D3 better than d4

It is not. You or rather many people judged the whole game is bad because of the monetization, not because the game itself is bad.

DI has a lot of good features and content. For starter, it has exclusive inventory slot only for gems instead of having main inventory taking everything.

So unlike D3, DI players don’t have to worry that their inventory ran out of space suddenly because of the gems they found during farming. I am sure many d3 players experienced this a lot when they encountered a horde of goblins and only to found that a portion of their inventory slots were taken by multiple gems after looting from those goblins.

Best of all, you don’t have to waste your stash space for keeping those gems too.

Seeing as D3 has had dedicated space for certain things for years, that seems like a very weak selling point.

Diablo 4 has Metacritic user score if 5. Not sure how its so high because when you read the user reviews it all 0s to 2s.

Diablo 4 is pure garbage. It’s missing Diablo Immortals legendary gems which probably would be an improvement.

I hope they dont stop supporting Diablo 3 because that’s the Diablo I am and will continue to play.

D3 will be going into recycled season maintenance mode after S29, have fun with that.

66

…and Diablo 3 has a user review score of 4.2. What is your point? I played many hours on this game despite the review bombs.

That is hyperbole. Have you played the game, or just spouting off ignorant rage fits?

^^ I’m ready to move on and D4 is a good fit.

I thought you didn’t like it. Is it growing on you? I’m 28 now, not got to play much. It’s not bad, some stuff is rough for melee for sure. Few “gaaah!” situations where you’re soloing some boss, out of potions and waiting for Trample to come off cooldown.

The more I’ve played it, the more I enjoy it. It has a level of depth that I couldn’t understand without actually sinking into it. There’s aspects I dislike about the early campaign (like the long walks), but despite that, I’m excited to get into the end game whenever it happens. I just finished Act 2 today.

The only other immediate feature I wish they’d integrate is a chat system similar to D3’s.

I know it’s strange because I spewed ignorant hate on the game, and I’ve had a change of heart on it. Those that are nay-sayers here, I say give it a try.

I think most of the complaints you see on D4 forums are coming from people that either 1) never played a Diablo game before and didn’t realize what the end-game actually is, or 2) only ever played D3 and have had their brains fried out from 30,000% multipliers.

That’s fair. I still think it’s decent but not as awesome as I hoped but it’s still early. Seeing some high level friends with some neat gear gives me hope. Could be since I just finished Zelda which amazed me, so my expectation bar was set high. That or I’ve only played 1 class and it could be that I’ve not found my niche. Didn’t even play Monk for a long time and that was the class I enjoyed most.

When you get your mount you will see a major difference, use the shift key to make him run faster. To unlock mounts you first need to complete the quest ‘Mount: Donan’s Favor’. You receive this priority quest at the beginning of Act 4 from Donan himself, just outside of the Cathedral of Light in Kyovashad. Simply speak to Oskar the Stable Master in Kyovashad to complete the quest and receive the mount.

Same for me I hope they make a return in D4. Long live the monks.

71

Is it? More like only those who only played D2 in their lifetime and are unable to adapt to the game with a skill cooldown and build their character progression further with paragon system. :sunglasses:

72

But DI dungeon is one of the DI endgame activities, not the only DI endgame content.

If you are just a normal player that doesn’t do min-max on your set item, you would only need to run the dungeon 21 times to get 7 free random set items every week. Plus you won’t be running the same dungeons every week as the game will randomly boost 2 different dungeons every week.

If you like GR type of activity, it is Elder Rift in the DI version, but it isn’t one-stop content like D3 GR where you can get insane XP, a lot of legendary and set items, and golds just in one content.

73

I am curious. I have noticed and presumably others that >90% of the posts on the D3 forum extolling the virtues of D:I are from you. Why?

Are you trying to convince D3 players about the merits of D:I?

It seems odd to me. I think most people posting on this forum have an established view of that game.

74

D2 LoD final patch was also better than D3 on launch so what makes you think that D4 on launch should be way better than D3 RoS S28?

D4 is just getting started people and IMO it’s starting from a much better base than it’s predecessors.

75

To be fair that has been Blizzards MO since at least WoW in 2004. Keep the graphics down so potato PC:s can run the games and make it easier/less grindy than the main competitors.

76

What I didnt like about D4 is that it is not fast paced action like D3.

No shot. DIII is one of the worst ARPG’s ever made; that’s not hyperbole. Every character is the same, Itemization is garbage, there is little to no control over the builds you can use – the game holds your hand and dictates how you play it.

You hit 60; then you complete the season journey, you switch to the build the set requires, and then you use the over powered set to speed farm the best version of the meta set. The whole time farming unlimited paragon and dumping all your points into main stat since main stat. Main stat determines your survivability and your damage.

Unlimited paragon means even unoptimized players with trash gear can eventually complete 150 Grifts because power scaled predominately off main stat.

Take it from the dude who Ran Rift it Forward and was the leader of the biggest clan of Diablo III – they game was OBJECTIVELY bad. Blizzard agrees, which is why they cancelled the second expansion pack, tried to salvage the content by releasing the Necro pack and moving all of the second XP’s development into Diablo Immortal.

The only people who like DIII, are people who don’t know how to play Diablo.

Diablo IV on the other hand… well that game is actually a master piece. There is tremendous amount of player agency required to min/max, gear is interesting, all of the best things from DIII are carried over into DIV like Legendary Gems [Known as Glyph’s in DIV] greater rifts [Known as Nightmare Dungeons in DIV] – The best parts of the mystic are still intact with the occultist.

Gems are better – we get to use them now because they moved the legendary gems into the paragon board.

The graphics are better.

The build diversity is better.

The gear is better.

The skill trees are better.

Paragon is better.

Your ability to character plan is better.

Optimal Routes are better [and getting better via patches.]

It’s just objectively better.

What was the word you used? Hyperbole, pretty much sums up your entire post.

The only thing I like about diablo III is that it is fast paced action but I dont like, that a lot depends on how many paragon points one has.

80

You are wrong. Just accept it.

There is no unlimited paragon. Paragon 20k is the cap. At least try to get the fact right before making your point. :yawning_face:

Wrong again. They canceled the second expansion because Diablo 3 has no MTX to generate steady revenue, and that is why they were making sure DI and D4 has MTX now.

2012 VS 2023. You don’t say?
