I Played Diablo 4 Beta.. My HONEST Thoughts 

Streamers are supposed to be good at holding a conversation over hours. Not everyone can do it. Zack is just a natural entertainer. It's not a job for him.

​@ysonline might take some time to get to this level. Might be a few takes for less experienced streamers (or even him). We only see the finished product.

it also looks like he showered, PROGRESS

he speaks like this everyday on stream tbh, he's just built different :P i know i can't

That's how you can tell he's a twitch streamer. If he was a JPvidr there'd be a jump cut after every other word.

ممتاز

👍

nice

Good

💯💯💯

ok

That quest is huge Hellraiser reference, and it's awesome!

U cant play this u first need to play d2 then others I really get annoyed blizzard put zero effort in game

@MoonsunEu Touch grass. It's perfectly okay to start with 4.

@Blind Pumpkin imo, the guy is right. There is plenty of time to finish other diablo games, at least 2 and 3, they are true Blizz-like games, like Starcraft and Warcraft. Too good to be ignored. Becides, they are kinda short!

7Yes , truly great! @AsmongoldTV I too am similar in age range and have used this franchise as well as many other great games to bond with my Father, and nothing has yet beat Diablo 2 LOD during its first few online years.

true brother

What would lord bald be without his drama bait videos though?

and no pretending to never have seen a red grape as opposed to a green grape.

this outside videos are Zack talking and not the Asmongold persona. I like them better too.

He's the content god of our generation

He is such a Mesajah bruh the GOAT

*while freely talking about compuzter games. Him just busting out so much real talk shows how much he mirrors the average mmo players mentality/thoughts

@marcohundINV "You know it, I know it, everyone knows it."

What tree house?

That was me too. Started out using twisted blades, then all of a sudden its the weapon throw skill, and rapid fire.

i ended up having the exact opposite experience, the bow combat felt very slow and unrewarding for me, throwing knives did solid damage but degenerated my playstyle to spam clicking. Played necro as well and even tho i had less apm, i felt like i was doing significantly more and rewarded for doing less

Asmongold is just a character he plays this is how he really is.

ok

sorry mate, tree time happy friends is Zackrawr

He did literally spoil the twist with the villagers at the start of the game tho lol

i also love the villagers' cameo. and the eater egg plane. xd

@Bravadorado lmfao yeah. i was like wtf you mean

I'm glad you enjoy asmon hitting your right spots

IKR lol, halfway into the video I stopped listening to the guy and focused on the background Also love that it's either this or a dark room crammed with garbage.

It freaked me out for a second 😂 thought the birds outside my place were up a little too late and thinking it was loud for the night

im actually happy to see him this happy

All i hear is police sirens

You should try going outside yourself.

@DeusVult damn bro he isn’t your dad. He’s not the one that SA’d you no need to be mean to him for his positive comment.

@DeusVult maybe he likes the outdoor setting videos because he prefers to spend his time outside? You ever stop to think outside your tiny bubble?

He's not lying though, if watching an asmongold -video brightens your day you're missing out in life .. Don't take this as an insult..

@Nimbus LMFAO 💀💀💀

How about starting on not d4

​@ShaboPaasa how about stop being goofy

So you're bricked up?

Well spoken? He said very little of substance for 20 minutes. Complete waste of time.

@NB I suggest you don't go to this channel anymore

when you get out in the park , take a moment to take in the nature sounds and clear your mind then you can actually properly speak :)

@Armant Warokka Yeah unfortunately his videos always pop up in the search when you look for gaming videos. When in fact he's one of the worst gamers in terms of skill in the business. Watching him play Wo Long or Sekiro was cringe worthy.

I was disappointed when they didn't take the pvp and clan based aspects of Diablo to a higher ceiling. Especially after the success of WoW, and the initial robust community of clans and pvp centric player based rooms that were a part of Diablo 2. There was so much more they could have done to improve those features in D3 and hopefully it will find a landing zone in D4. Until then I've just become a former hardcore fan of D2 turned hardcore skeptic that D3 and beyond is nothing more than a shortsighted cash grab of the Diablo name.

That's because this is Zack. He's not sitting in front of a camera to overreacting to things to entertain people

I never understood what is there to love about watching other men unless your a twinkle ✨

Gaming videos? You mean react content

didn't you know the one you see here in the wild is asmon, the one you see on streams is zackrawr, his twin ;)

@Josh Rodecker Yeah, tamer eyebrows too

acting like he's a God but he's literally just talking. relax sheep

@Smoke stop watching then sheep

@OMIM Reacts never did kid

@Smoke oh. your opinion is invalid then

@OMIMreacts me stating that there are words coming out of his mouth is not an opinion. keep talking child, it's amusing now!

