Played this on release day for several hours, got to around lvl20. My verdict, Diablo Immortal has given me a new appreciation and invigoration for Diablo 3 again.

This game is such a waste at the moment - I had great fun playing through the campaign but they are just being much too greedy when it comes to the endgame 😔 I don’t even mind spending some money on the game, like I said I’m enjoying it but they need to meet the playerbase halfway at least on how much they clearly want people to spend…
Yes. Happy to pay a reasonable amount that your typical gamer can afford. I'm not slapping $40+ dollars a month on the table for a game just to be told that I'm still gonna be miles behind because I didn't spend $300 on Crests to farm gems.
My only real complaint is the grind cap the game has, apparently we can't gain battle XP for the Battle Pass after a certain amount, making it impossible to get to 40 without paying.
Would love to see a detailed guide on leveling from 1-60, gambling, gems, legendary gems, what to do and what not to do, where to spend any resources etc…I’m so freaking lost
This is what I do daily (I hope it helps): -All bounties -Side quests (adventurer on wm) -3 Battlegrounds -Iben Fahd's Sanctum (I'm saving keys until ~250) *Shadow contracts (I do the group ones to get some BP points too) *Assembly *Vault Raid -3 Elder rifts (to get 3 Daedessa's Blessing) -2 or 3 Bestiary Tomes -Check Raid reset (Lassal) -Check Hilts Trader And when I want to keep grinding I just farm dungeons
@@Iretammiele Same here but I also do the Zone Events. You can do Hydra, Golem, Lord Matranos, and Blood Rose daily. Blood Rose is not worth the time usually as noobs constantly get hit and heal him endlessly. Keep an eye out for chat notifying when a Zone Event is up. I do the Bestiary Tomes in Zultan Kulle Library which usually means I'll be in the area for a Hydra or Golem spawn. I'm not sure exactly what the spawn times are for Ancient Nightmare, Haunted Carriage, and Bilefen Arena. I don't think those ones are daily but I could be wrong. I do them when possible though.
@@Adam202 Well I was just saying what I do. The thing is that I find zone events to be extremely boring, time consuming, lag inducing and not very rewarding. so I just did them once. But that's just my opinion I guess
There's actually a daily cap for the Bestiary too, figured that out last night lol. Couldn't interact with the book after it telling me I had reached my limit or some shit, but I also figured out it can give you the same page, which is not a bug because there's a dumb message giving you 4.5k gold for the duplicate entry, so if anyone had plans on finishing that up quickly, think again. 🤣
Yoo Rax thanks for the videos man u do some great work making this it helps me and my mates out heaps! I'm never gonna spend cash on this game but I do enjoy the grind lol. Keep it up much love!
Bro my English is bad but ur English is so good and u explain very slowly and u make any trick very clear! Ur the best smart explainer I ever seen in videos games. I wish u keep up ur amazing man .
agreed... everyone is complaining... but they are still playing... the best move is leave the game... let it die faster so that developer wont repeat this again.. otherwise... future D4,5,6 will be like this crap
A lot of people complaining are still playing. I deleted/uninstalled because I do not want to support blizzard anymore in any of their projects. Any game from now on they release I do not want anything to do with. They’ve become a money grabbing company
Hey Rax, thanks for the tips! I moved up to Hell 2 at paragon 12, and in elder rifts I found gear with requirement paragon 12 which I could equip straight away. It was a nice surprise, I was expecting it to be P30+, like it says in the tooltip.
You still need that CR. If you want equivalent drops in elder rift, be sure to beat the challenge rift level 30. Nice side prize is that it ups the equipment found in elder rifts/vendors etc. Without beating level 30, you will not find H2 equipment at all in rifts.
I love this video because so many people are acting like it's absolutely impossible to gain any type of level of power without money. Well I'm sitting here with six legendaries and I haven't even begun to do what you're doing yet. I've just been hitting my caps.
Thank you Rax for being one of the few content makers who's not just judging anyone who wants to play this and making real content! Would love the gambling guide.
The problem is that when you're at paragon say 20 and play hell 2 it gives you the same amount of XP while monsters have much more HP which makes it way less time efficient.
Love the information thanks man I keep hearing people say you get get legendary gems tho I have like 5 at level 30 when I got them I upgraded one to level 2 i got them doing elder rifts and making them with the runes I Found I had one for free and I didn't even buy them from the hilt vendor or pay with real money 💵. Plus you can use your faded embers to buy the fa rune and make random ones which I haven't done yet I didn't want to use them in case I needed it for something.
You have 1 star or 2 star legendary gems, they aren't rare, everyone has them. What people are talking about are the 5 star legendary gems. You can't get any better than 2 star as a f2p player and the power difference between a 2 star and a 5 star is crazy high
The entire goal of caps is habit formation. Blizz is saying "Oh you can't play anymore today, come tomorrow. Oh you had time to blast today and no time tomorrow ? But you are going to lose on these bonuses and game time allowance. Think about it." I hate that, that's why I am switching to another game right after I complete the story and some of the end game activities.
