[Gaming] Diablo IV (this time we get horses)

I'm playing. I have 3 characters. One solo (barbarian), one with my buddy (necromancer, which I HATE), and one with my buddy and another friend (sorcerer, which I LOVE).

They are all almost the same level, but I've not gotten a horse nor have I even come close to getting 50. I will post some gear, but not until I actually HIT 50 because gear before that is just not worth linking.
 
I have a sorcerer that I’m really loving so far. I played sorcerer, necro and rogue in beta/server slam and enjoyed all three so I will be starting a second shortly.
 
My queue was 2 minutes for a very long time and now it’s “error”. I’ve got a cat on my lap, so it will be a while before I get up to fix it.

There was a problem logging in.
 
It’s been running super well on my Steam Deck (other than my poor fan during the server issues last night), but the controller while docked hasn’t been great. I got this one today and am hoping it works. I paid the extra $10 for glowing colours.

Made it to Torment last night and fell asleep before I got to try it. If I can get decent wifi at the airport, I will be playing there. This is one of the times that a solo mode would be fantastic.

Nice! I have found four or five sets of horse armor and I still use the basic skin. Because unless it does something tangible, I just don't bother.

I’m at 71 and am in that weird place where I have to have ancestrals to get better but I’m not good enough for T4 nightmare dungeons. My build has the numbers but I just can’t get over that hump. I’m a whirlwind barb trying to follow a guide but I don’t feel I do any damage and I die a LOT.

Getting frustrated. Next time I play I’m going to run lots of things so I can sell stuff. I’m broke after trying to respec all my gear.

My sorcerer buddy comes in with me and just demolishes everything but he can’t take even a single hit. So he does a lot. But MAN can he clear out a room!
 
That’s what I play. Frost Sorc. If I can get in and get off a frost nova, I’m good. However…..I’m a squish.

That last fight vs. (redacted) in the second capstone was bleak as a mega squish.

I have had 3 seasonal characters.

  1. Helga - Druid. Played until level 44 and just never really had any fun with her.
  2. BoneDaddy - Necromancer. Played until level 32 where he got mushed by the Butcher in a dungeon. And since he was a hardcore character...
  3. BoneSprIsRdy - Necromancer. Just hit level 51 with him and am having a lot of fun. But once the season is over his build will be gone since it's centered on caged hearts, which is fucking stupid that we don't get to keep them.
Yeah, I'm enjoying it, but only because I'm playing with friends and it's the beginning levels. Once we hit Tier 4 and it starts REALLY getting grindy I think it'll pale quickly.
 
I started on a rogue this season and I’m so glad I changed to necro. I am loving her. I hope we can keep the hearts. I’m in Torment now and it was rough until I leveled up.
 
I will probably play this in the future, but right now is not that time.
I still want to play, but I still can't afford the time to do so.
I can't even get it, because I know if I do, it'll be whispering in my ear all day long, taking up 25% of my thoughts until I succumb.

I’ve been playing the new season. Still don’t like it as much as D3 but they’ve certainly improved a lot of things. The electric mage is now actually viable. So far. I mean, I’m only level 32 or so.
