I want to just write lol, but that doesn’t capture my actual laughter. I am glad to be here and hope these communities continue to grow and become a stable place that is unimpeded by corporate interests, data harvesting, and invasive monetization. But seriously, here’s a rat.

My brother is playing a druid and he absolutely smashes wt4. It was a rough start, but once his build came together he was shredding nightmare dungeons. I think you’d be fine playing a druid

You can’t know everything, but someone knows what you don’t. Build a community and talk with people - ask questions and form relationships with other gardeners because the passion you feel is shared among many others.

Sounds frustrating. Thanks for doing what you do and letting us join your server! Hope the captcha works out.

No emotes on this one! You’ll see - it starts with a man being yelled at by a statue

I just played a quest in Kehjistan that involved talking to a statue. The statue made reference to “the vibrancy of the world” and that you could “see magic in the air”, which struck me as a clear reference to D3. The developers clearly have a sense of humor and I found the dialog both engaging and humorous. I have notes for the devs, but damn did they make a great game!

I have been playing since the original release of Diablo around 1997 and, like you, enjoyed D2 thoroughly. D3 was a rough start, but the introduction of seasons and rifts was pretty great. I liked the feeling of overwhelming power that D3 offered. D4 is a lot slower, a kind of calling back to the original and D2. I am enjoying the game overall, but there are some things that I would change given the opportunity. I find gearing to be less intuitive - hard stats may have been a better way to do it rather than percentages, but I’m no game developer. Although even at level 67 I am missing the feeling of power, in time I am sure it will come. At least one can cope. The sorcerer in D4 doesn’t feel as good as it had in the past. To be fair I am running with 4 defensive spells which doesn’t leave room for much else. I am struggling in WT4, but the drops in WT3 have been less than helpful in making my character stronger. The stats I need simply aren’t dropping.

Overall though? D4 is excellent. Balancing and changes will occur that brings the game together and I have no doubt I will be playing this game for another decade.

That is a neat looking horse. I have gotten 3 different sets of tack. A merchant tack, lamplighter, and something else, but I cannot recall it off the top of my head. The lamp lighter is pretty cool though.

Spot on. The “elites” and their puppets will not face consequences because they designed the system to benefit themselves. He will continue to be a corrupt parasite and make rulings that will take rights away from people not of the moneyed class.

We live in a plutocracy - the richest people in colonial US were the ones who wrote our governing documents and since then the government has been run by and for the wealthy. Clarence Thomas, although not born of the capitalist class, represents the power wealth wields in our republic. A person who makes rulings on the constitutionality of our laws should be beyond corruption, but here is a lifting of the veil on the reality we must face as citizens - we are almost powerless to stop this. He will not willingly step down, nor will congress obtain the necessary votes to impeach. I believe we will not have real change until the working people unite under a common banner and put a stop to the obvious and massive power imbalances in our republic.