This advice is pretty pointless for anyone not being able to play all day, aká their job is not playing video games. You would never get close to paragon 30 as a player that invests a "normal" amount of time in a video game before the server paragon reaches it or is at least close to 30.
Honestly it's depressing watching your videos. NOT because you make bad content, you make awesome content. Because Blizzard keeps whipping you until you give them your credit card. Keep up the awesome work.
Hey Rax, thanks for the video. I have been playing DI for a little bit on and off and I'm already at P50 and my CR is crappy. is it too late for me to farm good legendaries? Or its too late?
Raxx on raxx on raxx! Just subbed my dude keep dumping the DI content. Liked this vid I'm a free to slay player I refuse to give blizzard a fuckn dime they are so greedy but unfortunately I do like DI so I'm in a catch 22 but anyway as a free to slay player vids like this are the reason I love your channel. Best to you bro and thanks
Anyone promoting this piece of trash is helping to ensure that all games in the future will be like this. Companies will not learn while you have stupid people promoting this piece of .... or gamers like Quinn spending 8k on it.
Hi Raxx, great videos. Maybe you or someone else from Maxroll could make a Guide for the demon gates event. I see the countdown go to zero and nothing happens. I run around to find a gate but find nothing.
What I now understand about caps is that I hate them and this stinking game. From this point on unless I want to drag out a credit card... I now understand that the whole damn game is brutally favored for the HOUSE, (Blizzard) and I don't want to waste my precious time to farm, mine, rinse and repeat crap just to grow in levels and paragon systems. Thank you for the video. I am at level 57 and been on the struggle bus for a week. Joining a Warband has been impossible or creating a party, and I believe the whole friend thing is rigged unless you know people on your server. So, I'm out. I love this video. I can only imagine how many days of hours you have dedicated to this game to formulate the information needed to lay out the premise for your fans. I will not build player after player to work my way up through the muck and mire. I am not that dedicated. Thank you for your honesty.
You can get area level capped as well. Ive stopped playing because of a few issues, one being blocked from story mode until you level up. Ive been blocked 4 times before level 50. I clear all the monster's along the way, but because monster's aren't loaded in before entering the area and keep spawning in , you cant full clear like previous diablo games. I used bounties to level to needed thresholds. Also I play solo and F2P, so forcing players to group up to continue a quest sucks.
Seeing how scummy they are, i bet the reason they force you to group up with other players, is thag they want f2p player to encounter a whale and feel inferior/envious of better stats or looks and get him f2p player tempted into throwing cash at them to get same stuff. Or a similar psychological trick.

Or a similar psychological trick.
You were blocked 4 times because you most probably rushed the story. Not that it's your fault of this design but I feel like it's an incentive to make you inevitably move onto trying other game activities like Bounties, Rifts etc. I feel like I only did a handful of bounties (in hindsight to what I do now after lvl 60) during the Campaign and I got blocked twice, which I quickly overcame in like 10 minutes because I was already too close to the cap. Didn't ever feel forced to go do other things either, I just did whatever came up in my vicinity while killing stuff while at whatever task I had to complete/ move on with the story or accepted the occasional Hidden Lair invite.
@@Mk_Otaid The thing is I never rush through the story. I followed the navigation, clearing the map along the way( like edge of map to edge of map towards the location), I stopped to do side quests quite a few times, did a few rifts and bounties along the way. I was invited to do a few hidden lairs as well. I even did a few campaign quests twice. I think a big problem is that the monsters don't spawn in fast enough, or enough before hand. I stopped playing when I had to group up to continue the story. I play solo most of the time (I enjoy Lore, so I usually take it slow and by myself the first playthrough) and only group up with current friends, none of which tried this game.
Great video. How are you getting so much dust? I'm grinding but using them as soon as possible and can never save up that much. gear all at 5-6. paragon 34. combat rating still not high enough for hell 2
He's botting in low level areas. There's no way. Right now I'm Paragon 35 and have found maybe 40 legendaries. And don't get me started on scrap. There's no other way he could have all those resources and not gain massive exp while farming it...unless you use an auto clicker in a low lv area without worry of dying lol.
Even farming in bestiary is capped. When you do this in like 4 days straight you'll run into a cap that prevents you from getting any XP further from all battle pass objects. There you'll need to wait until next week when the cap is reset.
I don't get something (maybe because I missed it and you explained it already) do you get more of these lvl 30 paragon items if you farm them when you're at paragon level 20? Or are you just doing it so when you'll get to level 30 you'll boost your battle rating?
Yeah use to get amazing legendary gear at that level. Paragon 53 now and all the legendary gear I get is horrible. Identified 26 items at once and not one single one of them were better. I'm lost man. Just insane.
i liked the game, im not going to pay a single cent in that game, i dont care about competitive in a mobile game, im able to enjoy a game wihout getting mad about competitive, i dont care if people waste their money in this game, because i know people who waste more money in drugs and alcohol... so is not the worst thing to spend money,,, if u enjoy it..
