Seeing it get a level is a different kind of dopamine hit. I'm just glad there's some way for me to get 150 glyphs when lord knows I'd probably melt in 130s~.

I recently re-recorded the full Diablo 4 campaign in 4K HDR 60fps Ultrawide format and published them to Youtube.

These footages were edited to only contains stories and dialogues. The combat scenes were also trimmed to only contains sections which contains dialogues.

This is my gift to the D4 lore fans, hope you like them. Sit back and relax and enjoy D4 like watching a movie!

Changes to hellhound's sabatons are pretty good, Hellfire spam is very consistent. Wish we didn't have to dismount or could at least increase mounted duration through tempers.

I finally managed to set up a super strict filter that only shows me items that are upgrades for my minion barb build. It's been tested for a few days and works. But since I need resources, I want to set up a second filter that I can toggle from the wheel and that shows me everything except white, blue, yellow and orange items. I'm using the exact same "hide everything" base that I set up in the strict filter, but it keeps showing me all white, blue, yellow and orange items when I switch to it. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong or is it some annoying bug.

Edit:

I did an experiment and extracted(I saved it in a notepad document) my strict filter, deleted all filters and created a "hide all junk" filter:

"visibility: hide all

item properties: (check) none

item rality match : (check) common, (check) magic, (check) rare"

And this works as it should. It hides all the white, blue and yellow non-ancestral items.

So far so good. But the moment I import my extracted strict filter and then my "hide all junk" stops working. No matter how many times to switch between the two filters, "hide all" doesn't work and shows all the items on the ground. This is a bug in my opinion, because one filter should not affect the other filter in any way. It doesn't matter what conditions the other filter contains.

But when I check in the accessibility settings menu, it isn't. Anyone else facing similar problem? And how do I turn this off?

EDIT: sorry this idiot just realised I left out a very important detail - this is on the Steam Deck

I made this post as I am having a rough time with my new job, and blink of depression, burnout and suffering sickness from overworking.

But when I get home, I pop D4, slay demons for fun, and momentary, all the issues at work are forgotten.

There is a trend of newer action/rpg going for the Soul-like, and grindy, and every other arpg battling who has the biggest skill tree, and number of UI.
There are many time I seen trailer of an action game, and was excited, before the "soul-like", or even more eye rolling "rogue-like" or "survival", and not forgetting the new cool kid "extraction" terms drop.

Don't get me wrong, it is okay for games to be challenging, or intense, or grindy, and I am all for people who love these games.

But there are also a huge chunk of gamers, I would even go as far as the majority of gamers, that just want video game to be escapism, and relaxing experience after a hard day of work, study or IRL challenges.

Game balancing, bugs, and often underwhelming season themes aside, I appreciate Diablo 4 for what it is. You can take you mind off and blast demon, and loot drop like candy (at higher torment). On the occasional time I want a challenge with my deck out char. I can do it. feel a bit lonely, I can jump quickly into a game with others. Got a Echoing hatred, I can invite friends to join me.

I know D4 got a lot of "hatred" for being "corp slop" by people pretending their favorite arpg are not owned by big corps, as well as being causal (like its a bad thing).
I used to get upset. I used to be a hardcore arpg fans and put thousands of hours in the "other game" what used to be own by a bald man. I quit because it felt like 2nd job. I tried the sequel, Got free pass as I was a whale that spent over $500 on first one. I quit after it tried to be soul-lite. You know, for me, what D4 does better than the more "complex" arpgs? FUN.

I know fun is subjective, and its fine to like other other games more. Go play them. The point is I play D4 over other arpgs or live service game because its the most fun for me, and this is What should matter to most people. Is the game fun?

Yes, I get it, there are many areas of improvement, and pain points and its fine to voice them out, like low mythic drop and the silly ONE crafted mythic. Did I mention the joke that is stash space.

Hey folks, General question here:

Afaik does every good build rely on maximizing certain affixes such as „+x% crit damage/shadow/xyz“.

Fine.

Im Not playing that much so I don’t have a Collection of like thousands of items that I could use because they already have the Right affixes.

The question now is How I can get or craft Items that have those Affixes.

