@victorota@gregceltiano@NeverSinkDev@Wrannec Yeah you pick nodes to change your skill. And then you hit 30 and nothing. Have fun upgrading those skills for a tiny bit more damage everytime for 40 levels.
DIABLO 4 LOH - FINISHED CAMPAIGN (WARLOCK)
FIRST IMPRESSIONS / CAMPAIGN RATING:
This does NOT include the endgame, I'll make another post about it over the next days.
Let me rip the band-aid right off. It's not great.
THE GOOD - 20% OF THE CAMPAIGN
Good cutscenes.
Good dialogues, some plot twists.
It felt like 'old blizzard'.
Interesting returning characters.
Most bossfights are pretty solid!
I was very entertained during those parts!
THE GOOD - TALISMANS
It's a breath of fresh air for D4.
It's not very complex and mostly serves as a stat stick, but I enjoyed engaging with it!
THE GOOD - THE NEW TOWN
Compact, with all important NPCs nearby.
A great hub for the endgame later on.
THE GOOD - WARLOCK SPECIALIZATIONS
The 4 soulshard-demons you can bind are fun and flavorful! Each of them feels very distinct and imo they're by far the best bit of the whole class!
THE MEH - WARLOCK RESOURCE
Warlock uses the Demon Hunter D3 dual resource system... except it's worse in every way.
You use one resource exclusively for 'Archfiends', essentially making it a nuke on a cooldown.
The other one you'll likely be able to sustain near non-stop soon - making it a gear check..
THE MEH - WARLOCK 'ARCHETYPES
It's an illusion of choice.
Most archetypes corner you into a couple of skills/subskills and everything else just doesn't make sense.
For instance, if you want to go Abyss/Shadowform, you basically are stuck with ~5-10 skills/subskills that make sense. Everything else just doesn't fit.
May change in the endgame maybe.
THE MEH - NEW ZONE
Not memorable. Not terrible.
THE BAD - TECHNICAL ISSUES
5+ crashes. I had to redo a lot of quests and areas.
Dialogues and volume are a mess.
NPC dialogues would frequently get completely cut out in the middle, during combat midsentence most of the time.
THE BAD - THE 80% FILLER IN THE CAMPAIGN
It's the WORST kind of filler.
Slaying random mobs until something happens.
Riding through zones of idle enemies, often very monotonous dialogues.
WAITING - sometimes you wait for 5-20 seconds for the NPCs to get to the next 'phase'. I was actively yawning.
The game would've been much better if they'd left the 20% good campaign bits and you'd simply have to fight through areas oldschool like in D2.
THE BAD - SKILL TREEE
ALL passives are gone.
Yes, you get 3 major-subtypes of every skill now, instead of two, but was this trade worth it?
For me personally: no. Absolutely not.
I suspect this makes balancing the game a lot easier.
It's also very boring.
THE BAD - (SOME) VISUALS
I dislike the look of many warlock skills. They look somewhat goofy.
The demon-eye turret and 'Rampage' look like they escaped D3.
Ironically I loved the D2R warlock visuals and it's sad to see them be so poor here.
Graphically some 'new' enemies are D3 enemies repolished and feel a bit out of place.
OVERALL RATING (UNTIL CAMPAIGN END)
5/10.
Talismans are great.
The campaign is 20% great and 80% terrible.
Warlock is OK
The new skilltree has no passives.
The new zone is entirely forgettable.
I'd like to note again that the endgame may be a lot better.
I actually expect it to be a lot better.
Did you play the new campaign?
What is your impression?
Do you agree with my POV?
@SUSBED0@MatteoYoung7@Mrhappy1227 I mean that’s fair but they’ve been pretty good about rerunning rewards recently and or saying they would rerun rewards so I doubt we’ll get locked out of anything? And if so I’m sure they’ll be other ways to get them hopefully?