This game is fomo, all they want is you to do dailies. Why even play, the entire reason I loved diablo 3 was I could play 72 hours straight and gain a small amount of power every couple hours.
Hey rax hows it going, can you please make a guide on the legendary gear drop where does it drop like visitants sign, baleful trinity for example im have a hard time on where to posibly farm these items
Honestly, unless you’re 10 hour a day mega-grinder, you don’t need to be farming the map like that. There plenty of content that give progression and it’s more efficient. Quests, Shadow stuff, dailys, Zone events, and then just going around figuring out how the game works and how you can improve your character without dropping $$$ and using the vendors. Using vendors takes time until you understand the game and become more efficient at it.
For couple of days I thought I found a new home in this game. Then I tried BG and Challenge rift and realized Im homeless again. Even if p2w wasnt there, endgame at that state would last one week mx for me. It is shame, I return to nintendo games until poe 2 is issued. ... and monster Hunter coming to switch so not a bad time :D
My huge issue w/ this game is that I level up quick because I work hard to obtain experience but this XP does not help increase the combat rating. My final conclusion, you have to f$$kin pay to move forward. Today I'm Paragon 191 w/ 2646, and cannot step a foot on H4. Everything reaches a cap quite quickly, w/ leg gems and leg items which are insanely difficult to obtain, upgrading gear is another hell. I played D2 as a kid, D3 as a grown up... I will probably lose hope on this one, and pray w/ D4 I can be back.
This is a great video to be quite honest I wasn’t a fan of the Diablo series before however this game is really good and it sad how much hate it’s getting because of the way they’re pushing Spending money online
I wish they just kept developing Diablo3 and funded the development with a cosmetic shop. Diablo Immortal is basically a simplified Diablo 3 with the disgusting aspects of a mobile game.
you said ' as a free player, you will never get this ( legendary gems)' , but that is not true, you can get legendary gems with no pay , just working the rifts
I have been farming everyday for 5 hrs.... Paragon 27 rn but the legendaries that drop are 90% worse than my current gear.My combat is like 850 on P27,not because I didn't farm but rather cause the RnG is so weird...You would expect when u level up u would get higher quality gear but the gear I get keeps on degrading....
Shadow lottery gains you access to the Shadows where you can join a clan with objectives that also has a shadow war that is a quick 60 seconds -7min PVP mode.
the problem is there's caps on what you can do as a f2p but none on the p2w part, you'll always be behind someone that pays and you'll never be able to catch up even though you invest A LOT of time into the game
Lol, when I saw tuns of people in the Hidden Alcove yesterday my first thought was that it must be the easiest place to farm in the game and I guess I was right XD
As a shadow you can do 3 contracts a day.... and you can raid the vault multiple times a day.. after a run there's a 10 minute wait till you can do it again...
I dont think you realize what you are advocating. Its literally the worst system for any f2p, ever. This GUARANTEES that a f2p will never be able to overpower a p2w. The only option a f2p has is to grind more than the p2w and get more paragon levels and better gear drops. With this system, its impossible to gain an advantage with your time and effort, only your wallet. Also, why should my time not be respected and restricted because of others? Fairness and equality is one of those things that people say they want on paper, but in practice they never choose it.
@@boogienightsmarkwahlberg6011 You assume that only f2p spend time? If not for that system some ppl would be paragon 100 by now with the reduced exp they get. I am only 6 paragon less than my server average and I play 3 other games.
@@steliosmamatas2970 If they put in the TIME to grind to 100 gon then yes, they absolutely DESERVE to be at 100 gon. And no, why would I assume only f2p spend time? Thats not what I said. I said that the only way a f2p can keep up with p2w is thru grinding more than others. This game artificially nerfs xp gains. It has no such nerf for microtransactions. Meaning you can spend as much as you want, and you can play as much as you want, but you will only be rewarded for playing a certain amount. Also, while I play multiple games as well, why should the fact that you play 3 have and not only 1 have any impact on someone who only plays DI? Is it their fault you like 3 games? You give DI the amount of time you want to give it, and you should be directly rewarded for the time you dedicate to it. You should NOT be rewarded in DI for playing 3 other games. Other players should NOT be penalized for you playing 3 other games.
@@boogienightsmarkwahlberg6011 Games need to have catch up mechanics for newer players. Yes it will be hard or impossible to catch up to spenders but newer players can catch up to f2p this is why I like it.
I have been farming on Hell 2 and gotten a few legendaries to drop from different sources but they're not dropping at paragon 30. The only lego that did was from the Hydra, any idea why? I'm currently paragon 25.
I do agree the strategy you put out. However, I’m already struggling to pass 1050 CR at lvl 60 (25) as I’m trying to farm better gear. I don’t know how else can I raise my CR at this point.
I'm at 60 (30) and only 1069 CR. I can't do H2; I just get annihilated. I haven't had a legendary drop that's actually an upgrade in the last week. My best hope for CR seems to be to get jewelry upgrades to rank 2, but I don't have enough time to in the day to farm the materials for that. My resonance is only 240 because I've had really bad luck with rare crests, and used up my Ati runes to convert into gem power. I'm buying the cheap 2-star gems off the market for gem power with the platinum I make from selling unbound gems, but that's still incredibly slow. It'll probably be paragon 40 before I can start to farm H2, let alone be appropriately geared for it.
