I guess I won’t be getting the Ashava Mount trophy from the Server Slam weekend as even though my character was part of a group that beat it, it wasn’t a level 20 character.

A good read on The Seasons here...I sort of expected this when you look at the sheer size of all the maps together that include over 100+ dungeons....I get the feeling that Seasons will be likesay...another Quest Area off the main Maps which several games do...Warframe has them with a New DLC/Quest come out and it's "connected" to already existing Planet or Place....be interesting on the details but sounds like it will have some new stuff...

Diablo 4 Seasons Won’t Continue Main Story, Could Extend World Map (gamingbolt.com)

In the meantime this is actually a pretty cool...long...video on The Armor Sets found in the Betas for all the characters. There's a lot and have to tip hat to Blizzard...they're awesome with great amount of details....especially compared to D3....

I've always felt if any game needed to be a digital purchase it's Diablo. Having said that, Game Stop has a nice looking Steelbook with pre-order.

You're 100% correct Decker I'm sooo freaking annoying every time I want to run the Diablo III season on my xbox and I have to find the damn disk I wanna throw shit.

I've still yet to pick a version for Diablo IV but I feel like I want ultimate as I want the wings for one day the game has ray tracing lol. I feel they'll look sweet.

I’m staying home on Friday. I’m getting ready to do an all-nighter starting Thursday night. First time in years since I did that for a video game.

I'm getting the Deluxe as I don't care for the 20 Tier Pass....I don't want no skip with this game however the Cosmetics for additional $10 is worth it for some...and all the Gear and Cosmetic Stuff is pretty awesome; Diablo Devs really did a outstanding job on the outfits....

i'm off this whole week, always take it off for Memorial & B-Day to do work around house....I'll be on a lot Wed evening and late at night. i've talke to some others getting it and the feeling is; run two characters to sort of fitthe situation like if some are ahead or behind and need help and some characters are a good mix...like you don't want 3 Sorcs or Necros even though they would wipe the floor.....I think I know my two classes...Druid and Barb. No-one will be playing Barb, be the least played Class yet I feel mid and later he could be the strongest out there plus his Shouts are Great Team Support Abilities...

@ Buzz
I think I’m aiming to play alone on Thursday night but we should definitely link up on Friday. I just want to level up a few characters including dabbling on Hardcore too.

Let’s have the clan set up on Thursday once the early access is out.

For anyone that is getting the Delixe or Ultimate Edition and will play starting on Thursday night, send me a friend request with your DVD Talk username on PSN if that’s your system.

GatorDeb

I'm definitely in the clan, I have it on Steam and will be running a necromancer for my first character and eventually an ice sorcerer. I'm available to stand in place cowering behind a pillar offering moral support to those in the front lines.

How does communication work in these games? Does it just use proximity voice chat since people are on different platforms?

LorenzoL

If you encounter randoms, there’s no voice communication. There’s a text wheel in your controller that you can pull up to greet or “talk” to that person. No more than two words preset phrases.

According to this article, the reliable way to voice chat with people from different platforms will be through clans. I guess you can also send friends request using your Battle.net account.

On PS5 we have a Group Chat up.....Diablo 4 - Welcome to Hell.....and I sent a lot of invites out and we've got a pretty good group going. Some Clan Names have been thrown out...in Honor of The Witch doctor...who won't make it in for awhile base on the Diablo Experts & Insiders. Seems odds for the next two are....Amazon and Paladine.

I found out yesterday two I thought were going Necro are going Druid so I might mix it up; go with Necro or Rogue as Main but will run Barb for sure; he'll be great in group play and I still think later on Level 30 to 50 he might be the strongest class. It's down to the wire on Class choice an which type of build to go with. Won't be cheap to respec early but it's going to cost a lot way later....

LorenzoL

For those interested in joining a clan, please send a PM to K&AJones so we can add you once the clan is set up.

Also if you are going to play on the PS5, ask him to add you to the group chat.

LorenzoL

The Barbarian is the only class that you can level up the weapons so that’s a big bonus.

I’m going to play through all of the five classes so it’ll be fun.

K&AJones

In Warframe there's a tactic used called...Stat Stick...where you can load up a Melee and based on the loadout/weapons/skill, the Stats off that melee is used as a buff to others. That's how it works with the Barb. You can carry up to Four Different Weapons; a Bludgeon, Two Hand Slash and Two One Handers. If all are legendary with Stats/perks for either damage, resource, defense, the stats off those are used even if you don't use the weapons. Barb has the most Gear Slots than all the others. So later in game they can get pretty strong...

Tier Lists Videos are popping up and this one is pretty good from a well respected YouTuber....one of those Diablo Number Wiz People....any doubts on class, a good one to watch...



This is a Tier List for End Game.....

LorenzoL

I’m still surprised that there is no Trophy/Achievements list out yet…

davidh777

Tempted to play this. I played a PC version many years ago and got pretty hooked. I was playing with a friend, but one late night went down by myself and lost all my stuff. That was pretty much the end of it for me.

LorenzoL

I have been in that scenario many times. Diablo 2 Resurrected Hardcore mode is kicking my butt.

Let us know if you decide to play this David as it will be nice to join up in a clan once again albeit in a different game.

LorenzoL

This is for PC players only…

Why So Blu?

I've got this coming from Gamefly via Unlocked.

Diablo IV terms you need to be familiar with…

Review Embargo is lifted today and Reviews will start after 9am...it doesn't and won't matter to me but I'm guessing 8.5 to 9.5 across the board...with maybe a exception to Gamespot who I swear just hates shooters, melee with violence....and wouldn't be surprised if some Hardcore D3 Fans give it bad reviews. These are the ones who within hours of the First Beta was cutting it down saying it's not Diablo, boring, uninspired world, balh, blah, blah.....because these are the same ones who wanted D4 to be a "Upgraded" D3...where they can just hop into Adventure Mode, Speed Level to 70 in 1hr and just run Rifts all to gain status on a Leader Board and post YouTube Build Videos showing how they did it...that's not happening in D4

davidh777

Yeah, that would be fun, but what are the clan requirements? I can do timed raids and stuff on mobile, but it’s harder on console. Plus I’m pretty sure I’d suck at this game until I got back up to speed.

LorenzoL

It’s nothing like Galaxy of Heroes. You are part of a group, based on your schedule, you can set up coop play upon the available members and best of all, you can trade the excess gear.

No raid time required or needed. There’s always World Bosses popping up but that’s upon availability.

Edit - I forgot to add that I don’t think that anyone will get kicked out of the clan because we are not pulling our weight. I only speak for myself but even with PvP coming up, we are going to be casual for the most part.

Only got a 9 from IGN. Not enough driving or ability to buy gear. Not happy. Definite pass for me.
