Yeah it does seem quite mild, the multilayer. It feels like wow a little bit, but the only time I see players is in main town, and then the odd few scattered about. I've got into the habit now of whenever I kill a mini boss and I'm hanging around looking at the gear dropped, if another player turns up to kill the boss, I generally stick around for a minute. If they're doing well, I leave them alone, if it looks a bit hairy, I'll join in and help. Get tbe odd Thank You emote now and again.
It's quite relaxed.

Ah sounds great. That's not how Diablo 3 worked is it, I played that on PS4 but it was a fair old while ago!

No, Diablo 3 just had you and whatever party you were with, there wasn't anyone else running around the map.

Some good stuff from the "campfire chat" (excuse me while I throw up in my mouth) "Starting in Season 2, Gems will be included in the Materials tab." Thank fuck! Although that's bloody ages away... "Renown The team is reevaluating what Renown systems will need to be repeated as a part of new Seasons. The portion of the map that has been discovered in the Eternal Realm will remain discovered in Seasonal Realms. The Renown associated with these explorable areas will also be rewarded automatically to each new character. Similarly, Altars of Lilith that have been previously discovered will remain discovered on future characters. The Renown associated with these Altars will also be earned automatically for all new characters." www.wowhead.com/diablo-4/news/diablo-4-campfire-chat-liveblog-summary-333518Stuff like the realisation that gems need to be put in the materials tab is a no brainer. Why would you put it in your main inventory taking up valuable space??? D3 always stored it in your main inventory and I used to reserve 2 columns down the side for the marquise and and the next version, flawless marquise(?). There is just more here and less inventory space for actual loot

Aye, if they took up half or a quarter of the inventory slots they do it wouldn't be as much of an issue, but if each gem takes up the same space as a piece of gear you'll have half an inventory of gems if you collect everything like me. It's pretty fucking wild that I'm still getting level 20 gems at level 58 too.
This is a clean start though, so how the fuck did they not think to stick them in with materials to begin with? Surely someone would've mentioned it in playtesting?

Struggling big time with Tyrant King Brol boss in Act 3 on World Tier 1. Level 33 Druid and i thought my build was effective, it's been smooth running until here. Multiple deaths and still not got him below 50% health. Stepped away to try again later. Not complaining I just don't remember the D3 campaign on Tier 1 feeling tricky at any point...

Yeah that is probably one of the tougher fights in the campaign. Struggled a bit as well. It's not always gear though, you need to learn attack patterns for some of the bosses.

Act 3 down. The tyrant boss was a fucker. Playing on the laptop and it was an absolute fucking lagfest. Easily 50% of my dodges just rubber banded back into him ploughing me over and stunning me while his ads swarmed me. That run back to the boss room too, fuuuucked that!
Still, 3rd attempt and the ice shard princess took him down. Ice shards are the shit but mana regen and CDR are my biggest issues at the moment.

In fact I'll go on record and say act 3 was the shittiest so far. That whole scouring sands section was dull as fuck.
I also hate bosses that have an immune state with 2 or more enemies off wanking in a corner holding the bubble up. Single target when not frozen is a bastard for me, I need to group and freeze.

There's a build kicking about that has zero mana issues, if the Youtube thumbnail is to be believed. Lagging to death in Helltide is not cool, Blizzard. Not cool at all.

Well having gone back to attempt Tyrant King Brol again, the game now freezes every time I try to enter the Temple of the Primes.
5 attempts now with game restarts. Wait to let the NPC companion guy catch up, that doesn't help.
Currently stuck with this bug and can't progress the campaign, never mind the bastard boss fight after this point.

Wow! Currently fighting the many boss fights of Elias and the game just booted me out. And now it seems the servers are fucked as I'm getting an error message saying my account is currently locked.
3 cheers to always online!

Lagged to death twice and lost 30 mins of time earlier in Helltide.

Seems I've completed Act 4, that was very short.
I'm making headway into Act 5 now, currently level 46. I'll farm a few side quests tomorrow and aim for 50 at completion

Bizarre. I never thought in my life I'd have a "chat" with mephisto It's where the story starts losing me tbh. Like, there's half a dozen people/demons/angels/whatever that I'm sure have some kind of angle and motivation for doing whatever it is they do. But I'll be damned if I can figure out what it is.

I figure this is the first time I’m going to get to experience this iteration of the world for the first time in the context of the story. Can’t help myself. Got to roam off the beaten track and rinse me some side quests.

crashV👀d👀 - Act 5 is fairly long after the short act 4, so I'd say crack on. Just about to hit 60 here and my god the climb from 50 onwards slows to a crawl!

Best way to do it I think. I normally do it until I feel a bit of burnout setting in and then push on with the story.

The Witch of the Wastes was a long drawn out fight. I did this on the pc with k+m as opposed to laptop with pad and feel like it was a bit of a disadvantage for a change.
Regular people enemies are actually a small target so you have to be very precise with the mouse to hit them otherwise my ice shards would sail straight past. The auto aim on the pad means I can just thumb the stick in that general direction and every shot is a hit.

Got brol down on the 3rd attempt. Had to circle for a while waiting for cooldowns but did it.
Kicked me out during his fight too so had to traverse back to get to him again once I could log back in
I see a patch has dropped too

I do wish there was some checkpointing in place that took into account you losing connection, being kicked etc while fighting a boss.

Yeah that's the only niggle really till the servers stabilise. The other day I had to do the fight where Vigo turns up in that suit twice. I thought I'd drank too much when I fired it up the second time only to find I had to do it again

I'm kind of getting bored by my Druid. The bear smash thing is very powerful, but I've basically got everything I need for it and the only way forward is just to get... better versions of the things I already have. I know the game has a bunch of legendary and unique things to find, but right now it doesn't feel like quite enough.
Maybe I'll try another class. Necromancer sounds fun!