@@ChrisMcFadyen Though it was just me, Nice to know others are struggling. I'm the same Paragon 30 switched to hell and takes ages to kill any mob and I'm dead in 1-2 hits, No way I can farm hell II.
I have same problem. I also cant figure out how much material for upgrading items you have Raxx. I farmed a loot, using bounties, rift, Gambling… always miss blue and, most of all, gold materials. And have very low legendary drop rate, i had zero drop rate After 2 Hours of game last day. It is frustrating. Really. The biggest downside of the game to me. Diablo is all about farming and upgrading equipment, in general. In diablo Immortal i feel it is really too low. I’m thinking of disinstalling the game just for this reason. I don’t know of it is just bad luck, not sure anymore after this video
there is a cap on bestiary, kind of. you have 20 pages unlocked, I have 19 unlocked. I've played quite casually. Done 3 a day. Try turning more than 3 in one day and you'll "unlock" old monsters. but yeah xp wise its good
Its not about unlocking the monsters. Its about the XP and battle pass points. Those are unlimited. At least until battlepass is maxed. Then it's just XP. But a decent chunk
I am Lv 117 I played like 4-5 weeks now for free and you just need to keep your paragon Lv as close as the servers Lv and you don’t really need to grind AS MUCH AS POSSIBLY because you don’t really need too. I have 5 gems that are 2 stars and one 1 star lol and if you lv up faster then the usual server Lv you get do nerf. Don’t buy anything unnecessary with Hilts, try and buy Crests and the normal pink damage gem.
I've had now a few times already that I killed that legendary (dark orange) mob without any Legendary drop.. is this a bug or? I thought it was a guarantee drop
I played summoners war which is a FREE TO PLAY pay to win game and I sunk money in it over the years I played and the only reason I did was cause I could farm mythic scrolls and stuff all the time..so you could as free to play do really well obviously the people who have payed a lot of money will have better monsters but the runes are pretty much what made the biggest difference and those were all earnable as well as buyable if they had just removed this crest system and just made it so the elder rift allows you to add multiplyers and after x amount will grant you a chance at a legendary gem THEN if you still sold the eternal crests those could guarantee the gem to drop and everything would be fine..I’d play this game and I’d be willing to drop a decent amount of money in it this game is the reason for the first time I won’t buy a new diablo game until after I see someone review it for being pay to play
The 3rd way is, use someone else’s credit card so you remain F2P. Joking aside, it’s a lose lose battle. P2W players will spend until they have an absolute advantage over dolphins, minnow and f2p.
But thumbs up for putting an effort in to show a path for f2p to gain a small advantage.
It's not a losing battle if you are having fun

Just farm rifts and raids and bounties

-All bounties
-Side quests (adventurer on wm)
-3 Battlegrounds
-Iben Fahd's Sanctum (I'm saving keys until ~250)
*Shadow contracts (I do the group ones to get some BP points too)
*Assembly
*Vault Raid
-3 Elder rifts (to get 3 Daedessa's Blessing)

I'm not sure exactly what the spawn times are for Ancient Nightmare, Haunted Carriage, and Bilefen Arena. I don't think those ones are daily but I could be wrong. I do them when possible though.
@@Adam202 Well I was just saying what I do. The thing is that I find zone events to be extremely boring, time consuming, lag inducing and not very rewarding. so I just did them once. But that's just my opinion I guess
There's actually a daily cap for the Bestiary too, figured that out last night lol. Couldn't interact with the book after it telling me I had reached my limit or some shit, but I also figured out it can give you the same page, which is not a bug because there's a dumb message giving you 4.5k gold for the duplicate entry, so if anyone had plans on finishing that up quickly, think again. 🤣
im never playing this game but this is weirdly interesting regardless
I am addicted to this shit not gonna lie tho..
it's really a good solid rpg but NETEASE pay to win strategy is really effected this game...
@@vitadude5004 if you like getting fucked why not play lost ark lol, its a far better game in every way, is it too hard for you
Yoo Rax thanks for the videos man u do some great work making this it helps me and my mates out heaps! I'm never gonna spend cash on this game but I do enjoy the grind lol. Keep it up much love!
Sick! Good strategy dude! I like your style!
Bro my English is bad but ur English is so good and u explain very slowly and u make any trick very clear!
Ur the best smart explainer I ever seen in videos games.
I wish u keep up ur amazing man .
Honestly… I just don’t care anymore. Blizzard doesn’t deserve any more second chances. They ruined it. We all need to move on.
agreed... everyone is complaining... but they are still playing... the best move is leave the game... let it die faster so that developer wont repeat this again.. otherwise... future D4,5,6 will be like this crap
A lot of people complaining are still playing. I deleted/uninstalled because I do not want to support blizzard anymore in any of their projects. Any game from now on they release I do not want anything to do with. They’ve become a money grabbing company
I'm back on d2r its pretty great
I’m sorry but I’m having fun playing and not planning on stopping anytime soon.
