Raxx is 90% of all youtube ive watched this weekend

[@MegaRonus]

Same here

[@patrickdhamilton]

Ditto

[@gotaplanstan]

Me 3

[@bubdigli6756]

ahh shit, i just realised i'm with you there..

[@bkwright87]

I always watch his videos right before a new season or a big update. He always gives such great information.

[@Drauku85]

I think the party leader thing was mentioned in a campfire stream but clarified later that everyone only gets reinforcement in parties.

[@bigolpanda]

I feel like I know most of what is coming but I still like to hear someone talk about d4 lol. Thx homie!

[@nellownewworld8660]

tyvm for your explainations!

[@TaigaGalette]

hey raxx thanks for the recent guide videos really helpful

[@bitter_harambe]

Between Season 5 and Season 6, Raxx has been the definition of quality over content, unlike other creators lmao

[@luongtruong]

I’ll save every video you have posted in the last 3 days to watch on Monday morning while working. Why watch on my own time while I can watch while getting paid right?

[@malfisargaming]

Thank you for the coverage raxx

[@MrCefaaa]

Raxx you are legend mate ,the best Diablo content creator .Thank you for your hard work and for everything you do for community

[@Rickatsu]

Thank you

[@ra6o74]

Thank you, Raxx!

[@endorphinADMIN]

hot, another useful video - thank you!

[@richtofen7542]

Should you do the Strongholds that unlock legion events asap for matts

[@clickbaitsellout7032]

Does the map scan follower also help with altars of lilith?

[@VicJang]

I've been watching the blue hoodie man and ginger hair man this whole weekend lmao

[@davidknight7371]

Can you still level up your mercenaries if you're in a group?

[@HalobravoJJGaming]

Thanks

[@80centjack]

Raxx go lay down

[@raspberrymode1792]

😂

[@Sk801Erik]

He’s working 24/7 to keep us informed

[@GrimReaper4383]

Will you be making a video for us Necromancer users?

[@matthewpillier287]

Let's go raxx❤

[@platiusmango7075]

What can you barter for with a merc that you can't just get easily somewhere else? Is this valuable stuff, or crap like what you get from a weapons dealer? How would you rank a Mercenary's contribution? Nearly useless? 30% of your overall capability? If you don't use one, are you losing out big time?

[@monx84]

I'll pick who I want mr 17 damage hoody man!

[@9kalltheway]

The main fun of playing a game "not knowing what to do"

[@johnSmith00007]

I Think everyone will go with turbohud mercenary :P

[@oleksandrhorskyi8442]

Wait so mercenaries are not available in groups? Only the reinforcements? I'm a bit dissapointed since I really liked mercs in d2 and I really like to play in a group of friends so it would be really cool to have both

[@Polykneezion]

I’m with you on that. I was hoping they stay with you regardless if you’re solo or in a party 🫠

[@subzero308]

Yeah as a minion necro main I was really hoping to just have an extra body to do my bidding for me lol.

[@michaelhuie5878]

Seems Blizzard doesn't like the extra power D2 mercs provided. So the treat them like utility items like pre ROS D3. Very dissapointed.

[@jasongillespie9339]

Mercs don’t die?

[@enkerzan3755]

Do you happen to know what exactly the mercs sell to you?

[@JizzyNinja]

When can I buy the Raxx blue hoodie skin for $20 from the shop tho?

[@LeaveChildrenAlone]

Raxx is the reason we got something decent. Im going to campaign level with the SB. I might even try from the beginning to hear the dialogue. So much to do but first ill hit the eternal, run to new area get the new altars so all the renown moves over.

[@MrImpureGaming]

Do we have to do the base campaign over again? I'd really like to continue skipping it, and the DLC portion as well if I'm honest.

[@manueldomenechtito]

Yes campaign can be skipped to start expansion campaign.

[@Warsign01]

We didn't need them before, and we probably don't need them now.

[@JFiez27]

Did they take away the 900 flowers from legion?

[@mwrobins11]

I don't understand why you would lose your mercenary if you play with friends. So are we better off playing this season solo??

[@Knova_20]

The mercenary is there to act as ai friend. It’s not there to act as just additional dps. You’ll get more xp in a group and another player is going to do much more damage than a mercenary.

[@mwrobins11]

​@Knova_20 Right i don't expect them to add alot of damage, but their passive buffs look to be pretty effective. Yes playing with a friend adds dps, but the game also scales enemy health to additional party members.

[@mdouet]

Depends on how useless your friends are. 😅

[@subzero308]

Funny right they give a raid we can't play solo but they give us mercs we can't use with friends 😂😂... Still hyped for tomorrow but its kinda dumb I can't use my merc while playing with my buddy.. Especially as a minion necro thats just 1 extra body to do my bidding lol.

[@maksimmikheev5896]

How does it work with local co-op? if I cannot use them, how can I level them up?

