I was one of the unlucky few to beat Diablo 3 before the crazy nerfs, almost all the bosses were easier than the blue packs. Minion, invincible, extra fast, damage reflect or substitute damage for frost, extra strong, etc). And they had an enrage mechanic that if you couldn't kill the pack in 3 minutes they would stand still if you were on screen with any of them they would instantly drain your life to zero. Quickly just learned to skip them. Game was worth what I paid, but it was absolute trash in terms of story line and replayability.
This happened to me, I stopped playing when I ran out of BP points for the week and my XP got to the 60% debuff. Seriously Diablo Immortal has some of the stupidest mechanics I have ever dealt with in a modern game.

farm one dungeon, gather points, bank in at the start of the next week, get another week off. basically ou can play this with 10 minutes of game time during the week and 8 hours on the weekend, which is good for a casual gamer and some indie game, but this is a full AAA title full of content, i want to play as much as i want not as much as blizzard tells me to.

Paragon system with server paragpn is perfect. Casual players does not have 10hours/day to plat, so situations like in D3 where some are para 10000+ and some 5000 are avoided in this way.
In POE it would remove the whole no-lifing gaming for 30 hours in a row aspect. It's even dangerous to these people. Server paragon sounds like a great thing for 95% of players. And it might be medically/socially good for the remaining 5%.
Fantastic explanation. Now watching your video made me realise something, you creating a new character to play is exactly what Blizz/Activision wanted, you played right into their hands, more individual characters means more chances that people will pay, seeing as every purchase is character based. Boost to the server cap, maybe pay for some mtx, realise the pain, create a new character, boost to the server cap, maybe pay for some more mtx. Yet another scum move
lol no.. (i'll start with this.. I agree purchases not being cross character.. at least for the boon/battle pass/prodigy path is bullshit) but.. there being caps is absolutely needed for a game like this.. imagine diablo 3 without seasons and joining today, what would happen.. its a mobile mmo with diablo paragon system, must be limited or no one can compete except people like rax.. who even now has such an advantage with 10+ paragon levels.. imagine if he wasnt limited he would be like 100+ right now.. with 5k cr .. the competitiveness would drain away.. its why diablo games use seasons/ladders.. 5 years from now, someone sees DI on the play store downloads it and everyone is paragon 3000. 0 chance he can ever catch up and compete in pvp or even leaderboards..
@@herioon6773 lol and non season died the moment seasons came out. this is a mobile mmo. you shouldn't be able to blast lol.. you tried to disregard everything I said by comparing it to a game mechanic in d3 that failed as it has in every diablo. limits are needed.
@@hutter6355 alright sooo it only stays competitive if the f2p dudes that would blast are capped to the same paragon level a p2w dude gets to so it stays competitive got it.
@@herioon6773 d3 competition is strictly pve and takes barely anytime yo catch up and paragon levels aren't impactful.. in this game people would be running around with 1milliom hp by now.. it's not the same game at all in anyways stop comparing it to diablo 3 the only thing this game has that's diablo, is its visuals
When I played immortal I was like “ wait a min…. Why would I play this when I have D3 in on my mac …. “ Uninstalled immortal. Then I hopped right in to D3 and have a blast. (The current state of D3 right now is pretty good& I like echoing nightmare event) I bought Overwatch legendary edition just for mercy wings for 19.99$ even though I dont play OW, I just like the wing and it cheaper than playing DI in long term. I’m happy and almost finish D3 s26 and will continue playing it.
@@6foot8jesuspilledpureblood82 I will have to agree with this, I own both D2 Resurrect and D3 on Switch, while D2 is dark themed which fit to its environment, the D3 bright and colorful, I am not saying it's bad thing but to my opinion, not the best for diablo series, not to mention the skill mechanic....
Exactly! I had some spare time and really grinded my way to the top, just to realise, I was being punished by doing so... I'm now paragon lvl 28 and don't really want to play, because I feel, it's a waste of time!
Every video I watch on this game...the more it feels just like Marvel Future Revolution. Massive hype, dead in 3-4 months except in the Asian markets where the extreme p2w model isn't minded.
The problems there was that hundreds of krakens had red start rise of east on the first day of the game creating a impossible power gap, this is not the same although I see what you mean bud, if they fix some of the paid mechanics in this game it will be in my opinion, the best game on the mobile market right now.
@@Sparklefart023 right, changed that from buying to 'getting'. Not gonna bother playing what's basically a demo that you can't enjoy for long without spending bocoup bucks.
One thing I really dislike about the game is that you need to be in a party of at least two people for just about anything, dungeon (hell 1) or whatever in Diablo Immortal. It's absurd, there is no solo gaming experience. I don't care about p2w, I'm not going to spend even 1€ but let me play quietly without having to spend all the time looking for groups. Thanks for sharing your tips Raxxanterax, they are really helpful.
The only thing left for you to do is swipe that CC for 5 star gems. That’s the whole point of them capping and gating this game so hard. Force you to pay for power.
How can it be that though? The game doesn't actually have hard content that you need that power for. Even if you spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to get it, what would you do with all that power? You'd still just have the same dailies to grind and the same Paragon levels to not be able to get. Maybe you could push your CR a few levels higher but you'd quickly hit the same wall you're at currently. If the purpose of gating your progress really was to force you to pay then Blizzard did an awful job of it. As a F2P'er (technically I bought the battle pass yesterday but I got no power out of it I didn't already have access to) I can do the same content that a payer can except for the CR, and I'm just as gated by all the daily gates as a payer as well. Even if I had no problems with paying 2 win, paying in would get me nothing so why should I do it?
