I can see quite a few trees if I zoom in on the image, they’re just young saplings at the moment as it’s all new and just been landscaped.
Then you end up with a whole map where you can only go one or two places to be challenged. Huge areas that are completely pointless and offer no reward, instead just having to go and do the same area over and over again. How boring.
The feeling of getting stronger comes from the gear you find and working out ways that you can get the powers they have to synergise with each other.
I’d much rather have it this way. As an example, I played starfield a while ago and even though it has dozens and dozens of star systems you are stuck with just 3 or 4 that offer even the slightest challenge at the later levels.
Edit: That’s not to say that levelled areas don’t work in other games of course. I love to play Valheim and that has levelled biomes but it’s a completely different game. It’s a journey with a start and end (end still not done though). It’s meant to be beaten, finished. Diablo isn’t like that, it’s a perpetual game. Elden ring is another example but again is a game that’s meant to be beaten.
Why would it be a problem? It’d be laughably easy if the mobs stayed the same as they were when you start the game at lvl 1.
How’s it going? What build are you playing? Are you struggling or slaying?
I’m having a lot of fun. The infernal hordes are manic when they really get going, had me whooping out loud a few times! The ‘slaying hellborne invigorates you’ is my fave boon, attack speed goes crazy with that one. I’m gonna miss them when the season ends. They make it so easy to get gear, gold and master working mats this season. The only thing I’m struggling with this season is boss mats, I never have any exquisite blood, distilled fear etc. Soon as I have enough I go do a tormented boss to try and get a mythic unique.
I started as chain lightning sorcerer then switched to the lightning spear build. It just deletes everything. I killed Lilith for the first time ever this season and every single tormented boss. I got mythic uniques that actually work for my build for once too.
Now levelling a barrage rogue with the intent to switch to andariels build if I get an andariels visage.

So that’s where Radiohead got the idea!
Me too, that’s a good one.
Damn, all three of those opinions hurt me. Why you gotta be this way?
My takes; I didn’t enjoy Hyperion or Red Mars.
Seems it might actually be good. I haven’t watched this video but I did watch some of raxxanterax streaming yesterday and he seemed very pleased.
I should point out that I’ve never actually played this game. I played quite a lot of Diablo 3 and I thought I’d wait a while before trying Diablo 4 as I was sure it would have problems at launch and wasn’t willing to spend £70-100 on a game that had the potential to be a complete mess.
Well, seems like they may have actually sorted things out now and seeing as it has just come to gamepass I’ll be giving it a play when season 4 starts.
I am kind of left wondering what the point of Diablo 4 is though. ‘The pit’ is the new end-game content and it seems to be an almost direct copy of greater rifts from Diablo 3, even down to the obelisk asset and animation.
Like I said though, I haven’t played the game yet, so what do I know??!!!
I can also recommend AirVPN. I’ve been using it for several years now. I have it on my iMac and iPhone and make use of both the port forwarding and dns. They have their own client (Eddie) but you can use 3rd party clients too. I used the openVPN client for a while and am currently using wireguard.
I know it’s a flawed game but, I’m also having a lot of fun playing it. I’m currently level 141 on ng+12. I’m also looking forward to dlc… well, actually that depends on if it’s included in game pass, if it isn’t then I probably won’t bother with it.
I still cling to hope that they’ll release a new album someday.
Edit: I just noticed my username and avatar. I guess you could say I’m a fan.
Yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing. It’s definitely far from ideal.
Yeah but I pick my mum up now!!
I think that’s the plan. Rumour is that Microsoft want out of the console hardware business. They want to just be a game producer and subscription platform. They want gamepass on PlayStation and Nintendo and, well everywhere and then they can stop making consoles.
Who knows if that’s even possible though. It seems like hell would freeze over before Sony and Nintendo let gamepass on their platforms but, stranger things have happened.
Fortunately, I have zero recollection of that programme.
…dooby dooby quack quack”
…and just the fact that it existed.
It was literally just puppets dancing to pop music.
I don’t know how to stop dwelling on this.
I wouldn’t worry about it too much, these stories appear every year and nothing ever changes.

Does anyone here use a purely magic build? I’m experimenting with it at the moment but would like to hear what others are doing.
What foods do you eat? I’m currently using 2X Eitr and one stamina but it leaves me with very little health.
Do you wear the full mage gear or mix and match with some heavier armour? I’m using the full mage set at the moment.
I do fine against regular seekers but fights with soldiers take longer than if I just bashed it with a melee weapon. I took down a gjall but it was pretty sketchy and took a while too. Hits from its fireballs popped my protection bubble almost immediately so I spent a lot of time dodging and recasting the bubble.
I don’t have the frost staff yet so I’m guessing that will make things a bit easier by slowing enemies.
It’s nice to see valheim on Lemmy but it’s kinda quiet here at the moment so I thought I’d ask what you’re next planning to do in valheim?
I’m currently just kind of idling whilst waiting for the latest update to leave beta. I don’t really want to explore any more of my map until it’s released. In the meantime I think I’m going to try and defeat yagluth (no spoilers please!) so I’ve been preparing for that, raising an earth wall around the area, brewing meads, making a safe area to rest if I need it etc.
