Diablo 4: where should the end points be?

Posted: 23 Jul 2020 04:15 PM PDT

One of the things I have enjoyed about certain ARPG's over the years is that feeling you have reach the top of the mountain and feel 'godly'.

Often there were multiple peaks to reach but each one felt rewarding to attain:

Complete the story
Defeat Hell difficulty
Finish a build
Reach level 99
Find a perfectly rolled item or set of items

Diablo 3 in many respects blurred the lines of accomplishment and butchered the moments where you felt you had reached the mountain top:

Story

Very short
Poorly written and very cartoon like
Wasn't challenging enough to feel like it mattered

Inferno mode

Wasn't properly balanced on release
Far too many inferno levels diminishing any sense of accomplishment

Completing a build/Finishing a character

Instance access to every skill and no talent tree removed any sense of permanence and character identity
No reason to re-roll a class outside the start of a new season
Items define almost every build and contribute almost all of the power

Reaching max level

Max level was the 'starting point' not a journey in itself
Far too easy to speed level which resulted in short term gratification at the expense of a feeling of accomplishment and pride
Paragon extended max level into infinity - you can never reach the peak

Endless dungeons

There is no max dungeon level
Made worse by Paragon levels which removes any ceiling

Item hunt

Itemisation was and continues to be a major issue
Items are the 'build' and the power level between them is far too large
Items before reaching max level in most cases are trash
Sets dominate the game and remove the sense of wonder and creativity

Do you think Blizzard understands that in an ARPG each of these elements need to be a Mountain Top that reward different types of players?

Do they understand that having 'end points' in an ARPG is critical to creating a sense of accomplishment and the reason to start the game over (replay-ability)?

Do Blizzard know the difference between an ARPG and an MMORPG?

What should it look like?

Story

The first peak to climb
Long enough and challenging enough to feel like the admission price was worth it. For the casual gamer, if they stopped now the $50 USD they spend was worth every penny.
The story was epic
With an open world, you might have to go a little sideways for awhile to overcome some challenges, but the side quests are surprisingly enjoyable and you are back on the main path pretty quickly
Good point to re-roll another class and do it all again. In fact it was so fun you are now in inner turmoil about which class to try next!

Hell/Inferno

The second peak where most casual players end the journey
The 'old school' feeling like you have clocked the game on 'hard mode'
Difficult and time consuming but not impossible. You have given up once or twice but something keeps compelling you to come back.
Balanced so that you are not pigeon holed into a select few builds to get the job done
The road to completion has taken you off the path and you have explored much of the open world to help you attain the skills and items needed to clock the game on Hell difficulty.
You might need a week-off the game but you are excited to come back and try it all over again with a new class or variation of the same class. You know it can be done a little faster and you will make smarter choices with your talent points next time.
You can still enjoy the games content with friends who have been playing much longer as the power level difference between you isn't insurmountable (30-50%).

Finishing a character

The third peak where 95% of players have now reached their mountain top
Hell mode is getting much easier and you feel 'godly' powerful at level 92
The optional side quests, hidden areas and end game bosses are all behind you. But, there is enough variation that you are not bored you just want to try it a different way.
Your character has its own unique identify that you have slaved over "you are now an accomplished "Hammerdin" or "Fireball Sorceress"
You can speed run the most challenging content but you still have to be careful as the big bosses can still catch you off guard. You know if you push on there is approx. 20-30% more efficiencies that could be made but you have achieved your desired goal for now.
Its time to re-roll a new character maybe the same class but with a different focus

Reaching max level

One of the highest peaks to climb
Its been a slog and many hundreds of hours have been invested but you know only 5% of players will make a max level character
You swear 'never again' but deep down inside that internal challenge has now been set
Even though the power level difference might only be marginal from level 95 to 99 you know talent points matter and everyone does make you more powerful
There is little more you need to do on this character and its now a walking trophy you can show off to others.
Time to take a break and come back and do it all again soon

The Eternal item hunt

The Everest - the hardcore 1%
Your items are near perfect and you have been at max level for sometime. Probably have multiple characters near max level also....
You are 'god tier' and very little in the game can threaten your supremacy but there are still small efficiencies (5-10%) to be found
You might only be 20% more powerful than someone that has invested a third of the time on their character but its perfection that drives you and its more than enough to show them who is boss in PvP
You are dedicated to your Bowazon and know its the niche in this game you want to play for another 1000 hours. No other Bowazon is like you and your character is the image you want to project to others in the game
You are after the ultra rare drops and not worried if its not for your current spec as you can find someone to trade with and/or use it on another character
The thrill of the hunt drives you on and while you have explored every inch of the open world the variation in its replay-ability keeps it interesting.