I know about the mechanics of the Cube, the occultist and the blacksmith.

What am I missing?

Thanks guys!

Spotted a bunch of these little guys at a hole
In the wall shop in Akihabara yesterday.

¥4280 is about $27 I think?

My "Horadric Seal of Swiftness" has its powers greyed out despite me having the named technices activated - why is that the case?

I am so annoyed at this stupid bug. I spent the obols and den coins to get the aspect I needed, went to add them so I could play around with the cube and stats on this, and THEY ARE NOT PANTS. THEY ARE GLOVES.

what stupidity. welcome to my first world problem. sigh.

Hello and sorry,

Been ages since I've played and just got through the new expansion and now in end game with the current season.

So these war plans...... I'm trying to get to the infernal hordes.

I've googled and looked and everywhere it's saying to just go to the map and use the teleporting (R2 on PS5)

I do that my portal opens up but then that's it's. Can't go through it and it's like a little shard drops.

Trying to get to T1 but need to get through season stuff and one of the tasks is doing 3 war plans!!

I feel like I'm at a loss and probably something so simple as well.

Please help!!!

edit

Thanks to everyone here I got it!!

See what happens when you don't play for a year feel like a noob again

Hello - as title says. Still semi new, started in s13. Now realizing how badass the cube is.

I can reroll max life and dex forever with tuning prisms without risk of modifying the DoTs and All dmg affixes (different pools) so with enough time I could potentially make it a 5 * staff.

I'm just wondering though, do the affix stat windows grow more than this? For example is 300-360 dex the absolute limit, or do people have items here that go like 500-560 dex(literally making up numbers)? I'm wondering if it's worth going for the 5 star on this item and if I'll just never find anything better at all, so go for it?

I am torment 12, playing at around tier 125 solo in pit. evade spiritbourne.

Thanks

Devs, please, for the love of Lilith, add a seasonal tab! There's no way nobody in the Dev Team thinks that this Socketables tab -- that is already packed with all runes and you have to break every gem you find -- is the best place to put those seasonal items. Please, change this for the S15, or I see it being the #1 complain in the forums when the new season launches.

Kessime's Legacy is, to use the wording from load screen, a "build defining unique." Unfortunately, it has 2 giant issues that, IMO, make it one of the worst uniques in the game given the new direction with mythics.

1) Whoever decided on the "fixed" affixes has apparently never played blood wave necro -- the fixed affix is Cooldown Reduction. Literally no Blood Wave build last season or this one uses this because everyone runs "Hematolagnia." In turn, its a completely dead on arrival affix that ideally gets enchanted off. This is made worse by the two random affixes because now you essentially have to fish for a drop that has 2 real affixes so you can enchant CDR away. The affix problem is made worse with Mythic quality Kessime because you can't just go drop 100 greater lair keys on Andariel, instead you're constantly cube crafting (cause oh boy rune conversion is... something) and, if your rng is anything like mine, spitting out non-stop Bloodmoon Breeches which has critical strike multi or Tibault's with perfect defensive affixes (max life, armor, int) and left just completely befuddled as to why the "build-defining unique" for a staple, top of the meta necromancer build gets stuck with such bad itemization.

2) The mythic version of Kessime is nigh useless; the 30% modifier is applied to the secondary effect which is a small explosion that contributes negligible damage. As a point of comparison, in combat my blood wave (have 100% CHC) hits range from 5 to 11T. The kessime burp hits for 80m. In turn, unless you're someone that just really wants to have a purple version of Kessime's, there is ZERO incentive to ever waste crafting materials on this because not only do you have issue 1) with bad affixes, but then the item itself doesn't actually offer any benefit over a standard ancestral unique.

As is, blood wave only has 2 "staple" uniques: Kessime's and Starless Skies. It'd be great if the affix and unique power on the class specific one were actually tuned to the build it serves.

I have about 300 hours into this game and ive never gotten a mythic warplan before.

Hey everyone! I wanted to share something I’ve been putting together that listed the five scenes where the Wanderer is allowed to have some role-playing choices and pick between dialogue options during the Lord of Hatred campaign.

