Howdy folks. Looking at getting the game in a week or two when I am not broke af and get paid at this new job.

Been playing Diablo 2 Remaster and some POE for a few days and just curious how you guys think they compare to D4 currently? Is running a two handed sword necro any fun? And how is visual gear progression, is it mainly locked behind MTX?

I’ve played some og D2 back in the day and played quite a lot of FATE as a kid and teenager, and quite a lot Grim Dawn as well a few years ago. Had the itch to get back to this genre again and after playing a a bit D2:R and POE I think I’ll have the itch for a while aha.

Thanks for any input you guys might have

    A thing to consider with d4 is the maturity of the endgame. A lot of live service games take a while to iron out the endgame experience. D3 only stabilized around RoS a few years in.
    Currently d4 has a good campaign and a decent mid game. Late/end game right now is a drag. It doesn’t mean it’s a bad game, just that blizzblizz need to analyze their telemetry and work on the game systems to give a better feeling for the 70-100 grind.

    Edit: forgot to say that I do think currently the game is worth it, I had a blast playing it before I hit the endgame drag. But obviously everyone’s preferences and priorities are different. At it’s current state I think it’s a 70 hour game, not a 1000 hour game. We’ll see how blizzard does with each season!

    Gameplay is awesome. I’m having a blast! All classes are viable and during the campaign you don’t need to follow a guide. Respecs are cheap in the early game so just try stuff out and enjoy yourself! I find the base game a lot of fun. It’s a little zoomed in but you should get used to it.

    I played through the main campaign and then some on my druid. Currently level 56. Now I’m doing hardcore. Lost two characters because Ive started bosses in Strongholds way over my level. Gonna take it more chill with my third :) It will give me a different take on gameplay. Plus I get to try more classes and builds. My game time is limited and I really enjoy this way of playing at the moment. Lets see when I lose something more valuable than a lvl 20+ with one or two legendaries :)