Poe > any diablo now
Hey Rax, thanks for the tips! I moved up to Hell 2 at paragon 12, and in elder rifts I found gear with requirement paragon 12 which I could equip straight away. It was a nice surprise, I was expecting it to be P30+, like it says in the tooltip.
hell 2, not valid on elder rift
You still need that CR. If you want equivalent drops in elder rift, be sure to beat the challenge rift level 30. Nice side prize is that it ups the equipment found in elder rifts/vendors etc. Without beating level 30, you will not find H2 equipment at all in rifts.
I love this video because so many people are acting like it's absolutely impossible to gain any type of level of power without money. Well I'm sitting here with six legendaries and I haven't even begun to do what you're doing yet. I've just been hitting my caps.
Lol. Wait till you try for legendary gems. Then maybe you'll understand why.
@@victortan326 I already have six legendary gems and one of them is at rank four and the rest rank two
Another great video from Raxx. Love your content!
Thank you you're amazing and the advice kicks ass. Doing it! Paragon 19 now.
Thank you Rax for being one of the few content makers who's not just judging anyone who wants to play this and making real content! Would love the gambling guide.
You can change the video playback speed
Really informative video, thanks
good luck mate 👍
I love how hes talking semi serious semi sarcastic etc :D
The problem is that when you're at paragon say 20 and play hell 2 it gives you the same amount of XP while monsters have much more HP which makes it way less time efficient.
Obviously. The key is PRE FARMING new items to get INSTA boost when u reach paragon 30...
this is gear farming .. not xp farming, the beastiary is the xp farming
@@MrXennhorn u have a point!
nice knowing this.. i was about to start grinding hell 2 at paragon 26..
@@MrXennhorn how do you gear farm without exp farming at the same time? The only way I know how is if you were botting in a low level area lol...
Love the information thanks man I keep hearing people say you get get legendary gems tho I have like 5 at level 30 when I got them I upgraded one to level 2 i got them doing elder rifts and making them with the runes I Found I had one for free and I didn't even buy them from the hilt vendor or pay with real money 💵. Plus you can use your faded embers to buy the fa rune and make random ones which I haven't done yet I didn't want to use them in case I needed it for something.
You have 1 star or 2 star legendary gems, they aren't rare, everyone has them. What people are talking about are the 5 star legendary gems. You can't get any better than 2 star as a f2p player and the power difference between a 2 star and a 5 star is crazy high
The entire goal of caps is habit formation.
Blizz is saying "Oh you can't play anymore today, come tomorrow. Oh you had time to blast today and no time tomorrow ? But you are going to lose on these bonuses and game time allowance. Think about it."
I hate that, that's why I am switching to another game right after I complete the story and some of the end game activities.
Switch now before they manage to break you down and begin the circular purchase history nonsense.
Sadly dont have enough time to farm exp, still at only 16 paragon. But learnt few things from you today, thanks alot :)
Interesting advice. I'm barely paragon 11 so this wouldn't help me, but I'll keep it in mind when I run out of things to do.
This advice is pretty pointless for anyone not being able to play all day, aká their job is not playing video games. You would never get close to paragon 30 as a player that invests a "normal" amount of time in a video game before the server paragon reaches it or is at least close to 30.
Honestly it's depressing watching your videos.
NOT because you make bad content, you make awesome content.
Because Blizzard keeps whipping you until you give them your credit card.
Keep up the awesome work.
I'm lvl 60(10) f2p still having plenty of fun and getting gear , just a whole lot more grinding than p2w
that's sick you made it there, i stoped at lvl 49, i honestly don't have much time to play it so it would have took me weeks to get there lol
P2w has to grind the same amount, they just have more power
@@MegaBluntwrap not quite they can get gems 10x faster then f2p with legendary crests , with more power they can clear everything faster = faster xp
@@sangan7641 I've always liked diablo so that's half the reason I'm enjoying I reckon
Hey Rax, thanks for the video. I have been playing DI for a little bit on and off and I'm already at P50 and my CR is crappy. is it too late for me to farm good legendaries? Or its too late?
Raxx on raxx on raxx! Just subbed my dude keep dumping the DI content. Liked this vid I'm a free to slay player I refuse to give blizzard a fuckn dime they are so greedy but unfortunately I do like DI so I'm in a catch 22 but anyway as a free to slay player vids like this are the reason I love your channel. Best to you bro and thanks
The best guide ever for f2p. Thanks bro.
That was the best Diablo video. Thank you dude for the info.
The more videos like this I watch the more I realize that the only way of "winning" this game is not installing it at all.
your channel is very cool, it's very good that you show that you don't need to pay to make good content, one question, what was that $40 you spent on?
Anyone promoting this piece of trash is helping to ensure that all games in the future will be like this. Companies will not learn while you have stupid people promoting this piece of .... or gamers like Quinn spending 8k on it.