@@shadf7902 Because you need evidence to support your claims. If you wanna take this down, no one will listen unless you can prove how ridiculous it is.
I grinded from 1-50 in one sitting on day1 as f2p then after hitting 60 very soon decided to spent a „a little bit“ once , thinking it would be enough but i was so wrong..so i spent almost 200€ , bought the boon thing, the prodigy path and most bundles , i was so obsessed trying to get the blood jade with my last money i got it actually even tho its only 2 star. So far im paragon 25 with 1200rating only, i have no gems left because i upgraded my 5stars to level2 (other 5 stars i have is a 3 star seeping , 2star echo and thats it) i had 2 bottle of hopes 2-3stars which i ended up using as upgrade mats. This game is stupid the upgrade requirements for gems are absurd they want duplicates of 5stars and the prices are insane without bundles. I dont think ill spend ever money again on this and gonna play f2p from now on. You just burn all that money with trying to upgrade your gems. Same thing happened to me 10years ago by the same company in hearthstone where they release meta cards and take them out of rotation/make them useless. I knew from the beginning its a p2win game but i wouldnt think u need thousands/100k to somewhat be good. I dont have the money for that i thought with 200bucks ill be settled so my advice u guys doing a goodjob dont spend any money on this even if u do get good gems they usually are only 1-3stars and need to be upgraded and at lvl 2 they already want a duplicate. While the game is very fun and addicting its sad to see how much rich people have advantage. Im gonna do my dailys from now on mostly and thats it slowly lvling that prodigys path..i love the mmo aspect of the game but they show no love for free players. Every mmo has at launch giveaways except this one. They should handout atleast 10-20legendary crests for everyone imagine being that greedy when they already one of the most wealthy company. I cant push challenge rifts as a necro past 32/33ish , path of blood 35. the game locks you out hard when you grind hard instead rewarding you, im at -40% xp since launch, im tired of having to fight for the only good farm spot in the game against the whole server. There should be way more farming spots like library its so demotivating, especially because i already did hundreds of dungeon runs, got most sets. The game wants me to grind to paragon 30 so i can upgrade my armor again but it maybe boosts your rating only up by 10-30. i still dont think a f2p player can get to 2000rating, the game really wants you to spend atleast 1k which im not a fan of. Oh and the game doesnt even really tell you that you get increased 5star dropchance if you put in 10 crests at once, so i did a bad mistake of putting them in one by one (most of them) paired with 2 rare crests which was probably a mistake. Once i started to put in 10 at once on my last 20crests i got like two seepings. And 10 crests as a f2p is impossible to get let alone even one. I dont think me or any f2p player can get to hell3. I tried farming library in hell2 yesterday which barely worked even though i could get oneshot if getting close, but thats all. Why are all the raids behind such a paywall? I just dont get it. Sure its a time progression game where they want us to slowly progress CR over the years, but there is no real progression because gems+resonance make up most of combat rating. Anyways hope you all still have a good time with the game and dont get tricked like me
that is exactly the plan blizz has - easy progression early to lure people / whales in - then make them addicted and hit them with paywalls and heavy frustrating grind in the late game when they are already invested. and here you also see the typical "whale" that is not rich at all, like these gaming companies claim to make it sound like they take from the "rich" and give to the "poor" game developers, because "they need the money". in reality the "whales" are similar to gambling addicts in casinos that get easily hooked can not see through the system that is designed to drain their pockets.
First of all, amazing video. More people should see this. Secondly, thats the whole point of this scam. You hit the wall. Now swipe. Fuck Activision/Blizzard.
hello Rax , I have to say it is impressiv what you have done . We all have to realise something. You (we) have been playing this game like a Diablo but in reality this is not build to be play that way. It has been truly build like a mobile gatcha game where the most power come from legendary gems which you have to pay for , not play. Yes it is sad but if you want to carry playing this game you have to change your vision of the game. The things that as stop me to play is the difference between eternal legendary crest (which you have to pay and will be able to sell loot in auction ) and regulare legendary crest . Meaning that even f2P or small spender will never be able to have fun , game cap everywhere excepte shop very frustrating , better get a job work 8H spend 4H work in the game to be stronger than a guy that play 20H a day ^^ Anyway been loving you content and way to explain everything good look
You are 100% spot on, and this is exactly why you see so many people AFK spooning. They are happy to leave their phones on, slowly getting 10% xp, but screw playing at that. Wait, NetSleaze just want you to buy Crests. Nevermind. Something to do!!! That is the ONLY thing not gated.
CTRL+SCROLL in Paint you can zoom in and have more room to work with, plus when you zoom out it looks better too AND you can use fat brushes. Cmon man Paragon them Paint skillz homebwoy!
