DrDamn When is the MS Activision deal expected to go through now? I thought it was about April next year, but I guess it may well be later.
Brave Le sigh https://www.eurogamer.net/diablo-4-development-plagued-by-chaos-and-mismanagement-claims-new-report
Gordon Closed beta starts at 4pm today. I’ve got it preloaded, hope it’s good and hasn’t been Activision-ed.
Gordon Managed to play for about half an hour yesterday. Now get stuck at “queued” forever. Seems to be a known issue for people who logged in at 4pm yesterday and then got booted not long after, which I did. Still it seemed fun when I could actually play it. Seems slower-paced and more challenging than D3.
Brave Ok, so two things. It apparently works very well indeed on deck And also it has crossplay and cross progression. I may end up double dipping.
Gordon Brave FFS. I bought D3 on PS3, PS4 and Switch. I’m not doing that again* (*) I’m totally doing it again
DrDamn Obligatory - it’s possibly coming to GamePass - so that has you covered on a couple of places. Depends on the MS/Activision deal obviously. They have said there are no plans, but that’s what they’d have to say isn’t it? If the deal goes through then it will.
Jogort £60!! for standard edition on PC, now I expect that price for console but can usually get better price on PC games
Gordon Brave I got to 20 on my sorcerer earlier. It feels like the skills are just starting to open up and more interesting gear is starting to drop. I was a little disappointed initially that many of the skills were pretty much the same as the D3 wizard but there does seem to be a decent amount of scope for customisation by the looks of it. I’ll probably be on this evening (queues permitting) if you fancy trying a bit of co-op.
Brave Gordon I’ll probably be on this evening (queues permitting) if you fancy trying a bit of co-op. 50/50 for tonight I’m afraid. I get a year older tomorrow so I’ll probably be chilling with Rachel. She has surprised me by being quite into the game though so either she or me might be playing for a while 🙂
Jogort What system you guys playing it on, do you need to pre order to get the beta? Always enjoyed D2 years ago, might give this a shot
Brave Jogort it seems to be cross everything matey. Rachel’s pre ordered it on ps5 and I’m going to get it on steam deck. Should be able to continue on either/any of the platforms (don’t think it’s on switch though)
Jogort I think the beta is open to anyone with battle.net account for pc but needs to be pre ordered to access beta on ps5. Game is released in June I think and I’m busy all summer so will just try the battle.net beta
Gordon Jogort I think this weekend the beta is open everywhere including PS5. Last weekend was the preorder only closed beta.
Jogort Aaaaaand still can’t play…apparently I setup battle.net authenticator at some point years ago. Must have been on an old phone as I have nothing on my current phone. Needs restore codes etc for adding to new phone. Contacted blizz and awaiting a solution, apparently can take days to remove authenticator from an account 🤣🤣🤬
Gordon Jogort Last weekend there was an issue with some battle.net accounts getting locked out. I ended up just making a new one, there’s nothing attached to the old one I care about, just hundreds if not thousands of hours of WoW and Hearthstone, neither of which I’ll ever play again.