@Selkieselk@MatteoYoung7@Mrhappy1227 But like, once the season changes, those rewards will be gone forever or we will be able to get it through different means? I hate that feeling of FOMO in online games
@MatteoYoung7@Mrhappy1227 Except it isn’t? Play the game and you get stuff that isn’t a battle pass and it isn’t paid. Only people who have a problem with this are the people who just sit afk.
@Warbbirb@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN And I can summarize you with 2 words.
Furry. Pedo.
Yes yes whatever you say, go clean the bathroom while you’re at it.
@Selkieselk@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN Not really, nice try. Its just ive been blasting you so hard. I can summarize you with less words.
No shit, thats why I said im a chef. But i know you believe in lies. So that makes sense why you be so plastic.~
@Warbbirb@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN Oh see how you get madder when I mention that I have a partner. Odd isn’t it.
“Chef irl” working a McDonald’s isn’t being a chef.
@Selkieselk@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN Accept that im trolling you in the middle of a dinner rush. Chef irl, cooking a gun fucking bitch that wants to kill herself. Nice try honey bun
@Warbbirb@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN You didn’t win anything. At the end of the day I’m gonna go back to my partner and spend the evening together. And you’re gonna be here, alone, wondering why no one wants you as you jack off to furry art on twitter. And then you’ll wake up alone, to repeat everything again.
@Selkieselk@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN The only disgusting one here is you. You're the one that made it perverted. I was just watching you unravel yourself, and letting you show everyone you're a freaky bitch that you pretend not to be. Thanks honey, you exposed yourself and I just had to give you fuel. EZ
@Warbbirb@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN The last thing I want. Is a grown man who pretends to be a bird, who likes fucking animals. To want me. There is, in no world, that someone wants someone like that. It’s disgusting. I bet your parents didn’t let you have a childhood pet cause they were worried you’d fuck it,
@Warbbirb@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN Wasn’t covered in animal fluids is what I meant. Which I dunno why I said that, if you can’t get an actual human being to love you what made me think there was an animal that would either.
@Selkieselk@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN ??? Wait you want my dick to be covered in animal fluids? Human right? If not, you're a nasty bitch. You definitely need help. 😁
@Warbbirb@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN The only one who needs help is the grown man who wants to fuck animals because he can’t get an actual partner or another human being to like him. Maybe if your dick was covered in random animal fluids someone would want to be within 10 miles of you.
@Selkieselk@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN I mean you said some dogs should be put down... Maybe you should check in, they'll get you the help you need. You'll still be a bitch, but take care of your mental health.
@Selkieselk@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN since you have it in your subconsious of doing it to yourself all these years, you should go seek help. Suicide is a big deal, even if you are a dog. 😁
@Warbbirb@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN I never said anything about me doing it. I just think you should get really into hoplophilia, try fucking a gun, and then accidentally doing the world a favor🙂
@Selkieselk@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN I know you see yourself as a bitch, but you need to stop wanting to kill yourself over someone making you mad on the internet.
@Warbbirb@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN Yeah and you showed everyone that you’re a furry. Which is worse. also being against animal fuckers isn’t bigotry, like no you’re not right in the head for wanting to fuck an animal.
@Selkieselk@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN I mean that's the intial cause between us, but you're so angry and wanting to try to get someone with more lies because they like Anthropomorphism. You can't remember it. But hey, I made you so mad, you showed world how much of a bigot you are. :D
@Warbbirb@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN So here’s the thing. I haven’t lied about anything. I’m asking you what I lied about apparently and you can’t tell me. You’re just mad that I’m making fun of the fact the you are a disgusting, perverted, deprived, furry. Literally some of the most disgusting people on the planet
@Selkieselk@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN Its funny that you're so angry you can't find it, that's why you forgot what I called you out on initially. Stupid people like you will always find every way to lack accountabilty
@Selkieselk@StevenHeathen@FF_XIV_EN See you have bad memory, you can't even recall anything. Are you independent at all, can you even do things for yourself?
