The vast majority of the posts I saw on Reddit were complaining. I have no complaints. I like the video game. Thank.
I am enjoying it as well! I just hit Act 5. Was pretty deliberate about doing side quests for the first two acts, but then started just steam-rolling the main questline so that I could get through the storymode. I’m doing this as a sorc, and haven’t felt and extreme desire to check out the other classes yet, but am excited to do so. However, I feel like there is so much left to do on my main character! I would say I’m about 15-20 hours in so far, just hit level 41 or so.
Just finished the campaign. This is the first game in years that I enjoyed in a way that makes me loose my sense of time and just play!
I think part of it is that I barely looked anything up, barely looked at streams/videos, played just a little bit of the betas. That way I really got the sense of novelty and exploration playing the game.
I wouldn’t even call it a complaint and more of nostalgia, in that I miss my speed blitz T16 WW barb. But I don’t expect this game to get to that level of ridiculous for a while.
There are definitely some things that could be improved, but over all I think it’s pretty fun. Some people I play with are often suffering from severe lag and stuttering, making the game borderline unplayable at those times. Sucks when you wipe on an encounter because one player couldn’t move their character for several seconds, and if someone complains about that I think it’s justified. Haven’t checked reddit so I don’t know what they’re talking about. Anyway I’ve heard devs are working on it, so hopefully it gets fixed soon.
I’ve been avoiding all discourse about this game because I let that ruin my experience when Diablo 3 came out. The community here seems okay, but the last time I saw a positive post about the game on Reddit, all the top comments were just complaining about the length of the post, and making fun of OP for being 40 lol. It’s made it hard to engage in the community at all, because I’ve been really enjoying Diablo IV! I don’t want to be around all that negativity, I just wanna talk about the game.
First Diablo game I ever played and really enjoying it!
Loving it so far. Have a level 65 Druid that’s been a blast. Played werebear themed build for most of it. Being tanky as hell is fun and stacking overpower pulverize buffs with the Lego that lets it hit twice with a shockwave just deletes most trash. Little lack luster single target though. Just started playing around with an “earth bender” build which is also super fun. All on all been up way later than I planned many nights which is a pretty good indicator of a good game lol
yup, just spent most of yesterday rolling around with my necro. good times!
I wouldn’t worry about the general negativity in larger communities. I find “majority of video game community posts are negative” to be the norm. The people that are enjoying the game are playing it, the people who aren’t are on the forums complaining.
It’s OK for me. I’m not really a fan of generator/spender mechanic, and I suspect this is why I’m only lvl 40 now.
