I'm not sure how to start.. maybe jump in and go straight with the story part first.. or maybe I should start with the season stuff and breeze trough story in a few days.. decisions, decisions..
Anyway as mentioned before.. all I've got to do now is stay up past midnight 1am CET to start download for the night.. so I can still sleep on it :messenger_grinning_sweat:

That depends on how much you care about story stuff.

Hello Wanderers -

We have some late breaking news for our launch for Vessel of Hatred.
We are looking at a small delay for launch due to a small technical issue on our end. We are still expecting Vessel of Hatred to launch this evening, but we will need some additional time to ensure we have every player start at the exact same time across all platforms.

At 4pm PDT, we will begin locking out new logins for Diablo IV. Players already logged in prior to 4pm PDT will still be in-game on Patch 1.5.2, but they should expect to lose connection to the game over time while we do additional work to get the simultaneous launch prepared.

We apologize for the late breaking news on the time shift, but this is an important step we need to make to ensure every player can start their journey through Nahantu together.

We will be providing updates in this thread as they become available.

So is this just the PC release? Cause it was posted in the "PC General Discussion" section, lol. Seems like it's prob across all paltforms, tho.

Edit: Guess it's prob just pinned to the top of every section. Well boys, we wait together.

Edit 2: Nope..there's no equivalent post in the console section:

For now, I think I will start the whole old campaign over with the Spiritborn and then into the DLC before starting to grind Helltides, etc. I may change my mind last second though.

Steam players can download the 2.0.2 patch right now. Separately, players should be seeing a login/license error when logging in. This is to be expected. We will have an update shortly on some timing soon.

When I finish SH2 I’m on this but still debating PC or PS5 because I own it on both…

I wish companies would stop being greedy and just let me own something on all platforms once I buy a copy. Or pay an extra $10er to allow access on two platforms instead of buying it all over again.

You figure now that MS owns them they'd do that, especially in a game that has micros, but I guess not. I remember buying RE7 on PC and owning it on Xbox as well among other games.

Turned on Xbox, had to update. Created a character then they kicked me off for emergency maintenance. Now they just made me do a new update. 94.65 GB.

Good times 😞

I guess I was wrong. I got all pre-order stuff on my account and play on PC and PS5.
How does that work? How are they going to lock it? :pie_thinking:

Pretty easy. It checks what you own and will say “you cannot play on this character without buying the expansion on this system too, please pick a different character you cock sucker.”

I don't think so, I don't see D4 in my "library" (as in owned) in the xbox app, I do see it in battlenet but that's because of game pass I reckon because I don't see vessel of hatred on battlenet.

what if I log off a Sorceress in the new area and log in to the PC without expansion? (I know, but still.. this is ridiculous)

Pretty common for games to just say you need to buy the expansion if you want to do expansion areas and content.

It can either lock that character out of access entirely from the non expansion owning system when you log on, or kick your character back to a base game town and force you to only do base game content.

It’s really you gotta own the expansion on all platforms if you plan to jam on.

I will buy the second platform on sale later next year; but for now I need to stick with one. Likely PC so I can enjoy it on steam deck too.

Microtransactions, cosmetics, and battle pass stuff is cross-platform.
Full DLCs are platform locked and only available on the platform you buy it for.

Pre-purchased, but I can't actually jump in until tomorrow. Was prepared for some FOMO while sitting at work... sad to see that's not happening :(

Once actually in the customization, some of these male selections aren't bad, but the male my defaulted to looks nearly the same as the girl. I thought this was for sure going to be a "never create a male variant of this class" type thing.

Ok, I'm really liking the Spiritborn. Flashy and satisfying attacks. No real legendaries that buff my attacks yet. Only level 15 but so far so good. Also, one of the male faces looks similar to me which is cool.

Opening recap and intro cutscenes are based as fuck. Blizzard at their peak.

Edit: Also, about Neyrelle (despite her demonic affliction):

You do need to complete the first D4 story before you can get access to the new story content from the expansion.

1. Can't believe but also not surprised they bungled the launch.
2. Because of timing when it finally went live, I am very tired today. :messenger_grinning_smiling:
3. So far though, I really like the new class. By the time I closed my eyes I was probably in the 12 or 13 level range. Spent a while just looking at new skills and then played a couple realmboss events (might be misnaming this).
4. Looking forward to exploring the new area. Hoping to get some hours in tonight if schedule allows.
5. Skins in store still overpriced. Wish they would bring these way down. I bet they'd sell a ton more too.
