@Thorin I think it's more so that it comes across as a LARP, he never used to have it and it seems quite forced and unnatural. I actually have friends that have lived overseas(actually for longer than him), none have developed an entirely new accent.

It's some high school shit to endlessly point out Twistzz has a strange accent. I think it sounds pretty cool and quite unique. Goes along with how enigmatic he is both in the game and as a personality.

@N_Tys26 @Xaryu People acting like classic+ will be good lol.. once you realise its Blizzard we're talking about here as a company, you'll quickly understand they'll likely butcher it unless they take a stricter approach like OSRS and use community based polls to for changes.

𝐗𝐀𝐑𝐘𝐔 𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐒 𝐀𝐓 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐂 𝐏𝐋𝐔𝐒 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆? On his latest stream, @Xaryu said he would be visiting Blizzard next week for something he was unable to reveal. Much of his community suspects this is related to Classic+, with many believing he may be testing what Blizzard is cooking up.

@therealOri_ @1bird_d Spot on

@1bird_d Probably because the people saying it's "1:1 to CSGO" are delusional nuts that so desperately want the game to be better and have convinced themselves through placebo that it's better. Those who say it feels worse, are just noticing changes and potentially new bugs/issues.

every single time a cs update comes out literally 50% of the ENTIRE player base says: "omg they literally made it 1:1 to CS:GO now. Game finally feels playable" and the other half goes: "does anyone else feel like the game feels worse now? i can't be the only one :/"

@CounterStrike cl_bob_lower_amt 5 + viewmodel_recoil 0 please and thank you.

Release Notes for today are up: steamcommunity.com/games/CSGO/ann…

@Quin69 Well said, it's bad for what it is setting out to achieve - with an understanding their approach is different from POE, it is still as a standalone ARPG in what it aims to deliver - bad. IMO

2026 update: d4 still bad

@OfficialBleh More importantly they need to do it with train and cobble if it ever comes out. Inferno should be re-visited and 'cacheified' as well. Their approach to this rework was spot on in my opinion, just praying they can fix train and scrap the changes and revert it to CSGO layout.

So with cache coming back as basically a visual rehaul of the old version, surely Valve does the same with mirage at this point.

@stnkycs They updated the game to reduce the screen shake whilst spraying guns, with less screen shake means we can see our crosshair/target/screen clearer during shooting. This is a positive change, what I'm saying is perhaps it is now showing us the inconsistencies in shooting clearer.

@iwnlBV how do i disable that? is it a command?

past few days my aim feels so off crosshair is on them but shots just dont hit idk what happened anyone else after the recent patches?

@FreakazoidA Removing the screen shake almost unveiled the masking it was doing and you'll find shots that look DEAD ON are just not registering or missing. More people are mid movement animation when landing shots also. Peekers advantage is worse with the abrupt springing outward and inward

Fkn knew it man

@dust2us @ropz So many hard stuck prem mains are burning right now reading this. This is the feedback that matters, and to anyone with thousands of hours you agree.

.@ropz on AG2 update: "It doesn't feel right. It's hard to say, but not the best first impression" dust2.us/news/73270/rop…

@Fubgun Well said, had a similar experience

Played D4 for one day and I'm pretty much done. Got to t10 on day 1. It's a shame the endgame hasn't changed. Just doing maps with 0 league mechanics, 0 mods and a timer. Itemization is also incredibly boring. I'll make a video on my thoughts, but more or less d4 hasn't changed.

@CounterStrike Thank you for not butchering the map, pleasantly surprised haven't playtested yet but ran around and i think it's a great iteration. I just hope you can re-visit train and give it similar treatment, if this approach was taken to upgrade the last CSGO version, i think it'd be a 10

Welc☢️me back.

@Haarry_CS I like the cleaner cut lines 100%, definitely far better visibility than FMPONE's one - although i do think the aesthetic of a bomb site could present better. Quad makes it look like a paintball arena rather than a real life place - rest of the map i like a lot.

I'm ngl the new cache looks super flat and boxy, idk if i like it 😶 (I'll still play it tho lol)

@NeverSinkDev I agree with the graphical comments entirely, every time i come back and look at D4 it just looks to me identical to D3 from a VFX stand point, all the spell effects seem so bland/unfitting. The environmental aesthetic is the only graphics that holds up. Can't get past it..

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?

@claasic_CS2 OK brother, now play ancient. CTs take the entire map in first 15 seconds while you either force mid fight and lose 2 players trading out. OR you wait for the entire utility set on shelf and stand afk outside B door waiting to retake the first section of the map.

cool for nostalgia but like can we take a second and think about how fucking boring this map plays T Start: Smoke Z Throw flash off wall Take mid fight Back out of mid Go B with 2 smokes and a few mollies OR Go A with one smoke and a few mollies

@aymeinstein So many self-reports in the comments, half the people whinging who are pleased that it's been removed clearly struggled with ladders in general and are now happy its simplified. How's the guy saying spam 1 key LOL. bloke couldn't even get that right, love to see them on t1 kz map

The ladder update killed a core skill of CS. Silent ladder movement wasn’t a “bug”. It was high movement skill, timing, and outplay potential. A lot of maps are impossible to play… Bring back old ladder mechanics.

@orzecs @aymeinstein Im NGL you can clearly see by the comments who struggled with ALL types of ladder movement. Everyone liking these comments clearly had issues with it so are pleased that it's now simplified lol. Half the community can't even fast climb

@aymeinstein What high movement skill bro it was literally just spamming one key

@juschi11en LMAO.. CS2's entire aesthetic. Everything beaming with brightness. Meanwhile can't even see my gun tracers shooting top mid on mirage let alone half the crosshair colours.

In CS2 even the map logos are washed out

@Rob_2628 @GameStar_de Thought i was looking at a screenshot from D3, idk how the VFX in this game look so dated/sub-par compared to the environment.

Here is the Best known Warlock Build so far: Dread Claw Abyss rocking Torment 12 Bosses in the Press Footage by @GameStar_de #DiabloIV ⚔️ Made a Starter Leveling and Endgame Build Draft: youtu.be/3h-Mdf4e2VY d4builds.gg/builds/dread-c… I'm sure we will find even crazier combinations. A LOT is still unknown & that's cool. So much to figure out!

@MKEBucks91 @Fubgun LMAO what the fuck did i just read no way thats a conscious human being behind that PC

@Fubgun You wont like it because they do not cater to top end zoomers like you and make the majority suffer. They build a well balanced game that casuals can enjoy and top end players can push for 1-2 weeks then move on. A formula that makes it the most beloved series in the genre.

Going to try out D4 tomorrow, not sponsored in anyway so it'll be an honest review. I don't have super high expectations but I like checking out other ARPGs when they get a big expansion like this.