[Diablo 1] Can't Alt+Tab out of game...crashes when I do ctrl+alt+tab

Posted: 23 Jul 2020 03:56 PM PDT

No idea why this is happening. I'm trying to play vanilla D1 on Windows 10, and it works fine except that I cannot do anything else other than play D1. If I do manage to somehow minimize it, it just crashes. Any idea why this is happening? I also cannot get it to play in windowed mode. For reference, I am using the old, original install from the CD, not the GOG version.

There was another thread about this on this subreddit, but it it didn't help fix my issue.

GR 115+

Posted: 23 Jul 2020 02:04 PM PDT

This is my first season so I'm still not sure where all to be looking, I've been trying in game to find some groups to push with. But I've mostly played solo. 3.4m sheet and only just now realizing groups means wayyy better gear. 😅 Anyone down for some GR's?

Diablo 3 Zones with Music from D2 (Video Examples)

Posted: 23 Jul 2020 07:14 AM PDT

I recorded some footage of D3 and edited it a bit with Movie Maker, by making it darker and putting some of Diablo 2's music on it.

Maybe you find the change of atmosphere that this created enjoyable:

Tristram Cathedral with the 'Monastery' Soundtrack from D2

Tower of the Damned & Azmodan Fight with the 'Hell' Soundtrack from D2

Ruins of Sescheron with the 'Harrogath' Soundtrack from D2

Bonus: Festering Woods with Ambient Sounds from Diablo 4

Thoughts? Feedback?

Would you have liked it if D3's Soundtrack would have been more dark and ambient? Or would you like that we could import our own music files into D3 and D4?

Entire PC crashes in the cathedral

Posted: 23 Jul 2020 03:24 AM PDT

Hi,

I've played Diablo 3 years ago and I created my last character around last year, when I still had Windows 8.1 installed.

2 weeks ago I bought the necromancer DLC and started playing again.

But everytime I play the cathedral-level, my entire computer would freeze...where the screen just becomes one color (I already had light green, yellow and white) and the last sound, that was playing, get's looped over and over again, until I manually reset my entire computer.

It's never a specific place oder event, that triggers the crash...and so it will just happen randomly. I think I remember, that I finished the first level of the cathedral and then teleported back to the village and it still happened.

I couldn't find any specific origin of this crash. I updated all drivers (I hope I got all) and I even made a stress test and constantly checked the heat and none of these things were the culprit.

(The game never crashes on games like "Sims 4" or "Cities Skylines" (with tons of mods), that produce far more heat than Diablo 3)

I already started it in compatibility mode (Windows 8) and checked for updates on the game itself and on the Battle.net -launcher. I checked, if some files were missing, but everything was alright.

Strangely enough, a day before I reinstalled Diablo 3, I installed "Darksiders 2" and "Orcs must die 1" and these are the only other games, where the exact same problem occurred.

I hope someone here might be able to help me, or at least push me in the right direction.

Need help with Conquest

Posted: 23 Jul 2020 01:46 PM PDT

I made a demon Hunter this season and can easily do a GR 85, but I have only managed to do 1 conquest so far The Thrill.
I tried to do Speed Demon solo bu always end up using 2:20 of time.
With the Curses I tried to follow guides from youtube but I have a hard time getting the Curse chest pop up in Paths of the Drowned.

I would like to do the conquest solo if I can help it.

Is there a better class to do the other conquest such as Speed Demon, or another better suited build for Demon Hunter?

Tips for having more control over where leap lands on PS4?

Posted: 23 Jul 2020 09:54 AM PDT

First time playing in years, I played on PC back when the AH was still a thing until my PC took a crap back in like 2016.

Surprisingly not that bad playing on console, but the controls are still a bit wonky. My biggest problem right now is that now that I'm getting into torment 16, a simple mistarget can be an instant death for me and it's a little hard controlling where you land with leap when things get hectic since you can't click. I've kind of adopted a kiting strategy and I can usually just watch everything melt in my earthquakes without getting hit but every now and then I accidentally leap the wrong way and end up smack dab in the middle of 3 elite packs. Which is... generally bad for your health.
