Is it possible to hide the weapons on your back? I've tried to hide them at the wardrobe but they're still on my back.

Diablo IV Open Beta starts March 24th - 27th [It's joever]
- Thread starter M. Wallace
- Start date
A few hours in, and I can't help but think that I've played this same game too many times, and I'm not sure I want to do it again. Nice to see how well they hit the swords-and-sorcery vibes. That might keep me going through the main story. But I really can't see myself playing it much longer than that.
Mostly I'm just realizing that at the end of the day, I want to zone out and click treasure like the mobile game. Not sure the full-blown TV+PC and thinking about the game is something I want anymore.

You can get this working on the steamdeck
Download battlenet client installer and add it as a non-Steam game
Then run the installer in Steam as playing a game, and install the game to your directory of choice.
Use Proton GE 7-27 in properties > force compatibility option with the game settings.
If you don't have it, install Proton-up-QT in Steam deck desktop mode under discover applications in the toolbar.
Then run the game and ignore the gpu warning.
Runs alright but at low/medium 800p settings.

Rogue is really fun damn, might have to switch up my first playthrough to this char on release.
I just about managed to kill one, tough to lock down with the sorcerer.
I mean, there is no doubt the game is super imbalanced, at least in the beginning
like for sorceror, there is a spell in each category that is clearly A LOT better than all the others
for basic it's the frost bolt
for core its chain lightning
for summons its hydra
do that and you will breeze through the game, pick another and you will have a super hard time
sure later on through synergies those can change, but it is weird

I just got to 20 too. I want to play more but I want to save it!
Do we get the doggo thing once we hit level 20?
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the soundtrack in this game is fucking incredible.
Melee focused rogue really does scratch the monk itch I had. Maxed out flurry and I'm just melting fools

the entire audio package is chef kiss tbh. i have never felt more immersed and engrossed in a digitial world using Dolby Atmos by Dolby Laboratories
For sure. Frost was absolutely terrible (even at 25 with gear dedicated to it), and Lightning was simply sometimes great, sometimes mediocre. The Hydra/Fireball build is just over the top, especially after you get your class ability and any unique that has the extra Hydra effect.
You mentioned chain lightning as your core, but once you unlock your unique class mechanic and put Fireball in the slot, you basically have Explosive Blast from Diablo 3 on kill. There's a huge chain reaction and it just wipes out groups. The slotted skill also takes into account all of the points you have invested in the skill you're using and any other bonuses it might have. It's amazing for trash clearing, and then on bosses you can just swap it for Hydra and have three out briefly.
Like you said though, later things could change, and I expect them to. We're stuck at level 25 with no paragon, and some classes/builds might pull ahead, or way ahead at the higher levels. For the Sorcerer at least, it's a great leveling build.
Maybe. It's hard to day sinve there are so many huge games dropping this year. It certainly has the potential.
nah Rogue isnt for me, im too shallow and I need my combat to be flashy, all this arrow bullshit isnt it, and a quick glance at the skill tree there aren't even any turrets this time around so I think im calling it on the beta for this weekend and save my repeat energy for next weekend with the two pet classes which is what I really want anyway (although I ended up really liking sorc, not surprisingly since it's nothing but flashy lol)
Barb gets an arsenal system, where they have 3 different weapon sets (blunt, slashing, dual wield), and each ability can be assigned to switch to and benefit a specific one of them (like nodes in the tree that modify a skill to do X if used with a 2h weapon), and from what I've seen, gain buffs for switching weapons a lot.
I actually leveled with fire bolt and fireball and at 25 am running the hydra/fireball build, which is great, but the beginning was tough
made another sorc and startet with frostbolt and chain lightning and it's so super easy in the beginning
Never played much of the previous games, the wife which rarely ever plays games actually beat Diablo 3, which shocked the shit out of me, so when I told her that 4 was coming she said "pre-order that now". I have put in about 5 hours into the Beta and I am loving the game. Made 2 different characters to try out, a Rogue and a Magic user (cant remember the actual name). Played both to level 5 or 6 each. Can easily see that the Magic user was a lot more OP than the Rogue and had a much easier time playing on Veteran than I did with the Rogue.
But regardless, I am really loving the game. The audio, both effects and music is superb. Playing on Series X with Dolby Atmos and it really sounds incredible.

I mean, it's not going to win GOTY or anything. But even in the beta, you can tell that the game is absolutely massive and loaded with content.
It will definitely be one of the biggest launches of the year.
Crazy ton of polarizing comments for this game.
I think consensus is that it is better than D3, but looks like the D1-2 crowd are still unhappy (outside the atmosphere), while some others think they went too far with the "Lost Ark" MMO feel.
Can't wait to see launch and endgame opinions.

the one that makes enemies explode when they die feels broken at times
Open character screen and goto the stats/materials tab. It's in the stats tab towards the middle/bottom

Didn't someone earlier mention what we're playing now will basically be the endgame? Found the post they mentioned the following:
- World events that are basically small activities, its the same 4-5 over and over.
- Dungeons which have similar layouts and 4-5 activities (get X item open boss, kill X enemies, etc.)
- World Boss
- Helltide which is basically kill enemies to get a currency and unlock chests
I'm not feeling the soundtrack. None of the tracks are memorable, and they just sound like someone ripped some generic files from a website that provides stock tracks by googling things like "moody strings, tribal drumbs, spooky mood, etc.". A lot of it even sounds like music out of Elden Ring's dungeons / zones. Also the audio seems pretty buggy too, it randomly stutters out and has a lot of delay or plays in parts it shouldn't.
Does it fit the mood and tone of the game? Sure, but I would never listen to any of it on its own. I like the game a lot, I just hope that the endgame is engaging and it gets meaty post-game support. My only major gripe is the UI is soulless and bland. It has no character and I can definitely see the complains about it seeming like a mobile game. Really hate this trend in games, God of War's UI was also pretty awful in a similar way.

Hit 17 today and I just love this game.
I am so excited to play the full game. I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface and I played like 10 hours today. Still haven't even reached the place where the world boss shows up. And the map for Act I is massive!
So glad I took off two weeks for this in June.

What is the vulnerable shit the first boss is doing to me? Where the health gauge gets all cracked looking and shit.

Yeah it doesn't save. Found that out last night during disconnectmania
Maybe not? I assumed so since there seemed to be paths at the edges into other areas.
If it's anything like Demon Hunter in D3, there will be no shortage of builds that use no bows or arrows.
Do I need to change sound settings? It's on default. Have a razer kaira pro with dolby atmos sub.
just watched streamer get so lucky with butcher spawn. full party, spawns right ontop of dps shrine. they still barely managed to kill him. someone in his group got a unique, the butchers cleaver?????
I didn't use Firebolt at all. It makes since once you start finding +fire %damage later on, but early on Frost Bolt is just better since it's easier to get back mana with it. I might try leveling with CL and see how it goes. At least up until level 15 anyway.
Vulnerable means you (same vs enemies) take 20% more damage. Turn on enhanced tooltips.
Are you talking about the world boss? If so, how do you "farm" that?
Beat the World Boss Ashava today... it was a realy close one!

I enjoyed the Dungeons in closed beta, but if you think these are long, wait until you're doing a Nightmare Dungeon with an affix that hide all enemies unless you're in combat.
