Been playing since Thursday night and still in Act 3. I really want to unlock that horse, but I still havent been able to yet. :confused_old: Edit: Finally got it at end of Act 3/ start of Act 4, but man they make you go through 3 huge areas on foot before the mount becomes available. I...

It wasn't that bad, though it was looking grim at the start. Starting right at 7, had to wait 15 to 20 minutes just to log into battle.net (it was actually 15, then I got autologged off due to time out, but it wasn't long after I logged back in second time that I got in), then from there it was...

Ending up going with the Asrock 670e in the end. I do have an MSI B550 in my current computer and its been fine.

You are correct, but I think there is more to it than that. Diablo 3 PC had no controller support for PC (and still doesn't), but when they ported it to console they added in a dodge/evade mechanic exclusive to console version of D3. For Diablo 4, they finally included controller support on...

I struggled using mouse and keyboard when I first tried Diablo 4 beta, and went to controller and never looked back. It's so much easier and more fluid. I think its more me getting older than anything else, as there are few other game that I find much more enjoyable on controller now.

That seems like the right amount to me. I had about 25-30 legenderies in my stash after both betas. Probably more than half came from gambling at the purveyor. (It felt like a legendary would drop every 3 or 4 tries at it). So having 8-10 legenderies plus the aspects you get from...

They are bad, in a way worse than the early access beta. Queue times have been around 30 minutes for me, followed by about 30 minutes to an hour of gameplay, followed by a disconnect from the server, and then you have to get back in the queue again. Have done this twice now. Early access beta...

Played around some today. Right after 12:30 EST for about an hour and a second time (after a 102 minute wait in a queue) from 7:30 to 10:30 until I got disconnected. You can get in, but it takes some patience. Never really played Diablo 3 other than the demo version which I played recently...

The Fractal North is in white (I opted for the window vs mesh) and I came across the Asrock X670E Steel Legend which also has a lot of white color on the mobo. Its pricier than I was originally thinking (was figuring on spending 250ish). I am not 100% on the mobo just yet, it was one of the...

Just to follow up, ended up getting a 7700x with free RAM bundle from microcenter, plus a 6800 xt as well. Total cost will probably come in around 1600 dollars after I purchase the fans and case and mobo. Going with a fractal North just because I like the look of it.

I do have a microcenter about 1 hour away. Currently they have a deal for a 7900x, asus mb and ddr5 for 599, but there are so many other deals I get overwhelmed with choices.

Thanks OP! That gameplay actually looks pretty good. I loved my Diablo 2 javazon, but never played Diablo 3. Seeing that Druid throw lightning everywhere makes me want to play 4.

Thanks, I didn't even know that x3d was a thing.

I do have a 1 TB nvme Samsung 980 which I forgot to mention, but it was an impulse buy. There are probably better NVME drives out there. For graphics card, I am not sure when the 4060 series gets released? And now intel has a graphics card out, but I don't know much about them.

Did this back in 2020 and anandtech advice was pretty good (computer is going fine) so I am trying again. This time the PC will be for my son with a 1000-1500 budget. It will be used for gaming, school work, and entertainment. 1080 and 1440 gaming/resolution. Buying in the USA. Prefer...
