    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Eh, @Chris can be retarded, but the game map is annoying scrolling around to find certain icons and a game telling you to find an exit button in a UI screen you wouldn't necessarily have ever looked at before is some lazy shit. And the game will bread crumb you to shit way early then not at all...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    My only issue with the new aspect codex system is sacred vs ancestral and having to get a higher tier ancestral to overwrite the sacred even if a lower tier ancestral is much better. I'm still stuck on 15/16 sacred aspect for barrier on hitting elite. It's like 1.8k and I'm getting 8k+ ancestry...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I was going with a full set of minions with blood surge with the aspects that create a second wave and unique that make corpses assplode with blood and also burst around minions. Was stupidly effective with any dense packs, so Hell Tides and nightmare dungeons in particular. Boost blood...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Great exp and summon mats and just about everything good comes from Hell Tides even beyond 50. Seasonal quest was quick, but can't remember if it was required to get faction rewards linked to Hell Tides, but the rewards are good. Mix in world bosses and legion events even if you're just there...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Found an interesting bad design. It seems a higher level sacred aspect won't be overwritten by a lower level ancestral. So, I've gotten and salvaged several 8k barrier on hitting elite aspects from ancestral gear, but am stuck with my 15/16 sacred that's only around 1800 barrier. Now it seems...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    The effort went into fixing a lot of the core stuff. The seasonal Iron Dogs is just a basic quest chain and counterpart to better Hell Tides since it's tied into rewards and their mission. So you're not really missing the point. Maybe they'll introduce companions this season, though, since...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Starting fresh sucks. Starting with bonus skill points and mount and major travel points unlocked doesn't feel too bad since you can just jump in and start killing shit without being too gimp or on rails and have enough points you aren't stuck with the early level basic attack heavy shit. Game...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    If you want to revisit an old character most of the fundamental changes are on eternal too. I'll probably go play with my rogue some since a shadow step build is actually theory crafted to be viable now. If you want to make a new character then there's no reason not to start on seasonal, where...

    Uhhhhh, so Hell Tides are now pure fucking chaos and pandemonium and absurd (especially if other people are around?). Lots of, fuck, wait, no, give me minute type moments where you're trying to town portal to allocate points or just take a breather and nope, fuck you, here's another wave of...

    And he gets discouraged like a middle schooler and starts to pout and slack. I get that modern players find ways to take plays off, but are filled with a bit of drama. Then he turns it on and is one of the more likable players in interviews and all is forgiven.

    By the sounds of the new system a loot filter isn't as glaring a deficiency. Won't be getting shitty sacred at t4. Drops more consistently higher level. Less loot with more ability to make it what one actually wants. So instead of picking up so much shit I'd have to sort bags every 15 minutes...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    By the sounds of it the beta is finally over and this is how the game should have launched. A lot of the big annoyances have been addresses. Game should be in a solid "good" state now and maybe with more seasons and an expansion get to great. Kind of the Diablo model that they should have...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    It doesn't seem like much new that is strictly seasonal as far as I understand. I was gonna roll another rogue, but figured the new loot and other core changes are going to be on eternal immediately, so can dick around with my rogue and new loot there and start a new seasonal character.

    Especially because air fry will dirty up a convection oven fast. My full size oven has amazing air fry capacity, but the cleanup wasn't fun. A dedicated air fryer might be nice for easier cleanup.

    Definitely recommend buying a countertop one to try. Even if you don't like it for a main cooktop, it's handy to have an extra, removed burner. Great for frying or just a secondary burner for big meal prep or to keep things warmed without needing to worry as much about burning. Bonus that it...

    We need more updatable product placements. Works great for the sports games. Jack from State Farm is a great addition to NBA2K. Patch notes could indicate any change in the official vehicle or soda sponsors, for instance, with lots of product placements. You could of course buy different skins...

    Haven't paid much attention recently, but researched quit a bit a couple years ago.

    I dunno, in a pretty average performance where they were getting blown out the announcers were talking (very organically and not at all scripted) about how he's such a great leader even at such a young age. He's fun to watch at times, but having not really ever payed attention to him, right now...

    Yes. That's the point. It's not about angry boomers boycotting cash shops because they're out of touch with the next generation.

    If games were being made extra good off the backs of cash shop whales then you'd have a point. What I see is games getting generally worse as more of these practices are adopted.