It would appear that Wyatt Cheng was serious AF when he said 'We (Blizz) are making the game, Netease are doing the monetisation' ... Sadly cos as a mobile game, it plays great. But the time-gating & MTX issues are just crazy bad 🤷🏻♀️😢
Where do you farm your legendaries from? I'm playing dh and hit 60 night before last. Been running elder rifts and the two dungeons you said were useless for dh. I'm not getting many legendaries at all from elder rifts.
funny I started with a Necro and switched to dh when I started to get bored , I would be excited to see you play Necro cuz it feels like shit compared to d3 , challenge rifts feel terrible in general imo .
I basically did the same thing this week. Was P23 when server was P16, I had maxed out my weekly BPs, and just thought to myself ... this is pointless to grind. I'll just stack my bounties and hold onto my quests until BP reset in 3 days and crush paragon levels.
They want people to make an alt.. and watch that EXP fly with the EXP boosts from being behind.. and maybe you buy some stuff because you know.. everything you bought is player bound ;) OH hahah I was typing before end of video.. as I hit Save to post it you said you were going to make a necro lmao.. technically I called it before you said it! :)
Raxx I don’t know if I’m a filthy casual n don’t understand but to me it just seems like you beat the game. 95% of ppl are wayyyy behind you. I just dinged 50 and have unlimited crap to do.
I think the point is End Game content...you're inhibited in End Game unless you pay...and by that point, you've already spent $$ or hours getting there. So whats the point in getting there/continuing.
@@sterlingarcher5698 see that’s the thing, even the whales are capped they can push pass the paragon xp debuff, or certain upgrade caps. The only thing they can do is the gems but after a point that’s futile because they are capped too. Truth is content creators are playing this game like it’s not a phone game. They did the same with Genshin and the same videos were made “ there’s nothing to do in Genshin “ they play a game designed for like 4 hours max a day for like 12 hours a day everyday lol
@@kazeoniwaban9786 Thats a fair argument! I dont play phone games much and when I do I refuse to pay so unclear on the average but it appears there are many pay gates in Diablo Immortal!
i think this design was formulated to appeal to players using mobile devices who have limited time to play. it is not designed to be a replacement for d3 or d4. the server para level buff, weekly dungeon buff rotation and daily quests would allow a player to progress without having to play the game full time. they could have a full time real life job and spend $ on it, which is the whole idea.
I definitely did, and a lot of time at that. But most of the “end game” content in this game is Shadow/Immortal PvP and competitions. I had fun for free for 20+h, but that fun was partly due to me wanting to become stronger.
this type of shit is unacceptable whether or not you think the game is 'fun'. People need to realize this and stop being willing to eat shit at some point. Grow a pair
As it stands I'm only level 47 in the game, I work a lot and play other games. I can honestly say I enjoy this game flaws and all. I think diablo on the phone is really fun. Oddly I feel like people who play games and make videos/stream for a living are the most miserable.
I quit. Playing that game directly supports the greed that is Activision Blizzard. Wyatt Cheng is to Diablo: Immortal what Jay Wilson was to Diablo III in my eyes. This game and any game like it is what will slowly destroy gaming as we know it.
it`s even better than that. you gring a dungeon till you have 2400 of those battle pass points. the new week starts, you cash them in at once, gain 10 levels and you can wait another week. and reaching those 2400 points is around 8-10 hours of playtime of elder rifts for me. you can do dungeons if you want to, just stick to one.
Diablo WAS one of my favorite franchises. I played the hell out of D1 and 2. Played 3 a bit as well, but not as much as the first two. I will not play Immortal and I'm not even going to bother with D4 either. I'm so disgusted with Blizzard that I'm just done.
10% xp may be a crawl, but it is advancement. Just not advancement you can stomach. Too much gerbil on the running wheel, not enough reward. Welcome to the f2p mobile experience.
Yeah the game is made so you have to play everyday but just a little. If you play too much on a short time => capped If you skipp too many days you will loose rewards because you can't catch up due to caps. That's not how i see a hak'n'slash should be enjoyed.
Guys this is weird but it is not the worse thing. Used to be like that in diablo 2. You get to around lvl 80 and leveling took so long you just go back and create a new character to start a new build and see what it is like. Not that bad of a thing. Don't waste your time if you can't get any xp do something for fun.
sit there and wait for the next day to bring some new " Energy ( Placeholder for gate, in this case Serverparagon)" Diablo Immoral sounds like every other mobile game i touched.
I understand the disappointment, and I even understand how D:I is unfortunately monetized in many ways. However, this ultimately boils down to the same complaint we see in almost any game imaginable. "I've no-lifed the game and now I have nothing to do. Ded game/Stupid Devs/Content Drought!!!!!1"
just do the daily log in, first kill of the day, claim elder crest. day/s with free time quests, dungeons, bounties, whatever... Feels like developers have turned gaming from a fun pastime to a chore
@@jasonmullinder I'm honestly a fan of some diminishing returns or first 2 hour bonus or whatever but right now it really is a chore. I don't care for most dailies because the game becomes a chore between content drops and who needs more chores.
Nothing wrong with the model, I think this is very good for Diablo cause we get bored way too easy in Diablo but as a MMO it might be different. I mean dungeons 2 different rifts bounty`s and alot more. as a decade old D3 player I think this might save it but I have no hope for blizz anymore, I dont see them coming back from this no matter what they do. Blizz disgusting ways is the problem not the model
In the video, the text said you were about $40 into the game. I know that is the Empowered Battle Pass(20) would you mind listing what other small/smart purchases you have made for your account? I bought the BP, along with the first 2 dungeon bundles, $1 and $5. I would not mind paying another 15-20 since I have spent many hours enjoying this game so far. thanks!
