New Meta Podcast Episode 188: Diablo 4 Post Launch

[@t1nytim]

The Seasonal thing is very interesting to me as well, as I had a similar sentiment. I played my first season in D3 during season 5 or something, as I thought the whole idea was stupid. But as soon as I did it once, I did kinda feel bad that I hadn't been doing it since season 1.

100 is an arbitrary number. In POE, you unlock the endgame once you finish the campaign at around level 65-68. Most builds are designed to work optimally once you get the skill points for level 90. But even when you reach that point, you likely have certain pieces of gear you're still chasing for or bosses to fight, etc. 100 takes an incredible amount of time to reach and is generally only sought after by completionists. In general, content past the campaign is only gated by "keys" like Fluff says. Higher level areas are significantly more difficult, but there is no hard barrier to do them. All you need is a strong enough build. The genius part is that builds require specific items, which *will* have level requirements to limit the amount of power that players have access to at certain points in the game. However, by level 75, most gear is wearable. Drop rate is a different story.

Reason we don't have stash space, or expanded space in our inventory bags, not to mention a loot filter's or little pets to pick up gold, auto salvage blues, etc is because they need to save something to add for season 2 threw 5. All these things were in D3 and should have been there at launch of D4.

[@BrianRox]

That's a good point about not getting xp after 100. Maybe they could put an xp bank in and buy caches with it or something.

[@MrKryton24]

Been waiting to see your guys take on d4 after we all had time to see what its all about. Season 1 certainly isnt exciting me, ill wait for season 2 with gem inventory changes and see if anything else is on the horizon with poe2 probably revealing alot later in July now too.

World bosses aren't the only source of scattered prysims. You get them from NMD. it's only Forgotten soals that is the reason for Helltide

When I got to level 100, I lost all desire to play. There's no point in trying to push higher nightmare dungeons (and being one-shot by every enemy), as you get the same rewards for mid nightmare dungeons (just a bit less glyph XP). My gear is good enough that I haven't found an improvement in weeks, though my build is still extremely weak compared to ones that haven't been nerfed into the ground. About the only things I can do now are farm monsters in PvP zones to buy more transmogs and try to find the last five side quests I haven't done yet.

[@JoeCroninSHOW]

Im level 70 and I cant try new builds becsuse you csnt save builds and im outta stash this does sukk bad. I need to try buikds but i dont wana deal w it

[@kaptainhammer]

Good chat...but ahould of waited till after the season 1 announcement if you had alteasy waited this long

[@coltranenaima6869]

I don't think fluffy realizes just how rare the uber uniques are, the comparisons he's making are orders of magnitude less rare than these uber uniques. These items basically don't exist with their current rarity. Shako in D2 was possible to get during ladder...why not the same for D4? Sorcs btw are massively under performing compared to the other classes. Enjoyed the podcast.

[@paulkaufmann3399]

Pchild unfathomably based, uncomprehendingly based

[@questir1]

Just a small correction Fluff but the new class Lost Ark is getting is called Soul Eater and the video you showed is from an old class

[@MrGunpocket]

people overuse every 'buzzword' these days, honestly. just look at shit like 'woke'. people cant even define it. they just spurt it out.

[@vineuk9084]

Nice to you guys back, miss the regular shows. Well Nice to see Pchild, not sure if I Missed Fluffy and his new pet caterpillar lol. D4 is just like D3 on launch, Shit and it will take an expansion to make the game fun, just like D3. I didn't buy it on launch, waited a week and read the reviews. Bought it due to all the positive hype from streamers and now those same people are putting it down lol. I've got level 50+ of each class trying ot work out what to play in season, only class that seems versatile is "LITERALLY" DRUID lol. Hurry up Mr Fluffy for that Pet Necro build, you and maybe Gazzy are the only ones who can find a non metta Necro pet build that will be fun. Thxs again guys

[@Cymricus]

i had a friend i’ve known since high school pull that “gaslighting” stuff on me. she went on to say i likely had problems in my relationships because of it and all this. mind you i hardly ever talk to this woman lol. and likely won’t ever again, because i tried to explain how diagnosing somebody is disrespectful and our conversation wasn’t even that serious. run far away from that behavior.

[@chriso6042]

Its a totally different experience when you're 100.. its exponentially worse when you're 100.. theres NO incentive to keep playing

[@SkylerMWilliams]

Pchild sounds like he really wants to play poe but refuses to play poe. 😂

[@chriso6042]

Uber uniques... They're so rare you wont get one in 100 years playtime right now buddy. Not in a season lol

[@JoeCroninSHOW]

If pchild quits hit me up ill fill in on the podcast lol

[@JoeCroninSHOW]

People saying game of the year acting like diablo 3 doesnt exist 😊

[@GilgameshGDLK]

D4 is vastly superior to D3. And I LOVE D3.

[@CAT3616G]

How’s the weather on your planet?

[@CAT3616G]

Fluff doesn’t want women hitting on him and is trying to attract more dudes

[@jordanthomas1107]

Can we please, for the love of god, TRUNCATE THE STATS? Bro I don't need to see 10.4%... gimme 10%

[@jessicadyer4389]

👀 *Promosm*

[@JoeCroninSHOW]

So you guys even olay diablo 4 ? Feel like u all bailed after a week haha im level 70 and i go back to D3 when i get enough...this isnt as bad as d3 launch but it is getting old like d3 launch they need to fix but im liking D4 ...d3 is a better game for me right now...its D3 all over

[@BGriffith85]

D3 is a better game right now, agreed. It did have 10 years to cook though and d4 has a better foundation to build from. D3 launch was sooooo bad. Theoretically should not take d4 as long to get there, fingers crossed!

[@JoeCroninSHOW]

​@@BGriffith85 agreed D4 is ahead of where d3 was by far we shall see
