Rant incoming:

This is the part in Vessel of Hatred where you fight a series of ghosts while they spam one-shot-kill attacks and it is SO FUCKING BADLY DESIGNED. Some of the attacks are only telegraphed by barely glowing spots on the floor that you can't fucking see because of all the shit around you. Getting past it just felt like luck, I was dodging everything to the best of my ability and just. Kept. Dying.

I took a break from D4 for a while so I've been enjoying all the QOL improvements and such, but my god the difficulty design compared to Path of Exile 2 is just night and day. I'm not crazy about PoE2 but I respect how it respects me. When I struggle on a boss there, it's very clearly always a skill issue that I can overcome.

This? This is just being instantly killed out of nowhere with no hope of avoiding it, just because game thinks my armor number isn't big enough. If that's even my problem. Edit: it wasn't, I had it capped lol

Really fuckin souring my enjoyment tbh. It

Diablo/Hellfire source port

DevilutionX is a source port of Diablo and Hellfire that strives to make it simple to run the game while providing engine improvements, bugfixes, and some optional quality of life features. This includes support for modern operating systems and higher resolutions, controller and touch control support, translations, stash, optional experience and enemy health bars, etc.

Note: DevilutionX requires data files from original Diablo/Hellfire. By default, a demo version of Diablo is installed.

Every few years I go back to the original, and each time it's been more difficult. From mucking with launcher settings to running it in a Windows XP VM, this time is different. A one-click install on Linux and a copy of diabdat.mpq later, I am amazed how easy it was (and how many quality-of-life options there are).

The update will be available on January 21st.

Starting on January 21, at 10 a.m. PST, embark on a new Seasonal Questline to unlock powers of Witchcraft, slay the rogue Headrotten, and uncover the secrets behind this haunting mystery.

Our next Developer Update Livestream begins on January 16 at 11 a.m. PST and gives a preview of our upcoming Season.

How’s your season going? What are you enjoying? What are you not enjoying?

I’m having fun! There’s a few things I’d like to discuss.

First is the spiritborn. Oh boy is it OP. I mean SERIOUSLY OP. I thought the lightning spear sorc last season was OP, but the spiritborn is magnitudes more powerful. It crushes everything.

I expected it to be powerful but not as powerful as it is. I realise that blizzard wants to sell VOH expansions so they’re gonna make the new class powerful but I don’t think even they realised just how crazy it was gonna get.

Obviously it needs some nerfing for next season but I hope they don’t nerf it into the ground so no one ever plays it again after this season. The items need some work too, most builds are all centred around the rod of kepeleke/midnight sun combo at the moment and it would be nice to see more variety.

The season theme is meh. The realm walkers are boring and the rewards are nothing special.

The undercity is good for target farming but t

..over at reddit.

I was genuinely pleased with this games first expansion. Did I have gripes? Sure! Story felt squeezed, could have given us more there, usual bugs this that and the other but all and all - they've reworked progression the way we've been asking them to for so long. Almost every activity seems to have a unique set of things (or nearly unique set) you can't get from other places.

It's almost I said almost balanced! (Image provided based on limited testing)

Spiritborn has an extra 0 added onto every thing sure, gotta sell expansions. That'll go Away.

Overall though this is the most fun I've ever had with the game and coincidentally the slowest I've leveled! Imagine that hmmm. Lol.

Meanwhile (while I'll admit not all of the players in sub are like this) the reddit d4 bad sub continues to whine,complain, and say "this is why I didn't buy the expansion" any chance they get.

So you.. chose.. not to purchase an expansion.. and then you choose.. to sit around that ga

Since I have been playing a lot more I decided to look to join a clan. But the interface on the PS5 is pretty bad. It starts with Clans that are full and goes down to clans that have a couple spots available. I would rather join a clan with 20-30 people in it. Is there another way to search clans?

I did find the latest clans and communities forum on the blizzard forums. But I would rather something where I can scroll through clans and read about them.
