Uh-fix, not aye-fix. 😂
You know funny enough I think I really like the more streamlined less grindy approach they are taking. I played LE for a bit and while I think it is definitely the better game for enthusiasts, the itemization and loot was a bit overwhelming and I got bored pretty quickly. I think I have to admit that for these types of games I definitely am more in the casual camp where I want to be able to level fast, kill a ton of stuff, unlock all the cool things at a relatively quick/easy pace and not have to go through and endless tedious rng based grind to get anywhere. So yea I think I will come back and give this game a try again. Gameplay was always solid its just the grind was so tedious and unrewarding. Also there was very little build variety so its looking much better now a year later.
it's a game for chads like us not salty old neckbeards who'd rather look at spreadsheets than actually play video games
The pre endgame gameplay is linda sleepy, lets gooooooo
@lordhandsomeswag1854 THAT'S a bit BLUNT, Chad, and yet, I, a punctuation-ladden, salty, neckbeard-adjacent type, call my "spreadsheet-habituation" = "dressing BARBIE" to mildly self-scorn the hours lost that COULD have been used performing Helltides and Whispers for obols and drops.
Codex of power change is everything. I’ll be back for this season
I enjoy your breakdowns, and previews. They’re more thorough, and include specific details.
nice video thanks
These changes are moving the right direction… I’m not sure I’ll roll up a new character though until the expansion.
Man, I'd wanna play again but after that grind before S1 to level 100, I'm completely burnt off
The grind is SO much better and easier now. Season 1 and before, it was a slog. They’ve buffed exp pretty much every season to make the climb much more palatable
The old 1 - 65/70 is 1 - 100 now. Might even be faster at this point i'm not positive
@@SirCalebEvans yeah, I know, I've heard that they've made it a lot better since s2 I believe, or maybe 1. But they broke me with that bs patch that made everything a lot slower, I was actually grinding to 100 at that exact point, was somewhere at 75ish, and not only did they make my life harder, but they reduced my sorcerer to crap. So after 100, and platinum, I never went back. Wanted to, but they just beat diablo oit of me. And I'm not the only one. All the friends I was playing with, none went back after the beginning of season 1
I never reached lvl 100 lol that’s why this season exists me!! I can finally hit lvl100 without grinding my life away lol
I hate the faster leveling, so you should love it. I can get 6-8 characters in to 100 in the same time period it took in S1.
Fextralife wee waiting for the all new coolest builds from you for season 4 d4
Awesome! I'm glad they're focussing on improving the base game, rather than seasonal content. I'm not the biggest fan of being forced to start a new char just to experience the latest ideas Creators are adding. So giving Eternal Realm players revamps is something I'm glad to see. As a newbie who's more casual than hard-core, I believe simplifying the itemization's great. Many times while playing, I'd find it difficult to decide what's actually better than what's already equipped. Keep it up, Blizzard! I'm looking forward to hopping back into D4. Cheers
I might actually come back to D4 Tbh
Don't
I just started the re download!!
Loving the new season so far!
Sounds like it may finally be time to come back to it.
A-FFIX and P-refix and S-uffix?
Im kinda waiting to see if the summer expansion isnt overpriced to get back into it.
Skipped S3, excited to see what S4 does for me. Competition is serious now with LE really shining, to me at least, and D4 needs to come out with some hay balers.
Hmm 🤔 I noticed how his screen at 0:15 has no HUD! Is this a new feature?
Oh BTW fextra you should check out V Rising on the 8th for its 1.0 launch. Its shaping up to be the best open world survival rpg to come out in years as well as the best vampire rpg ever. Would be cool to see some coverage and builds from you guys.
my biggest issue with this game has been almost entirely around the very few amount of abilities. there are like only 5 skills per build, meant to be used together.
makes my werewolf play exactly like any other werewolf.
I really need a new class i dont like any of the classes tbh i was hoping crusader type class would be here
Have they expanded the story at all yet? Or is it still where it left off from base game?
Well the seasons are post campaign and essentially the happenings after the events of the story, but will most likely get a cannon continuation when expansion is drops
Seems like it’ll be at least one more year until expansion
Gretting rid of sometime that took 70% of your time having to hunt for items with the right stats and affix is a major load off your shoulders.
