@BrainDeadxzx @Aedrareforged Never said WoW was not on top. The original tweet made it seem like WoW was so ahead of the others and did not have competition, which is completely false.

@vaynw @Aedrareforged Wow has been on top of the game for decades in terms of numbers and content. Gw2 and ff14 are runner ups but never had the player base or impact wow has had and still does. Just cause you think one is better then wow doesn't mean wow isn't on top

I’m going to say something that’s obvious but still true: Diablo can’t afford to drop in quality because it has PoE, PoE2, and Last Epoch (and others) right on its heels. WoW doesn’t really have that, and they know it...

@Aedrareforged I agree with you on this i´m just calling out the fact that you said WoW doesnt really have anything close to it. I think its an unfair statement.

@vaynw People like what they like, and you like what you like. Your taste is your own

@Aedrareforged Exactly but my opinion is not biased, ive played and enjoyed all of these games for countless hours, less in last epoch. Blizzard fans need to get out of their own bubble imo.

@vaynw Opinions are like arses: everyone’s got one

@thalassianbunny The combat is fundamentally different, so, none

if you're from WoW but you got into FFXIV, what class on FFXIV did u choose?? does it reflect your WoW main?

@Ravensfan4lyfee @Joh_Burg @Diablo Yep, somehow people will defend the game like they improved the game alot. I think the foundation is solid but the gameplay loop is exactly the same and the endgame is still dogshit

@vaynw @Joh_Burg @Diablo It’s fun for about 2 days.They somehow made the skill tree worse, the warplan system is just chaining all the activities they had into one. I just don’t get what their development team actually works on.. they have 3x manpower of other studios and release half the content they do

man, seeing the @Diablo team get their deserved flowers with more than a few goty mentions is heart-filling. so much focus poured in; the good notes taken & built upon. iykyk & more to come. but for now, to Skovos w love! 🫡🔥💕

@Ravensfan4lyfee @Joh_Burg @Diablo The game is def better, but i agree with you. No point in even mentioning, blizzard fans live in a complete different reality. Using GOTY and diablo in the same sentence is criminal

@Joh_Burg @Diablo Game of the year? LMAO. Flowers? They added 2 campaigns and 3 classes in 3 entire years. the only thing they develop for this dog shit game is skins for the damn shop that cost more than the actual game. Game of the year my ass. Those days are long gone for blizzard

@Dansgaming @Diablo It is, but lets not overhype it, it still has a LONG way to go to be a really good arpg

I've played lots of the end game of Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred. I'm having a lot of fun grinding the War Plans! It adds some needed structure and long term progression. The gearing changes, set bonuses, & Horadic Cube crafting feel great. This is the best the game has ever been.

@BunBoy_Tsu I play with JP VA and she was just an annoying character. Nothing against their VA´s lol

I'mma be real with you. A majority of the people who "genuinely" hate her and spout off shit like "Woke Lmao" are just very vocal transphobes. They only dislike her because her English VA is trans. That's literally it.

@77R4PTOR @TalkativeTri You said campaign is not debatable? Apart from the story how is diablo campaign any better?

@vaynw @TalkativeTri any poe, the campaign is not even debatable, and like I said, POE is a much better game, you need to read.

Finally rolled credits on the Diablo 4 expansion. Some quick thoughts as a Path of Exile 2 player: - Good story, enjoyed it a bunch - Much better boss fights than core + VOH, Mephisto and Inarius were faves - Paladin skills are cool, I like the leap - Combat still does not hook me, feels janky - Not a fan of the open world - I miss pause + saving where I am like in PoE 2, I had to redo a bunch of quests due to my lovely family ;) - Wardrobe system is peak, GGG please take notes from Blizzard - Environments are fascinating but you kinda zoom through them on your horse - I see why D4 has campaign skip, I cannot see really wanting to play that campaign again even though I liked the story, too many unskippable dialogue/travel sequences Now, onward to the endgame and War Plans...100% blind. This should be interesting.

@77R4PTOR @TalkativeTri Which versio of poe? Diablo has better story but campaign isnt on same level cause poe2 blows it out of the water gameplay wise loool

You really live in a world of your own, POE 2 is a much better game, don't get me wrong. Now, campaign? its incomparable with POE, its not even on the same league...but I understand, apparently you tried to skip it and you failed most of the times, but 90% of the campaign is skippable just so you know, you say you don't want to play the campaign again, but you played the shity POE campaign infinite times. Combat junky? Its actually one of the few things that it excels compared to POE...super smooth and without fps going down the drain. "Environments are fascinating but you kinda zoom through them on your horse" Isnt it weird that in POE most of builds you run faster that a horse? About end game forget it, its still miles away from POE and I think will always be.

@ConnahDC_ @PaulTassi @Forbes Diablo game design cant take poe tree however last epoch is a very good example how to do a tree that would fit diablo. But blizz devs have 0 creativity

@PaulTassi @Forbes i really dont understand why they havent taken inspiration from PoE for the skill tree, why are they so commited to the skill twig idea

The New ‘Diablo 4: Lord Of Hatred’ Skill Trees Have One Weird Problem via @forbes forbes.com/sites/paultass…

@Sakerift @Fate_Of_Nines Poe1 has more depth than any other arpg put together. Its not a game that punishes new players but rather rewards knowledge and that takes time. Not every game is meant to hold hands

@vaynw @Fate_Of_Nines PoE1s respec system punishes new players for not looking up builds. The game lacks visual clarity in so many areas where you literally cannot see many enemy projectiles or AoEs well. The game is also just mechanically uninteresting and mostly about stat checks but different issue

How it feels to be playing Diablo 4 right now and enjoying it while dedicated POE2 players are active on socials. For what it's worth I'm also looking forward to the POE2 update. ;D

@Sakerift @Fate_Of_Nines Huh?

@vaynw @Fate_Of_Nines Wild take when PoE1s entire thing is "oops we didn't think of that" problems throughout the game

@0xhero If you never played a arpg before its good. If you played poe it will feel vastly inferior imo

thoughts? ive never played diablo before

@Lagerale @Slootbag Not the biggest fan of LE but the tree is FAR, FAR better than diablo

@Slootbag Again PoE is an outlier, and PoE 2 you spend 1/3rd of your points on attributes nodes. so what are we really saying? LE tree isn’t as amazing as you say and I love LE

Maybe hot take but the new Diablo 4 skill trees are kinda shit You spend like ~30% of your points making somewhat ok/fun choices and the rest is just a boring numbers dump into abilities up to 15 points

@tehface @NeverSinkDev Diablo fans will literally eat any turd blizzard throws at them. Ive played the game, and his review is honestly quite accurate

@NeverSinkDev poe1/2 players will find anything to hate on other arpg's

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?
