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

    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 :)

      I’ve found hardcore to be incredibly fair. I’m a 55 sorc and have rotated through the elements, gear and buildwise. By fair, I mean you’ll often have 2-5 seconds to scroll of escape. The invulnerability bubble legendary is top tier imo.

      I just started tier 3 nightmare dungeons, found some uniques, and expect the balance to start getting a bit wonky at this point. The bones are incredibly good though. For a v1 release, D4 is blizzard north quality.