Yea these types of games need to die off watch the next Diablo 4 have this garbage
Yoooooo!! Legendary bro!! Thank you for this info
Hi Raxx, great videos. Maybe you or someone else from Maxroll could make a Guide for the demon gates event. I see the countdown go to zero and nothing happens. I run around to find a gate but find nothing.
What I now understand about caps is that I hate them and this stinking game. From this point on unless I want to drag out a credit card... I now understand that the whole damn game is brutally favored for the HOUSE, (Blizzard) and I don't want to waste my precious time to farm, mine, rinse and repeat crap just to grow in levels and paragon systems. Thank you for the video. I am at level 57 and been on the struggle bus for a week. Joining a Warband has been impossible or creating a party, and I believe the whole friend thing is rigged unless you know people on your server. So, I'm out. I love this video. I can only imagine how many days of hours you have dedicated to this game to formulate the information needed to lay out the premise for your fans. I will not build player after player to work my way up through the muck and mire. I am not that dedicated. Thank you for your honesty.
You can get area level capped as well. Ive stopped playing because of a few issues, one being blocked from story mode until you level up. Ive been blocked 4 times before level 50.
I clear all the monster's along the way, but because monster's aren't loaded in before entering the area and keep spawning in , you cant full clear like previous diablo games. I used bounties to level to needed thresholds. Also I play solo and F2P, so forcing players to group up to continue a quest sucks.
Seeing how scummy they are, i bet the reason they force you to group up with other players, is thag they want f2p player to encounter a whale and feel inferior/envious of better stats or looks and get him f2p player tempted into throwing cash at them to get same stuff.
Or a similar psychological trick.

Apparently the goal is to hibernate your characters and save all your progress.
You were blocked 4 times because you most probably rushed the story. Not that it's your fault of this design but I feel like it's an incentive to make you inevitably move onto trying other game activities like Bounties, Rifts etc. I feel like I only did a handful of bounties (in hindsight to what I do now after lvl 60) during the Campaign and I got blocked twice, which I quickly overcame in like 10 minutes because I was already too close to the cap. Didn't ever feel forced to go do other things either, I just did whatever came up in my vicinity while killing stuff while at whatever task I had to complete/ move on with the story or accepted the occasional Hidden Lair invite.
@@Mk_Otaid The thing is I never rush through the story. I followed the navigation, clearing the map along the way( like edge of map to edge of map towards the location), I stopped to do side quests quite a few times, did a few rifts and bounties along the way. I was invited to do a few hidden lairs as well. I even did a few campaign quests twice. I think a big problem is that the monsters don't spawn in fast enough, or enough before hand. I stopped playing when I had to group up to continue the story. I play solo most of the time (I enjoy Lore, so I usually take it slow and by myself the first playthrough) and only group up with current friends, none of which tried this game.
Great video. How are you getting so much dust? I'm grinding but using them as soon as possible and can never save up that much. gear all at 5-6. paragon 34. combat rating still not high enough for hell 2
He's botting in low level areas. There's no way. Right now I'm Paragon 35 and have found maybe 40 legendaries. And don't get me started on scrap. There's no other way he could have all those resources and not gain massive exp while farming it...unless you use an auto clicker in a low lv area without worry of dying lol.
Even farming in bestiary is capped. When you do this in like 4 days straight you'll run into a cap that prevents you from getting any XP further from all battle pass objects. There you'll need to wait until next week when the cap is reset.
800 COMBAT RATING as an f2p............. Now I'm depressed over what I have been doing wrong
This guy has amazing knowledge, thank you from my heart
The vault can be raided once every 10mins when it's up
I don't get something (maybe because I missed it and you explained it already) do you get more of these lvl 30 paragon items if you farm them when you're at paragon level 20? Or are you just doing it so when you'll get to level 30 you'll boost your battle rating?
the caps don't make me feel good, but it's not really making me want to spend money. I want to quit.
Would be interested on that gambling guide you talked about :D
Yeah use to get amazing legendary gear at that level. Paragon 53 now and all the legendary gear I get is horrible. Identified 26 items at once and not one single one of them were better. I'm lost man. Just insane.
Thank you so much bro just subbed. Really good explanation
Wyatt Cheng approves your Necro.
i liked the game, im not going to pay a single cent in that game, i dont care about competitive in a mobile game, im able to enjoy a game wihout getting mad about competitive, i dont care if people waste their money in this game, because i know people who waste more money in drugs and alcohol... so is not the worst thing to spend money,,, if u enjoy it..
This game is fomo, all they want is you to do dailies. Why even play, the entire reason I loved diablo 3 was I could play 72 hours straight and gain a small amount of power every couple hours.
Hey rax hows it going, can you please make a guide on the legendary gear drop where does it drop like visitants sign, baleful trinity for example im have a hard time on where to posibly farm these items
appreciate the info but aren't the f2p players still going to be capped by the resonance if they cant manage to craft the high level legendary gems?
very very gooood, thaaankss maan
It lives up to it's name, BESTiary, literally the best way to level up and finding good gears for f2p.
