I’ve played Diablo since the day the first one came out. I really loved D2, hated D3 at first until they fixed a whole bunch of things (looking at you real money AH) and have just completed the main campaign in D4.
I do miss my superspeed WW barb from D3, I mean just absolutely blitzing a dungeon in under 20 seconds was always a ton of fun, but I’ve really come to enjoy the world building and story of D4 a lot. The mechanics are definitely pretty different in some aspects but I find that being forced to slow down and just actually enjoy the world is pretty great.
Looking forward to capstones, whispers, etc. and getting further into it. Are there issues with it? Sure, of course there are, but I think that things can only go up from here!
I’m also having a blast. Just finished my capstone dungeon, as well as a couple of Nightmare Dungeons. The transition to Sacred gear is pretty rough, but not hard. But when you get the a couple of Sacred slots filled, it’s pretty easy.
It’s essentially a better Lost Ark, IMO. Same systems, but a way better method of implementation. My friend put it to me this way, “This is Dablio 3”, in referring to Diablo 4.
Diablo 3. Lol.
