So I was wondering if I should buy D4.

I am a huge d2 fan with hundreds of hours laddering doing mf runs and trading to get those juicy rune words, both on the original game and resurrected.

Like many D2/Poe players, I was and still am hugely disappointed by D3. And I really dislike what blizzard has become.

That being said, is Diablo 4 a good game? And more importantly, a good Diablo game?

    I agree with a lot of your points regarding how sorc isn’t very fun to play. I’m currently close to 70 and I only found a small handful of builds that are semi-viable and fun (not really following any of the “meta” guides though), and decided to switch to rogue for a more interactive game-play.

    That said, I did find a couple of uniques for sorc (unfortunately in T3) that changed my playstyle a bit and brought back a lot of power that I formerly lacked, so maybe it’s just a matter of getting the right unique to change your perspective on your playstyle.

    Regarding the fonts: I’ve always thought the old-style D2 fonts are really hard to read (you get used to it, but small-caps aren’t really designed for legibility) so I really appreciate the change in typefaces.

    Edit: I think most of your points regarding quality of life (vendor-spread, FOV, etc) are spot on, and I hope the devs spend some time streamlining some things so we can go back to comparing decimal points as opposed to rubberbanding on horses.

      I really hate how limited the build choices are, on sorc especially. The entire game seems heavily skewed towards rigidity rather than flexibility, which is especially ridiculous for an ARPG.
