trade etc. And I know it'll be a nightmare to find balance but a proper pvp, tournaments with leaderboards would be nice.

Exactly what i’m thinking. Great review.

I refunded D4 during the last Server Slam they had. I was bored out of my mind. Tried again during the free weekends and probably spent longer downloading than playing, as again I found myself bored. Feel like I'll need to wait for their fifth year anniversary as it still seems much the same, not to mention i've been playing other arpg's that are enjoyable.

The solution to any game that has a lot of leveling content but is short on endgame content is to do speedruns.

I haven't played or watched since Oct 2023 and was wondering how D4 was doing, so this video is actually really good timing lol.

couldnt agree you more from 12:00 onwards. one thing would want to point out, my stash is loaded with 2 tabs of boss mats... already too drained since season 2 to keep killing the same bosses over and over again. reset dungeon.....

Fair assessment I think. If this was the starting version of the game, I think it would have appeased a lot more people. I'm a slightly above the average casual player and I'm enjoying this season for the very reasons you stated. My first 100 was in Season 2 because Ball Lightning build was easily destroying everything. I kinda skipped Season 3 as it seemed boring. I like the stripped down version of stats in the game now versus how it started.

Season 4 was fun coming back. But now I’m at endgame and I feel super weak as a sorcerer doing the Pit. I feel like my build must be awful cause I don’t kill the shadow bosses faster. I’m not sure what I should be doing to be strong enough to the point of beating Uber Lilith

Now if they could come up with some sort of arena where you could bring your best characters in to battle against others would be solid.

Quick tip, level a rogue if you want crit damage, they're the only class that can temper crit damage on a lot of items. They also have vulnerable damage.
