I got some legendary boots that gives my necromancer even MOR SKELETONS. They’re pretty sweet.
Can I extract that skill from them when they get outclassed?

Yep, but you can only do that once. I wouldn't worry about it too much though, even on WT1 you get loads of legendary drops after level 30. Just did a cellar and got two at 46.

Queue seems really fast, which is incredible for a Blizzard game on Day One.
It’s good, eh?
Also, anyone know where to unlock the wolf cub backpack for getting to level 20 during the beta?
Nevermind, found it. it’s in the wardrobe in town.

Just snuck in a we 20mins whilst waiting on a work call. Did I read somewhere that World Tier 2 wasn't actually worth it given the way the scaling etc. works? I just started on WT1 but I've only just finished the very first dungeon/quest, so not sure if I should bump it up.

I think the general thing was that WT2 gave you extra experience, but that extra experience was not nearly enough to make up for the extra time it takes to kill things.
So it's basically not worth it right now, not when most things scale to your level anyway.

Aye, by all means switch to it if you're finding WT1 too easy, but no harm on just cruising to 50 on WT1.
Finished it last night at level 48, so planned that fairly well. Itching to get back on tonight!

So as I posted in another thread, I ended up getting this as the boy was very keen and asked if I'd go halfers with him. After getting cheaper credit from CDKeys we only ended up paying £30 each which is alright. I think, based on what I quickly played this morning, that it's the right decision. I was instantly reminded more of D1 & 2 than 3, particularly the music and atmosphere of that first wee village. I much prefer this darker tone to the route they went with 3. Because of that, I'm kind of feeling the love again that I used to have all those years ago. So far. So good. I've gone a rogue and the boy has gone a necro, but I'm not sure if we'll keep these chars for solo and do co-op later. I kind of want to experience it all alone for the first run through and think he's the same.
I've not really been following it much and never played any betas so it's completely fresh to me. First thing I noticed was no dodge mapped to the right stick. Just a button press now, with a cool down. Much more limiting. I like. I'm already having to be more careful with combat and the first boss actually had me concentrating instead of just zoming out and hitting all my buttons. Also, I have healing consumables again! This is all very positive.

If you want the challenge, start at WL2. If you want to be fast/efficient in your leveling, start at WL1.

I just started on WT1 but I've only just finished the very first dungeon/quest, so not sure if I should bump it up. It may not be "worth" it if your goal is to get through the campaign quickly, but personally I find WT2 more enjoyable. You can die, every bit of gear matters, etc. I can only play D4 for the first time once, so I'd rather make the most of it with a higher difficulty, but I think everybody will see that differently. edit: Or what Warrender just said more succinctly!

Not too bothered about efficiency. Plan to take my time and explore slowly, so yeah I may just stick it on WT2, then.

I may go up once I've unlocked a bit more stuff. But right now I'm happy experimenting with things, without having to worry too much about dying all the time.

I'm not even finding WT2 all that grindy, as a Necromancer. It feels kinda like I expected it to?

Think I'll stick on the lowest one. Although it's too early for me to tell how I'll find it I suppose. Don't want the first playthrough to be a total cakewalk mind you.

When's the first battle pass season thingy-ma-jig due to drop? I assume there's plenty of time/scope for a casual levelling to max, on one character at the very least, beforehand?

Mid to late July, same time as season 1. Usually they introduce season only items or gimmicks, so you'll want to start new charas for that anyway.

Really enjoying this so far. Stuck it on at midnight last night (peasant edition) and was on it til gone 2am!
Question re: the Book of the Dead for any necro builds out there. If I choose a Skirmisher upgrade for my Skeletal warriors, can I change it to Reapers when they unlock?

Yep, it looks like you can freely chop and change at any time - all that happens is it unsummons all of your active summons.

So I had to reinstall it because of corrupted game files or something, and did not install the high res textures because I figured I was playing on a laptop and did not need them. This was a mistake, because menus are now taking upwards of a minute to load. And god help me if I decide to fast travel, that's a 5 minute loading screen at least. Apparently it's a bug or something, which is good to know in a way. But the two pieces of bullshit combined means that I probably won't get to play this today.

Started on WT2 and was happy with it until all bosses started feeling like a annoying struggle so dropped it down until i've unlocked more skills. Other than the bosses i was managing fine. Early days, i'm only at the end of Act 1.

Not enough time for another reinstall?

Like many others, I'll probably just wait until the Microsoft buyout of Activision happens and play this for an hour on GamePass before turning it off bored like I did with 3.
What?

But yeah, that won't be happening tonight.

Anyway, damn I love the strongholds. I was sitting pretty comfortably on WT1, mowing through things as a giant bear with animal and plant friends, until I got to strongholds that were always two levels ahead of me no matter what.
And they're tough! I managed to get through one with a tough boss, and the reward was worth it!

Nice to see others are playing on Tier 1. 👀 I started off on Tier 1 last night, then I noticed it said for beginners (which I kind of am but fuck an easy mode). Switched to Tier 2, which is normal mode. Was doing fine until I died on a boss like three or four times before I warped to town and upgraded half my gear. Beat the dungeon boss, went back to town and tried to switch back to Tier 1 because fuck dying multiple deaths early game. I must have tried switching Tiers during maintenance or a high population hour because I got stuck in a queue loop. Turned it off. But it’s still quite good.

Ok I've caved and bought it, as normal. Can't miss out on a new diablo though.
So, necromancer is it? That the most op at the moment?

I can't stand necro. The most boring class to play for me but the hate comes from how annoying it is when your co op buddy is necro and the screen is full of their minions mixed with the actual enemies you are fighting.