I may try this season out. However, I'm not sure a build in this game will be able to keep me interested.
This season seems great but the season pass really turns me off
@killiandw as long as it's a season pass that just gives me cosmetics, I don't care too much. And as long as I can unlock it by playing the game and getting those coins like they did with the first season pass.
I might go back because the pit is permanent...me and my friends LOVED doing rifts
I’ll probably come back for season 5. Oh unless I’m busy play Elden Ring DLC….
How about the stash limit guys? I stopped playing after season 1 because I'm completely burned out because of the headache when it comes to organizing my stuff in the stash / inventory.
they made several changes to stash management after season 1, a lot of materials/gems etc no longer take up stash space, and as mentioned in this video you dont have to hold items to use their aspects anymore
@@daryno4267 thank you!
I have enjoyed Diablo 4 since it came out. This will be a nice change to the game. Looking forward to the expansion and better seasons.
Well, the gameplay loop is still gonna be the same. But I'm glad they're not abandoning the game
Jumped in to soon with this update and missed a bunch of the important stuff.
I'd love to see that blood mele class that's in Diablo Immortal. None of the current classes are particularly exciting to me at the moment
When they say those special 1.5x properties only appear on "Ancestral Legendary and unique items", I feel like that is poorly worded. Are they saying:
1) ANY unique can have them, and only ANCESTRAL legendaries can have them? Or are they trying to say
2) Only ancestral Legendaries and ancestral uniques can have them?
If it's the former, they should have said "Uniques and Ancestral Legendaries". If it's the latter, they should have said "ancestral uniques and ancestral Legendaries" just to make it clear.
I got bored and skipped out of season 3 there was just to much non sense gear I got annoyed so I'm looking forward to the changes in season 4
Does your character level reset when a new season starts?
I'm new to the game and we were mainly playing the story so far
Each season requires a new character
each seasonal character is a new character so your old season character goes into the main world.
you can still play characters from previous seasons, but they'll go into the main world and that character wont have access to any of the seasonal bonuses of future seasons. any character you make in season 4 will go into the main world when season 5 releases
From Elden Ring to Diablo 4 guides , sweet! Sweet guide improvements from Diablo 4
I like how people play 200 hours then turn around and say they don't like it 😂
If a game isn't good at 200 hours it's not good at all sorry
@@dougiefrizzle3718 There is noone in this world investing 200 hours in a videogame he/she doesnt like. They are just very pessimistic.
@BarryDeBeuker106 not sure what angle u have with the comment but sorta agree? I'm gons give this season a shot after nearly 3 seasons fully off so hope they don't let me down but I'm expecting to be hurt again
Its definitely the right direction ...good season and im having so much fun tbh
So is it the right time to play it now?
since you already bought the garbage why not ? don't waste your money
@@jamesyue1348 If it's garbage in your opinion, it's definitely not worth coming back... You can lose much worse things than money, e.g. time.
My friends and I are definitely going to have a ton of fun at HC this season.
@@makaron03 Enjoy your inflated ego in HC. Everything is so easy this season with all the buffs.
@@jamesyue1348 who are you tell someone to dont waste money? Maybe he has a lot of them and dont care.... for someone it is garbage for someone not
No, this game will never be good, ded game, don't even play it cause I said so.
I've never played a Diablo game before, is it worth giving this a try?
I never had and absolutely loved playing the story. Plenty to sink into! If you have gamepass 100%. If it’s not a type of game you usually play maybe grab it on sale
it's on gamepass if you want to give it a try
So I played about 20 hours on the PTR and it was great! There were some problems that I won't get into because they were fixed post PTR. So, I will instead concentrate on the experience with a few points:
1. The leveling experience is so fast now that some may find it too fast as it will push you very rapidly towards the end game, but I loved it.
2. Itemization is simpler to use, but not dumbed down. Yes items now will only have a few core and effective attributes, but the tempering system will allow for some very specific and robust class specific itemization that is much more determinative. You still have randomization in tempering, but all of the tempering recopies have a limited pool of selected abilities. These temperings are also VERY impactful.
3. All aspects going into the codex is AMAZING! The interface is a bit bare bones, but they have at least locked down being able to tag favorites. So, once you have decided what you want to play with, you can just imprint every new piece of gear you get. Done. And no hoarding items for aspects or the aspects themselves. It is just... gone. This more than anything is super empowering.
