Diablo

I ran Ball Lightning till Paragon 200, took my Mythics, slapped em on a Druid and started slapping puddles... which is SO SATISFYING. Big numbers make happy brain feels

What are yall having fun with? Also, what is the build that makes a weird metallic shot sound and just obliterates bosses?? Edit: I just realized thats just a sound effect for busting their barrier oops 😅

I had no idea this could happen. Three health pot slots but zero mana lol

The patch will be deployed on the 15 July. It will mostly bring balance updates and bug fixes.

I've had a lot of free time and been hitting it hard, paragon 246 or so and a good collection of Mythics. I crutched my Blood Spear Necro hard, now my Lightning Spear Sorc is fully online blasting Pit, it's good times. She is a bad girl who does disgusting things at high speed.

How's your season going?

Bonus horse. It gets mad and runs away from me.

Dad gamer pushing into endgame on T4 so this is very welcome

Rant incoming:

This is the part in Vessel of Hatred where you fight a series of ghosts while they spam one-shot-kill attacks and it is SO FUCKING BADLY DESIGNED. Some of the attacks are only telegraphed by barely glowing spots on the floor that you can't fucking see because of all the shit around you. Getting past it just felt like luck, I was dodging everything to the best of my ability and just. Kept. Dying.

I took a break from D4 for a while so I've been enjoying all the QOL improvements and such, but my god the difficulty design compared to Path of Exile 2 is just night and day. I'm not crazy about PoE2 but I respect how it respects me. When I struggle on a boss there, it's very clearly always a skill issue that I can overcome.

This? This is just being instantly killed out of nowhere with no hope of avoiding it, just because game thinks my armor number isn't big enough. If that's even my problem. Edit: it wasn't, I had it capped lol

Really fuckin souring my enjoyment tbh. It was one of the biggest issues at launch and it doesn't seem to have improved much.

Ty for your time xx

Diablo/Hellfire source port

DevilutionX is a source port of Diablo and Hellfire that strives to make it simple to run the game while providing engine improvements, bugfixes, and some optional quality of life features. This includes support for modern operating systems and higher resolutions, controller and touch control support, translations, stash, optional experience and enemy health bars, etc.

Note: DevilutionX requires data files from original Diablo/Hellfire. By default, a demo version of Diablo is installed.

Every few years I go back to the original, and each time it's been more difficult. From mucking with launcher settings to running it in a Windows XP VM, this time is different. A one-click install on Linux and a copy of diabdat.mpq later, I am amazed how easy it was (and how many quality-of-life options there are).

The update will be available on January 21st.