[@bradencluster4739]

Raxx for president. 🇺🇸

[@DoritosBurger]

People have been complaining that this expansion isn’t worth the money which is just crazy to me, this is actually the most content filled expansion a Diablo game has ever gotten, diablo 2 was basically just a new act that takes like 2 hours to beat and rune words. This game has so many new game modes, a new region and even a leveling system upgrade.

[@oleksandrhorskyi8442]

wait, isn't d2s expansion also added 2 classes - Assassin and Druid, also crafting with horadric cube, charms, and something else, I forgot what exactly

[@DoritosBurger]

@@oleksandrhorskyi8442 yeah but all of that still pales in comparison to what vessel of hatred adds to the game. We even got worlds first co op only activity in a diablo game.

[@izanagiorochi6324]

Comparing a twenty year old game that didn't have an in-game shop or paid season passes is kind of crazy. Especially when you consider that Diablo 4's base game is incomplete.

[@DoritosBurger]

@@izanagiorochi6324 no it isn’t incomplete. That’s a lie and you know it

[@izanagiorochi6324]

@DoritosBurger It's objectively incomplete. I like the game, too, but I'm not going to lie about facts. The vast majority of people would agree that the base game is incomplete since it doesn't have an endgame and doesn't have many quality of life features that are no brainer. Even your favorite Diablo 4 content creators will agree. Raxx, DM, and more. People aren't just saying, "we have to pay $40 more dollars to complete the game" for nothing. It's objectively true, and no, they're not talking about the new campaign or class. They're referring to rune words that aren't real rune words, mercenaries, and the Dark Citadel. Which should all be base game features. Also, acting like a forced multi-player activity is good. in a historically single-player game where most people play solo is also crazy. Especially when you understand that according to Blizzard, 85-95% of people play solo.

[@larry0617]

Overflow of spoilers and guides before the xpac comes out. I can already hear the b**ches whining that there's not enough content on social media. Then there are the casuals complaining about it's too hard, even though the youtubers are giving them cookie cutter builds. smh.

[@lil----lil]

I tried to visit maxroll but got kicked out 404. :( Gonna try Moblitics and Wowhead...

[@judahnanas9772]

They are updating lots of stuff so there things missing RN. Patience my friend!

[@VVoude]

Use maxroll bro.... Their latest update is insane. Quality of tutorials. Written text, details. Everything is better than any other website.

[@Nixname2001]

Can't change the quality of the video. Any ideas?

[@knj2102]

❤❤❤

[@sebik-2263]

Yooo

[@wkndplaya]

get subo, profit. that is all

[@bonelessthincrust]

RELEASE THE UPDATE NOW I NEED IT 💀

[@unforgivengaming8793]

What if I never play solo? Do I get a merc to level, or am I missing out of the main point of the season? Imo the game sucks solo

[@Nostromo2144]

You mean I have to choose between my wife or a merc to play with...? Hang on...let me think.

[@Layanor]

Mercenary should have been one of your alts scaled down 10% or 20%

[@teodorvasilev2195]

Bro how bad is this game like for real we are getting guides for content not available to 99% of the people..lol

[@mapron1]

You saying 99% did not buy expac? you plain wrong. Don't project yourself. You can make statistic yourself just do to helltide now and see how many people have prepurchase cosmetics or cat mounts/pets. more than half probably already prepurchased it; some of my friends just wait for launch to be sure.

[@teodorvasilev2195]

@@mapron1 Oh then how come 99% of content creators have around 100h in the expansion already before release mr brainiac?

[@Alleyezonjimz]

teach me D4 daddy

[@Getafix33]

Ur jumping in early with nothing but speculation...

[@howardstark]

He, and other content creators and such, have had access to a preview build for the past week. They were under NDA until Friday. So, he's been playing it.

[@tek9058]

the issue i see is too much content for a season. after each you have to do more in the same time, which puts pressure on me and when this happens i quit. i hope they will turn this game into a mmo like game, without stupid resets.let people equip their chars, have some hard content to progress, a mix of wow and lost ark. addicts can play hardcore or make 10 chars. what's the point to farm best in slot when everything is gone after 3 months.

[@ADarklore]

You have three months for each season, why are you speeding through everything?

[@LeaveChildrenAlone]

​@ADarklore Because everyone want the high end good gear the first day. No sense of accomplishment in that they worked for it. Instant gratification instead of enjoying the journey.

[@chaddrusso8850]

Yeah I’d like to see the same thing eventually I get attached to my characters and it’d be fun to level them up through each season

[@subzero308]

Hell no MMOs suck just leave the game as is... I really wish they woulda just added to season 5 since that was the best season hands down... But turning Diablo games into an MMO would ruin it IMO.

[@Getafix33]

Unsubbed

[@howardstark]

Good.

[@MSpook]

Good choice, one less goofy to deal with
