Since I have separate Diablo 4 licenses for my Xbox and PC, I decided to setup another account solely for the Xbox.
I had to start over from scratch. No renowns, no horse etc. It’s tough because a lot of things you take for granted in every new seasons or alts aren’t available.
On top of the that, I wasn’t fond of the campaign story even in day 1. Repeating it for the 3rd time (1st from softcore, 2nd with hardcore, and 3rd this second account).
I am on Act V of the campaign now. The part where you deal with snakes. My account leveled to 25 and that’s with the help of my main account.
So it’s even tougher and tedious if I started from scratch without the help of my main account.
So if you are planning to do the base game campaign plus the VoH game campaign, maybe it’s better to do the base game campaign now.
Oh yeah I had to do everything in WT2. Game won’t allow me to jump to WT3 yet even though my primary account can because this second account hasn’t finished the campaign yet.
After this the dreaded renown and dungeons.
Edit: I did all these because I got bored with Last Epoch’s endless mono without seeing much reasonable gear upgrades.
i would say its more tedious than tough, unless the player have all the mood to immerse into the story again and explore every lilith statue.
It was mindnumbingly easy even on my first playthrough (S2, WT2). I did most quests in Fractured Peaks and from there on it was easy. Astaroth battle was so disappointing. Then it gets even worse - monsters are capped at level 50, but not player, making him a god far from campaing end. What a terrible design.
Also, my first playthrough was as a barb. I didn’t know that all weapons give me bonus even when I don’t use them (who on Earth would expect such a silly idea), so I only wore my 2-handed sword. Game was easy even so.
The only difficult parts were a few early strongholds. I needed to level up some more to before I managed to finish them.
This has to be a troll thread.
Actually, any new character that starts the campaign has to finish it prior to wt3, account status be damned.
No, I think readers are getting hung up on the word “tough” in the title.
Reading the actual post, it’s clear what OP means is that it’s “boring”, i.e. it’s “tough” to have to redo the campaign + renown. Soul-draining.
Of all the things to skip … you opted to not watch the cinematics the first time through the campaign? You know you paid money for those cinematics, right? Thats like … not eating the free bread at the fine dining restaurant