The fact that you've done everything you can possibly do to max your f2p character and still don't have the resonance level of a single rank 1 5 star gem is shocking.
it's funny how streamers are the complainers because they play these games till their eyes bleed out and then complain they have nothing to do lol it blows my mind really
My expectations of this game was extremely low to begin with. D3 youtubers like you and wudi hyping up the game prior to release got my expectations up, only to come crashing down again 😂 The question now is: Would you still recommend the game to new players after a week of playing it? And why?
Honestly, this game lived up to the hype as a FREE to play game. A lot of good content still available for free, but you just won't be able to touch the endgame in terms of leaderboards and PvP which is fine by me. If you take the competitive aspect out of the game, and you casually play it. It's a pretty good game considering it costs absolutely nothing. But this depends on how much you want to play it. For someone who only has 1-2 hours a day to play, it's perfect. For someone who can game 10 hours a day, yeah this game will leave a lot to be desired.
Yes. It's ok to play for fun, but just don't be folled thinking on getting high on the leader boards or doing other stuff that requires good lg gems to get it
so I'm guessing this comment is aimed at Raxx but as some noob at 5 para atm (although I've been swapping servers) the game is fun to play with a few friends. I think spending 0-10 bucks as a squad is great but the game isn't worth much more imo. The storyline is kinda lame, the loot system feels a lot worse because they like to remind you it'd be more if you paid, and if you spend you'll run out of stuff to do fast. To me beating some content and being rewarded with an "extra value bundle" feels a bit like being flipped off as a tip.
@@BrianCheng24 Yea I agree with you wholeheartedly. Diablo Immortal is by no means a bad game. But if we're just talking about having fun for 1-2hours a day. I think there're plenty of games (mobile, pc or console) that could easily contend with Immortal, without having to deal with constant reminders to spend money 🤷♂️ I think it's fair to say Immortal don't stand out much when compared with the thousands of f2p mobile games or pc games available on the market now. In a lot of them, even if you choose to spend $0, you won't run into a progression brick wall Raxx did ONE WEEK into the game. That's just ridiculous 😂
Just treat it as your side game, play it for couple of minutes every day. Ni no Kuni mobile released first and its P2W AF, but Diablo Immoral took the bullet for them.
while im not sadistic enough to hit 30 with the current server paragon level I'm finding myself with nothing to do because of the amount of caps that are stopping me from actually playing and advancing in the game.
3 Server paragon each day would be nice or +10 Sever paragon on weekly reset. At this rate we have players afk farming xp in library and of course can't click on them to report them either which is a huge issue.
Ahhh the ax level mobile game experience lul. Sometimes my favourite part of a game I’m playing but when I want to do stuff it’s tough because the game tells you no… pseudo stamina system lul
Mam this sounds so similar to Genshin Impact. Where there's nothing left for the player to do except to wait for a new character, buy primogems and risk a 50/50 pull if you're lucky to get that new character. If you do, you're next problem is your resources to build that character, which requires another payment.

In POE it would remove the whole no-lifing gaming for 30 hours in a row aspect. It's even dangerous to these people. Server paragon sounds like a great thing for 95% of players. And it might be medically/socially good for the remaining 5%.
I don't play Immortal but man that was the most interesting explanation I have seen in a long time. Raxx you always astound me.....
Fantastic explanation.
Now watching your video made me realise something, you creating a new character to play is exactly what Blizz/Activision wanted, you played right into their hands, more individual characters means more chances that people will pay, seeing as every purchase is character based.
Boost to the server cap, maybe pay for some mtx, realise the pain, create a new character, boost to the server cap, maybe pay for some more mtx.
Yet another scum move
lol no.. (i'll start with this.. I agree purchases not being cross character.. at least for the boon/battle pass/prodigy path is bullshit) but.. there being caps is absolutely needed for a game like this.. imagine diablo 3 without seasons and joining today, what would happen.. its a mobile mmo with diablo paragon system, must be limited or no one can compete except people like rax.. who even now has such an advantage with 10+ paragon levels.. imagine if he wasnt limited he would be like 100+ right now.. with 5k cr .. the competitiveness would drain away.. its why diablo games use seasons/ladders.. 5 years from now, someone sees DI on the play store downloads it and everyone is paragon 3000. 0 chance he can ever catch up and compete in pvp or even leaderboards..
@@hutter6355 youre completely wrong because this isnt a season this is like d3 nonseason so theres no reason not being able to blast
@@herioon6773 lol and non season died the moment seasons came out. this is a mobile mmo. you shouldn't be able to blast lol.. you tried to disregard everything I said by comparing it to a game mechanic in d3 that failed as it has in every diablo. limits are needed.
@@hutter6355 alright sooo it only stays competitive if the f2p dudes that would blast are capped to the same paragon level a p2w dude gets to so it stays competitive got it.
@@herioon6773 d3 competition is strictly pve and takes barely anytime yo catch up and paragon levels aren't impactful.. in this game people would be running around with 1milliom hp by now.. it's not the same game at all in anyways stop comparing it to diablo 3 the only thing this game has that's diablo, is its visuals
if a video starts with paint it can only be good
If you know raxx you know
My guy goes the extra mile to get things straight, mad respect for his paint skills
When I played immortal I was like “ wait a min…. Why would I play this when I have D3 in on my mac …. “
Uninstalled immortal.
