The whole it will be better for you to reroll instead of doing a respect is BS. All it does is make people look for the “ Meta Build “ instead of just letting people try out new stuff

[@chalen1466]

i have a huge axe to grind with the cost of redoing your skill points. no one cares if its more impactful when it makes the player experience bad. no casual player wants to realize they messed up their build and the find out they cant even afford to respec anymore. no casual player is going to be like oh well time to start over they are going to get mad and drop the game after wasting their time because they didnt understand the class until late game.

[@TheBrick534]

I’m really stoked about the paragon board. I love POE’s in depth skill tree and this seems like a similar system separate to the actual skill tree itself. Very cool.

[@Zer0Mood]

i dont believe thats what he meant.

[@NushiSama]

The only thing I dont like from the things you mentioned is the Paying to respec, Im fine with paying but dont like the you have to spend your entire savings to respec thing I think respecing is fine to pay for but at a decent price because I think players should be allowed to change their builds at any time if they discover a new build or a patch balance comes out and nerfs their build or changes it getting rid of synergy etc there are any number of reasons why someone would want to respec and I think making someone go bankrupt for any of those reasons sucks. And having to create an entire new character instead just seems annoying instead of just respecing

[@XShadowAngel]

Yep. They need gold sinks, but that's just ridiculous expecting people to reroll and regear a whole new character because it's THAT expensive to respec.

[@MrBiiila]

Think about it, if you can reroll anytime for free the game replayability tends to zero. Early on it's cheap but later you have to make your deceisons. I like this system from my heart! ❤️

[@XShadowAngel]

@@MrBiiila That's not accurate though. People played the HELL out of Diablo 3, and you could redo your skills anytime you wanted. Plus there's multiple character classes to run through.

[@TheRandalHandle]

Looking pretty good so far. Just gotta watch out for the monetization from scumbag activision.

[@RoYaLDeMoN025]

Adding an exorbitant cost to reroll a character is the stupidiest thing devs nowadays could do. Because instead of actually experimenting people will just blindly follow guides like in poe, where surprise-surprise rerolling is also insanely costly. People value their time

[@stevenashford4174]

I’m a game that is supposed to be about build diversity why limit peoples ability to experiment.. not being able to respec easily is such a counter intuitive system that will only negatively impact the game. Finding a skill on an item isn’t really a good indication of how that skill will perform either. A proper test would require a fully dedicated build to see if the play style is fun and worthwhile.

[@darkwulf2k]

Overall this looks good. I know people are complaining about the respec talent tree costs, but let's be real. How many people played Diablo 3, amassed so much gold that they have no where to spend it? Might suck at first, but pretty sure you'll have the gold to spend. This generally looks like a standard blizzard move. Take stuff already out there, put their twist on it, and polish. From what I gathered from those who have had their hands on the game, they done majority of it right.

[@TENGILL]

The problem is the same as it always is. As this is a stat based game, there is going to be a specific optimal path to spec your character. This is just the nature of a skill tree. So there are going to be 30 to 40% of skills that will be useless. DPS is king. I really do not see a way to get round it.

[@eddiegonzalez3172]

the idea of it being better to recreate a class due to the cost of respeccing the skill tree does not sound like a good idea. Why limit/disincentivize experimentation with increasing the respec cost. This system was also in WoW initially and no one liked it. Now you can respec in WoW at will without any cost. This idea limits experimentation and could lead down to everyone using cookie-cutter builds so that they do not have to deal with this type of system.

[@darthrevan5200]

I've seen enough. D4 is worthless. It is not just watered down D3. It is worse than Diablo Immortal I bet!

[@colonelJ77]

After Seeing the diversity hires ive lost faith in this game. I will check on it in September to see if it is worth checking out. It looks like a cash grab right now.

[@pinkgamer3028]

Btw 200 Paragon points is not the cap. In the Renown System you can additionally get 4 paragons for completing a region. This was in the press preview where they could only access one zone, the fractured peaks. But currently there is no reason to assume that you will not get 4 paragon points for completing any region. So the max apparently will be 200 paragons from level 50-100 and then an additional 20 from the renown.