Honestly, unless you’re 10 hour a day mega-grinder, you don’t need to be farming the map like that. There plenty of content that give progression and it’s more efficient. Quests, Shadow stuff, dailys, Zone events, and then just going around figuring out how the game works and how you can improve your character without dropping $$$ and using the vendors. Using vendors takes time until you understand the game and become more efficient at it.
Man, u don't listen the guy. HIDDEN CAPS bro...hidden...
@@SundaeSander you're not understanding his point, the average player wont be able to hit these caps in one sitting
Hey can i ask? What does the extra value means in the one time bundle? Does it increase our loot chance or not?
Literally nothing, just market jargon to dupe you into spending money.
@@WhatWillYouFind ahh i see.. Thank you so much for the insight XD. I almost spend some money for this game
Funny how so many quit the game just before getting to P 30...
Are the items actually higher quality in any one specific area?
Thanks for the tips guy!
Very informative. Thanks bro.
You forgot to add how you gain XP slower for pushing paragon. Not everyone has 10 hours a day for 1 paragon level
For couple of days I thought I found a new home in this game. Then I tried BG and Challenge rift and realized Im homeless again. Even if p2w wasnt there, endgame at that state would last one week mx for me. It is shame, I return to nintendo games until poe 2 is issued. ... and monster Hunter coming to switch so not a bad time :D
I'm F2P, P22 on my server. One of the highest but hanging in there so far.
Always knew you were 200IQ Rax, thank you!
My huge issue w/ this game is that I level up quick because I work hard to obtain experience but this XP does not help increase the combat rating. My final conclusion, you have to f$$kin pay to move forward. Today I'm Paragon 191 w/ 2646, and cannot step a foot on H4.
Everything reaches a cap quite quickly, w/ leg gems and leg items which are insanely difficult to obtain, upgrading gear is another hell.
I played D2 as a kid, D3 as a grown up... I will probably lose hope on this one, and pray w/ D4 I can be back.
Crazy saw u in PvP on my server - u rolled us haha. I’m on MoJ server
Expect this loophole to be closed too. Whales must be protected. It’s the revenue stream for the company.
Whales can do it to though
@@bigtone7824 But it doesn't require them to pay, so Blizz won't like it.
This is a great video to be quite honest I wasn’t a fan of the Diablo series before however this game is really good and it sad how much hate it’s getting because of the way they’re pushing Spending money online
Freaking love you man! Thanks!
I wish they just kept developing Diablo3 and funded the development with a cosmetic shop. Diablo Immortal is basically a simplified Diablo 3 with the disgusting aspects of a mobile game.
Thanks again for your video. And yes, i would appreciate a video of gambling 🙂
you said ' as a free player, you will never get this ( legendary gems)' , but that is not true, you can get legendary gems with no pay , just working the rifts
I have been farming everyday for 5 hrs....
Paragon 27 rn but the legendaries that drop are 90% worse than my current gear.My combat is like 850 on P27,not because I didn't farm but rather cause the RnG is so weird...You would expect when u level up u would get higher quality gear but the gear I get keeps on degrading....
How could u have lots of scrapes? With this lvl sir
Should I join the Shadow lottery if I don't care about PVP? I'm not really sure what it is if it's not PVP stuff.
Shadow lottery gains you access to the Shadows where you can join a clan with objectives that also has a shadow war that is a quick 60 seconds -7min PVP mode.
Saw bunch of ur vids. nicely explained. More f2p content
yo dude ur a fucking genius! absolutely insane, dropped a sub and like
I prefer caps. It prevents people from speed running to max power on day 1. Caps also give me a sense of completion for the day too
the problem is there's caps on what you can do as a f2p but none on the p2w part, you'll always be behind someone that pays and you'll never be able to catch up even though you invest A LOT of time into the game
Roughly how many hours did it take to get to paragon 30?
Lol, when I saw tuns of people in the Hidden Alcove yesterday my first thought was that it must be the easiest place to farm in the game and I guess I was right XD
Yes pls your guides are straight and conscise...unless you're using paint lol
As a shadow you can do 3 contracts a day.... and you can raid the vault multiple times a day.. after a run there's a 10 minute wait till you can do it again...
You can do 3 contracts only on Monday, after reset. Every other day adds 1 contract only
I actually don't mind about the caps, like the paragon exp gained depending on your server, it's a good system for others to catch up.
I dont think you realize what you are advocating. Its literally the worst system for any f2p, ever. This GUARANTEES that a f2p will never be able to overpower a p2w. The only option a f2p has is to grind more than the p2w and get more paragon levels and better gear drops. With this system, its impossible to gain an advantage with your time and effort, only your wallet.
Also, why should my time not be respected and restricted because of others? Fairness and equality is one of those things that people say they want on paper, but in practice they never choose it.
Also, by the time I've hit the caps, I've played for about as long as I can in a night
@@boogienightsmarkwahlberg6011 You assume that only f2p spend time? If not for that system some ppl would be paragon 100 by now with the reduced exp they get. I am only 6 paragon less than my server average and I play 3 other games.
