Sorry to take a side step from Diablo but do any of you have recommendations on a good mechanical keyboard? I'll need a number pad for work (although I don't think I mind if it's detached). Not necessarily looking for something I need to spend a ton of time modding, but would at least like something hot swappable. Thanks!

Look up switch and click as well as hipyo tech on YouTube. Also check out this write up https://switchandclick.com/how-to-build-a-keyboard/ don’t need to build one but it’s good to understand the different options.

Quick initial thoughts:

- I SUPER don't like coming upon a boss fight and be told that I can't join.
- If we're gonna have an open world version I need to at least be able to have a quest screen with objectives and info. I'm completely lost as of now
- I hate how they went back to the Diablo 2 style inventory. It's absolute trash
- The game is way too easy on World Tier 2 and I wish I could change it now instead of having to complete the campaign
- I don't want to see randos popping into my game. I assume there's a way to turn it off and I have to figure it out.

I’m on PC but I was able to open the map and find quests/objectives on pop-out menu on the right side.

Yea, now that I've watched a couple videos I've found the solutions to some of my issues, which were basically just quality of life stuff.

I have the afternoon off and since it's like 90 degrees out, I'm turning the AC on, having a couple beverages, and playing the hell out of DIV.

I got my necromancer to level 16 last night and felt like I was doing good damage and never came close to dying. I am playing on world tier 1 though.

I'm finding WT2 quite challenging. Not to the point of frustration, but dungeons have been tough and I've died a few time in them.

I played a little this morning before work. I think I'm level 18. I need to figure out how to unlock enchants, and I want to come to a decision tonight on if I'm going to try to explore and do everything or if I'm going to focus on the MQ and get through the campaign. I kinda want to do a blend, but I'm conflicted with just how much I could be missing. I've only found 3 altars; it feels like big opportunity lost.

[ReasonablySober]

This might change at some point but I've been exploring everything and completing every side quest I come upon. When my mission log clears soon I'm gonna start hunting aspects. Then I'll go back to the main story.

[MikeIsGood]

Well apparently I've had enchant for several hours and didn't even know it. I don't know if I missed a tooltip - I assume I did - but it's buried in its own screen and not linked to from the character screen or skill tree. Bad UX.

But I have it now and I love all the possibilities. Really interesting build ideas right off the bat.

The monthly Playstation plus games drop when for the new month? June were suppose to get NBA2K23. I wanted to play that today but still not on PS5. Still shows it for $69.99 in the store. June 3, at 10AM or so central time?

Custom boards is a rabbit hole you could go down and come out of after easily spending hundreds, maybe even a full thousand, to make your perfect endgame board. I’m still on my entry-level first full custom, so I can make an affordable recommendation. I did a Keychron barebones (V1 for 75% layout), picked my own switches (Gateron Milky Yellow Pro for me), and some keycaps (I went with some basic PBT caps from KBDfans for $35, but expect to quadruple that if you want a certain GMK set). That’s a good starting spot that gets you up and going; you can always do your own stabs and other mods later. I suggest the Keychron V series since it’s affordable and rock solid — you’d want a Keychron V6 for 100% layout. After that, switches and caps is all user preference.

Had an annoyingly glitched mission. Need to place a couple boxes on some pedestals. Before I could do so I died, but respawned behind the locked gate. Killed everyone I was supposed to behind the gate (took a while, was tough), but then the magic gate didn't open to let me face the boss of the dungeon. Quit and restarted and of course none of my progress was saved and I have to start from scratch.

In non-Diablo news, Street Fighter 6 is awesome. I went something like 50-2 against my buddy using Marisa. She punch good.

[BMatt07]

Been hit for overtime the last two nights.. haven't been able to play Diablo and it' getting annoying lol.

Have off Sunday and Monday, there will be a D4 marathon for two straight days.

[StickeeFingaz]

Already stopped playing my necromancer and switched to sorcerer. Necro just wasn't much fun.

Reviews look excellent, excited to play it.

There's just an insane number of games I want to play right now and this summer, so not sure when I will. I have a long way to go in Zelda; waiting on D4 reviews, but suspect I'll pick it up at launch given my ARPG fandom; SF6; Final Fantasy 16 is high on my list, and top of mind I can't recall, but I believe the second FF7R episode comes out in the fall, too; haven't played Jedi Survivor yet; and I there'll be a new POE league somewhere in there, too.

Jesus. I'm going to need to get pick-and-choosy.

Mother ****, I forgot Baldur's Gate 3 (just saw an ad) and C:S2 from my list. I am destined to do nothing but game the entire rest of the year

[TroyD92]

16 -> BG3 -> FF7R-chapter 2 -> I’m good

[ReasonablySober]

It really is a pretty insane year for big time games. I'm still very excited for Starfield, new Armored Core, and Spider-Man 2. I'm sure I'll be picking up the new AC, Street Fighter and FF games. I own but haven't touched Hogwarts, Wo Long, Octopath, and Jedi Survivor.

Yeah, I keep reminding myself BG3 is in August so I don’t buy any more big time commitment games between now and then. I put like 40hrs into an incomplete Act 1 during Early Access, so that’ll be a time sink. A lot of potentially good games this year.

Random SF6 thing, but going through tutorials on classic controls and I can do the normal for luke which is down, down-right, and right, but for the super art it says to do it twice basically and then punch. I can do the normal one without thinking about it, but am i just going to slow for the super?

[TroyD92]

Okay streetfighter might have its hooks in me. It's legit fun/challenging just to learn movesets.

[MikeIsGood]

Got my first legendary drop at 29 and completely changed my build. The feel of my skill rotation is much different now, as is mana management and what my enchantments do. But I'm loving it. Also synergized with an aspect I'd gotten from a dungeon, so now I've got 2 offensive legendary effects up.

[WRau1]

I still haven't touched Spider Man: Miles Morales, I should probably knock that out soon.