[@justin5255]

All of these systems together makes for quite a lot of content!

[@asmurk1276]

Please don't forget that this is the same Blizzard that created Diablo Immortal. Not the Blizzard that created Diablo 1 and 2. I know that it's easy to forget, and to just hope that everything will work out. Well, it won't.

[@Label07]

RESPEC SHOULD BE FREE, ALWAYS. So tired of devs locking this behind a paywall or making it basically inaccessible. Don't tell me, "choices matter". It's the lowest IQ reply... Not being able to freely respec forces players to use cookie cutter builds and hampers player experimentation.

[@cracklingice]

Season 28 of D3 seems like it will have been more interesting to me than D4 will be.

[@TheJukeboxzero]

Love the Account Progression. However, as a busy Dad, changing talents becoming prohibitive is not fun. I want to be able to try out builds based on the type of class sets or cool gear that drop.

[@tek9058]

Yeah, that's the scary thing. I'd they're making it this intentionally of a time sink, it's likely so they can sell you a workaround. Don't have the time? Here, just buy this respec token for $5

[@zz12z]

It also leads to ppl just copy-pasting builds, because they don't dare to fail their build in the process, without extensive research beforehand. It's stupid. If they intend to artificially stretch replay value by forcing multiple characters of the same class for variety reasons, it's still stupid.

[@DylanVolksVictim]

As much as I'm looking forward to this I'm really worried, I see the first 6months - year being a broken mess and making constant changes to the systems and constant nerfs and buffs and players spending time to farm something specific only to have it rendered completely useless. We'll see, I truly hope I'm wrong

[@TheLun4tic]

Transmogs for Druid Forms would be awesome. Maybe I wanna be a giant Moose instead of a Wolf or Bear. Maybe I wanna be a Tiger or an Eagle. That could be reflected for customization. But it is probably too much work in modeling and animation.

Everyone is just going to choice the optimal meta build for ish class anyway, so they don't do anything that harm to there performance. Also limiting late game re spec will make this even more prevalent. As i see it know this game is just the same as all the others, there will be one spec thet is the best per session and per class and if you don't play it you are hamstringing your self for that session.

[@joy5780]

So far, graphics looks exceptional, combat looks fun. But hope I'm not the only one that not impressed by the skill tree. The skill tree itself seems to offer even less choices comparing with D3/D2. In D3 all skills can be unlocked with levels and each of them have 5 modifiers, not to mention you could change them at no cost for different endgame stuff. And D2 has a skill tree which straight has more stuff (at launch)... As for paragon board, yeah that's a improvement from D3 or D2, to be accurate it's not a really paragon system but functions more like passives/talents in other games. Feel like the build variety itself from what we have seen really not standing out to me, even comparing to some new ARPG releases but combat and graphics could make the game very worth playing.

[@XShadowAngel]

You should really be able to change skills/tree around at will. This whole "And endgame character will prefer to reroll because respeccing is so expensive" mindset is total garbage.

[@MrBiiila]

​@@XShadowAngel Free respecing = All character is the same except gear = D3 =I don't want to play such a lame game! I want my character be different from the others.

My overall verdict is thums up for the respec system! 👍

[@XShadowAngel]

@@MrBiiila I mean other than character class. If I want to try to different sorc builds, why should I have to level and gear out two identical classes just to try something different with the skills?

[@Wimpiethe3]

It's all going to hinge heavily on the actual quality of the paragon boards isn't it. If those provide enough variety with actual choices rather than a single optimal route then it will be great. Of course there will be that one min maxed build you won't outperform easily, there always will be. But as long as there are enough viable one's it will be fun for a long time to come.

[@ForTheForsaken]

Well I think there will be at least TWO max damage builds since there is PVP but let's hope there are more like you said

[@Aidopunko]

I think the legendary aspect system will also make a difference. It's not that dissimilar to how it was in D3 but will have more space because they've removed sets. D3 had 10 equipment slots I think, plus 3 cube slots but you would typically use at least 5 of those for set bonuses. I like as well that they've inverted the way it worked in D3 with cube powers that gave you the maximum values whereas the legendary aspects will be minimum value unless you find the right legendary so you can extract its power and slap on one of your rares. Legendaries are also something that they can add very easily with each new season which gives me hope that it will improve with time.

