Diablo Immоrtаl TRICKS Asmongold Into Spending His Entire Life Savings

@turntwigg I do, but if it’s a game that I am having fun with, those “deals” look all the more appealing.

I am aware of the manipulation tactics that are being used in these types of games now, with Diablo Immortal using pretty much every trick in the book. I have never realized it before but now I know that I need to watch myself more and not be so gullible. It kind of sounds stupid that it took Asmongold’s videos on this game to make me realize it but it’s true. I was making excuses for each purchase so I just never really realized it.

Just wait till people realize the end-game gear has layers upon layers of P2w... F2p has a 5 percent drop rate for one gem with rare crests. You need to level up each gem to level 10. To show how hard that is, it requires 51 level 1-star gems just to reach level 5 on a 1-star gem. After it reaches level 10, then u can put more LEVEL 10 gems into that level 10 gem. I think a one-star gem can fit two other LEVEL 10 1-star gems into it. For max gear, each gear piece needs a 5-star gem 5/5 at level 10 (which requires 30+ 5 star gems to level up it up level 10 plus other gems) and u have to pray that you got a star gem 5/5, not a 2/5 and you still need multiple levels 10 gems inside of them.

I seriously dont get it. Everything, EVERY SINGLE THING in this game you're able to do in Diablo III but here you can just skip whole progress by spending money. For me there is no hope for Blizzard atm. I cant believe that this company few years ago could organise their own convention only around their games for thousands of people every year and now they're producing typical chinese scam. The best thing they could do is just stop existing and start everything again from the bottom. It would have like 95% of failure but its only solution for them.

The characters we create in the game are not intended to reach their full potential within our lifetimes. They have created a game where we are supposed to hand down our characters to our children and grandchildren and maybe even our great grandchildren.

I think the worst part for me is that the game actually looks pretty good from a gameplay perspective. Especially considering it was made as a mobile game with no original intent for a PC release. It looks solid and honestly, I would have liked to play the game. But it seems like a fun game that is being packed with every microtransaction imaginable. My only issue is that I don't know what this game has over Diablo 3. For all intents and purposes, it seems like a mobile-oriented re-imagining of Diablo 3. A majority of the abilities are pulled from D3 from what I can tell. So assuming you're on PC, what does this game have to offer you besides being new and free? Assuming you're a Diablo fan, you probably already own Diablo 3 and reaper of souls.

7:49 - Actually, no no you wouldn't lose that money. If you never open any chests at the end of the the rift... then you get the crests back in a message with it attached. Me and a family member were playing together and we used our first free legendary crest that you get at the start of the game... but we never got any chests because we were just a couple of seconds too late (they'd never played this type of game before so didn't realise the urgency). I freaked out thinking we'd just wasted one each... so we cracked on with the rest of the story. Later, about 1 or 2 missions later I noticed there was actually a message saying "You didn't earn anything from your previous rift, any rifts you don't complete will have your crests rewarded back to you in a message like this one".
