first character I made was a Sorceress because I was most worried about how the controller would work with that class. Worked a lot better than I expected.

Heard reports of people getting the PS4 version installed instead of the PS5 one so it essentially gives you the PS4 Pro options which aren't as impressive. Could be the cause behind it, could be optimization needed before launch, or just a limitation with how they're running things

On PC Controller seems to be the vastly superior option since you can bind buttons directly instead of having to hit an F key and then hit right mouse.

This game is 100%ing my RTX 3090 so it would seem there's some optimizations left to do before release.

This is so fucking great. All of these years being brutalised by PoE and D3 made me forget how much pure fun Diablo is.

You’ll keep the progress for the next beta next weekend. Then lose it at launch. If you’re new, use this time to mess around with the different classes with no fear of screwing up skill/stat allocation

I hadn’t played this game since OG launch and I was too busy to like no life it. I forgot that the enemy AI is not mindlessly zerging like in D3. Shit is actually dark and challenging.

So, controller support is overall superior for my Paladin at least. One press skills, auto sort for inventory, able to use potions with the press of a button whether they are in your belt or in inventory, and using analog stick to move and dodge around just feels better. Being able to do a normal attack at the press of a button when a normal enemy does not require my sacrifice skill is awesome. Also, pressing Y to immediately switch to my bow feels better than finding a certain key on the keyboard. When I want more precise controls for inventory, I just grab my mouse. Best of both worlds.
Edit: Also, being able to walk or run with the analog stick instead of toggling or holding cntrl is nice. For people who don't know, as a melee character you want to walk when in proximity of attacks since when you run, your defense drops to zero.

Nope, you'll keep it for the next beta on the 20th but everyone starts fresh at launch on September 23rd. And yes, it's crack.

Works for me. It's a hilarious way to see the difference in visuals. Maybe look at your keybinds...

Anyone using their Dualsense on PC? Mine isn’t working so I resorted to my old Xbox controller.
I am pretty impressed with the additions they added for the controller though I would like to have my right joystick navigate menus and my left for moving, there is an option to change the primary joystick for both but not separately so I can’t do what I described.

Check your Resolution Scaling, and make sure it's at 100%. This game runs at a million frames per second, for me.
So far, I'm super impressed with it. Diablo 2 is my most-played game of all time, by a LOT, and this is pretty much exactly what I wanted.
The only things I would change so far are as follows:
- In the menu system, "Tab" needs to switch to the next entry box. It's damn-near game-breaking at the moment.
- Modern games use "Tab" to open inventories, rather than "I." It's kinda tough to get used to the old method again.

I've been curious about this. How does something like blizzard or meteor (or similar) work with a controller? Like how would you cast it in a specific spot?
DavidGzz
Member
When you're moving you see which enemies are highlighted. It's very intuitive. Same for using a bow. Works so well. Controller support is better than mouse and keyboard since it feels more modern. Purists would have a fit if they changed things with mouse and keyboard which is holding it back. It needs one press skill binds on PC, for sure. I hope they add that in the full release.

Anyone figure out how to auto fill your tomes with scrolls at the vendor on console?

Diablo has always been great on a controller. Even the first game on the PSX.
DavidGzz

Hmmm, I loved it on the PSX but it wasn't great with no analog sticks. It worked though lol. This and D3, however, work perfectly.
The ability to use skills at a press of a button, the auto sort in the inventory, etc are awesome for console gamers. Wish they had those options for mouse and keyboard. It's essentially better with a controller with this game and that shouldn't happen.

Yup. I played D1 on PC, but decided to rent Diablo on PS1 for the heck of it. It looked great and somehow it worked well on a dpad. Even using a bow worked well. I think the graphics were zoomed in a bit more too making everything look bigger.

So, people can call me crazy but the sounds and graphics are soo good that I'm just walking in many areas where I'm not in a rush. I'm in one of the mausoleums taking my time. Loving this. I'm one of the few that loved the pace of D1 so walking suits me just fine. Soaking it all in.
I love that with a controller, when you're in melee, you don't have to turn your character to his each enemy, he will do it on his own and even take a step or two towards them when you attack. Of course, you can take control to aim at certain ones if you want.

Absolutely not no, on any level
Not a fan at all of these new graphics outside of the effetcs tbh, like the whole violent dark fantasy vibe just isn't there with these on and thats purely because of the blood's rendering, dunno why they didn't go over the top like in the original.
Also the game is fucking old and it shows at a pure gameplay perspective

Is there an option to turn the UI transparent?
Spukc
always chasing the next thrill
AutoMap can go small left right and transparent.
but not UI in any way i think.
It is wildly different with a gamepad tho.
Give that a try.
I think using those F keys is dumb as hell in KBM mode
Remove that shit. i want my d3 style with moves on inputs shown.

Nope, everyone starts fresh at launch.
So, on Xbox, if you want to look at legacy graphics, you hold left trigger and press select or the options button.

What a load of shit. Pisses me off they said 4K 60 for ps5 when we get 30fps, or 60fps at what looks like 1080p.

This is good. I think I'm just gonna try the classes to blood raven to see which gels with me. I tried paladin first.
Question: I unlocked my 'Prayer' skill on Paladin and bound it to RB. Its like a HoT buff but I couldn't see how to 'deactivate' it. It healed me to full capacity but didn't stop, just kept draining mana but I couldn't manually stop it either by hitting RB again. The only way I could stop it was to activate another buff?

Yeah that's what he meant, I was in the same situation, there was a demo of diablo 3 on ps3 I didn't know the sage tried it loved it bought it on pc.
I wanted to play the second but it didn't ran good so I didn't but now that remastered version is really interesting as well as D4 hoping that those departures doesn't development hell.