Like in D3 it's greater rifts on the leaderboard, which is the part I loved about D3. Can we change our Paragon boards after selecting 1? Or change the points around for that matter? Bc I can imagine the frustration if we can't and we end up choosing the wrong 1 for min-maxing our classes. But thank you so much for making videos like these! I'm 1 of those players that likes to do a lot research before I hop into a game or really commit to it. These videos are a huge help and a ton of information in an easy to digest format. Keep it up man! I hope D4 ends up being everything the community has dreamed of for years.. I'm hoping that Blizzard really listens to the community feedback which is so important in ARPGs and balances the game accordingly. Cheers 🍻

Thank you so much for the kind words, It makes all the effort worth it 💙 As for the competitive part of Diablo 4, you have PvP if that's your thing, leaderboards are also rumored to be back similar to how D3 implemented them. There may be more, but this is a good video topic. I'll do some digging!

I like everything except the skill point reset system, Absolutely abysmal choice they made. Forcing people to re-roll and waste their time is definitely a bad choice on their end, It doesn't make build diversity or the choice of what build you think of any better. It just wastes peoples time if they mess up, Majority of the casual player-base would just quit the game entirely after realizing they can't re-spec after a certain point (easily). - It also doesn't make sense to limit/hurt the players time they play, Since it's going to be a *Seasons* game anyways. - Considering a lot of people work more than they actually have a life to live, So they don't get the time to invest in just making new characters after messing up. Other than that, I can't wait to play the game; Hopefully they change the re-spec system.

[@JK-hf3tp]

I gotta ask, is this a big improvement? Everyone shits on D3 for only needing to replace your gear to try a new build. But it looks like in D4 you gotta make your build right, hope patches don't ruin it, AND find the right gear and thats just for 1 build. To change builds once you have the new gear, you gotta reroll and level and make your build right again. Because you can't infinitely respec. D3 has infinite respecs, and we're hailing going backward as some awesome idea. Sure D2 was like this, but that was the most annoying part of the game as a casual.

[@thefox1799]

Patches always ruined my D2 builds. =(

[@Vulkan_Gaming]

For me, infinite specs are what I prefer. I like the depth and systems they have, but tying it to a huge cost isn't something I'm excited to see. This is going to be one of the main things I want to test when we get into beta.

[@JK-hf3tp]

@@Vulkan_Gaming Good point. Just see how fast the respec cost becomes impossible (at the low level at least)

[@kiluakun]

they had everything to make this perfect, but they decided to go in a different directino... limited paragon points? i have to acquire them again each season? so, all my grinding goes away even if i dont play season? so my class will never be capable of reaching its peak potential knowing and doing everything possible, but only the limited things that "my current build allowes me to? this bugs me a lot, it makes me feel like all the grind i could be doing, i'd be worthless in the end... i like Souls games (the ones by FROMSOFT), there, you can have a character reaching the entire potential a character can have if you want to... each leavel reaches new highs in cost but is up to you... here... you wont even be able to respec nicely if eventually a season breaks your build or a new build comes out that goes un a 180 direction of your current build... i think this is where they lost me...

[@Drakonniz]