4. Loot now goes something like this - whites and blues (sell or crunch after level 10) yellows (sell or crunch after level 35) after that, you will only pick up yellows for crafting mats. Once you hit level 70 or so, you will have most of the core legendary items you want, so you will crunch them too and all you will keep after that is any legendary with a sun symbol indicating it has greater affixes. All of this funnels you into much more limited downtime reviewing items for viability. It is terrific.
5. Uniques - these in general feel underwhelming now because forging allows you to make much stronger items due to the total of 5 affixes you will have and two are always going to be focused on exactly what you want. Some uniques did well.. unique things.. that are still useful to a build or defined a build, but all the uniques that don't do this are going to need reworking (which they already acknowledged).
6. The pit - this was definitely too easy on PTR but they are addressing this so it is hard to say how it will feel in the live game, but it is greater rifts from D3 so base line it is fast and fun for me.
7. Helltide - this was the best part of the redux. I LOVE the new helltides. They are packed with enemies and the new GTA style wanted system ramps it up even farther.
8. DO NOT SLEEP ON OBOLS - at level 100, they produce level 925 gear AND that gear can have greater affixes. This will be one of the best ways to deterministically go for a perfect roll item for a specific slot because you are literally choosing the slot every time.
9. ARMOR CHANGE - one of the biggest changes in the patch notes is armor. The amount you need is now CAPPED at a little less than 10,000. This is VERY easy to do for most classes, so this will free up some paragon points, aspect slots, and affix choices because you will not need them as much any more. So, just like resistances, you just have to keep an eye on that cap, but in the late game it will largely be a non-issue.
There is so much more than this and I had a great time. However, if you hate D4 for any reason other than itemization or you find it too easy, I don't think this is going to change your mind about the overall style of the game. If you had some fun and are willing to give it a try again, you may have a great time. But if you go into this thinking it is a new game, it is not.
At 4:50 I swear you accidentally say 'secret erotic techniques' instead of 'secret Horadric techniques'. :D
I'm gonna give S4 a Chance.
Do i still i have to be online to play single player, despite downloading 90 gbs?
Unmark the high-rez graphics before installing and it'll be much less than 90 gb.
Do I have to pay to play seasons?
You can play the season for free but the battle pass you have to pay for . They have cosmetics only .
Started playing D2R again didnt give it a fair chance on launch and im not sure if this season will bring me back to d4. I dont hate d4 i maxed all classes this season despite it being the worst one so far. Man i missed out on d2 tho the end game item chasing and crafting is much better.
D2R was great. The game was actually fun back when I played it as a kid and now as well. D4 I didn't even finish the campaign it felt so uninspired.
Finally. I played at launch up until halfway through season 1 cause i wanted to puke having to deal with getting great gear late game. I already spent hoooouuuurs farming end game for gear, and couldn't do it again at season 1. The itemization changes are very welcomed and I will return and check the game out again with this change alone
All the other stuff seems cool too I guess
Hey ! Fixes !
I don't understand... Everyone keeps talking about season 4 like it hasn't dropped yet... According to the Game Pass version I have on Xbox, season 4 is the season of the construct and is currently live and ends some time in May... At least every time I've looked at it it says 4, and I look at it quite often considering I get DC'd about every 20 minutes even though none of my other games have that issue.
Too bad he didn't explain what an Ayfix means. On topic though, I was wondering what they'll do with Affix for the new patch ?
Really looking forward to Season 4. Diablo haters can GTFO.
As a dirty casual all i got to say is this is awesome, i quit and never got a toon up to 100 due to spending more time figuring out if gear was an upgrade or not or the farming of aspects really sucked. Now when you get an aspect you dont lose it when you attach it to gear as its saved in the codex is great. I totally get it from the hardcore players perspective it makes the game easier. With that said I think (been playing diablo since the first shareware disk) diablo was always meant to be played so you got to play this obscene geared out character just obliterating everything and ease of getting in and getting out when you wanted to play. I do agree that the endgame content is lacking for the power levelers and hardcore players but for me this is bring back the fun in my opinion anyways
Thank goodness less stuff! Ill try again, my buddy still plays
I'll be coming back to give it another chance. How long I'll stay is still up in the air.
