Howdy folks. Looking at getting the game in a week or two when I am not broke af and get paid at this new job.

Been playing Diablo 2 Remaster and some POE for a few days and just curious how you guys think they compare to D4 currently? Is running a two handed sword necro any fun? And how is visual gear progression, is it mainly locked behind MTX?

I've played some og D2 back in the day and played quite a lot of FATE as a kid and teenager, and quite a lot Grim Dawn as well a few years ago. Had the itch to get back to this genre again and after playing a a bit D2:R and POE I think I'll have the itch for a while aha.

Thanks for any input you guys might have

Hey and welcome to lemmy^^ All the other comments and maybe my 2 cents here: blizzard is following a simple rule, easy to learn hard to master. All other games had a lot of time to geat there weaknesses polished out and add content over time. The story of D4 is solid, sidequests are well written too. The Game is pricy but it should hold up for some years. i'm already on 192 hours over 3 chars and counting.

2H Sword is at the moment the best weapon you can use on Necros, since each weapon class has it own fixed affix. Cosmetics are pretty solid, you can totally ignore the ingame shop. I think we will see the trend with the new season.

How are you tracking your playtime? I wish I could track mine on PC.

There is a site named D4Armory where you can check your gear stats and playtime, idk who's behind it but i got it working with my ID, wouldn't recommend to use the login though.
