Diablo 3 feels better

This beta made med try D3 season 28, trillion damage sorc is silly but more fun then D4… still i do expect that D4 will turn into D3 at endgame.

So i created a new toon in D2, Druid and it’s actually fun right out of the bat. Only lvl16 but running zoobuild do recommend.

Diablo 3 ACT 1 had way more area diversity than this…this is just ‘sharper’ but actually worse texture graphics

Just one question, have you actually played diablo 3 when it came out? I am really wondering after reading this statement :smiley:

You realize D3 act one was 1/4 at release right? D4 act one is 1/6.

Diablo 3 act one had

  • Gloomy forest overworld
  • Catacomb dungeon
  • Castle overworld
  • Open field overworld
  • Cave dungeon
  • Slightly different gloomy forest with ruins added overworld
  • Ruins dungeon
  • Ruins but with spiders dungeon
  • Rocky cave dungeon
  • Torture dungeon

Diablo 4 act one

  • Snowy overworld
  • Snowy ruins overworld
  • Fortress dungeon
  • Tundra (I think that’s what its called) overworld
  • Pine forest overworld
  • Mining cave dungeon
  • Underground castle ruins dungeon
  • Horadric ruins dungeon
  • Snowy mountains/cliffs overworld
  • Snowy corrupted forest dungeon
  • Karst/limestone cave dungeon
  • Chapel dungeon
  • Ice cave and ice cavern dungeon (Putting the two together because they are very similar)
  • Torture dungeon
  • Catacomb dungeon
  • Cultist hideout dungeon
  • Fortress/hideout ruins dungon
  • Icy ruins dungeon
  • Bloody/demonic ruins dungeon

If we get this much variety in all 6 acts. Ill very much be satisfied.

i just hope d4 has a better engine than d3.

see what happens in d3 with (not even huge) density and area damage:

the pausing is the only thing saving the day lol… and you cant pause in d4 :slight_smile:

*thats the freshest season too. not old footage. engine is just terrible.

couldnt disagree more

but you havent seen the paragon boards yet.

comparing D4 lvl 25 combat and D3 end game content? Must be D3 fanboy. JK.

You can’t rly compare those and imho there is no way that d3 is somehow better than D4.
D4 actually looks like better version of D3 with MMO-aspects which could take it to another level.

I think, and we can agree to disagree, but if we have to have the paragon boards in play and in use AND be at max level to address many of the issues that are experienced in the early-mid and leveling process then i would say that IS a problem that should be addressed.

I see many arguments on the forums saying, and paraphrasing here from others: ya the skill tree is a twig and your limited on choice in the tree but thats is ok because once you reach max level you can spend XX amount of time grinding for gear, legendaries, and augments/powers to make it “usable/functional”.

Those kind of points “make” my point because they concede the argument when they admit things are fine “WHEN” you have the gear, legendary, and augment powers. In other words: they are “Not” fine without them.

Using end-game as being balanced as justification for a poor early/mid game experience is a terrible design and even worse a terrible play experience.

Does it have to be perfect, no, but the tree itself should offer real choice, real variety in a base build while exploring and leveling until you get to end game. Then at the end game they can add another layer on that: legendary and augment powers and yes, even the paragon board.

I actually do think the tree has a lot of choice. I just think that the legendaries can dictate how you build. Thats what I dont like about it. Some of those aspects should have been in the tree IMO. As for the paragon board… that starts at 50. There are 100 levels so you arent waiting until the end to start that process.

Lost me at D3 better graphics… D4 character models is not even a contest, armor looks great and hopefully they dont start adding tacky butterfly cosmo wings

completely agree, spend $100 on a game then have to spend more later for trash. give me what i paid for don’t charge more for extra stuff that should already be in the game if it exists.

Sadly we must wait 5+ years till they polish the game.
Combat fluidity, animations and hit reg of skills feels so bad its insane.
Cant believe it took them 9 years to release this unpolished garbage.
Feels like “Diablo : Immoral” with some poop sprinkled around.

D3 in it’s current state feels a thousand times better than D4. it’s just a fact.

if you don’t think so then you either haven’t played D3 in a long time, haven’t played D3 ever, have no idea what state D3 is currently in, or are level 27 and still in the honeymoon phase.

I really prefer the combat in Diablo 4. Diablo 3 is quite boring for me.

+1

The awful new itemization system is the most off putting thing for me. I don’t understand how they could think it was a good idea…

+1 in terms of “mage”; there’s no comparison between wizard and sorceress. The disappearance of the arcane branch is inconceivable. I had hoped to see abilities like black hole, disintegrate, archon, etc. in this graphics and atmosphere, less fantasy and more visceral. The sorceress is ridiculous in itself, and once I finish the campaign, I will uninstall the game.

I didn’t even think of that but you’re right. How did a complete school of magic totally disappear lol