Open Beta has been great, ripe with errors and disconnects so far. XD Sad only one open beta and people can't even play it.

I really like last epoch man, i do hope they will not get stuck forever in this alpha/beta state. They need to release the game soon :)

last epoch= better poe d4= better lost ark (or the other way)

@cccbbbaaa110 last epoch has nothing to do with POE. 2 things are important for arpgs, concept of pacing (how much mobs put a fight). Its the main issue for most arpg player, oter than itemization. POE its zoomy, just like torchlight. Last epoch its middle of the road in zoom. DIablo2 its slow pace, like grim dawn. Thats how arpg are kinda divided by pacing. D4 its like a ARPG lost ark... with slow pace. Becouse lost ark its a mmo with isometric can. Diablo its a ARPG with masssive mmo elements. It will be good? i dont know... the itemization so far its fine, the pacing its fine, but that SKILL twig... its terrible.

But Last Epoch has terribly boring combat. D4 combat feels amazing!

People look up builds even for D3, a game that has zero complexity and zero punishment for mistakes. It's a disease of the times. Games should never even consider these people, they just need to make their games with internal consistency and add enough information to guide the player. WoW lost that battle with addons and their raids are now cancer because the old stuff became so trivial due to addons.

This comment kinda doesn't make sense, in the beta once you hit level 25 the gear you got was item power capped at a number that scaled to around level 25 so once you hit this point in time there was literally 0 reason to replace gear besides needing to imprint a certain legendary aspect or getting better sub stats on another piece of level 25 gear. Due to this, I don't see how it's a problem that you need to replace weaker gear that doesn't have an item power or DPS as good as a level 25 piece. Furthermore, the problem that you have of feeling there are no "peaks and valleys" is exactly the problem a lot of people are complaining against as many players did feel undergeared and struggled, and they found that needing a certain legendary aspect or build to enjoy their character a problem which also didn't make sense as it was simply just a beta and many builds needed more upgrades that well you just couldn't reach as we were level capped, its also important to note that gear besides legendary aspects is not gameplay defining that role would mostly fall upon skills/build in general. If you still have an issue with replacing gear before hitting the max level then to each your own but hopefully you better understand what you experienced throughout your gameplay as from lots of complaints I see from other players is simply just from them not understanding or knowing what they are talking about to the right extent.

@ッOriju The point is everything scales so tightly within every level that the trip up to whatever cap is feels relatively uneventful with gear contributing nothing but a formality. When full level cap X is here, X-10 is going to be just as uneventful and overpolished as 15 is in beta. Everything I said is looking at the leveling experience which really suffered going from 2 to 3, and it looks like 4 is going the same way. Feeling like you need a legendary is an endgame/cap problem, and experiencing the lack of meaning to gear before cap killed my interest in grinding out some optimal setup. Oh and before I forget: "hopefully you better understand what you experienced throughout your gameplay". I've never had someone unironically suggest I didn't understand my own experiences. That's some impressive levels of arrogance

​@Richard Stamm The idea that with every new piece of gear is just an upgrade to quickly replace from your current set of gear like I said simply isn't the case, if you get a piece of gear that happens to have more armor but worst sub stats than your current gear then it's entirely optional to replace it, and well a smart player wouldn't replace their good sub stat gear just for an extra 25+ armor as it just doesn't have enough value or weight to the piece that warrants an instant replacement of said armor. The only time I can see something like this making a difference is if the armor as a base stat is largely higher than what you currently are using, which would indicate you have entered a new threshold in leveling and gameplay which gives you such gear that highly out weighs what you currently have on despite possibly having bad sub stats. Gear is by no means just a formality in the later stages of diablo 4 it's just the case that it doesn't make a major difference at the early stage of the game (level 1-25) as you are only just beginning. The main focus up to level 25 would be things like skills, as that's when you're just finally starting to have a real form to your build. After level 25 is a point in which yes, gear starts to become an impacting factor as the sub stats on singular pieces of gear is additive but when you have a collection of gear with good sub stats on it will then feel multiplicative as it gives major increases of damage to your entire character in itself alongside things like legendary aspects helping out your build/skills in major ways. An example of this situation would be like feeling the difference between 50% critical strike chance and 70%, which is a very heavy damage increase that would be gained by having good critical strike chance on most of your gear. You will also start to notice the want of good gear/legendary aspects as you increase world tier levels, and the difficulty of the game itself increases as enemies gain all forms of resistance by whatever % the world tier will make it, not to mention the introduction of nightmare dungeons and nightmare sigils that you can further use to increase difficulty in the game which then again the demand for better gear sub stats or aspects will increase. My confidence in this topic or arrogance as you would call it very easily stems from people like you with replies like these that further supports the idea that you don't quite understand what you're talking about.