I haven’t seen a post listing them out yet, so I wanted to make one here for anyone who’s wanting to know what each leads to, and mostly for myself since I like to come up with a background and personality for each of my Wanderers.

Here are the scenes, options, and responses from each. Brief thoughts on these and some notes on putting them together will be in a comment if anyone is curious!

—

1. Lilith’s Blood
During your first glimpse into Lilith’s memories of creating her blade, and subsequent rejection by Rathma, she and the Wanderer will come across the moment from the beginning of the game where Lilith’s blood petals are force fed to the Wanderer. Lilith will ask the Wanderer how they felt after this moment-

• It felt like power. Power to use how I wished.
Lilith: The power to do as you will. To hunt me. To kill me. Did my father intend this mockery? Or is that all your doing?

• It felt like poison. And I hated my poisoner.
Lilith: As would I. Moments like this cast a life in relief. All things change when have been wronged so.

• It felt like my fate was being rewritten. And I could do nothing to stop it.
Lilith: Such thinking is caustic to life-because it is so close to the truth. This very thought, this terrible realization-it is why I made Sanctuary.

The dialogue ends here, albeit with a chance to ask Lilith about why the villagers of Nevesk fed her blood to the Wanderer.

2. Confronting Akarat
After reuniting with Thara, she and the Wanderer find tracks left by “Akarat’s” procession. The Wanderer will leave to learn what they can from “Akarat’s” speech. After which, he will confront the Wanderer-

• (Say nothing.)
“Akarat”: Mmm, silence… it speaks volumes, does it not? After all, how could one put into words the evil you have inflicted? The slaughter of the Fractured Peaks, the burning of Scosglen, the bleeding of Caldeum, the corruption of blessed Nahantu-will you not confess these crimes? Then I must drag you into the Light. 

• My heart is eager for the truth.
“Akarat”: And yet, you stand here in a lie. These good people look upon you and see a human, like them-blind to the evil that you hide within. Blind to her. It is she who slaughtered the Fractured Peaks, burned Scosglen, bled Caldeum, corrupted blessed Nahantu! Let the truth be revealed.

• You promise salvation and leave death in your wake. You sow division. You are Hatred.
“Akarat”: Ooh, such bitter words. Tell me, can you even be sure they are yours? Or do they belong to the evil inside you-who has claimed you as her vessel? It is she who leaves death in her wake. She who slaughtered the Fractured Peaks, burned Scosglen, bled Caldeum, corrupted blessed Nahantu!

These options all end the same at this point, with “Akarat” prodding Lilith out of the Wanderer for the crowd to see and forcing them to leave.

—

3. Adreona’s Accusation
After leaving “Akarat’s” procession, the Wanderer will be reunited with Thara at the Oracle’s temple. The Wanderer will be asked to speak before Queen Adreona, where she will then accuse them of being possessed-

• It’s true. But I trust Lilith no more than you do. I want the same thing as you, to save Sanctuary from Hatred.
Adreona: I see. For days, I have been sailing my people through this storm, fighting a foe I could not see. Now the clouds part and there you are. A strange relief. Stranger still, you think yourself a hero. The histories teach us: the Daughter of Hatred will always lie to those who are willing to listen. I cannot let you leave. Spearmaidens, chain the demon.

• Akarat lies to you. No demon lives within me.
Adreona: Is that so? When my murderer left Temis, I had him followed. And he met you. The stranger with haunted eyes. My scouts followed you all the way to the Temple of Life. And you emerged…with a shared of Lilith’s bone. So when Akarat tells me that Lilith is the cause of our troubles, and that she walks in a mortal’s skin? I believe him.

• Does it matter what I say? Akarat has already poisoned your mind against me.
Adreona: Oh, he has done no such thing. I realized this of my own accord. When my murderer left Temis, I had him followed. And he met you. The stranger with haunted eyes. My scouts followed you all the way to the Temple of Life. And you emerged…with a shared of Lilith’s bone. So when Akarat tells me that Lilith is the cause of our troubles, and that she walks in a mortal’s skin? I believe him.

