By exotic armor do you mean legendary (purple) armor? If so, you can extract the legendary power (aspect) from the underpowered armor/weapon at the occultist and apply it to higher level armor.

Unfortunately not, only legendary aspects can be extracted and applied to other items. Though starting next season, a similar system of imbuing a particular type of stat to any item is getting introduced.
Sorry, talking about orange armor pieces.
Yes, the orange effect at the bottom (known as a legendary aspect) can be extracted at the Occultist and then applied to any similar item, overriding other orange legendaries or turning a rare into a legendary.
Well there's "only" been 3 season so far but season 3 was okay-ish imo, the mechanic wasn't that great but it wasn't as bad as Season 1.
Season 4 looks very promising if you like the base game, the changes are pretty great overall.
It was by far the best season IMHO. Hopefully since S4 is the same team which did S2 we see a return to form next month.
Huh? That's weird. I play every season but I'm waiting for the next to start up. Why would they deactivate it?
There were two Era clans (ERA and Requiem), and with the room available in the original ERA one, the second has been disbanded a few days ago so that all players can be assimilated into a single group! I can approve requests to join, just send a message in the D4 Clans channel in the Era discord and tag me!
Gosh, the campaign is longer than I'd imagined - although perhaps I'm just getting side-tracked with too many side quests and whatnot.
As a late joiner to the party via Game Pass, I was hoping to get the campaign (plus as much renown progress as possible) done prior to S4... but I'm just nearing the end of act 3 now, I think - at level 49, which isn't exactly optimal, apparently.
I'm not sure at what point I'd be useful to a clan (or the clan), but I'd be interested in joining - only if there's room for a relative noob, that is.

The only downside to doing the side quests throughout the campaign is enemies stop leveling up with you once you reach 50, so as you continue to level beyond that, your XP drops notably with each subsequent level. If you just make a bee line for the campaign quests, you'll be fine. All the side quests will be available in the next difficulty, along with more activities.
And you're of course welcome to the clan! Just hop into the discord (link in the OP), request entry, and I'll confirm your invite!
Itemization changes are coming to the whole game once S4 rolls out. Items will have less affixes, there will be a new system to add particular types of affixes, and the upgrade paths are much longer but periodically greatly boost a single random stat by a large amount. There will also be random "greater affixes" that are stats that are randomly increased right off the bat by a huge margin, which could potentially be boosted even more by the upgrade path.
Wonderful, thank you for the info! Shall be bee-lining the campaign quests!
Have just done the clan joining thing, but will gladly step aside if/when numbers are tight - don't want to see any long-termers missing out as a result. Thanks!
Ah okay thanks!
I came back during Gamepass and assumed a lot more people might have joined but I am also an anomaly I suppose: someone who played and beat it on PC but wanted to continue playing the seasons on Xbox but didn't want to double dip.
Almost every day it was just me and one other person and I was like "man, D4 can't be THAT dead. It's selling millions right now".
The problem is that the clan system in D4 is extremely bare-bones and pointless, it's actually lacking features and is a step back from even D3's clan. There isn't even a way to see the last time each member is online in order to make room for new active members so the clan officers have to just guess who's stlil actively playing.
OP
OP
Yeah, it's weird, it's like they had to take the minimum-viable lean approach to rewriting things despite having a decent existing setup to refer to there. I was expecting to see more improvements there by now.
They had advanced clan features in pre release builds but they didn't make it to retail. I assume some of those features would make it with the expansion launch later this year.
Ok so I installed this off gamepass and I am enjoying it but I had a few questions.
It looks like it doesnt save anywhere inside a dungeon. So if I have to quit playing, I am always restarting the dungeon? Is there no way to resume from where I was?
Is there any sort of open matchmaking? Can I join some random persons game or have them join mine? Or is it friends only.
I am playing on normal and its pretty decent so far. Is there a chance I can fuck up my upgrades so bad that I lock myself out of the the late game?
EDIT To clarify, I am only going to play the campaign. I have no interest in grinding it out for better gear, build or whatever else. Once I am done with the campaign, I am done.

Dungeons are never saved, they're all randomly generated each time, stitching certain static elements together with different configurations of hallways and bends. Very frustrating when you disconnect and have to start a dungeon over.
Your character is always able to be respecced! There's no permanent errors, everything from skills to Paragon points after level 50 can be undone - for a fee.
Story based dungeons and missions have checkpoints but you can't manually save at any point. Random dungeons will fully reset if you don't complete them.
You can ask to join or invite players in towns and open world. Note that the world and quest progress will be based on the party leader.
Normal aka world tier 1 is a beginner difficulty and it's only recommended if you're brand new to this kind of game. I will suggest moving to WT2 for a better combat experience. You can always go back to WT1, and respec your skill points if you need to.
If you're only playing the campaign, I will recommend doing the major side quest chains in each region.
I'll second this, some of the side quest chains were more interesting than parts of the main quest line. The one that explores the journey of the priest from the into cinematic was maybe the highlight of the game for me!
Rhyker has a video up talking about the S4 theme, apparently there really isn't much of one?

The itemization overhaul is the S4 theme, with a little bit of Iron Wolves rep to earn from normal play for some rewards.

The content there adding is as substantial as a season. If this is it, then I really don't mind at all.
I kind of get it though, the helltide rework and the addition of greater rifts are more substantial end game additions than any of the prior seasonal stuff, and there is at least some value in letting the itemization rework stand on its own without a temporary season maguffin adding power on top of it.
Yeah, it might be a good thing to give everyone a few months relearning the game after the rework.
Thinking about it too, if the expansion is coming later than expected, the real season 4 might have been shuffled to a season 5.
I am not 100% sure but I think I used this guide

Cross play w/ Battle.net?
Diablo 4 is crossplay with everything. You have a single battle.net account that is used on whatever platform.
I don't care about them adding a temporary seasonal thing like the mechanical pet. I am glad they decided on doing massive reworks and permanent additions to the core game instead. I feel like this is the most they have ever added in a single season and it sounds like good stuff that is permanent going forward.
Yeah the guide is a pain. I remember it took me several tries to get it working correctly but after I got it working it runs greatI am not 100% sure but I think I used this guide
