[@big.guy77]

@@AquaticBagpipe Clearly that's hyperbole, but I understand the sentiment. My opinion is that D3 was eventually a great game that I spent a ton of time playing, and Blizzard would do fine to re-use a lot of the systems for D4 that were great there. I also think part of the reason D4 got off to such a bad/weird start is specifically because they tried so hard NOT to use anything from D3.

I think the game is in a really good spot, especially compared to how it launched. I don’t get much time to play games as a dad, and I feel like the game is so much more rewarding of my time now.

[@jaredgarlock1594]

Still hoping for a functioning loot filter. Console is absolutely horrible trying to just pick up legendaries when there are a bunch of rares. Playing the game on console takes a LOT of time going through loot pickup. Blizzard needs to address this. Consoles were supposed to be treated the same.

[@levivass]

Well the ancestral rework might help a bit, but an auto-salvage system for yellows and blues at least would be handy, like in D3. What I also like there is that all the materials can be used to gamble for better items, you never feel like you're looting useless stuff, the cube recipes are great for that. I hope they will add something similar to D4.

You're not going to spending all your time in the pit. That's the whole point. It's a bench mark to test your power and where you grind your glyphs (at a much faster pace). It's suppose to be one of many activities that are all good to do, assuming they successfully execute on their vision. The pit's integral function is to be the difficulty gate keeper for the rest of the content. As you go further into the pit the higher difficulties you unlock for everything else, which improves drops, gold, and xp.

​@N0belz that's not a bad thing. Runewords invalidated 90% of other gear in d2. Not healthy for the game

[@Kuddochan]

D2 Runewords were technically just a roundabout form of crafting. It's a recipe of an item base and a number of materials to create a unique item. Objectively speaking you don't need runewords to accomplish this, they can just implement this to their crafting system whenever if they want to have that as a feature in the game. The system that D4 is going for now is more fitting for the theme of runewords in that case because this actually has manual customization of its contents. I just wish it allowed for more than 2 of them, imagine if you could have multiple trigger and/or effect runes in the same word, that would have some crazy potential for creativity, but I guess it's something at least.

[@aa.bb.9053]

On the key passive One With Nature, I think it’s pretty simple: you gain all the pets without having to equip them on the bar. They explained it when mentioning the key passive, he said something like “Let’s say you didn’t have room for all of them on your bar?” This means you get all the pets, plus all pet multipliers, while only equipping, say, the poison creeper (for the active effect). Or while equipping none, if you wanted.

[@Juggernaut76]

My main issue now is the Paragon board and it sounds even worse with these changes. 225 and soon to be 325 nodes to pick is tedious and not necessary. If you don't spin it right to reach max glyphs you have to start over. It's a time sink of empty choices in between Rare/Magic nodes, Legendaries, and Glyphs.+5 to whatever over and over when there is no choice, you pick your optimal path and take what's there. I would simply give a selectable board every ten levels starting at L10 with a Glyph in the middle you can pick right away. Every level you get a point for that board and there could be 5 basic branches with three levels like a star shape with the Glyph in the middle. You go all three down a branch you get best boost like a POE Ascendancy. Once all nine points are used the Legendary node activates. Next level you get a new board. Boards are reset individually if you aren't happy with choices.

[@steveozone4910]

The whole system could do with an overhaul. Even the option to remove one board at a time could help for now.

[@typicallyhard5255]

[@Djuntas]

Hate it aswell. You spend 30 mins re-speccing in diablo 4. Remove bloat.

[@marcusjones1399]

Everything was cool af. All these new beautiful aspects it still hurts knowing 3 classes can’t enjoy as many…. The uniques are good but have ruined making a build. Instead of creating a build we are locked into getting to a build if that makes sense. Slide/storm. You’re using lighting gloves, unique helmet, unique pants, unique ring, unique boot. Maybe even more. The new Druid skill seems it’ll be locked into the uniques for it and aspects made just for it. There’s no room to create your gear anymore with uniques dominating and less room for aspects. Why not both!? I hate that this leads to fixing a system they have instead of doing new things but we need to find a way to tweak the rogue and Barb fantasy of multiple weapons but allowing aspects on other classes so they aren’t locked into only experimenting with 2-3 slots of legendaries.