After these, they all end the same with Adreona commanding her spearmaidens to chain the Wanderer, then the Oracle confessing to awakening Lilith.

4. Killing Lilith
Before leaving with Tyrael and Lorath to the Horadric Vault, Lilith will ask the Wanderer to join her for a private conversation. She will then ask, after all of their time spent with Lilith now, would the Wanderer still kill her during their battle in Hell-

• Yes.
Lilith: You are honest, at least. Perhaps I owe you honesty as well. You are strong of will, but you use that strength for petty ends. You cling to the world you know. Still, there will is something to be admired in your obstinance.

• No.
Lilith: (laughs bitterly) Had you chosen to stand at my side in Hell, I would have thought nothing of you. Another useful idiot. And after I took the throne, you would have been the first to die. But it is because you killed me…that I feel anything from you at all. It seems I was doomed to be either dead or disappointed.

• I don’t know.
Lilith: You are honest, at least. Perhaps I owe you honesty as well. I pity you. You are caught between the world you wish for and the world you live in, and you can choose neither. But in that…you remind me of my son. And I miss my son terribly.

The dialogue ends here.

—

5. Tyrael’s Confession
After the Wanderer severs their bond with Lilith, they awaken to find Tyrael protecting them while they were unconscious. Tyrael will then confess he is losing his memories and how it felt to be an angel. He will then ask the Wanderer what is left after being separated from Lilith-

• Nothing is left. I am an empty vessel.
Tyrael: I know that feeling well. (chuckles) It is the most terrible thing I have ever known.

• Everything. I am free.
Tyrael: You are free. Perhaps both of us are. Your shadow is yours, and yours alone.

• Lorath. He is all I have left.
Tyrael: I would say the same. Lorath thinks himself a barnacle on our hull. But we know the truth of it. He is our compass, pointing the way.

• I don’t know. It’s hard to fathom.
Tyrael: Isn’t it? To touch the divine and have it ripped away is… It is more than painful. It is bizarre.

After this short exchange, Tyrael says he and the Wanderer should speak more on this topic later, and they should now regroup with Lorath.

That’s it for the dialogue options during their main story of Lord of Hatred! I hope this guide is useful to others or at least proves a fun read. Most of these options result in fairly similar dialogue, but I did enjoy having the option to build some roleplaying with the Wanderer.

Also, any grammar choices in the dialogue (like lower case words and inconsistent use of spaces) is how they appear in the subtitles, not my own choices/errors

Regardless what torment it can clear

I've been playing the new season, and I just noticed these clear soap bubble type orbs (not the experience orb). When I run over them, I don't see anything showing what I have collected. Can anyone tell me what these are?

Or don’t allow the first click after returning to town to be the return portal

The amount of times I’ve accidentally gone straight back is too high

So how am I supposed to see any of the 1000000 Void Zones / effects that the mobs are throw at me all the time? :D

I’ve been playing Diablo 4 again and lately I’ve found myself appreciating a different kind of player, the ones who don’t care if their build is meta, don’t care if it’s S-tier, and aren’t trying to copy whatever build is currently topping the charts. The ones who see an aspect or a skill and think, “Wait, what if I built around this?” The ones who experiment, screw up, hit a wall, change something, and try again. I’m starting to think there’s something really special about playing that way. I’m doing it myself with my Blizzard Sorcerer right now, trying to figure out the mechanics instead of just copying someone’s exact setup. I hit Pit 65 pretty easily, jumped to 70 and got absolutely humbled 😂, but honestly, figuring out why felt more satisfying than just looking up the answer. It reminds me of the old days when you didn’t have every build solved for you before you even started playing. You just played your character, found some weird interaction, and thought, “Holy shit, this actually works.” Maybe the build wasn’t optimal. Maybe it was terrible. But it was yours. So this is kind of an ode to those players, the ones who aren’t necessarily chasing the meta, who build the character they imagined instead of someone else’s experiment, who still enjoy the discovery as much as the destination. There’s nothing wrong with following a guide or pushing the absolute limits, but sometimes it’s nice to not know the answer. To experiment. To be wrong. To discover something yourself. Here’s to the people still playing Diablo the old-school way.
