One annoying thing I noticed during the beta was gems take up way too much space. Should have it’s own tab like elixirs.

Or just combine gems with the elixir tab because I doubt I will have 30 elixirs on hand ever.

Definitely annoying to have gems take up space in the main bag. Most of the gems at these lower levels didn't even seem worth holding onto, although I'm sure they level up to be useful later on.

PS5 God of War Edition was the same way.

God I remember this build being so legit in D2

Early Access for the non standard editions is June 1st. Haven't been this excited for a new game in a few years.

Ybarra had previously tweeted that Deluxe and Ultimate edition owners could start playing on June 2, but today he corrected that statement, saying that early access will begin at 4 pm PDT on June 1, which works out to 12 am on June 2 in Europe, and 8 am on June 2 in Asia.

DIABLO IV OPEN BETA RETROSPECTIVE: TRANSFORMING FEEDBACK INTO CHANGE

quote:

---

After the Early Access and Open Beta weekends concluded, the development team read through all your feedback and reviewed gameplay data. Using this information, we have made a variety of fixes and updates to various systems in Diablo IV, all of which will be present in the version of the game that launches on June 6. None of this would be possible without the community’s dedication and love for the Diablo universe, to which we say THANK YOU!

DUNGEONS
Dungeon Layouts
One of the most common pieces of feedback we received is that players felt they were doing a lot of backtracking within certain dungeons. We have optimized multiple dungeons across all zones to minimize the need for backtracking. Here is a list of dungeons specifically in the Fractured Peaks zone which received layout updates:

Caldera Gate
Defiled Catacombs
Derelict Lodge
Forbidden City
Hoarfrost Demise
Immortal Emanation
Kor Dragan Barracks
Maulwood
Rimescar Caverns
Developer’s Note: Our primary goal with the Layout changes was to reduce certain kinds of backtracking which detract from a player’s experience. An example of this change is that players previously needed to enter side rooms to interact with Structure Objectives, causing them to retread the same path. Now, many of our Structure Objectives have been repositioned along main dungeon pathways, making them easier for players to reach and allowing them to readily explore the dungeon after defeating the Structure.

Dungeon Events
The chance for an Event to spawn inside of a dungeon has increased from 10% to 60%.

sounds like they have been positively listening to feedback

buffs to barb a druids
dungeon redesigns
clarification on a lot of points of confusion

all good signs.

i enjoyed it a lot. its been quite some time since in played an isometric arpg like diablo and been itching for one so maybe that's part of it.

its been way too long since i played D2 so hard for me to say but its different from D3 in aesthetics and tone big time. The skills system is a branching tree system oppose to D3 where you got flat skills at level points. i prefer the tree/customization approach more.

Any chance the final release will run better than beta or was that basically the experience? Ughh my PC is starting to annoy me.

Idk what this means but they just announced a "Server Slam" to well, slam and test the servers I guess.

All changes and balancing that was made after the beta feedback will be implemented for this one.

All classes available with a Lvl 20 cap and a new mount trophy cosmetic reward for killing the world boss while being at lvl 20.

Server slam is live.
