I am already a little bored with my Barb and he is only level 46 but did finish the campaign and have started a Rogue who is in his mid 20s I think.
Leveling alt is much easier with a mount

Completed campaign and did a bit of grinding and ditched the Druid. Grinding a new one (barb) just doing dungeons. Went from 1 to 35 yesterday doing so

If you're using Hydra the frost Nova Enchant is great... at 30% with the hydra throwing 3 shots at a time it almost continuously procs.

Quick tip to turn off the "I need more time" character voice error:
Options>Sound>Play Audio on Error>Off

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I remember that Diablo III had a really cool (I think official) website that, once you were logged in, you could see your characters and their build/gear. Is there anything like that for Diablo IV?

Servers too laggy for me tonight. About a second or so of lag spikes. Enjoy the game too much to let the battles get dictated by lag.

This game runs tremendously well on PC.
Medium/high settings at native res on the steam deck was not something I was expecting, even at 40fps. This game puts the 4090 to sleep, even with everything dialed up at 4k.
It's nice to see this after some of the shitshows we've been subjected to this year. Having a blast alternating between this and SF6 at the moment.

You've uncovered the whole map but you haven't figured that out yet?
Answer is yes 
Sorc at level 38, still on Act 1 lol. Been playing on World Tier 2 from the start, difficulty feels right. Got a legendary amulet that immediately made it's power felt once I equipped it:
-10.7% resistance to all elements
- 6.5% mana cost reduction
- 1 rank all mastery skills
- 1 rank all defensive skills
- basic skill gains 26% attack speed
And I got a legendary pants drop 2 minutes later

Really? When I tested it in the beta it hardly proced because of the way lucky hit works with multihitting skills. Maybe they changed it?

I feel like double swing with Barb might be getting slept on a little bit.
Its not as great for AOE clear but on single target or just that general cleave area in front of you.... if you combo that with Ground Stomp so you get the fury refund and then berserker rage and you can just absolutely melt elites.
Ive also got a legendary that makes deathblow do like 135% extra damage or something after spending 100 rage. So its zerker, ground stomp, spam double swing, deathblow. Pretty nasty.

I've run into it a few times, it's not bad, but the times I've been in it's been pretty empty. Had one or two run ins but other than that it's just another option to do somethings. I usually run in to do boss for whisper of trees and get out.
That Act V cinematic is one of the best long-cons I've ever witnessed in this bidness. Well freaking done Blizzard.
. . .having said that, the absolute breakneck speed of the last third of the game in terms of motivations and character development is ridiculous. I like the out of sequencing and non-linear way of doing the story too, but that needed a QA pass for darn sure.

Finished work! Time for some d4 grinding!

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
So…. Ended up being pretty disappointed with this game. I can’t really find any kind of build that I enjoy playing. Nothing is really clicking, kinda bored with it. Probably the worst thing though, is that it’s been running like dogshit on PS5. Constant stuttering and rubberbanding. Quite annoying to play tbh. I might actually bounce of this game… lol. Idk.

Just got the game last night, played for about 3 hours, and now its all I can think of. I'm really taking my time this time around compared to the Beta. Mained Necro again, started on WT2 and its definitely harder than the Beta. Quite like the challenge, so I think I'm sticking to this for now.

Not sure how to check my time played, but this game has consumed me since night 1 of the early access. I can't recall the last time I've put this many hours into a new game. It definitely passes the test of knowing you have something special on your hands - do you think about playing it when you're not? Oh, most definitely.
About to finish the campaign on a level 45 WW Barb after ditching a level 26 Druid and no regrets. I've stuck to WT1 and have felt like I'm playing on God Mode for the last few hours. I've gotten some pretty great legendary drops aspect-wise and it's been just effortless decimation of everything...I figure the endgame will be a struggle so I'll enjoy the power trip while I can. But yeah, it's been so much fun so far - graphics, audio, presentation, gameplay, even story, it's checking all the boxes for me. I'm hoping the endgame grabs me as much as playing through the campaign has.

Wolves, creeper, landslide. Got some +companion and poison damage gear and recently picked up a couple nice landslide legendaries. Creeper does insane AoE, wolves can take a huge chunk of elite health and both have somewhat short cooldowns that with good luck on procs from druid boons can be available again much sooner/instantly. Building resource for a few landslides fits nicely between pets tearing stuff up.
Edit: I like being a melee caster with pets.

Well, this is an alt so I had all the boosts from lilith statues and renown that skews my damage output higher than a brand new character.
I think I had +10-15% poison which doesn't sound huge but it's boosting creeper's passive aoe that's in the hundreds and active aoe that's around 1600 at level 34(?). I also have bounced between +1 to +3 companion skills that are also maxed. The active ability binds everything in a decent circle and does a poison dot and there's a talent that boosts critical strike against enemies bound by the creeper by 20% which synergizes well with the boon that reduces pet cooldown with lucky hit; especially with bigger pulls. Elites/bosses die fairly quickly but I'm not melting them. I use storm strike to make tougher enemies vulnerable and smack them with landslides and wolves.
I started at t2 and had no problem clearing anything but decided to drop down to t1 to fight the world boss a few hours ago and didn't bother putting it back up. I couldn't quite completely facetank a t1 Butcher but I was never close to dying. Probably could've killed him in t2 with a little kiting.

I don't think it's based on lucky hit now.. different sites say both ways.. I notice a huge difference.

Sitting at work, thinking about playing Diablo 4.
Definitely wait for a sale. If you buy this game now, you are basically responsible for the downfall of the whole industry.

Not a pvp fan, but do you get more xp in that zone, or is it just for the extra challenge?In a party withAntwix and 2 other gaffers farming the PvP zone for EXP, minding our own business, when some dumbass sorc comes and tries to gank us. We fucked her up real good.

There's really high mob density in there and frequently recurring events as well as special chests. Very enticing.
You can totally just farm there peacefully but be prepared to defend yourself if someone flags hostile and comes for you.

Lol, level 20 and the skill that improve the dogde in various way are the more useful for now.
Right now i have one that shorten the cooldown the more you attack, you can almost play like an action game this way.
On the negative side, tonight there was a lot of lag and rubber banding and the character just freezing on ps5, they must solve this shit asap, the game has no discount anywhere so everyone paid full price for it, it should be fucking pristine.

Also, thanks for the carry into T4. Those ancient nightmares were fun and annoying at the same time. Been trying to level up in T4 to be able to do the nightmares more efficiently. Hard to go back to T3 since they don't drop ancients and seems like a waste of time now.

Do the dungeons where you get aspects, the game turn harder inside them and there are a lot of them to do.

Pretty tasty! And the feeling of imminent doom and/or righteous retribution make it very exhilarating haha. You should come with us next time. In a party of 4, it's almost impossible to get ganked.
You're welcome!
True, the gear is quite nice *chef's kiss*

Really early on so far but just storm strike and lightening storm.
The aim is to get each class to level 10 and then decide which one I'm sticking with for my first run based on how much I'm enjoying it.