[@steveprivate1232]

At about the 9:10 time stamp you nailed it. I'm so glad you, as a professional player noticed this and took time out to bring this problem center stage. D4 is a hot mess. They are not clearly explaining in game their terminology, what past league mechanics are still in play and how to properly interact with the new ones. I spent an an inordinate amount of time Alt-Tabed out of game just looking for answers about what this or that really did in the game.

My fear is that the new Ancestral items are going to become like Primal Ancients in D3. Relatively low drop rate and at least 95 percent of them are completely worthless other than as salvage.

[@lashaxoperia5917]

I mean isn't it the same right now? you get tons of Ancestral Legendaries, even with 1 greater afix and you salvage them to Blacksmith. Every RPG is like that, you need a lot of grind and luck to find a perfect item

[@jack.bright.]

I like that they are giving casual players a game to play and enjoy while also giving sweaty gamers the challenges they are looking for. Im really surprised by how far D4 has come since beta and early access; this team of game designers and devs really listened and were able to convince Blizzard that this would be good for the life of the game and they were right. After being stone cold "burn this game to the ground" on launch, Im genuinely excited for the expansion.

[@Jak0vas]

Tough to nail that balance, my prediction will be that at launch either reddit will be filled with players complaining about the difficulty or streamers will be saying it is too easy. They they will shift it for S7, I do hope I am wrong.

[@jack.bright.]

@@Jak0vas as long as we dont have to spend a week getting from 50 to 60, playing 4-5 hours a day, it will be alright. Im concerned they might put to much focus on getting to level 60, even though anytjing worth doing is after that point.

Instead of adding another Mythic Helm and chest piece I think they should have Mythic items for other slots such as pants, boots, and offhand

Rax and other creators. Go ham on this PTR, we need this game too be better and keep improving, please give me more loot space, make pets pick up gear, hope the seasonal theme is really cool. Get the loadouts in there as soon as you can, please more inventory space.

[@Maginator1]

TBH was really excited for the new expansion but a gear reset for Eternal killed my vibe. I understand that for Seasonal players its a smaller/non problem. But I dont really like full resets so I primarily play eternal to not get reset everytime but this is like the third time it happened, really annoying.

[@MrMrTravman]

No offense but ARPGs might not be for you.

[@Emetal88]

Straight to the point the way I like it no bs . Keep up the great work Raxx.

Godlike raxx didnt talk about runewords pay2win sad. Behind paywall to be dropped.

I always watch rax live during the campfires, then watch his summary again later lol

[@backpacks6486]

If D4 seasons can’t go crazy like poe leagues and add some wild shit that sticks around adding to the endgame ie blight , then they stand no chance

[@morti-bx7qg]

Raxx saving me couple hours every patch man life is good

[@Dmorris556]

Boss HP is a problem. It drags the flow of the game down. The hordes is getting boring (same as the pit did). The Go! style paragon boards are proving to be a failure - they need to re-think the paragon system.

[@Junkfist]

A similar boon system for the pit would be sick. But do it on a 'streak' style basis. Start your streak at a certain level, then for 8 consecutive pit level increases you get XYZ buffs until you hit that 8th and target pit tier. Rewards pushing but not just repeating 1 level til you clear it. You've gotta climb from an easy-ish level to your max but if you do it in a row without dying you get certain buffs to dmg/speed/cc/resistances etc. Cluld do it in set blocks ie 5 or 10 depending on what their level scaling is.

[@sephrinx4958]

Wow I have never been so disappointed with anything more than I am with those "Runewords" My god. What a disaster, they clearly have no clue what they are doing or how to fix this game. 8:50 Sounds awful. I don't want to see 53 times more loot on t4 than on t1. I just want to see good loot. Still waiting for that loot filter BTW...

[@Zorkey]

More and more excited for D4, so far I generally only made 1 char per season, get to 100, do bosses -> done.

