I played D4 season 1-3 and took a break. Seems like there is enough updates here to come back, personally. As long as they keep improving the end game. $40 to me is not super expensive, given what I spend money on these days.
Should be $30 for one character and improving the game to where it should have been by season 3. I stopped after season 2 - I'll just join in and try my sorc build again since it was in a bad place before.
I like most of the changes. S5 was definitely the best season but there wasn't much challenging content past high pits and T8 hoards. Especially in a group. My only gripe is the paragon limits but I guess it's not that big of a deal tbh
Got the game at launch and enjoyed the campaign but the itemization wasn't interesting enough to keep me playing long after that. Looking forward to giving it another go after all the changes when the expansion drops.
I can’t wait to play as the new class at level 1 from the start as I never beat vanilla version as the starting classes just didn’t jell with me. I went with my normal sorcerer build but I didn’t like any other class besides that. But this new class looks like the dope monk from Diablo 3 and the Sorcerer mixed.
It actually sounds a bit of a jack-of-all-trades frankly. It has basically a mix of abilities/playstyles for all classes so you can kinda go your own way. I generally prefer versatile characters in most rpg's so I'm fairly amp'd for the new class.
So you don’t get 2 skill points unless you buy?! Honestly that’s pay to win Chance to upgrade glyphs is insanely frustrating Great we get to spend our time slaving the pits
So what about characters that already use paragon boards, do they not have access to them until they go back to max levels which is now 60? Or does it let you use them at 50 like before
I thought the 1-100 part of game and paragon was in a good state for s4 and 5. If its not broke y fix but its blizz we are talking about. Good vid tho.
Nothing wrong with bringing in changes in hope that the title can stay relevant But i will not spend $1 on any title after the $70 tag paid to get that game
@@Kushu122 Not even close to max level, there are already build guides out where you can make the new class do 20 quantillion damage. Levels do not mean anything when it comes to damage. All you see in the video is levels 80-120 (paragon) when 300 is the max. And gear matters, levels do not.
So basically for someone like me that played this game from beginning and then left because there was nothing more to do, now if I come back, all my characters are effed, all the item I worked so hard for are effed, every thing I liked about the game has been completely changed and they want me to be happy and pay more? This is total bs.
Not exactly. I have characters on eternal realm too. What happens is your gear gets lowered to basic tier, aka no longer max. But it’s still max rolled and masterworkedk I’d you did that. So you should be able to perform similarly to where you left off. However the top tier of the game has elevated and now you need the newer higher level gear to roll through it. This is normal for these kind of games and not a crazy change. Am I annoyed to re farm something? Sure. But I also get to do it in a different way and get new things.
I would rather they just delete the eternal characters entirely keep everything already unlocked unlock and convert all the gear into materials and gold. I don’t want to see my previously godly characters turn into useless shits, all paragon points lost all glyphs back to level one all gears useless.
@@Fextralife I'm old enough to remember when this kind of stuff was NOT normal. When a game got an expansion, it added news things without taking away things. This is one reason I'm getting to the point I don't trust these game companies anymore. It's not fair to the players who spend hours and hours playing and keeping the numbers up and getting new players to join by telling their friends what a great game this is. I really enjoyed Diablo 4 in the beginning. But these kinds of changes, and expecting players to pay for it are for me a big turn off.
@@stepheneddington1667this is how it’s worked for Diablo. Every season you start a new character. It’s just now everything is being overhauled. It’s not like a game like say Destiny, where you make your 1 character (or 3) and keep them forever. You CAN do that, but you’ll miss out on all the seasonal stuff. However, let’s say you only play as a rogue, and you have your main rogue on the eternal realm, right? Then the season starts, you can start a new rogue for the season, level it, earn all the fun stuff. Then when the season ends that seasonal rogue gets sent over to the eternal realm. You get to keep everything you earned in that season, and if you want, transfer everything that seasonal rogue earned over to your first main one. This is how Diablo has stayed “fresh” for lack of a better word, because every season something changes, and just continuing to play your already maxed character, you won’t feel those changes quite the same.
The game isn’t taking away anything, they moved the power bar up and you were never that high to start with, so you have to work up. Just for the record this kind of progression is on path of exile and nobody complaints and comes here to complain about Diablo doing the same thing. It’s weird.
Wow I'm so glad they keep making all existing gear completely useless every season. Dropping all my mythic gear I've farmed to 540 item power feels so bad
Affix is pronounced with a soft A, not a hard A. I'm sorry about being a grammar nazi but I relented when you said it that way like five times in two sentences and I wanted to die.
The way the glyphs work now is so garbage... There was no reason to change that.. Pits r just as boring as NMd atleast in NMd i could just mindlessly run them get everything to 21 ans be done with it... Lvl 100 glyphs??? Like y blizzard there is just so many dumb changes... S5 was amazing s6 seems like ita gonna kinda suck cause its gonna be so different. Im still hyped but i dont like alot of the changes. They should have just added or improved s5.
That's how seasons have always worked on almost any game. You can still play your originally leveled characters. They just won't be doing the seasonal activities.
Compiling things that were promised on day 1 into a 100$ expansion is greasy and for that reason i wont play d4 ever again. POE 2 is comnig anyways that will be F2P. Get bent blizz.

