RE: PS4 : Diablo 3 : The Necromancer
I'm all about Path of Exile.
Diablo II was magnificent, but I hated what I was hearing about DIII, so I looked elsewhere.
I play hardcore only, so haven't managed to see all the content yet.
(dying means starting over with a noob).
I just find regular play a little low-stakes.
Ooo hardcore player - fancy!! 😜
I dont have the guts for that.
I'm a cruisey player. I'm not out for a heart attack.
Everyone who's played D2 seems to hate D3. Im lucky I havent played D2 lol Im really loving having Diablo to play with when Im having a shit day.
I'm no hater, but they pulled out a lot of customisation and put the game on rails. If you'd played D2, you'd know what I'm talking about.
The idea that all Lvl 59 witch doctors, without gear, are exactly the same?
From the start, you should be tailoring your character to be exactly what you choose. Hundreds of choices over stat points and skill point allocation; really investing you in the character.
I'm sure it's not all bad, and mixing up your gear is a way to customise, but PoE went in the opposite direction, and drowns you in choices.
Really buys you into the character.
Try a hardcore char. Just give it a shot, you might love it :)
As a D2 player that loves D3, I guess I'm unusual.
Having gone back to Path of Exile this month I'm enjoying it a lot more as they seem to have fixed their biggest issue they previously had. Certainly has massive customisability, but sometimes a lot more complex than necessary, and a lot of the choices are the same (+10 of one stat...) that you have to go through to get the stuff you actually want. It's real benefit is probably with the economy and the gems.
I like that they're different games though. I'm not always in the mood for all the options, and I certainly prefer the visuals in D3. PoE's look older, and much more like Torchlight 2 and Diablo 2 graphics, and while not the most important thing, certainly helps.
Speaking of T2, it's probably the closest to D2 in customisability. when you level, you add 5 points into your stats and 1 into your skills.
While I was certainly initially disappointed with the lack of this in D3, it really isn't that important, and the game is focused more on the equipment you find, as that is what actually customizes your character. To say 'without their equipment, they're all the same' removes a decent amount of the choices you make from being important. You still have skills to chose which to use, and passives to combine with them. Sure, it's less customizable, but how often do you really vary off the plan for a character? With D2 I found that most of my characters of a specific class ended up being pretty much the same stats wise, so don't really miss having to allocate them each time I level.
Gonna have to check out this T2 game. Is it couch co-op? 😁
I dont get the whole wd without gear thing.
For me D3 is all about the gear 😀 Got no gear youre screwed. I love the collecting part - it appeals to the hoarder in me hehe
So no. I wont be trying hardcore. I have this thing with investing love and energy into things I spend my time on.
Sk killed off my dragon on Steem Lords and I was upset for weeks.
I cant even imagine losing one of my characters.
Not sure if T2 is on console. It does have LAN or Internet multi player options though.
I like hardcore, but at the same time, I certainly don't get as invested in the characters.
Spew. Only got console.
Ohh.. I invest. I've got a WD thats 2 years old. Weve been through a lot... 😁