[@jordankerr1]

Huge W from blizzard, I’m actually shocked

[@dickiedoright]

Thank you Raxx for always doing these.

[@DeathComeInPeace]

The game seems to go in all directions but doesn't hit anything fully. Really doubt the devs will make this a better version in 1 year.

[@Pl4sm0]

can't agree more with that

[@xenotastic]

Absolutely my thought. Played lightning spear in season 5 and got bored real quick. There just not any fun mechanics at max level.

[@MrAgill1970]

If the yellow glyphs on a paragon board enhanced the primary glyph in some beneficial and different ways, and perhaps even different skills in the skill tree, you would see a lot more people adding points to a specific board rather than just chasing boards out as far as they could manage to puzzle them together.

[@Velisatra]

I don't like the pit unlocking torment difficulties at all. I hated having to grind through those to unlock difficulties in D3.

[@ronuss]

agree its awful

[@karlcooper8547]

It's just a lazy way to refresh things trying to stretch game out further.. rather than make a better season and give us more than one new class

[@daedricxv2099]

The pit is the only place to actually test your build of its power. I think implementing it as the primary backbone makes sense. It gives you a sense of progression with that class. Or you could have someone carry you as well to unlock torments

[@daedricxv2099]

@@karlcooper8547 what's your definition of a better season? And one new class to do what? The same rotations in place. It's a start in the right direction, on top of the new endgame in the expax

If a world of hands-on experience has taught me anything, "a much better chance" means nothing when applied to rng.

[@evilsquirrelfarm]

Glad I paid $200 for a mostly completed game. No one forced me to pre-order anything, that's on me. But heck!!!

[@DarknessXevil]

"Why are they afraid to let us have fun" is a criticism that I believe we can retire. I like how they really just flipped a switch and decided to create new ways to let us feel powerful while trying to have that power feel meaningful. Great progress. Sucks about Dark Citadels being group only but it seems like the Pit is where we'll be 99% of the time now while we get to enjoy the new systems.

[@max6jay]

Didn't we just go a full circle, back when there was no ilvl rubber band and you could get max ilvl item when you first get into wt4 and we complained that killed the chase because you had end game gear.....and now we are celebrating it coming back ?!? Also the runewords I'm skeptical....when blizzard say things are really powerful sometimes they are just totally off......just gonna have to see but even if it's game breaking you know it's gonna be nerfed

[@danh.5998]

Welcome to video games. We bitch until we lose a thing and then bitch until we get it back.

[@sonnyankau9239]

d4 players don't actually pay attention to the changes, they just celebrate anytime they see changes happening as a way to protest against people critiquing their beloved game.

[@AndragonLea]

Diablo4 devs could be really bold for once during this development and make the pit a roguelike adventure. Every level of the pit gives randomized modifiers on the enemies and every pit level you pass gives you a choice of random buffs from common to legendary. Add some random encounters, either little events or mini bosses or something like the lab shrines in PoE that gives you a permanent buff for that run. You could even use the ultimatum system for the modifiers so people could try to pick enemy buffs that don't matter to their build. Instead of beating the boss, make the boss ramp up and use the damage dealt as a high score. Have a personal and class/server high score so you can track your personal best, the best anyone with your class has done and the best server wide. Have the major encounters and boons in the high score too, so people can see what combo you got that let you get that far. That way running the pit will be a lot less consistent, but also a lot more fun. You're no longer mindlessly grinding the same content you can already beat for scraps, now you're looking for that one hilariously OP combo that lets you improve your high score.

