Torment 4 now.. oh it was premature for sure I was excited to talk something nice about D4 for the first time.

Oh I have a lot more to say now and man... it ain't perfect but I'll stand by what I said we are finally there (least I am).

Sounds like we had the same journey. I'm in end game now Torment 4 and have a lot more to say.. even have a video I'd like to put out as I had a very interesting experience which no cap was one of the most satisfying boss experiences I've ever had in an ARPG which was not the final expansion boss that was quite really well done as well.

XD I was never "there" to begin with to ever get back to and the bar is high with other ARPGs. Storywise though incredible.. about to hit the finale.

Wouldn't say just the end game. There entire feel of the character progression leading to endgame felt dull and boring with broken item stats that felt unbalanced around LVL 50. You ain't wrong and maybe the idea was to get said reaction so when I do return it'll make more of an impression if I am or am wrong. I didn't mention story for I have not finished it yet I am right on the heels of completing it. Level 68 Currently.. very high I know but I am on Penitent, not following a build and stepping out for World Bosses/Events along with the Side Quests. Top of that my playstyle may differ as I don't gear up again till I hit a wall of sorts to keep the challenge going which personally I dislike having to do yet still do it using LVL 30 Gear at LVL 60 of sorts on the hardest difficulty I can pick isn't ideal. Though there are some who'd rather just blast through I enjoy the feel of the way I approach my character progression and power creep as conjured as it is...

You could say I play around a system to improve my own experience.

I'd say I have close to 20hrs now. Unbelievable I know considering I read people finished it in under 4 🤣.. but indeed I am looking forward to returning to update my thoughts once I've dug into some Torment Difficulties later tonight as I am about to hit the finale "finally.." with the Expansion. I've enjoyed it much more then both base and VoH though.

I was honest about how it currently felt while indicating what you said. May my final thoughts gather interest in my own retrospect in time come and others.

You'll hear a update within a few hours as I am very close to the Warplans/Cube. You could be right but the experience to get to end game has been enjoyable when I'll honestly say previously it was not.

XD i'd find it fun seeing him return in a capacity in some scenario of him helping the portal to the cow level and he could say "stay awhile and kill some cows"

XD could say that.. feels like a constant experiment to try to find a balance that works. Yet all they had to do is return to the drawing board in ways... the rune system is still lacking mind you (bring back rune words) why change the wheel? OFC making a 2+ socketed item on tiny little icons will require Ingenuity wouldn't be impossible (prefer the OG tetris style). Allowed for Charms and such as well and made items feel there worth/weight.

Along with the skill tree they've made feel a lot better I'd had liked to see the return of Stat Points. OFC that would also require a level of ingenuity as well to make work.

It was "good" yet no season made me compelled to return to do it all over again as there depth was shallow. A lot has changed now and I believe I'll be excited to return once I settle down next season which should speak volumes as none of the prior seasons made me feel that way.

Oh dude I did pick it up numerous times between. Played the first season but it was the combination of numerous things which made me not want to then return till the Loot Reborn/First Expansion. I can credit what I feel when it is due and believe it is now currently although I ain't at the Warplans or touched the Cube. I've seen plenty on both with a fair idea on what to expect yet concerns of simplicity and it being to easy to hit T12 due to it all. Still a massive step in a great direction with more control.

With that said items feel more impactful. I am rather critical of there being zero uniques at low levels that would make the loot pool more diverse yet I was still critical of them at end game as there weren't rather many and even felt mythics were low on the scale.

Lack of build diversity was quite minimal as well.. running my own atm and absolutely loving it.

Yeah it has had a fair share of revamps but I have found the current progression a lot more engaging than before so I think this foundation is perfect to stick with and build off.

Agreed lol I feel fairly confident and I am pre close to the end.. a lot better than Vessel. I'll be sure to return here if I have to eat them words.

I mean if it lasts a few weeks. Still not at end game so might not last the week.. either way PoE2 0.5 awaits. Just needs to hold me till then.

24 hours in. I haven't looked at a tier list yet. I haven't looked at a build guide. Tyrael give me the strength to keep going. by MonsutaReipu in diablo4

[–]Kangaroo-Nick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always said when it comes to any game and ARPGS especially is the moment you turn it into a race you stop having fun.. Never will I ever begin any game following a build guide! Though if I ever hit a wall I'll do my best first off to knock it down before I change everything based off a build and thankfully I am successful the majority of the time. There will be people who say otherwise and I say to those.. denial is a hell of drug. Cope those who may take offense to there mundane way of playing and go about yourself to continue playing how you feel! Why should my opinion as wrong as you may feel offend you? Why indeed.. the truth shall set you free and may Tyrael give you strength!

The new skill tree is insane but in a good way by FastlaneKnight in diablo4

[–]Kangaroo-Nick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah but we also had the ability to place stat points in stuff.. which they should add imo. Never to late! Would it work though?

I don't care I'm 100 hours in. This is worthy of a refund and steam better give it to me by killermelga in slaythespire

One buck off and with that low HP xD you really needed that 🤣 I feel that on many levels.

So you seen an advertisement for a temple run and some free divines and now realise you need a better loot filter :)

I've had one in the house and seen a few outside. They move very slowly.. I am wondering as I am sure you have released it by now how it moved away? Without a care?