@@steliosmamatas2970 If they put in the TIME to grind to 100 gon then yes, they absolutely DESERVE to be at 100 gon.
And no, why would I assume only f2p spend time? Thats not what I said. I said that the only way a f2p can keep up with p2w is thru grinding more than others.
This game artificially nerfs xp gains. It has no such nerf for microtransactions. Meaning you can spend as much as you want, and you can play as much as you want, but you will only be rewarded for playing a certain amount.
Also, while I play multiple games as well, why should the fact that you play 3 have and not only 1 have any impact on someone who only plays DI? Is it their fault you like 3 games? You give DI the amount of time you want to give it, and you should be directly rewarded for the time you dedicate to it. You should NOT be rewarded in DI for playing 3 other games. Other players should NOT be penalized for you playing 3 other games.
@@boogienightsmarkwahlberg6011 Games need to have catch up mechanics for newer players. Yes it will be hard or impossible to catch up to spenders but newer players can catch up to f2p this is why I like it.
I have been farming on Hell 2 and gotten a few legendaries to drop from different sources but they're not dropping at paragon 30. The only lego that did was from the Hydra, any idea why?
I'm currently paragon 25.
Dude thanks big help
I do agree the strategy you put out. However, I’m already struggling to pass 1050 CR at lvl 60 (25) as I’m trying to farm better gear. I don’t know how else can I raise my CR at this point.
I'm at 60 (30) and only 1069 CR. I can't do H2; I just get annihilated. I haven't had a legendary drop that's actually an upgrade in the last week. My best hope for CR seems to be to get jewelry upgrades to rank 2, but I don't have enough time to in the day to farm the materials for that. My resonance is only 240 because I've had really bad luck with rare crests, and used up my Ati runes to convert into gem power. I'm buying the cheap 2-star gems off the market for gem power with the platinum I make from selling unbound gems, but that's still incredibly slow. It'll probably be paragon 40 before I can start to farm H2, let alone be appropriately geared for it.
@@ChrisMcFadyen Though it was just me, Nice to know others are struggling.
I'm the same Paragon 30 switched to hell and takes ages to kill any mob and I'm dead in 1-2 hits, No way I can farm hell II.
I have same problem. I also cant figure out how much material for upgrading items you have Raxx. I farmed a loot, using bounties, rift, Gambling… always miss blue and, most of all, gold materials. And have very low legendary drop rate, i had zero drop rate After 2 Hours of game last day. It is frustrating. Really. The biggest downside of the game to me. Diablo is all about farming and upgrading equipment, in general. In diablo Immortal i feel it is really too low. I’m thinking of disinstalling the game just for this reason. I don’t know of it is just bad luck, not sure anymore after this video
I'm paragon 38 and my rating is only 1002. I must be fucking retarded 😂. I swear I'm getting materials sooo slow its ridiculous.
@@Liktasyr it's simple, he bots in low level areas. Only way to get that many resources on not gain any exp.
there is a cap on bestiary, kind of. you have 20 pages unlocked, I have 19 unlocked. I've played quite casually. Done 3 a day. Try turning more than 3 in one day and you'll "unlock" old monsters. but yeah xp wise its good
Its not about unlocking the monsters. Its about the XP and battle pass points. Those are unlimited. At least until battlepass is maxed. Then it's just XP. But a decent chunk
I just got a duplicate on my 2/3 turn in today. Hopefully it’s not that important...
great video !!! thx man
The only thing not capped...is the Store :D
Thanks for the video
I am Lv 117 I played like 4-5 weeks now for free and you just need to keep your paragon Lv as close as the servers Lv and you don’t really need to grind AS MUCH AS POSSIBLY because you don’t really need too. I have 5 gems that are 2 stars and one 1 star lol and if you lv up faster then the usual server Lv you get do nerf. Don’t buy anything unnecessary with Hilts, try and buy Crests and the normal pink damage gem.
I've had now a few times already that I killed that legendary (dark orange) mob without any Legendary drop.. is this a bug or? I thought it was a guarantee drop
It's big rng, I turned my last 6 bestiary pages and no drops. Same with my last 7 contract...
I played summoners war which is a FREE TO PLAY pay to win game and I sunk money in it over the years I played and the only reason I did was cause I could farm mythic scrolls and stuff all the time..so you could as free to play do really well obviously the people who have payed a lot of money will have better monsters but the runes are pretty much what made the biggest difference and those were all earnable as well as buyable if they had just removed this crest system and just made it so the elder rift allows you to add multiplyers and after x amount will grant you a chance at a legendary gem THEN if you still sold the eternal crests those could guarantee the gem to drop and everything would be fine..I’d play this game and I’d be willing to drop a decent amount of money in it this game is the reason for the first time I won’t buy a new diablo game until after I see someone review it for being pay to play
Is this worth doing on Normal? I am 55 and havent gotten to hell yet, or maybe I just don't know how to switch it lol
what if u complete all 104 bestiary ? is it game over ? or u can turn essences over and over again ?
