I could be wrong, but aren't they only good for achievements(and their extra rewards if you do them all for one class/all classes) and season objectives?
Pretty much.
IIRC:
-There's achievements just for "Completing" them (Completion = Kill all Monsters and Complete 1 Primary Objective.)
-There's achievements just for Mastering them (Mastery = Kill all Monsters and Complete all Primary Objectives in the Time Limit allotted.)
For Completing them all for all classes (this isn't too bad), you get some Wings of the Dedicated. (The glowy Angel-like kind.)
For Completing/Mastering them all with a specific class, you get special Pennants. (The Pennants are based off the Class you did it for.)
For Mastering them all for ALL classes, you get Wings of Mastery. (Kinda like the Illidan wings.)
Then you get various Banner stuff just from getting a lot of those Achievements done.
I find I consistently choose between Bane of the Powerful, Bane of the Stricken, Bane of the Trapped, and Gogok of Swiftness.
Season doesn't end till near the end of the month so at least not until then. But soon!
Thanks!

Other damage gems to use are Zei's, Enforcer, or Simplicity's Strength if they fit your big damage attacks. Also, Pain Enhancer is great for IAS boosts against mobs.
For defense, Esoteric Alteration. Need more defense, you are probably doing it wrong.
A bunch of other gems are good for supports and farming.

Is the PS4 version actually superior to the PC version, if I only wanted to play solo? No offline mode on the PC version, right?

PC has no offline mode, that's correct. Which is better is still more a function of your PC IMO.

Went ahead and got the PC version. Super fun, but it seems pretty easy (for now), even on hard. Not really a complaint, I'm just surprised how quickly everything melts. Put in a good number of hours and I haven't even used a healing potion, playing as a Wizard.

feel free to up the difficulty if you want more challenge. that's why the feature is in the game!

you can't put a price on sparks
are all of the difficulty levels available on a new playthrough? i think he has to get through the story at least once for it all to open up more

I can crank it up one more level past hard, but I noticed the bonus experience goes from +75% to +100% and was, "ehh".
Ok, I'm going to try out expert.

Real challenge is once you hit lvl 70 and start doing Torment difficulties and Greater Rifts. Lvling up on Hard/Expert will always be easy with a bunch of legendary items and good(or even mediocre) rares.

There is little reason to start any char on a lower difficulty than expert, maybe even master depending on class.

Finishing up act 1 impressions...
Blizzard games are just so smooth, and this plays like a dream. I've put hundreds of hours into 1&2 (waited a long time to pull the trigger on this one, huh), and the flow of combat is as good as I'd expect.
That act 1 end cinematic was insane. The storytelling is pretty cheesy, but that was badass.
Enemy variety has been good.
Diablo loot is better than others that attempt to mimic it. I can't wait to see what drops, as opposed to something like Nioh (I love the game), where I feel overloaded at all times. Of course, Diablo 1&2 had way more trips to town to sell junk, so they improved things here.
For a negative, all the outdoor areas seem wide open, without much in them. Locations in Grim Dawn, for example, are dense, and feel more like places, rather than combat arenas. Interiors so far feel like square rooms and corridors.

You probably picked the best time to start in regards to loot. At launch the gameplay was decent, but the loot was terrible. The revamped systems, new legendaries with special powers and set items have made it a whole new game.
I think PoE captures the old magic of D2 better, but D3 is such a fun game now that I look forward to each season reset so I can grind out with a new character (or two if I get really sucked in).

Its crazy how expensive this game still is on PSN. Im too unsure Ill like it to ever buy it at a high price
Finished the stash journey for the first time, not sure why I didn't bother in previous seasons it wasn't that hard.

I have stopped collecting Death's Breaths from elites. It is kind of liberating. I think that will be my MO for non-seasonal and late season rift runs.
Pets need to pick up all the crafting tab items.

Someone should check for me if my monk is still on the leaderboards.
What do you find fun?
I only ever play seasonal, but adventure mode is where it's at. Basically no one does the campaign anymore outside going for the guaranteed crown off Leoric or needing to unlock adventure mode in non seasons. Just ask someone to power level you and then if you're in seasons do the journey to get your 6set bonus and go from there.
There's a "dungeon" for each set that your can enter if you have all the pieces on. It's basically just a challenge map where you have to kill all the mobs while meeting certain requirements. They suck ass for the most part.

Getting more powerful gear everytime and progress in greater rifts is what I liked before quiting.
Then get power leveled and go do that. May as well not do season since it ends right away and start again with the new season.
Been reading up on the state of Necromancer and it sounds like it's unbalanced in a weak kind of way and is being rushed for release. Ignoring exploits that make it invulnerable, it seems like it doesn't have enough damage mitigation for high GRs, and also does not have any effective movement travel options which makes it also bad for speed farming. Generally it feels like it's going to be like how Crusader was on release which was completely awful, but then they'll buff it up at the next patch after one whole season of sucking.
This wouldn't surprise me one bit.
Was this known? Necro Pack out on June 27th on PC/PS4/X1 for $15.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
What on earth made you expect that it would be?

Is the damage/toughness number given accurate as far as what is truly the best available equipment to use (2h vs DW, health vs other DR)? I'm mainly curious about 2h vs DW on my Barb. 2h has seemed the best so far, just playing solo and leveling up.
You'll have to wait until the season ends. All the things you did during the season gets transferred to non-season characters.

Ah sweet. This was my first time ever doing a season.
Friendly reminder we have a Diablo III-GAF Discord server that is, like all things Necromancer, both dead and alive at the same time!
Season 11 doesn't start until July 20th.