Then I hopped right in to D3 and have a blast.
(The current state of D3 right now is pretty good& I like echoing nightmare event)
I bought Overwatch legendary edition just for mercy wings for 19.99$ even though I dont play OW, I just like the wing and it cheaper than playing DI in long term. I’m happy and almost finish D3 s26 and will continue playing it.
After playing d2r for like a week I swapped back to d3 and it felt like a simplified cartoon game in comparison.
@@6foot8jesuspilledpureblood82 I will have to agree with this, I own both D2 Resurrect and D3 on Switch, while D2 is dark themed which fit to its environment, the D3 bright and colorful, I am not saying it's bad thing but to my opinion, not the best for diablo series, not to mention the skill mechanic....
I like the part where you hit a wall unless you buy legendary gems. That's pretty cool.
Exactly!
I had some spare time and really grinded my way to the top, just to realise, I was being punished by doing so... I'm now paragon lvl 28 and don't really want to play, because I feel, it's a waste of time!
You know it's going to be good when the video *starts* with Raxx's EPIC Paint skillz!
Raxx gettin blessed by Daddy Asmon.
Every video I watch on this game...the more it feels just like Marvel Future Revolution. Massive hype, dead in 3-4 months except in the Asian markets where the extreme p2w model isn't minded.
The problems there was that hundreds of krakens had red start rise of east on the first day of the game creating a impossible power gap, this is not the same although I see what you mean bud, if they fix some of the paid mechanics in this game it will be in my opinion, the best game on the mobile market right now.

That’s even more of a scam than Diablo Immortal.
Damn...I wanted to post that.. ;-)
Have you reached the money spending cap?
This just makes me feel better uninstalling after finishing the story content and getting all my horadrim gems.
This (not only) makes me not installing the game at all.
This just makes me feel better for never getting the game at all.
@@dustysmoke4996 game is free
@@Cyberaser it's actually fun tho and I haven't spent any money
@@Sparklefart023 right, changed that from buying to 'getting'. Not gonna bother playing what's basically a demo that you can't enjoy for long without spending bocoup bucks.
One thing I really dislike about the game is that you need to be in a party of at least two people for just about anything, dungeon (hell 1) or whatever in Diablo Immortal. It's absurd, there is no solo gaming experience. I don't care about p2w, I'm not going to spend even 1€ but let me play quietly without having to spend all the time looking for groups. Thanks for sharing your tips Raxxanterax, they are really helpful.
The only thing left for you to do is swipe that CC for 5 star gems. That’s the whole point of them capping and gating this game so hard. Force you to pay for power.
Yeah, we kinda all saw this coming, not sure why people played so much to "prove it"
How can it be that though? The game doesn't actually have hard content that you need that power for. Even if you spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to get it, what would you do with all that power? You'd still just have the same dailies to grind and the same Paragon levels to not be able to get. Maybe you could push your CR a few levels higher but you'd quickly hit the same wall you're at currently.
If the purpose of gating your progress really was to force you to pay then Blizzard did an awful job of it. As a F2P'er (technically I bought the battle pass yesterday but I got no power out of it I didn't already have access to) I can do the same content that a payer can except for the CR, and I'm just as gated by all the daily gates as a payer as well. Even if I had no problems with paying 2 win, paying in would get me nothing so why should I do it?
@@shadf7902 Because you need evidence to support your claims. If you wanna take this down, no one will listen unless you can prove how ridiculous it is.
Or, start another character. Like every other diablo game before it
@@brandonvoice8941 You planning to pay or grind for 20yrs, There`s no fucking way ppl are dumb enough to create multiple chars here
You are the best Rax. Thank you for sharing.
Outstanding! Nice analysis. Respect!
Thank You for mentioning the "Server Paragon Level" I had never heard this before. That's a load of shit there
your drawing skill is better than the game itself.
