So what was the boss spawn issue? I hadn’t actually been on yet today I’m hoping to catch the boss fight at some point though

This must be some weird PC bug then? I am on PS5 and had 0 stutters or any weird visual bugs. I am gonna assume due to a wide range and variety of different hardware on PCs the game will run into weird issues. Probably just a matter of bug fixing and proper driver updates come launch.
I am on a 1660 Ti so I refuse to play any new or upcoming games on PC. Only use my PC for work. The only game I play on my PC when I have the have the time is WoW.

Pre-ordered but never got a code. Is it too late now?

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
dunno what you mean by that
(not counting btw the 45+ legendary items i have in my stash but too bothered to log in again)

Yep, no jokes. I was already full legendary equipped yesterday a couple of hours in

Legendary drop rate is definitely too high.
Unless there is something above legendary :O
I'm sure they'll tweak it
The design is quite good on the armor and the graphics in general are very impressive for an isometric game. The fact that they can get away doing cutscenes with the same graphics is even more impressive.
Going to force myself to stop otherwise I will burn the whole weekend try different classes. I worry for my free time in June (also Street Fighter 6, it's going to be rough).

How are you getting so many? Doing dungeons? I finished the story at lvl 24 and I have only gotten like 10 legendaries.

Couch co op works on PS5, just played an hour with my son. Nice how they split loot, he kept grabbing everything but it puts my loot in my inventory even when he grabs it. I don’t remember how it worked in D3.
Honestly after last night I woke up anxious to play more. Feels great, I’m in love with the art and atmosphere. Played sorcerer last night up to level 15. Started a rogue this morning am only level 5. Haven’t quite figured out the figure but I love how fast it is.

It is a beta folks. I don't even believe the leveling rate that is in right now is where it will be at launch. The alternative is a ton of forum posts in varying degrees of "Oh my god, legend drop rate is so low. Pay to play incoming! Ugh! Lulz modern gamez!"
I have no idea about UK time but originally she was supposed to spawn at 1EST, but was in fact at 2EST. So just add one hour to whatever the original tweet times were. I doubt I'll grind fast enough for the evening spawn, but looking to get some play in and tackle the late night one. Definitely going to be server hopping though as there were no where near enough good DPS (including myself) in my server.

gambled them and got 1 legendary every 3 purchases. Sometimes 2 legendaries in a row.

I really wasn't expecting it to be this good, it's basically d2 revamped and a true sequel to it. I'm really surprised

same here. At least I got the world event earlier

Yeah but I'm sure they want us to test legendary powers in the beta and max level on the beta is 25. The full game loot balance will most likely be very different.

Nice! Fucker didn’t spawn for me. Sad times.

Overall impressions after lvling sorc to 20 and trying a bit of barb and rogue.
- graphics, art design, sound design - all top notch
- great combat feel from all 3 available classes, barb is meaty, sorc spells are flashy
- UI on consoles is crap, somehow way worse than d3, certainly needs an overhaul before release
- world seems huge, lots of side activities
- skilltree is underwhelming, barely any customizability, maybe the variety comes from gearing later on
Definitely worth buying, but it won't replace Path of Exile as the best ARPG for me. Not enough depth.
Good casual hack'n'slash, nothing more, nothing less.

I find this very interesting - I am playing on PS5 so obviously.my controls are defaulted to a controller. 2 of my friends have high end rigs 2ith 3070s and 3090s and play most games on their PCs.
But here is the kicker, they are both using a controller for Diablo IV and saying it feels amazing and more fun to play. It's so funny how Diablo seems to just feel more satisfying on controller even for PC players.
Does anyone else share same sentiment?

Yes, PC and a pad on the couch all day long.
Nope. Well other than all of your equipment breaking.
Yes. Though they need to use the actual icons. Using a Dualsense, you'd think they'd go with the pure white icons like they do in other games, but for some reason they color them. I kinda get why, but it clashes with the rest of the UI which I think is actually good on the PC; no idea why they didn't just use the PC controller UI for the consoles (it is different although not even close to being "mobile inspired").

I guess this is Diablo 3 people wanted all along after Diablo 2.

I liked the controls in D3 for consoles, and it seems like D4 is leaning towards that. Still nice to play with mouse/keyboard, so win/win.

The game runs great on a GTX 1080. I had some texture pop in on cutscenes. The game goes a good job of scaling things.
I am now at level 13. I am doing side dungeons and side quests. The Act I boss seemed too tough.
If you are a Sorcerer, definitely get chain lightning. It is great for crowd control. You can spam it and kill a bunch of monsters at once.

Just came by to say porting to town erases the instance when you return. That’s frustrating.
Edit: I actually ported back and forth a few times to no Boss, and just now ported and it was there again actually. I don’t think it was the same one I was fighting though!

Yes I would have kept playing the console version of Diablo 3 if it wasn't for all the hackers. Controller play feels amazing, maybe even better in this than in D3.

PoE runs circles around it and its not even close. The "dungeons" are also hilarious in their variety, as there's basically none of it, its constantly the same backgrounds. Like even Torchlight had that on lock way back then, if you're playing ARPGs since a long time you could see that D IV just offers absolutely nothing new
it is getting a pass because its called Diablo and lolrogue

Went to put myself in the queue, figuring I was gonna wait for at least half an hour and I logged in instantly. That was a nice surprise.

Dont think anybody expected 150 unique dungeon bosses in the game. Expect something similar like elden ring

Playing with a controller is quickly become my favorite way to play ARPGs.
