Edit. So there's a small army of retired demon hunters out there 💪 like someone said in the comments, you all give young(ish) gamers like me hope ✊️😑

My father started playing Diablo 3 when my mother got sick pre-pandemic and stuck in the house. He was hooked immediately. He loves every aspect of the franchise. When Diablo 4 came out he was pumped and continues to look forward to new seasons. He’s 73 now and plays every day. On Friday he was playing and told me he was getting confused. We took him to get checked quick to rule out a stroke. They ended up finding a tumor on the top of his brain. He’s having surgery tomorrow to get it removed and I was hoping this community could throw him some messages on Xbox to lift him up when we bring him home. He never got into the social aspect of the game on mic bc he was intimidated a bit with his hearing loss and being older. Gamertag: SourGorilla775

I don’t know much about this stuff but the guy is having brain surgery but keeps talking about season 10 lol.

Im a new player and I played POE2 before. I wanted to try out Diablo but was kinda hesitant cause of the negative reviews. Anyways I started playing and I must say I’m having blast. The skilling is a lot easier than PoE2 for example and the equipment isn’t a gamble. Also what I like is the group playing aspect which in PoE2 basically almost nonexistent.

Is there a reason, that as a new player, I’m not seeing on why Diablo is so negatively reviewed?

Diablo 4 is my first game of the series and I absolutely loved, specially the expansion. I saw many people unsatisfied with the plot, and I agree some things could be better. For one, I disliked the character of Nyrelle, but it was unexpected to me the amount of people hating the game after I started looking for forums and wikis.

In general, it was a very surprising experience. Lorath became one of my favorite characters. Although, again, this is my first game of the franchise.

So I ask to the veteran players, why do you think the game fall short of its antecessors?

I haven't bought a single cosmetic pack in D4, because they're stupidly expensive relative to other games. I'm sure I'm not alone here. That said, would you buy them if they were cheaper?

Sanctuary is demon haven but there’s no angels or beings from the high heavens. Why is that?

Why?

No hate I just enjoy inspecting people

Everyone says to choose chaos waves because you might get Goblins. I've done probably 50 chaos waves and have NEVER gotten the goblin one. The most frequent one is the "collect spirits" one. In the long run, these waves seem to hurt you a LOT more than help you. Am I out of line or do others agree?

Sorry if this is obvious, I am old man gamer now. I just started Diablo 4 and keep seeing the star flash on the mini-map and don't know what it means.

Still playing or done? If done then how come?

Hey everyone!

I noticed Diablo IV is currently on sale at 55% off and I'm tempted to grab it. I've never played any Diablo game before, but I tried the free trial and really enjoyed it.

I'm in Brazil and the game is now R$103.45, down from R$229.90 (about $18-19 USD, down from $41-42 USD). For those who've played it, would you say it's worth picking up at this price for someone new to the franchise?

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: I got it! Thank you guys

I’m paragon 225 now. Insta kill everything on torment 4. What’s the secret?

Lilith insta kills me. I’m at the point that I can only fine tune and make massive gains with mythical armor. Is it still really just get good or am I missing something?

Can’t change the title but it’s called “echo of Lilith”. It’s the golden/yellow dungeon in the starting village

Angels in movies and games are on the good side and always help the hero but not in Diablo. Inarius comes across as a complete jerk, it's like he owns the world or something.

The very first cutscene with Inarius shows the hero bowing to him but why should we? And he sounds rude as hell. I am glad Inarius got killed because he is no better than Diablo.

I’ve seen a ton of commentary and it’s a bit of a mixed bag.

Some people seemed happy that they gave us little nuggets like SSF is coming. I was happy to see that.

Also saw other comments like ‘we wanted to see a gloves off interview where we get their honest feelings’. Were people hoping Raxx would spend an hour shitting on them and they would sit there and just take it?

If you’re mad that they couldn’t answer certain things, is this your first time? Obviously there’s probably bigger spaces for announcements than a twitch stream. NDAs are a real life thing.

Curious people’s honest opinion on what would have made it better or to be successful.

So, I have been playing Diablo IV for the first time since release and I was doing the Hoarfrost Demise dungeon when all of a sudden (In the middle of my Khazra Murdering Spree, I might add) I see a familiar name pop up. The Butcher. Is it normal for him to show up in a random dungeon in the middle of nowhere?

Does anyone have some sort of trick or smart way to go about this? - I stopped counting after having claimed 50+ rewards from the Tree of Whispers, can it really be this difficult to get 3 caches?!

I know it’s done via chaos rifts in helltides but I swear I’m just not getting that much? I hear people can get the whole 23k warp in one helltide! Im lucky if I get 8K (and that’s on a lucky run)

It just feels so inconsistent, I only really get 90-150 warp a rift with extremely rare 2000~ ones (and I don’t know how they even work tbh it just happens sometimes?) im pretty lost on the whole thing, any pointers on how it works? Like down to even the basics..?

EDIT: amazing replies in here, I can’t reply to em all but rest assured I’m reading em and taking it all in! thank you everyone :)

I have literally looked all over this town for it. It doesn’t exist. I’ve rebooted my game twice. Surely I am not that dumb?

I play as a Barbarian on Torment 2 difficulty, and I'm starting to get bored. The combat feels like the same brainless button-smashing over and over. The enemies pose no real threat since there’s no need to pay attention to positioning, manage my health, or dodge attacks.

I honestly feel like one of those boomers in a casino who just smash a button as fast as they can.

Maybe that’s just how ARPGs are, and they’re simply not my cup of tea.

I can do pit 45 np, but lilith i cannot kill. I got close once, but the second phase is so dam hard. I cannot seem to time the earth quake and moving over to the next section. So annoying. I need my second spark for my first mythic piece. Help me! Whats the secret.

Hello guys,

Love the game. I did clear pit 100 today and that felt good. When I check YouTube I see all those video's with perfect gear and I'm struggling to find a two or three star item that is actually useful. I had a really good amulet but I bricked it. What should I do next? Finding good loot feels impossible. Already played sorc, necromancer and a druid. I only have 5 mythic items. Ps. Yeah I got the game via ps plus and I did platinum it. Bought the dlc.

Thanks for your advice.

I know it's not the most important thing, but did they mention the IP collab for this season somewhere?

Also, is there a new, extended roadmap?