I grinded from 1-50 in one sitting on day1 as f2p then after hitting 60 very soon decided to spent a „a little bit“ once , thinking it would be enough but i was so wrong..so i spent almost 200€ , bought the boon thing, the prodigy path and most bundles , i was so obsessed trying to get the blood jade with my last money i got it actually even tho its only 2 star. So far im paragon 25 with 1200rating only, i have no gems left because i upgraded my 5stars to level2 (other 5 stars i have is a 3 star seeping , 2star echo and thats it) i had 2 bottle of hopes 2-3stars which i ended up using as upgrade mats. This game is stupid the upgrade requirements for gems are absurd they want duplicates of 5stars and the prices are insane without bundles. I dont think ill spend ever money again on this and gonna play f2p from now on. You just burn all that money with trying to upgrade your gems. Same thing happened to me 10years ago by the same company in hearthstone where they release meta cards and take them out of rotation/make them useless. I knew from the beginning its a p2win game but i wouldnt think u need thousands/100k to somewhat be good. I dont have the money for that i thought with 200bucks ill be settled so my advice u guys doing a goodjob dont spend any money on this even if u do get good gems they usually are only 1-3stars and need to be upgraded and at lvl 2 they already want a duplicate. While the game is very fun and addicting its sad to see how much rich people have advantage. Im gonna do my dailys from now on mostly and thats it slowly lvling that prodigys path..i love the mmo aspect of the game but they show no love for free players. Every mmo has at launch giveaways except this one. They should handout atleast 10-20legendary crests for everyone imagine being that greedy when they already one of the most wealthy company. I cant push challenge rifts as a necro past 32/33ish , path of blood 35. the game locks you out hard when you grind hard instead rewarding you, im at -40% xp since launch, im tired of having to fight for the only good farm spot in the game against the whole server. There should be way more farming spots like library its so demotivating, especially because i already did hundreds of dungeon runs, got most sets. The game wants me to grind to paragon 30 so i can upgrade my armor again but it maybe boosts your rating only up by 10-30. i still dont think a f2p player can get to 2000rating, the game really wants you to spend atleast 1k which im not a fan of. Oh and the game doesnt even really tell you that you get increased 5star dropchance if you put in 10 crests at once, so i did a bad mistake of putting them in one by one (most of them) paired with 2 rare crests which was probably a mistake. Once i started to put in 10 at once on my last 20crests i got like two seepings. And 10 crests as a f2p is impossible to get let alone even one. I dont think me or any f2p player can get to hell3. I tried farming library in hell2 yesterday which barely worked even though i could get oneshot if getting close, but thats all. Why are all the raids behind such a paywall? I just dont get it. Sure its a time progression game where they want us to slowly progress CR over the years, but there is no real progression because gems+resonance make up most of combat rating. Anyways hope you all still have a good time with the game and dont get tricked like me
that is exactly the plan blizz has - easy progression early to lure people / whales in - then make them addicted and hit them with paywalls and heavy frustrating grind in the late game when they are already invested. and here you also see the typical "whale" that is not rich at all, like these gaming companies claim to make it sound like they take from the "rich" and give to the "poor" game developers, because "they need the money". in reality the "whales" are similar to gambling addicts in casinos that get easily hooked can not see through the system that is designed to drain their pockets.
Why would you spend that much money? Cucked by Blizzard.
First of all, amazing video. More people should see this.
Secondly, thats the whole point of this scam.
You hit the wall. Now swipe.
Fuck Activision/Blizzard.
Swipe for what though? There is no content and he’s clearing everything with 40 bucks
Pvp sucks and not worth playing

That's really interesting - haven't seen a game use band aid solutions to this extent on release
LETS GOOO RAXX!! Just a little more and you'll get your UA-cam Button ^^ Grats man
hello Rax ,
I have to say it is impressiv what you have done . We all have to realise something. You (we) have been playing this game like a Diablo but in reality this is not build to be play that way. It has been truly build like a mobile gatcha game where the most power come from legendary gems which you have to pay for , not play. Yes it is sad but if you want to carry playing this game you have to change your vision of the game.
The things that as stop me to play is the difference between eternal legendary crest (which you have to pay and will be able to sell loot in auction ) and regulare legendary crest .
Meaning that even f2P or small spender will never be able to have fun , game cap everywhere excepte shop very frustrating , better get a job work 8H spend 4H work in the game to be stronger than a guy that play 20H a day ^^
Anyway been loving you content and way to explain everything good look
Was waiting for this one, caught only the ending on stream.
good god bro all of this just for you to say I am a content glutton and i have ran out of shit to do, now i must wait for new content
Point is fuck Diablo immortal period, if d4 is anything like immoral I’ll never even look at it
You are 100% spot on, and this is exactly why you see so many people AFK spooning. They are happy to leave their phones on, slowly getting 10% xp, but screw playing at that.
Wait, NetSleaze just want you to buy Crests. Nevermind. Something to do!!! That is the ONLY thing not gated.
CTRL+SCROLL in Paint you can zoom in and have more room to work with, plus when you zoom out it looks better too AND you can use fat brushes. Cmon man Paragon them Paint skillz homebwoy!
Thumbs up for the magnificent drawing.
It would appear that Wyatt Cheng was serious AF when he said 'We (Blizz) are making the game, Netease are doing the monetisation' ... Sadly cos as a mobile game, it plays great. But the time-gating & MTX issues are just crazy bad 🤷🏻♀️😢
Yep, I'm definitely going to just play Diablo III again. I still need to get that Necromancer expansion anyway.
Hitting cap as F2P is as simple as breathing in this game. Glad I can say I officially beat Diablo immortal :)
Love your ms paint skills, very impressive haha
Where do you farm your legendaries from? I'm playing dh and hit 60 night before last. Been running elder rifts and the two dungeons you said were useless for dh. I'm not getting many legendaries at all from elder rifts.
funny I started with a Necro and switched to dh when I started to get bored , I would be excited to see you play Necro cuz it feels like shit compared to d3 , challenge rifts feel terrible in general imo .
3 seconds to do shadow. Wow. We need that content
Thanks for the explanation.
I take my time and play now and then due to other responsibilities and hobbies. I guess I don't have this problem. The game is fantastic for me.
I basically did the same thing this week. Was P23 when server was P16, I had maxed out my weekly BPs, and just thought to myself ... this is pointless to grind. I'll just stack my bounties and hold onto my quests until BP reset in 3 days and crush paragon levels.
