Progressing through Diablo 4!

in #hive-140217last year

Although my beautiful 3080ti died this week thanks to a manufacturer's fault in the Gigabyte graphics cards that Diablo 4 set aflame, we have a backup graphics card in the house — a 1080ti — and I swiftly got back into Sanctuary whilst awaiting my warranty claim.

If you missed it: be wary of playing Diablo 4 with a Gigabyte 3080ti

Despite being frustrated and annoyed that it happened to me, I'm not overly upset. It's still under warranty, since it's discontinued I might actually get an upgrade, and we had the spare graphics card so I can still do things.

On that note, let's talk about Diablo 4!

It truly is a fantastic game. While I say it killed my graphics card, technically it is a manufacturing fault by Gigabyte, it just so happens that the game nudged it. If you google Diablo 4 killing 3080ti cards, you'll see it's happened to a tonne of people and they're all Gigabyte cards.

While it's easy to blame the game, it's not technically on Blizzard. It's on Gigabyte.

ANYWAY. Game.

I love it.

I made a fiery sorceress which is so much fun! I'm really enjoying the fiery "ultimate" ability that summons a giant snake to wrap around a mass of enemies. Nothing costs mana during the time the snake is active so I summon the snake then WHAM!! Meteors and fireballs for everyone.

It's fantastic!

I've only finished Act 1 so far and I can't bring myself to continue onwards to Act 2... because there's still so much to do in this first area!

As a certified completionist, I'm trying to complete all the quests, find all the altars of Lilith, complete all the dungeons... the altars are especially tricky because I don't want to use a guide for them; I want to find them myself.

Unfortunately, the game had other ideas. xD

I had completed 22 out of 23 dungeons in the first region and I was going crazy, trying to find the last one. Only to discover that it's not available yet. I looked it up and found a guide where #23 only had "???" listed beside it... so I'm assuming I can access it later, perhaps once the campaign is complete.

So I finally went to the next region and began Act 2. 😅

I've been getting so many cool legendary items that have been making my sorceress extra fun.

I have an amulet that allows me to summon an extra hydra, plus I have my hydra on my enchantments so every time I use 300 mana, another free hydra is summoned. Sometimes I have three of the things around, spitting fireballs at enemies. It's great!

I have a legendary ring that gives me an immunity shield if I suffer too much damage. One that stacks armour. One that makes my primary attack 40% faster. My sorceress is rocking!

I'm taking my time playing; I'm almost level 50 and have only just started Act 2. Most importantly: I'm having so much fun. Yes, my graphics card died, but at least I can still play this game I've been waiting for for so long.

It's so good.

 

Until next time!~ 😈🔥

A good player, he always has spare parts.
The game looks great, I'm glad you're having a good time.

The fire sorceress is so much fun. Using that snake to drag in enemies and blast them with free fireballs is so satisfying.

I ran into a bit of a wall today. Turns out that when you reach level 50 you barely get any more exp from WT1 and WT2 seeing as its designed for levels 1-50. WT3 which is meant for 50+ doesn't unlock after beating the campaign. Feels like I'm being punished for being thorough and completing side content which sucks.

WHAT!

UGH!...

hahaha thank you for this info, my early access buddy!

Oh nooooo! Maybe I will just go through the campaign then and come back to everything afterwards. ☹️ It's so hard though. xD I see things and I get distracted!

Ohh girl this game is looking extremely good and fun! Diablo never dissapoint!

It is!! I highly recommend it to peoples! 😁😁😁

beautiful 3080ti died this week.

WHAT!?

If you google Diablo 4 killing 3080ti cards, you'll see it's happened to a tonne of people and they're all Gigabyte cards.

googles* oh the new world issue!, well on one hand yeah it's the manufacturer's fault on the other it's the heat~.


I AM SO JELLY. JUST LESS THAN A DAY! HAHAHAHAHA I CAN FINALLY PLAY!.

red attire, check.
fire magic, check.
burning video card, check check check.

full fledge fire mage!

does sorceress get a semi permanent minion(s)?

googles* oh the new world issue!, well on one hand yeah it's the manufacturer's fault on the other it's the heat~.

On the other hand there was no registered increase in temperature so I had no idea that's what was happening until it happened. On the other other hand, Gigabyte's failsafe failed to activate and save itself from the fail, so failures all around. xD

Got my warranty claim approved this morning, sent the gpu to them a couple of hours ago, waiting to hear my outcome — be nice to hear something by the end of the week.

On the OTHER other other hand xD Diablo 4 is great. FIREEEEE! No permanent minions as far as I can tell. But. FIRE. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 You'll have a blast!!! 😁😄

that's true! if the gpu temps reach dangerous levels it should have save itself.

JUST A FEW MORE HOURS!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHA!
