Finally got around to playing this. Rolled a barbarian and completed the compaign mode from start to finish ending around level 42. Took another day to grind to 70 and get geared up for T1.

The game is pretty fun. I don't understand why people were so salty at launch. Game is super polished and fun to play.

Only complaints so far is the repetitive nature of farming rifts / Grifts for randomized loot. I can clear T1 rifts pretty easy and I just got my first two pieces of set gear. I don't see much point in continuing to grind out gear in dungeons, but I see why it would be fun for some people.

Not really sure what else to do with the game now.

Edit: Also, the lack of a Necromancer class is really sad. That was the best class in D2.

This game was nothing like it is now when it first came out. It was pretty god damn bad in comparison.

You can farm bounties as well for the same loot. But farming the same things over and over and over and over has always been what Diablo is all about. If you like pets play a WD and focus on Zunimassa set.

People were salty at launch because D3 was horribly imbalanced and the RMAH was a total disaster. The expansion cleared most of that up. Last few updates have been pretty good at adding some balance too. The grind is going to be even worse after S3 though. Ancient legendaries are so much better than regulars it's not even funny.

Now imagine being forced to play through the campaign 4 times to access endgame, no cutscene skipping, no adventure mode, no rifts, best drops tied to act 3 and 4 and the best items being a credit card swipe away.

What? You mean running AutoIt scripts to refresh mainstat/vitality/allresist gear searches with one click buy macros (fuck that confirmation popup) so you could spend more time spamming the auction house UI than actually playing the game was bad?

Well you aren't using a 6piece. Pick M6 or UA because the 6/6 buffs are immense damage. Other than that, if you pick UA you need +discipline as secondary on gear.

I've recently tried strafe nats and god do I hate it. I've done it for about 40 paragon levels (310-350) and while it's strong I just feel it's too much work constantly moving my mouse. I'll probably go back to AFK multishot build.

I'm running 6 piece marauder.

Or I was haha, I just realized I have the wrong pants on.

Not to mention almost all drops were not for your class (eg int shit on barb), and really stupid affixes, like all elites in the pack going invulnerable at once. And also imagine basically getting 1 shotted in inferno and when you died, the mobs would instantly return to full health. Almost all legendaries were ass too. The moment they dropped the RMAH the game became fun. It's no question what their original motives were.

In like 7 years, when they merge Heroes of the Storm and Diablo into one product, and then split it into 9 full retail releases over a decade.

Really though, no idea. Feel like seasons could be it for D3, has there been any indication otherwise? We're 15 months from the release of RoS at this point.

Leaked timeline said there was a second expac, but I think it was scheduled to have happened already. Honestly, I doubt it. There's not much they can do to improve the game, mechanics wise, without a huge overhaul. More content is always good though.

I'll give witch doctor a spin next, but I still wish they'd bring back the Necromancer class in the next expansion if and when it ever happens.

Too much overlap with WD though. I guess it's not impossible since they did Crusader which was very similar to Monk in the first place, but they also kinda missed the chance to do Necromancer with the death themed expansion. Also not sure they're ever doing an expansion again, probably but no real solid news about it afaik.

I think the only diablo class that isn't easily covered by current stuff would be Druid. Necro is pretty much WD with more "death" spells, Assassin is basically a melee range DH which sounds terrible, Amazon I guess has half of it not really represented but most of the ranged aspect is DH. Druid on the other hand is all new stuff, every class has some sort of transformation thing but it's not permanent(unless using legendary and what not) and it doesn't change your playstyle that much, instead just making you stronger for a while.

They could Loot 3.0 in an expansion. 2.0 was a step in the right direction but they really need to make it so there isn't such a reliance upon set bonuses to do anything. They could add in rune words and make runes rare and tradeable. Go with the Marvel Heroes approach to rune words where they're more of enchantments so you don't have to hunt for that ethereal 5 sock. Add in a map-like concept possibly for rift/gr where they add random bonuses and reductions to the mobiles and heroes.

There is still a ton they could add to make the game more appealing long term. But as it stands since each season is basically just to test out the new sets and see how they work the season gets really boring after a month and there is no real reason to log in again.

does the PS4 version have the season 1 and or 2 content updated to it yet?

I've been wanting to dick around on D3 but not a soul seems to play anymore. I'm guessing the season will be ending soon regardless though so i could always just wait for 3 to start up again
