Yeah, the first capstone clapped my cheeks pretty hard. Scraped through it and upped the difficulty to WT3 straight after, then had a rough ride for a while until I got a few decent drops. Still feel a wee bit fragile (although I suppose I am using glass cannon...)
The paragon system is great too for anybody that enjoyed the regular skill tree.

What are people doing about clans ? Any particular ones of note?
If so buy a second copy for PC will certainly want a clan for all the text chat spam.

Will join that in the next few days.
This is a massive time-vampire isn't it? I have lost 2hrs just like that. *snaps fingers*
Love it though. Exploring + loot = fun.
Glad i have to go to a conference for a few days next week as it will stop me going too far down the gameplay rabbit hole. I hope!

Yeah, I'm finding it far too addictive really and it's stopping me from playing street fighter 6.

This is my first real 'go' at a diablo game (played 2 when I was significantly younger but not for long) and tbh, although it is very sleek, smooth and polished I just feel so goddamn lost. It was $110 so I'm going to put some hours in but.. Yeah, currently I'm just confused mainly. Lol

That's it.

Finally started Act 2 last night, at level 30. The journey over there alone cost me another hour as I wandered through a settlement and the dreaded side quests started popping up. I'll be at the endgame by 2025 at this rate.
What a fucking game though.

I'm still on a lowly lvl 12. Not had chance to play it much. Girls in respite today though so may get a few hours tonight.

Yeah, I finally got some time on it last night. Had to tear myself away in the end lol just into the mid-20s but my Rogue Twisting Blade build is beginning to feel really good.
The general art direction/aesthetic and overall atmosphere is really solid, just loving moving about the zones etc.
Need a bloody gem tab, though!

It will take away one of the main headaches and then just follow the story and the white tutorial quests that pop up and you will pick it up quick. maxroll.gg/d4/build-guides?filter[metas][taxonomy]=taxonomies.metas&filter[metas][value]=d4-leveling

Going to check out that link tonight, cheers magicpanda! I'm not too up on diablo either, but loving it and it all seems reasonably sensible rpg-esque options. Need to understand the skill trees a bit more though. And not up on this aspect malarkey, but only at level 12, so no legendary drops for me yet anyway, so it's not an issue.

ekz some basic stuff ... Don't get too regimented into I 'need' to do this, just enjoy the first run through of the story. Don't spread out too thin with skills because a jack of all trades isn't going to work. Have a primary skill to build resource, a core to spend it and a movement ability and then pick complimentary skills that synergise a bit more. Don't skimp on the passive on the tree, they usually feed into your synergies quite a lot. When some decent gear starts to drop, by which I mean that they have bigger numbers for the affixes (buffs to things) or aspects (orange legendary text) of the skills you like using then maybe start to specialise in a bit tighter to something. Eventually you'll be able to reroll a piece of gear to swap an affix for something more appropriate. No point having '% increased cleave damage' if you're not using cleave for example.

Is it just me or is anyone else finding this fucking hard at points? Are the strongholds meant to be kicking my arse to hell and back? Even outwith that I'm constantly on the cusp of dying. This rogue is so squishy. Don't get me wrong, it's great, as I'm reminded of D1 & 2 where I'm constantly chugging health potions or having to make quick evacuations to town. I just wondered if anyone was having an easier time. Still on base World difficulty as well...

My sorc is a squishy AF and if I stand still for any amount of time I'm fucked but yeah I'm chugging heals like crazy. I mentioned it a page or so back that the combat feels loads more active where your constantly taking hits and having to heal. Tapping mouse 4 is becoming like a nervous tick for me. At the moment I like it on WT2 and I've had to think more about positioning and movement. The Khazra section was quite difficult because they just charge you.

I don't die often, and only when I'm not really paying attention to positioning. I've had one boss that took 3 attempts on Friday but otherwise it's been pretty plain sailing. I'm a ice sorc with lots of cc and aoe so it's single targets that can't be frozen that give me most trouble, but it's just typically a case of running around the arena a lot to avoid damage.

Remember your dodge, it’s really good and the cool-down isn’t very long. Sorc gets teleport too which is super useful as it breaks binds of all kinds.
If you’re dying in WT1 then maybe you aren’t damaging the enemy fast enough. Have a look out there for build guides that might give you some ideas - I used the chain lightning sorc one on maxroll.gg and that actually has three more defensive skills bound: teleport, ice armour and frost nova. Very satisfying to frost nova elites when they’re just about to hit you and then shatter them.

It annoys me a bit that you seemingly have to be a "build" meta-slave to get to the end of even WT1. I feel like you should be able to try whatever on the lowest difficulty, that's what makes it the lowest difficulty!

If you haven't already upgrade gear at the blacksmith, the first 3 stars are trivial costs and give a big boost.

Oh good thinking I could upgrade some gear first.
Yeah, bloody hard. I've been doing a fair bit of this co-op with the boy and the last stronghold we did together was alright. This one I'm doing aloine as he keeps getting distracted with Rust and it's butchering me.
I quite like the build I've got going on but suppose I could respec a bit if I need to as well.

Took on The Butcher last night. Man, fuck that guy.
Not the easiest fight in a tight dungeon corridor.