@ッOriju "Gear is by no means just a formality in the later stages of diablo 4 it's just the case that it doesn't make a major difference at the early stage of the game (level 1-25) as you are only just beginning" And everything you wrote past that about playing at 25 has no bearing on anything I'm saying. My point has always been about the absurd level of gear churn which you keep passively confirming while handwaving it away and telling me I don't understand. So I'll restate it again in some of your own words. The gear along the way is constant little upgrades which don't have a large impact in how strong or weak you feel, unless you stop churning your gear between every large pack. Leveling doesn't need to feel this way, or constantly break up flow, item level scaling while leveling just needs to back off and allow for more high and low points. When it reliably bumps by some small 1-3% upgrade 10-20 times per level, it just becomes background noise paying tribute to games where you find gear for a specific build. But by all means, go on about how I just don't understand how important specific legendries and stats are when optimizing your level 25, it really does fluff out your meandering walls of text.

@Richard Stamm if you have watched the live stream from diablo today it will further prove my point in clearing up the issue that you have with the game that didn't exist to begin with. As they actively spoke about how a level 50 item can definitely still be very important to a level 70 character.

Oh wow you were a Sorc fan? No way! Not like 99.9% of the playerbase play Sorc or anything... The game shouldn't even have classes at this point when everyone just picks whatever the strongest meta build is.

I 25'd Sorc and then started Barb...Barb felt well more powerful. I got to 18 with Barb and it was well easier. They were both so fun Edit: Hydra/Blizz/Fireball soso & Hammer/WW/ Leap Barb

D2 I was generally Soso and Dudu, some Necro or Pala D3 mainly DH and WD, tho almost entirely DH as all else felt less powerful

@Ro7ardEveryone must start as Sorc 😂

I've never played Sorcerer up till D4 and it's def my favorite. I'll see how other two classes go for me the next weekend but i'm pretty sure i'm landing on the sorcerer

Wdym? Isn't he the zombie tho? ;)

@Spicy Punk Rocker Sounds like you might be needing a sick bag soon. lol

@Lumpossum Now you mention it 😆

Buddy looks like Alvin and the chipmunks

yes it is weird.

Quests would be horrible for that. Never saw that in an arpg and I think there is a reason why no one does that.

Shutup

@Samuel Brunet he's telling facts? why are you being so negative???

​@Samuel Brunet he was informative

Sounds alot like diablo immortal

@SafetyPinLoL there is telling facts and trying to correct people to feel better about yourselve and it was clearly that.

Hard to follow the story unless you read.

@Chay Warburton I would take that for any other genre except ARPG where math and reading comprehension are key aspects of the moment to moment gameplay.

@Daimon you’re too defensive, he didn’t mean new to the series just that they’ve announced plans to add things to the game later down the road to switch things up. Runes, uniques, new legendaries etc, y’all D2 Johnson Riders need to calm down.

​@FadedSelf diablo 2 made blizzard. You casual andies can go back to minecraft & leave the demon slaying to the real gamers

@FrequentSee based. Blizzard hasn't made a single good diablo game after firing blizzard north. They could easily take lessons from diablo 2 but it eats at them because they know that they didn't create that masterpiece and to take ideas from it would destroy their ego.

@Daimon It will be a new system in Diablo 4, clearly. This is not Diablo 2 and we are not talking about Diablo 2. Please.

@dimkacracker Holy shit preach . They've almost said this verbatim in interviews as well. David Brevik was Diablo. But every new game dev has to just put their own spin on it. The ego. Who let this happen? Unbelievable

rogue, mage and last place is barbar in my opinion from the gameplay.

Melee rogue. Life on kill and faceroll.

Diablo is dead BLIZZARD Is Dead

Nightmare dungeons will 1 shot on bosses guaranteed lol

@Kaissaz Saw wudi steam roll the cave blood boss in seconds though. it was all the barb and no skill. seconds.

I think you mean the Ancestral Echoes for the ancient that comes flying in when you cast ww, upheaval or leap, right? Did it trigger pretty frequently for ww? I only tried it with upheaval and leap. Satisfying, but I wish I could trigger it more.

bear :3

@Nanot Hehe. 🐻❤️ Can't wait to try druid.

@Morgan Dominy Me too! Will make him the chonkiest he can be!

I hate scaling mobs

Which isn't too bad as you level. I'd assume true level cap is when you can start to really over power specific difficulties etc and push barriers/overcome the game.

Scaling up make the level up process feel very unrewarding

You guys are talking about upgrading low level gear.

Yeah the scaling might be a deal breaker for me