So basically make it way easier and dumb down goes for a fix these days? Just have 1 stat - money spent in shop the more you advance the stat the more you win at the game.
Nah, it was taking WAY to much time WAY to often to look over drops out of fear of tossing something you may need. Loot falls from the sky and there is too little inventory to just differ sorting to a later time.
Ahhhhhhfix ❤
Well I have only played barbarian and sorcerer so playing a new class this season will help make it exciting. I’m pumped for changes too.
Try Necro with minions. Should be pretty strong
@@SheeeeeshClips I want to but everybody is going to be doing that so I might go Druid.
@@wdemon85 who cares what others are doing. Do something you'll have fun with
I’m excited for season 4
IM completely burnt out on this game. Didn't see anything that makes me want to tackle leveling through the content again.
Took them a year to basically come out with diablo 1.0 but me and the wife will be running the new season
Ditto. Some couch co-op fun! Might start the campaign again 🤷♂️
We shall see. I didn’t really care for seasonal stuff because I was burnt out thanks to the bloated campaign. If this can recapture the fun I had with Diablo 3 (yeah I like D3) then I’ll come back.
How is the campaign bloated? Wtf LOL..
Campaign was short bro
Thanks for the vid (and your continuous streams) Your assessment at the end about the changes bringing players back is dead on.
Myself and friend are series fans since D1... D4 release truly felt like a Beta version of game& so we both decided to stop until the expected changes came.
Well, here it is! It may not have seasonal content, but its essentially akin to a game finally leaving EA & entering V1.0....even if the Devs don't want to admit it.
I only like the Barb and Druid, always feel a bit limited cause I don't care for the other classes.
What keeps people playing?
Wondering the same
Dopamine hit of getting new stuff and seeing numbers get bigger. Tale as old as time.
Not everyone collapses into the fetal position when they don't get exactly what they want. So they keep playing a video game that they think is fun
fun with freinds
Well when you enjoy doing something, you wanna keep doing it. Some people still have fun with this while some are waiting for the game to become what they desire and some just gonna hate it regardless of whether the game ends up being the best game in the world in the future(hypothetically speaking) because they just love to see what they hate getting ruined. Idk there are all kinds of people out there fam, people will always have different tastes 🤷. At the end of the day, it's all for the entertainment :)
Great QOL updates, but, yet still the game lacks content
Why does it seem d4 has more subsystems than a mobile game
End game, end game, end game, end game...😅 Big changes, but the drive to play is lacking when there is no point in being Max level. 😅
Are u asking the artists before ur using there illustrations?
i dont see much of a difference. Sounds like it just shifted it. Instead of looking for only ancestral gear with right stats and skill affix, we looking for these new * items with the right stats and skill affix. It's the same rng on rng on rng i couldn't stand from before. Just in a new suit.
it's aff-ix not a-fix
Still no new skills? They are gunna have to do much better than this. How is adding another affix to the loot pool going to save this game??
5:46 yeah good job blizzard for making players get mad at each other for daying. Great design👌. Most alone Players gonna end up doing the pit events alone
Best season yet? I mean, its not like the bar was set very high to begin with.
Eeeeeeyyyy, fix!
who ever in the chat is the devs listening to you please request new none seasonal classes to have and experience thanks for listening 👍
Too late. These all look like the right changes, but they should have been rolled out before season 1. There are too many good games out or coming out in the upcoming months to waste time on d4 again. I'll give it another chance once they release something more, like a new class.
Nothing can save diablo 4,the fact they put it out on steam but not diablo 1,2 or 3 and for half price tells you all you need to know.
Then why are you watching a D4 update video....
waiting on session 10😂 and then im comming back. It's really sad that I payed 100$ for this game and I was "beta testing it" and S4 now it's getting some where ok. Bad game shouldn't be rewarded whit playing comming back. After a terrible start and s1 to s3
What's sad is that you think tune dollar sign goes after the number and not before it
Since when did we start pronouncing the A? A-fix? Mmmmk
Whys your game so fucking beautiful compared to mine?
Remember when we just played diablo 2 over and over because it was fucking awesome. This bullshit about how every update apparently makes this crappy game worth coming back to is tiresome.
