You did that in 1 day?Played yesterday rogue to lvl23.
I think the vibe/atmosphere is fantastic. I wasn't a big fan of D2 or D3, but I think I could get into this despite not usually liking games of this style.I didn't play Diablo for more than 20 years as I didn't like D2 as D1. This one also does not have that great vibe from D1, but gameplay is more like first part.
I had a series of fortunate events. I have 3 kids, oldest 7, and they were on 2 birthdays where they went with my wife, and I was left home because I have flu.You did that in 1 day?
I think it's poor optimisation if only world bosses offer challenge. Hopefully they'll improve it. Wading though the hordes of enemies and only having to spam the attack button gets boring over time.Nah, it's pretty easy the whole beta. There might be some challenge in end-game events, Helltides and such. There's a good chance of dying on a world boss.
I fought with generally 8 people out of 12 i believe each time. TBF i had the legendary to summon 2 more mages. I was also in thorns build on my barb which is bad for world bosses because you are trying NOT to get hit.Druid has lots of good options. Early on I really liked Pulverize with the 100% overpower chance with Shred to close the distance and lightning melee attack to apply vulnerable. Eventually I ended up keeping the lighting melee but going all storm skills. Tried both lightning and tornados. I tried earth really early on and didn't like the slow cast speed, but I can see the damage on Landslide gets pretty good.
You really can't tell much about class tiers from the first 25 levels. But If we want to call it "easy start" tiers it would probably go like
A. Necro and Sorc
B. Rogue
C. Barb and druid
But, even then, I wouldn't put too much weight on that. Necro is clearly off to the best start because he has his class power that summons 4 skeletons before any other classes have unlocked the bars. Meanwhile, druid never gets his class power in the beta. Necro even gets his golem at 25 in the beta.
But it's literally only a few minutes before everyone gets a core skill. This is where some options seem a bit weak until you find a legendary aspect for them. But it's a good chance to give them all a try before level 15 while respec is free.
Did you solo the world boss or something? I only got a chance to fight it once and I was storm druid with lightning at the time which worked pretty well. Died maybe 5 times until I learned the fight better but there were a lot of people there. Got 7 legendary drops.
I'm at level 11 with a Druid also on Veteran, and yeah, it's pretty easy except for some bosses. I finally got killed by some woman who keeps summoning waves of demons.I played druid and sorcerer a bit past the prologue (level 9 I think) using the harder difficulty and found the game far too easy. Does the difficulty spike up later?
At least until where I ended, I had no issues with the druid. Just spamming the attack button killed anything on my way too quick.
that's how D3 was, so I wouldn't get your hopes upI think it's poor optimisation if only world bosses offer challenge. Hopefully they'll improve it. Wading though the hordes of enemies and only having to spam the attack button gets boring over time.
I suppose you're right. That's how WoW was too as far as I remember. It will get more varied when one hits higher levels, though. I think then only spamming attack button should lead to certain death. We'll see...that's how D3 was, so I wouldn't get your hopes up
That's a good sign I also weirdly miss the game. Blizzard has plenty of issues but one has to give it to them: they can make addictive games.The open Beta period was much too short. I forgot it was only until today. I went to log back in and realized it's already over.
I also ended my run to that woman (didn't realise the open beta continued on Monday when I wrote my comment on Sunday). My impression didn't change. The game is too easy even on Veteran, although the woman was sufficiently challenging. I maxed Storm Strike and started maxing Shred as I remembered that in these types of games it's best to max one skill at the time. Storm Strike was the basic attack that did AoE and took care of the mobs. Shred a more focussed attack that did sufficient damage to bosses. Didn't die a single time using druid with that combo. I think Shred started healing my character after I picked enhanced version. Other classes must be far too easy if druid was the hardest class to play. Perhaps it gets more difficult later on.I'm at level 11 with a Druid also on Veteran, and yeah, it's pretty easy except for some bosses.

I have to say I like my difficulty a little more consistent than this. I'm not a fan of games that are easy 95% of the time and then spike dramatically at certain points.