Personally, I have played Diablo since Diablo 1 back in '98. Diablo 3 to me always seemed watered down, cartoony, and pointless. Diablo 4 looks like it can be a game changer if its truly done right, and if the public doesn't hate train it like every other game. That being said.. The thing I hate the most in games is fire skills being ridiculously over done, and other skills being tossed aside. As well as only specific things being good at "end game". Path of exile traditionally only allowed fire skills, and blood totems to be good past level 40 or so. Diablo traditionally put too much resistance on magic skills. Diablo 3 made it so that skill customization was a complete joke, and things like a lightning build would not allow you to play on torment difficulty AT ALL (at least.. not worth a crap). While fire (meteor build) gets to greater rift 150. If Diablo 4 has so much customization that you can make an off the wall build and have it work just find at "end game" or on "world bosses", SIGN ME THE HELL UP, NOW. If it turns into another game where one skill, or one class is ALWAYS overpowered, while everything else sucks.... my disappointment will be fierce. In the beta on the 17th, I hope to test out a sorceress and see how viable a lightning build will be. Do not disappoint me, blizzard. Or, I just might turn into the next red shirt guy (ok.. maybe black shirt, I don't wear red). I absolutely will not, EVER play a "fire" build in diablo 4. I have played too many games over the years where everything amounts to fire damage every time (well.. that, and every game out there giving you a "dog" as a pet/companion. I hate that. Give me something else, or at least some kind of choice. Stop shoving dogs down my throat. I say this, because the devs literally said you can pet the dogs in Diablo IV. What if I want to pet a spider, or a horse, or a tiger.. or ANY CREATURE??? Not just limited to a stupid mutt).

[@jjMS92]

they need to reconsider the respect cost... kinda dumb they said reroll a new character lmao

[@viermidebutura]

wtf is wrong with you adding all these audio queues (pop wush sounds)?

[@Vulkan_Gaming]

Trying something different, but I hear ya lol

[@Malentor]

Limiting respecs and forcing players to reroll a character (if they don't want to ruin their 'savings') is a gigantic yikes.

[@jalen40k45]

Farming in Diablo has always been easy though, is it not? I'm sure they're either exaggerating, or completely ignorant of how fast we'll optimally generate currency if we truly want to respec and it does cost as much as they say.

[@lilgary13]

Will there be fun unique customs ways to personalize your class or will there just be 20 ways on how not to play your class and force the reroll to the 1 true way that does 100x dmg then all the others in true diablo fashion? Also what seems like huge leaps in the Diablo content is looking like budget POE. Going to play it with an open mind and hope in practice it plays well and is engaging but how it just looks on paper is not it.

[@Extreme22777]

Exactly if they just made the items/stat points more like poe/d2 would make a world of difference rather than laziness d3 style

[@wizrdspike]

Have they commented if plus skill gear can take the skills above their max?

[@sizzledrizzle]

So paragon system works like path of exile, and is kinda like a seasonal cap like destiny, but better

[@phil600616]

This sounds almost like Grim Dawn's systems...

[@Vulkan_Gaming]

Copying one of the ARPG champs!

[@dimitarangelkovski9877]

As long as itemization is completely different from D3 we good

[@XShadowAngel]

Don't think respeccing should be crazy expensive. Should be able to do it pretty much at will, it's a quality of life thing that makes people more comfortable with trying new playstyles. This whole "An endgame character would prefer rerolling a new character!" is just stupid. Who wants to reroll and regear a character then level it back to max just to try something different?

[@theblindbuildergrandminuti5648]

And depending on things, they said, just really makes me hopes that you can have artifacts between your account. Because otherwise, what a painful mess to make a tank necromancer, and then get something for that build on a army necromancer

[@DreadfulDadJokes]

Rerolling another character to rebuild or Respec is stupid and pointless. Needs to change

[@curtisbrockman2682]

Taking a huge leap forward to add a power cap again. If progression is so important to you, what will you do when you "finish" the paragon board, aka the progression system?

[@Vulkan_Gaming]

Depends on how they handle it. If they truly want to have a finish line for a character, then that's gonna suck. If they add boards and allow you to snap more and more together as the seasons go on, then we'll have to see how that plays out. If there is a finish line, I'm an heavy alt player, so I'll have multiples of classes to spend time on or other games to visit.

[@mattafact808boom]

Thanks for the great video my dude, this just made me hooked on D4 already.

[@ScottADunn]

The cost to Respec but is annoying. Forcing players to re-roll a class is counterintuitive.

[@Arekziomm]

Will D4 have Housing?

[@seanc6754]

To be completely honest i didnt even expect it to be this good lol. This is going to be fkn awesome!

[@scorch4299]

you must be younger. itll be similar to D3. it looks like 90% the same code honestly.

[@BasedRightTrans]

I have to say that the Diablo team has did a wonderful job on this game, cant wait to play it in the betas. Gonna be so awesome!!