Now I can tell that I have heard the Tragedy of Darth Plageis the Wise
What dungeon would be the best for DH? And are the legendary/set drops not the same items for each dungeon????
They want people to make an alt.. and watch that EXP fly with the EXP boosts from being behind.. and maybe you buy some stuff because you know.. everything you bought is player bound ;)
OH hahah I was typing before end of video.. as I hit Save to post it you said you were going to make a necro lmao.. technically I called it before you said it! :)
That also mean they want you to pay more on alt cause guess everything you bought in cash shop is not account wide including cosmetics
Just quit the game at this point, the server paragon bullshit was honestly the final straw for f2p
Raxx I don’t know if I’m a filthy casual n don’t understand but to me it just seems like you beat the game. 95% of ppl are wayyyy behind you. I just dinged 50 and have unlimited crap to do.
I think the point is End Game content...you're inhibited in End Game unless you pay...and by that point, you've already spent $$ or hours getting there.
So whats the point in getting there/continuing.
@@sterlingarcher5698 see that’s the thing, even the whales are capped they can push pass the paragon xp debuff, or certain upgrade caps. The only thing they can do is the gems but after a point that’s futile because they are capped too. Truth is content creators are playing this game like it’s not a phone game. They did the same with Genshin and the same videos were made “ there’s nothing to do in Genshin “ they play a game designed for like 4 hours max a day for like 12 hours a day everyday lol
@@kazeoniwaban9786 Thats a fair argument! I dont play phone games much and when I do I refuse to pay so unclear on the average but it appears there are many pay gates in Diablo Immortal!
i think this design was formulated to appeal to players using mobile devices who have limited time to play. it is not designed to be a replacement for d3 or d4. the server para level buff, weekly dungeon buff rotation and daily quests would allow a player to progress without having to play the game full time. they could have a full time real life job and spend $ on it, which is the whole idea.
I have a full time job and kids dogs and I'm paragon 21 as of today combat rating of 1650 only bought battle pass
@@fATINO92307 fake news
I think the real question I want to know is did you have fun getting there at least? Could roll a different class and play through again if so
I definitely did, and a lot of time at that.
But most of the “end game” content in this game is Shadow/Immortal PvP and competitions.
I had fun for free for 20+h, but that fun was partly due to me wanting to become stronger.
Keep the game p2w, I really don’t care to compete at the top top level. But still give the f2p (or one time payment players) a chance!
this type of shit is unacceptable whether or not you think the game is 'fun'. People need to realize this and stop being willing to eat shit at some point. Grow a pair
Getting into Diablo Immortal is just begging for disappointment.
As it stands I'm only level 47 in the game, I work a lot and play other games. I can honestly say I enjoy this game flaws and all. I think diablo on the phone is really fun. Oddly I feel like people who play games and make videos/stream for a living are the most miserable.

Are set items random in dungeons or its specific which one you can get?
Dude, I'm just going to wait for D IV. GL bud, peace out.
I quit. Playing that game directly supports the greed that is Activision Blizzard. Wyatt Cheng is to Diablo: Immortal what Jay Wilson was to Diablo III in my eyes. This game and any game like it is what will slowly destroy gaming as we know it.
PAINT!!! I'm excited again.
The A at the top/toolbar of the Paint program is the FONT tool. You can use it to type words on the screen. :)
we don't come here for no font tool
it`s even better than that. you gring a dungeon till you have 2400 of those battle pass points. the new week starts, you cash them in at once, gain 10 levels and you can wait another week. and reaching those 2400 points is around 8-10 hours of playtime of elder rifts for me. you can do dungeons if you want to, just stick to one.
"there's nothing i can do except sit here and do nothing"
Diablo WAS one of my favorite franchises. I played the hell out of D1 and 2. Played 3 a bit as well, but not as much as the first two. I will not play Immortal and I'm not even going to bother with D4 either. I'm so disgusted with Blizzard that I'm just done.
rhx raxx for ur explanation, kinda sad too hear that tho.. )=
10% xp may be a crawl, but it is advancement. Just not advancement you can stomach. Too much gerbil on the running wheel, not enough reward. Welcome to the f2p mobile experience.
Wanted to finish the Battle pass -> it has a weekly cap.
Yeah the game is made so you have to play everyday but just a little.
If you play too much on a short time => capped
If you skipp too many days you will loose rewards because you can't catch up due to caps.
That's not how i see a hak'n'slash should be enjoyed.
The issue is that you're trying to play the game. You're not meant to play it, just give it money.
Guys this is weird but it is not the worse thing. Used to be like that in diablo 2. You get to around lvl 80 and leveling took so long you just go back and create a new character to start a new build and see what it is like. Not that bad of a thing. Don't waste your time if you can't get any xp do something for fun.
sit there and wait for the next day to bring some new " Energy ( Placeholder for gate, in this case Serverparagon)" Diablo Immoral sounds like every other mobile game i touched.
do we know the paragon level of the server will boost you up to 300% eventually? I know i've seen like 160%.
Only played my DH to lvl 20 so far. So what you are saying is that I should wait till server para is 60 or play really slow? Lol
I understand the disappointment, and I even understand how D:I is unfortunately monetized in many ways. However, this ultimately boils down to the same complaint we see in almost any game imaginable. "I've no-lifed the game and now I have nothing to do. Ded game/Stupid Devs/Content Drought!!!!!1"
So we don't have to play all the time this is good!
just do the daily log in, first kill of the day, claim elder crest. day/s with free time quests, dungeons, bounties, whatever...