[@jessebolick5266]

So what you're telling me is the grind from level 1-60 is going to be rough with the item power being scaled down...then the next 300 paragon levels is going to be a grind and anything past penitent is going to be exponentially harder until you play for a hundred hours to get ancestral gear because it's basically like getting uniques now and you're gonna have to have a full set. Oh and you're gonna have to grind them again and again until the proper affixes roll on them too not just life per second and resistance. After you've done all that go ahead and grind pits for world tiers and master working mats and maybe just maybe you'll get strong enough to take on tormented bosses only to grind those for another 40 hours before you finally get a mythic unique (because remember your loot drop chances arent maxed out because currently you're stuck at t2 (if you're lucky) cause you can't make your character any stronger cause youre too busy grinding low pit levels to try to get your glyph to level fucking 46 and you have to multiply that by 5 cause you gotta do all five glyphs before you start seeing results and a mythic unique is the only way to actually progress your build) like Jesus Christ blizzard I get you want me to play your game but ffs

[@c-tothefourth4879]

No that’s incorrect

[@mattm8870]

The patch notes states that difficulties Normal to penitent are for levelling to 60. Torment 1 is roughly the same as WT3 and Torment 2 = WT4 based on what I see in the patch notes.

[@jamesdean4349]

Look forward to your videos, thanks for everything you do Rax! You make D4 easy!

[@jameszezulinski]

Can’t have smart monsters running around with so many stupid people playing.

[@SuperSheepKing]

You can get items for your alts. That means the extra level on monsters will be dooable and grants you a ton of xp.

[@Bandoolero]

[@williamwagner79]

When you want an honest review, wait for Raxx.

[@kydelastra]

I'll give it a shot. My biggest concern is that they're just remaking D3, but with different clothes so people think it's new...ish. I hope they prove me wrong, really, but I expected D4 to be it's own game with inspiration from its predecessors. This seems far beyond that scope.

[@gmotelet]

Should've remade d2!

[@kydelastra]

Re-read what I wrote. They already made D2 AND D2R. I want D4 to be a new game, not a rinse and repeat.

[@DiiiiiSalvo]

Rax is such a beauty for making these videos. Soooo much better than the campfires.

[@bonelessthincrust]

I would like it if Normal, T2, T3, and T4 were massively restructured. Like the majority of players should not be in T4. T4 should be reserved for the absolute best players/builds/gear. Like 10 to 12 percent of players would be in T4 max.

[@ShaneMcGrath.]

The original D3, Inferno. ;) You couldn't progress until you had the right gear and were good enough.

[@LordNerfherder]

All ARPGs should make it easier to make alts. You should not have to do 3h+ poe campaign, slowboat level up for hours and hours until you get to the statge were you start building a build. You should get tripple EXP if you have a character of higher level. The first character should be the struggle. The rest of the league, they should want me to play more characters. There needs to be stash tabs, exp boosts and stuff to help me make more alts each league In Last epoch of Exile 4 Resurrected Dawn. It would make people play more

[@epsilon1670]

I hate this pitt focus to be honest, and you are basically required to get to torment 4 to get your glyphs to at least legendary without the miserable chamce upgrade rubbish so i dunno how the casuals will like this

[@Nostromo2144]

Not, that's how. Redoing the glyphs is a step in the right direction, but back-loading all their power is just garbage for us casual carebears. Bleh.

[@crosis2]

The paragon board change is better for casuals. Currently we just look up the optimal path on maxroll because taking wrong notes, glyphs, rotation is so unforgiving. But the change will let us take about all major notes as you said, it gives us the option to just put the points down, we may level a bit suboptimal but we will get to the same point at the end

[@tomriggs699]

They added a third Mythic item not shown on the campfire chat. Shattered Vow - Mythic Unique Polearm Affixes Inherent: +400% Damage to Healthy Enemies +444 Maximum Life +29.6% Attack Speed while Berserking +444.4% Damage Over Time Lucky Hit: Up to a +44.4% Chance to Become Berserking Power Execute enemies afflicted by more Damage over Time than remaining Life. It's in the big patch notes.

[@myownworldist]

this thing should be a dagger(or something available for all classes), whould be a nice to have for the Andriel Rogue; nearly instant poisoned enemies... btw, did i read right? T1 locked till 60, woudln´t the leveling speed decrease drastically? Or am i thinking wrong?

[@Bandoolero]

Pit is totally unfun. Hope they can fix it just like they did with Helltide.

[@AquaticBagpipe]

We are beta testing it because Blizzard can't be arsed.

Important to note that the runewords will be locked behind the paid expansion. All the other changes will be updated for everyone for free.
