I may give the expansion a try, I'm just not feelin D4 at all really. Could have been the monitor on the 9800x3d box. Just didn't work as well on a 5120x1440.

Maybe when I get the Intel 270k box up and going with a 4k, I'll give it a swing again.

For me, It is getting bored quick, once you play through new content, or get up in the 200+ levels, as we know, it is just a grind over and over trying to hit those higher pit levels for some special armor you don't have yet, and just mowing down most events, to then get 1 shot killed by a the executioner sky sword you didnt see coming :D

I'm enjoying the campaign so far, I played through a good portion of it last night as the paladin. I don't know if the game is better than before, or if the paladin is just well made so it's more enjoyable. But so far I'm having a good time. I'm guessing once I hit end game I'll get bored quickly again and shelve it, who knows though anything is possible.

I'd say a mix of both.

I'm hoping the changes and "improvements" they've made to the end game with this expansion brings back the classic Diablo fun. I don't have high hopes but there is some hope.
 
Hopefully it can bring some life back, it could be because my days of D2 were spent raiding with 1 or 2 other people and working that grind, which seemed more rewarding than D4, but I also tend to just jump in solo and do my thing...
 
Apparently this season is going to be really short, just 55 days. But it also requires massive amounts of grinding, more than previous seasons.
 
What really blows my mind is how janky and poorly this game still runs after 3 years and it was never a visual or technological power house, even at launch.

Interesting to hear. I haven't paid much attention. The pricing scheme isn't great. As a new player at least I'd be paying $70 for everything but $40 per dlc expansion etc. is crazy.

The blizzard of old is dead, polish is no longer a thing there. It really is the least refined game they've ever made. It feels like any other studio could've made it. It's an average game, not a great one.

runs fine for me on the asrock BC-250 and my windows VM with a virtual Intel b50 pro slice. 60 fps at native res 1080p

Yeah, I haven't played POE2 in over a year, but that game was a microstutter mess and ran like gutter trash on the steam deck. Diablo 4 scales extremely well. It runs well on the steam deck, but you can crank everything up bigly on a high powered PC with high resolution textures, ray tracing, and it supports dlss + framegen.
 
My wife really wanted to try the latest expansion. Against my better judgement we fired it up tonight. What a fucking cringe fest. "men are weak" blah blah blah. Don't waste your money on this bullshit. You can't even check out after choosing which of 100 versions of the game to buy without them asking you again "are you sure you don't want to upgrade you experience? " Fuck this shit. Newer is not better.

Huh, I'm playing D4 on PC and I've had worse stalls / stutter in this game than PoE 2, but I also played PoE 2 last season. Can't say anything about steam deck in particular, so it might be a different bottleneck.
 
This expansion is fucking fantastic. Been having a blast on my Druid. Just got these to roll close to perfect on the cube. I almost fainted with that +gem % on the starless skies
