Once I reached maximum level with my rogue character, I spent time just respeccing my character over and over to see what builds I could make. Each has interesting twists while staying true to their respective archetypes.
I played multiple different classes in the beta to get a feel for the various skill trees. To be clear, Diablo 4 is absolutely a better game than Immortal. That social experience that was first shown in Immortal was absolutely there. The beta includes a world boss people can try to take down together. The main city was bustling with other players. When I played Immortal, I asked myself, what if Blizzard took this new approach and applied it to a mainline Diablo release? How exciting would that be? And then outside certain dungeons, players waited for others to come over, join in, and grind them together. These were some of the best experiences I had with Immortal, with dozens and dozens of players crowding a certain area just to hunt out one giant boss. Organically, players came together to complete a goal. At certain times, particular world bosses spawned, meaning whoever was in the area often sprinted over to help defeat a gigantic beast. Then outside of the hub city, you still saw players running around, perhaps completing the same quests you were. It was more reminiscent of World of Warcraft than Diablo. You didn’t have to interact with these players, but they were there, and you could chat or party up if needed. In the central hub city, other players milled about, visited the bounty board, queued for portals to transport to hard end game bosses, or just hung out. When I first played Diablo Immortal when it launched in June 2022, I was taken aback by the very clear strategy of making the game a social-first experience. It was generally a very isolating experience.ĭiablo Immortal did away with that. The other option was to play them in a very small group of up to four players. With Diablo 4’s predecessor, Diablo 3 from 2012, I was used to running procedurally generated dungeons again, and again, and again, by myself.
