XxEvil AshxX Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Sigh.. okay so what I played was really cool. I waited in the queue for about 20 minutes (even though estimated was 55), watched the fucking cool intro scene, played for about five minutes then had to turn it off because something else came up. I'll try again tonight when the entire rest of the country is in the queue. Even though i'm 1000% sure I'll get this day one anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eventide11 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Played for about an hour and yeah.. That intro..dayum. This jumped ALL the way up to day one without a doubt. That smoothness.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyHell Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Im averaging 138fps maxed, which is nice for a laptop. I haven’t brought it to my desk to try on the ultra-wide yet, maybe tomorrow. Just playing it on the the 165hz monitor for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 So is the reason the game isn’t releasing until June, because that’s when the servers will be ready? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPDunks4 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Queue times, including last weekend, have always listed about twice as long as it actually takes. At least for the 3 times I had to wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxEvil AshxX Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Just put in about an hour or so... omg it's so good. I have to say... as someone who is a pretty big fan of ARPG dungeon hack n slash games, I don't think I've ever given a shit about the story in any of them. But damn I have to admit, this time it's got its hooks in. These cutscenes are damn good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodyHell Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Level 20 with the Druid, and im really enjoying it. Tomorrow I’ll play Barb and Necromancer a bit. when the servers are working, it’s incredible. Just need those servers stabilized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm noticing a lot more lag in the servers this week when there was pretty much NONE at all last week. Pretty sure they'll have it worked out before the weekend is out and definitely before launch. Game is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Damn this is exactly what I want out of a new Diablo game. I've been pretty underwhelmed the last several years of major releases. This year seems to be chock full of incredible stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Got a guy to Level 20 and as much as I’m loving the game I’m done. I want to have as much fresh as possible in June. Game is everything I was hoping for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osxmatt Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Heads up for those playing this weekend: a hotfix this morning removed the option to change fullscreen resolution. You need to scale it using the resolution slider now. Diablo IV Open Beta - Patch Notes US.FORUMS.BLIZZARD.COM We have released another client patch for PC. This addresses a Fullscreen crash issue that users reported earlier today. Addressed an issue with the PC client crashing when in Fullscreen mode. This mode will be disabled for the beta. Windowed and Windowed (Fullscreen) will be the only options on PC Beta. If you want to use a resolution lower than the desktop resolution: Use the resolution percentage slider in the video options...

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I enjoyed my time in it. Played for several hours last night. My wait time didn’t decrease by much. I was still waiting at least a half an hour. it does feel a bit too easy at times, but maybe when I get later in the actual game that will change. But even at lvl 12 I could kill a group of lvl 25 enemies. Now when bigger enemies showed up I had to leave, but would expect even trash mobs would be near unkillable in a group of 5 or so if they’re more than 10 levels above me.

nublood Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Dl’d last night but my que time was an hour so I bailed. Finally got to play this morning but it was really laggy. I guess the servers are getting crushed this weekend. But I did enjoy what few minutes it ran smoothly though. I can already tell I’m gonna be hooked. This game checks nearly all of my boxes as I’m already a softy for isometric ARPG’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I've played up to level 19 so far and I find it very unfortunate that it feels really good; really, time sucking good. I haven't gotten deep into an ARPG since Diablo 2 ( I played 3 very little) so I don't know what the current state of the art is, but D4 just feels like what I'd expect a modern Diablo to be. The build crafting is obviously there, itemization seems varied and interesting. The quests and the world feel much more interesting and dynamic than the older games. The graphics look pretty good, at least during combat and zoomed all the way out. During the in-game cut scenes the graphics don't hold up that well. After seeing the UE5 demos of infinite detail scaling, I kinda wish this looked better in the close ups, but it's not a big deal. Performance has been pretty good, with whatever hitches I've experienced happening mostly in towns. During actual combat the performance has been fine, though probably worse than I might have hoped. There is obviously a lot of depth to the game that I haven't really gotten into, but mostly I'm just happy that it feels fun to play. I'll probably try to get to 25 and leave it at that. Unfortunately I'll be in Japan when it launches, but I still put in my pre-order. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris- Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 The PS5 beta has a lot of visual issues, including some pretty gnarly pop in. Hopefully that's cleaned up before launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear I've only seen it in cutscenes - the actual gameplay is smooth.

Could be it will just be the beta and fixes, or could be something all console versions will see. kind of weird since those cutscenes also seem to be using low poly models for things like bells and birds too.
