A Complete Beginners guide to Diablo III

[@blacklight6988]

Sick and tired of “beginner guides” that aren’t actually for beginners, but just talk about a bunch of endgame stuff that an actual beginner has no clue what you are talking about.

[@augustblade6167]

Yes, this exactly! I was about to say the same thing

[@Inigoovd]

Absolutely overwhelmed, guess I'll just start playing

[@robertgodlewski8553]

I thought this was a beginners guide. I actually played this game all the way through and I'm completely lost with this tutorial.

[@ALANtt]

Go to another one, this one isnt the best there are some that are actually good and explain the end game and beginning

[@TheHighlander71]

It's far too fast and it doesn't explain enough. I wouldn't recommend it for beginners.

[@knowwork9]

@@ALANtt which one then can you tell me

[@delsk]

I really thought it was just me. I kept replaying sections to hear them multiple times only to think "What is he talking about?"

[@Whitebreadonly]

@Robert Godlewski maybe it isn’t, but there’s still tons of useful info here. I’m new to Diablo so it all sounds like another language to me, but I’ll definitely return to this video later. Hopefully, this guide is still useful in the PS4 version. However, looking at this and other videos on Diablo 3, I’m hesitating now on whether to play it, as I don’t know if it can handle that many enemies on screen at once, all moving that fast.

[@signinblood5752]

I just...what? I saw beginner's and thought this would help me in the first dozen or so hours. This was not the video I was looking for but I bet it helped someone out there. Good presentation.

[@funtimes7171]

Fr I have no clue whays going on lol

[@yiannis777-l9c]

The best way to learn this game is by having someone explain it to you personally, no video will ever help this much.

[@_--____--______--___]

​@@yiannis777-l9cI don't think you need someone to explain the game to you personally. I've been learning as I go and haven't had much trouble. Some of the enemies in the levels feel more difficult than the main bosses and I've been 1 tapped a few times from reapers in Act 5, but bosses before that gave me no trouble.

[@hope1575]

Lol same, I thought this would be for actual NEW players. I've never played a diablo game before; I'm kinda old and haven't played many video games at all actually. I was hoping for an explanation of why there are seemingly dozens of different systems and what the different character types are for and what a season even is 😂

[@ALANtt]

“Beginners guide” talks about the end game stuff beginners have no idea what hes talking about.

[@crypticlos9515]

Thank God I read the comments before starting this video. I clicked off promptly. I’m just gonna dive into the game.

[@kkMeeuw]

Never taught after quitting rs3 that i would see another Protoxx vid again. Quality delivered as usual keep it up!

[@Nexotic0]

awesome to see someone from my rs channel on this one

[@sniaru]

Bro sameeeee

[@poorcollegekid]

this was a really unhelpful "beginners" guide I still have 0 clue wth to do or where to start or really anything about the game except really specific things

[@garykellogg2758]

I've only ever played Diablo back when it came out. Loved it... I figured I'd give III a try, so many things I have no clue on.

[@liveen]

How come beginners guides for games like these are always made for advanced players? As a beginner I dont give a shit about any of this, all the endgame stuff, levelling quickly, high difficulties, starting at hard etc etc. No. I want an introduction to the movement system, the game mechanics, what classes do what and basic introductions to them, how to get started when I first start playing etc etc etc. I learned NONE of that Sorry, this guide IS great, but its absolutely not for complete beginners

[@Theevilrhino]

Most people playing Diablo 3 in 2023 have played a computer game or ARPG before. The things you’re looking for are either specifically taught in game, or can be easily found through a quick google search online. For most ARPG players, the game “starts” once you’re level 70 and you start farming gear and pulling your build together to push end game content. The story content is there to teach you mechanics, get you comfortable with skills and how gear generally works and give you a little bit of lore and immerse you in the world to an extent. The “beginner” title here is meant to help teach people what to do once they reach the meat and potatoes of the game which is where things can be overwhelming because there’s 10 years of mechanics and systems that have been built on themselves over and over.

[@IOSALive]

Nexotic, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!

"Beginners guide" immediately goes into description of level 70 equipment. Where exactly can i find an actual tutorial?

[@jd_real1]

I'm in game, but I don't know how to hit the enemies.

[@fullyawakened]

Absolutely nothing about this guide is for beginners. It's actually probably not even for intermediates. This is mostly about min/maxing your characters which you have to know all about the game jargon to understand any part of.

[@evannixon7687]

(Head scratch) I killed the skeleton king and got the sword back to the angel dude and began act 2 I just figured out I can give gear to the guy in my party the guy talking might as well be speaking Chinese because I'm lost af

Might sound stupid but how do I equip my character, I can’t find the button for it

Cool guide, for Power Beginners ;-)

[@gwaites6329]

Wooooooo protoxx alt chanel coming in massive clutch and I forgot I loved it!!!!! Thanks for letting me know which to buy buuuuuut I might actually buy the standard depending on price because I just want a tutorial and mechanics to tied me over and learn in 2023 here while I wait for Diablo 4 early release in a few weeks cause I'm getting the itch hahahahah. CANT WAIT TILL YA MAKE MORE DIABLO 4 STUFF???