Apparently Diablo 4 made the same mistake as 3. Too many different legendary items, trivializing the feeling of reward when finding one. Diablo 2 was the game I had the most fun with in my life and despite having many hours of play in Diablo 3, it was a game that wore me out. I had some hope that Diablo 4 would bring back that feeling but looking at the gameplay it seems like more of the same, everything comes without much effort. Blizzard should take a closer look at Path of Exile to understand how to encourage the player to continue playing without the feeling of repetition making it boring. PoE is a complex game (even a little more than it should be) but it is a game that encourages you to study how to improve to achieve goals you have not yet achieved.
I was hoping there was a new class or something cool...dang
If I hear this man say "Ayfix" one more time, I'm going to snap.
He won't miss you
Go snap your fragile ego
Could they add an actual base story? The base story was way WAY too short and lackluster. That’s what personally killed the game for me
I predict D4 S4 is still going to be whack.
Eyfixes....
His voice sounds a bit like Ben Eyfleck
Im sorry for saying this but diablo is for simple
Minded people,how many times can you mash buttons and the only difference is you do 1 million damage instead of 100 damage 200 hours later. Its such a mindless game loop.
Was your observation also the reason you decided to click this video and comment?
@@themanwithnoname6793 i clicked on this video left a comment and left because i dont care for diablo 4,I didn’t even watch the video smartass
My simple d4 mind don't understand. lol
@@kevinmann2154 admitting you have a problem is the 1st step,only 11 left
Sounds like you struggle with the game by yourself so you come to CZcams to find guides to be better, then complain when you finally do what 90% of players do
Just embrace Diablo 2 blizzard. You have an epic base to build upon… a no freaking brainer
Codex of power the best change & world tier changes!
Genuinely hard to watch when affix is being mispronounced every 3 seconds 😅
Too little too late. The whole genre has gone stale for me. I had played D1 and D2 religiously, D3 a little less, and D4 for about 150 hours at launch, and in the end I just would have preferred to watch paint dry. Nowadays every game has some leveling and gear progression, it's not a différenciator anymore, and the moment to moment gameplay just is outdated by design compaired to more time worthy offerings like soulslikes. I hope No rest for the wicked will do well, and turn the page for good for the genre towards a more involved gameplay.
My opinion on this game is so bad that I can’t bring myself to play even doe I got it because the beta was very fun. Is this update worth pushing through my biased opinion?
Then don't play it. Why does everyone cry saying this game is bad but y'all watch every video that mentions it...
I just can’t, I leveled every character up to level 100 and then quit…
Same moves, same metas, same characters, same fighting styles….
What we need is new moves/spells/characters
I'll be returning but not for the season, but because of the Ethernal received a update, not updating Ethernal is such a shot in the feet.
Jeezus the way affix is pronounced just kills me inside...
Ego much? You perfect human beeing😅😅😅
I will never play this game 😅
Cool. Bye
Sarcasm? Or tripping?🤣
Who else quit till they bring out a new class? I haven't played for over a year.
still boring. Why not greatly reduce these legendary/rare/unique/whatever anything not normal items and encourage the the use of these other item enhancing features on normal white items.
If I knew I wouldn’t be getting a single legendary rare whatever for a long time, I’ll just be upgrading my normal items until it feels strong. And when a colored item drop, it would feel extremely satisfying because it has higher affixes than normal items (means I’ll upgrade my normal item less) but also not too strong where I stop using the enhancement features.
The goal should be to gear the average norm items up to the level of a colored item. Then finding a colored item would help replace that one normal gear you been working on.
I definitely got bored after having full legendary in one run. Wasn’t any reason to continue.
Am I the only one growing distrusful over time with this channel? Problem is it feels like they try to please game companies by putting out those very positive sounding buzzwords and introductions, only to keep their real opinions hidden in tiny audio commentary bits inside the content, somtimes contradicting the whole package.
Like you first see "Epic best update big overhaul blablabla!", so I'm like ok maybe it's time to finally play that game, but by the end of the video you're left with "Diablo 4 had the worst itemization, quickly getting stale and this should make it a bit better". Oh so it's nothing major after all?
And I've noticed many reviews over here are using the same "Look devs we love your games keep loving us back" flashy thumbnails that force you to dig deep into the audio commentary to find actual hints of a more grounded, honest opinion about whatever they review. Is this what's to be expected from a review process?