Best game content on UA-cam by far… does this man ever sleep!?
this is the best video guide for returning players. and I hope diablo 4 season 6 does not disappoint and has improved for the better.
thanks for the video fextra!
Glad this game keeps enhanced

@@DirtyRandyTaco so are you getting the expansion? I’m looking for folks that wanna group together in new game starting at level 1
So can you only do the dark citadel once a week? Or is the reward the only lock out?
As a very new player to Diablo 4, this kind of video is much appreciated
so ready.
How did bro know I'm gonna replay this😮
are glyph levels shared between characters? also 2-4 players is NOT a raid.
So you don’t get 2 skill points unless you buy?! Honestly that’s pay to win
Chance to upgrade glyphs is insanely frustrating
Great we get to spend our time slaving the pits
IMHO what you can do if you dont own the expansion and vice versa is well balanced.
Is this update live for d4 yet?
Monday night.
@@dvdgnz1 thanks 🙏
good update
So what about characters that already use paragon boards, do they not have access to them until they go back to max levels which is now 60? Or does it let you use them at 50 like before
Your eternal realm character gets converted to a paragon character with points equivalent to what you have. So you just gain skill points
Is the new class and all these features part of a free update, or is it looked behind a pay dlc?
So they charge for cosmetic armors, you really think Bli$$ard is going to give you a new act, cut scenes, story, and a new class for free? HAHAHA
The new class is part of the expansion and paid. The new skills for all classes as well as system changes etc are for everyone as part of free patches
I thought the 1-100 part of game and paragon was in a good state for s4 and 5. If its not broke y fix but its blizz we are talking about. Good vid tho.
What's mythic items
Special purple items with very powerful bonuses, available for all classes
Nice changes to the game, but I will wait since POE II is right around the corner
So I guess this makes all my mythic gear I spent so long getting on my eternal character moot.
I haven’t touched the game since I beat the campaign the first go around
Nothing wrong with bringing in changes in hope that the title can stay relevant
But i will not spend $1 on any title after the $70 tag paid to get that game
The change to making the game super grindy sounds really bad. This season is going in the right direction with this exception.
bold of you to assume i want to comeback and do the exact same thing i did for 400hrs when the game first came out.
THEY FINALLY REMOVED THE TRILLION DAMAGE NUMBERS! FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYY I FUCKING HATED IT SO MUCH
No thery didn't, they just tried. We have quantillion trillion damage now.
@@turakaisenvideot nopp, max level doing 15k dmg is what it is

Still not gonna play this game
It's ok. Have you considered a part time job at McDonald's or something?
Ok
@@lokofaith are you asking me that cause you know this game is a cash grab?
so every new season you not only have to level up character but grind to improve all gears...
pls blizzard let us use already leveled up characters
That's how seasons have always worked on almost any game. You can still play your originally leveled characters. They just won't be doing the seasonal activities.
welcome to arpg
Dont buy this game thats it
Orrrrrr buy it if you want lol
Y u watching a d4 video if it sux so bad. jeez
Definitely buy it

I thought this game died from the start.
Like half of this video is old information from previous seasons...
Changes since LAUNCH is what it says. Tons of players didn’t play any of these seasons or at least not all of them.
First
Game still bad