[@JAGtheTrekkieGEMINI1701]

Thanks but I do NOT use "D3 builds from Internet" Diablo IS for *Lone Wolfs* , so I came up with my OWN build which carried me all the way up to GNR Qual16 Lv.110

[@philthyw]

I’m new to this game and completely lost here 😂 I’m like 10 hours in and only lvl 33

[@_--____--______--___]

It's a little late for me to be watching this video.. I just started playing 2 days ago and have been having a blast and will definitely be getting Diablo 4 at some point. I started the campaign as a Witch Doctor and have already hit level 67 at Torment III on Act 5. I have Piranha with Bogadile mixed with some active spirit perk. I felt OP at one point because I constantly had the Bogadile spawning along with 2 skeletons fighting for me that were almost always dealing damage. I think the game had bugged out because I went to check on an unlocked perk, swapped back to what I had and then I stopped getting seemingly infinite Bogadile and piranha spawns. Once I've finished the campaign, I'll be hitting adventure mode and grinding the rifts. I might even make a seasonal character and grind it out, but it might be pointless because I'm not sure how many people are still playing on console as I've had nobody join my game so far.

[@cameronwoodcock8884]

Just about to re start it with the wife ! I’ve only played story mode so feel free to guide me😂

[@Nexotic0]

you'll be fine, just play and have fun and you will learn the ropes quickly :P

[@kiern01]

@@Nexotic0 Great beginners guide: "Just play and figure it out for yourself". The video could have been less than 30 seconds long. Not sure if the title was click bait to get more views, or whether you just have no idea what beginners actually want, or need, to know, or how to present it to them in a way that is easy to understand.

[@OugaBoogaShockwave]

it's just way too over complicated with builds & drops/loot has gotten worse since now there's like level 20 torment........WTF. I'am NEVER making all the characters that level, that's like decade of effort in solo & PRETTY sure multiplayer isn't fun when everyone is hundreds of levels higher.

[@MyKcuL]

Naming the video 'beginners guide' for click is pretty low dude. This is an End game guide not a beginners guide!

[@mattlewis5095]

A complete beginner's guide? Sorry, but this began in a far-too rushed and over-concise way, especially for a more-recent guide to this game, and it barely let up to be frank! I couldn't "relax with my tea", partly because it sounds like you somehow cut the short gaps that surely must have existed between your sentences? (though using .75 speed makes you sound a little less like an advancing Dalek at times), and partly because I seemed to require a significant knowledge of the game - and of similar newer-type 'ARPG' games too I feel. Until I eventually gave up, I was constantly rewinding to either simply follow things or try to understand them. So as a break in searching for some helpful beginner's help on this game I feel moved to write a little bit more on this instead.. On top of being so short of digestible information, perhaps you are making a few 'modern play' assumptions too? Re the beginning.. 'It will take a while to get there anyway'.. where? What actually is a Seasonal Character to make a 'better' start with? Why would you *not* complete the final boss? What is the difference with the 'preferable' Adventure Mode? (could Adventure mode have been a chapter heading perhaps?) And the whole concept of upgrading the game's difficulty from within the game - do you actually *need* to be doing this? You should really explain the basics (or at least allude to something about them) as you mention them, or it just confuses obviously. If you did elaborate on any of the above I couldn't find where for most of them. You don't seem to explain them conceptually in terms of game options. You went straight on to running over crafting etc, which tbh was done so fast and tersely it was discombobulating too. It was quite hard to go on from there to be frank. Surely this video is more of a 'Novice's Guide' for already-advancing D3 players who are are clearly familiar with these newer forms of Action RGPs? I have played Diablo 1 and 2, some years ago now, and a few other arpg's over the time too - but this particularly internet-centric Diablo 3-onwards thing really is a different experience to me. Even to Grim Dawn too (which I thought was very over-rated as a traditional game. In fact I'm hoping Diablo 3 will be a lot better than Grim Dawn as a 'one-player/one-play' campaign for someone who may decide to stop there due to time constraints or whatever.) And I haven't played Paths of Exile since it first came out - I gather that's changed quite a bit too. But for a true Beginner's Guide the viewer shouldn't need any important prior knowledge (eg how these games have evolved) just to help understand self-references that need to be elaborated-on or explained. This video (I couldn't follow it all) felt like a speedy appraisal of the game's 3.x features, followed by the various things that come up in play.. but was no help to me at all as 'a complete beginner's guide', as you style it, as I was expected to already understand (or 'get') way too-much of what looks to me like a fairly complicated game to shore up!

[@bilamch]

Omg, just realized how similar invention is with D3

With the cube and crafting? Sorta..maybe?

about halfway through this video i realized i don't want to play this game anymore, and i haven't even played it yet.

[@OugaBoogaShockwave]

i Now grabbed it for xbox thinking it would be offline like the 360 version but NOPE, i don't think it does game saves offline that matter. I wanted the remaster diablo 2 & i basically got d3 "almost" free on the eternal sale. I DO have to say since last playing on PC in 2015 the solo is much better in leveling up then then. Drops/loot for set pieces is horrible & legendary recipes you get for smith are always WAY too late. game is better then 7 yrs ago but it's still a loot/parts grind fest. if d4 is going to be this "grindy" i don't think i'll bother especially if it has to be connected online just for single player.