Feels like developers have turned gaming from a fun pastime to a chore
@@jasonmullinder I'm honestly a fan of some diminishing returns or first 2 hour bonus or whatever but right now it really is a chore. I don't care for most dailies because the game becomes a chore between content drops and who needs more chores.
Love your content
The fact that blizzard punishes ppl for playing the game a lot tells you that you shouldn't be playing their games. They don't respect player time.
playing years of Wow made me worry about them making diablo 4 more of an mmo. This just makes me worry more
Nothing wrong with the model, I think this is very good for Diablo cause we get bored way too easy in Diablo but as a MMO it might be different. I mean dungeons 2 different rifts bounty`s and alot more. as a decade old D3 player I think this might save it but I have no hope for blizz anymore, I dont see them coming back from this no matter what they do. Blizz disgusting ways is the problem not the model
@@toprap88 I dunno I think d3 would have been fine but blizzard just abandoned it after canceling the second expansion
Excellent explanation. I’m really happy you are building a Necromancer! My all time favorite character to play.
Minions OP btw ;)
It's so so sad. Immortal itself is actually a really good game - destroyed by p2w
which dungones drop the set for DH? for the basic atck dmg increase etc
Why they made hell3 P80 and not 50? That's a very weird jump....
Imagine going on a date and explaining this to a girl
In the video, the text said you were about $40 into the game. I know that is the Empowered Battle Pass(20) would you mind listing what other small/smart purchases you have made for your account?
I bought the BP, along with the first 2 dungeon bundles, $1 and $5. I would not mind paying another 15-20 since I have spent many hours enjoying this game so far.
thanks!
The fact that you've done everything you can possibly do to max your f2p character and still don't have the resonance level of a single rank 1 5 star gem is shocking.
not sure if you mentioned this, but what did you spend he 40 dollars on?
how i reach the cap? i play 16hrs a day since the second the game opened.....ya thats how
it's funny how streamers are the complainers because they play these games till their eyes bleed out and then complain they have nothing to do lol it blows my mind really
i am waiting for the day he buys like a drawing pencil thing. da vinci incoming.
My expectations of this game was extremely low to begin with. D3 youtubers like you and wudi hyping up the game prior to release got my expectations up, only to come crashing down again 😂 The question now is: Would you still recommend the game to new players after a week of playing it? And why?
Honestly, this game lived up to the hype as a FREE to play game. A lot of good content still available for free, but you just won't be able to touch the endgame in terms of leaderboards and PvP which is fine by me. If you take the competitive aspect out of the game, and you casually play it. It's a pretty good game considering it costs absolutely nothing. But this depends on how much you want to play it. For someone who only has 1-2 hours a day to play, it's perfect. For someone who can game 10 hours a day, yeah this game will leave a lot to be desired.
Yes. It's ok to play for fun, but just don't be folled thinking on getting high on the leader boards or doing other stuff that requires good lg gems to get it
so I'm guessing this comment is aimed at Raxx but as some noob at 5 para atm (although I've been swapping servers) the game is fun to play with a few friends. I think spending 0-10 bucks as a squad is great but the game isn't worth much more imo.
The storyline is kinda lame, the loot system feels a lot worse because they like to remind you it'd be more if you paid, and if you spend you'll run out of stuff to do fast.
To me beating some content and being rewarded with an "extra value bundle" feels a bit like being flipped off as a tip.
@@BrianCheng24 Yea I agree with you wholeheartedly. Diablo Immortal is by no means a bad game. But if we're just talking about having fun for 1-2hours a day. I think there're plenty of games (mobile, pc or console) that could easily contend with Immortal, without having to deal with constant reminders to spend money 🤷♂️
I think it's fair to say Immortal don't stand out much when compared with the thousands of f2p mobile games or pc games available on the market now. In a lot of them, even if you choose to spend $0, you won't run into a progression brick wall Raxx did ONE WEEK into the game. That's just ridiculous 😂
Just treat it as your side game, play it for couple of minutes every day. Ni no Kuni mobile released first and its P2W AF, but Diablo Immoral took the bullet for them.
My phone broke on release date, tomorrow my replacement comes and hes already gated
You can get Legendary gems as a free to play player.
You can get about 4 or 5 per week.
Obviously the quickest and most impactful way to power up is buy those 5S gemsp
while im not sadistic enough to hit 30 with the current server paragon level I'm finding myself with nothing to do because of the amount of caps that are stopping me from actually playing and advancing in the game.
3 Server paragon each day would be nice or +10 Sever paragon on weekly reset. At this rate we have players afk farming xp in library and of course can't click on them to report them either which is a huge issue.
if you are talking about clicking players in PC it is alt+click to select a player
Ahhh the ax level mobile game experience lul. Sometimes my favourite part of a game I’m playing but when I want to do stuff it’s tough because the game tells you no… pseudo stamina system lul
Mam this sounds so similar to Genshin Impact. Where there's nothing left for the player to do except to wait for a new character, buy primogems and risk a 50/50 pull if you're lucky to get that new character. If you do, you're next problem is your resources to build that character, which requires another payment.
it’s like nobody at blizzard grinds the game
