Full Transcript for Preorder Prava – Episode 459

October, 47 00:01:33,710 --> 00:01:36,270 and players now have reason to believe there 48 00:01:36,270 --> 00:01:38,594 will be major changes to the game's max 49 00:01:38,594 --> 00:01:41,155 level, paragon system, and even the amount of 50 00:01:41,155 --> 00:01:43,314 damage players deal come the release of the 51 00:01:43,314 --> 00:01:44,534 game's first expansion. 52 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,840 Blizzard recently gave players an in-depth look at 53 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,479 the expansion's new class, the spirit born, as 54 00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:52,665 pointed out by wow head and discussed on 55 00:01:52,665 --> 00:01:54,685 places like the Diablo 4 subreddit, 56 00:01:55,064 --> 00:01:57,805 nestled among the new spirit born gameplay footage 57 00:01:57,864 --> 00:02:00,790 from various media outlets and content creators is 58 00:02:00,790 --> 00:02:03,590 evidence that the game's maximum level cap might 59 00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:06,150 be going down from level 100 to just 60 00:02:06,150 --> 00:02:08,634 60. It also indicates a major change in 61 00:02:08,634 --> 00:02:11,134 the way the game's paragon points are distributed. 62 00:02:11,594 --> 00:02:13,754 There are a few clues as to why 63 00:02:13,754 --> 00:02:16,254 this might be the case. Spirit borne gameplay 64 00:02:16,349 --> 00:02:19,790 footage shows XP bars post level 50 without 65 00:02:19,790 --> 00:02:22,430 the paragon point unlock nodes seen in the 66 00:02:22,430 --> 00:02:24,590 current version of the game. Instead, it looks 67 00:02:24,590 --> 00:02:28,044 like players may earn paragon points each, quote, 68 00:02:28,104 --> 00:02:30,664 level, end quote, after max in a way 69 00:02:30,664 --> 00:02:32,504 that could be closer to how players earned 70 00:02:32,504 --> 00:02:35,300 paragon points in Diablo 3. That being said, 71 00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:37,699 it is unlikely players will be able to 72 00:02:37,699 --> 00:02:40,740 earn quote infinite end quote paragon points like 73 00:02:40,740 --> 00:02:43,495 in Diablo 3 as that would require blizzard 74 00:02:43,495 --> 00:02:46,854 to completely rework Diablo four's existing paragon board 75 00:02:46,854 --> 00:02:47,354 system. 76 00:02:47,735 --> 00:02:50,534 Other evidence suggesting a new lower max level 77 00:02:50,534 --> 00:02:52,949 is an in game tooltip that states the 78 00:02:52,949 --> 00:02:55,830 amount of armor players will need at level 79 00:02:55,830 --> 00:02:58,069 60. In the current game, the tooltip references 80 00:02:58,069 --> 00:03:00,250 the amount of armor needed at level 100. 81 00:03:00,549 --> 00:03:03,485 The healing potion upgrades from the alchemist shown 82 00:03:03,485 --> 00:03:05,564 in the spirit borne gameplay footage is another 83 00:03:05,564 --> 00:03:07,884 indication with the new upgrades looking like they 84 00:03:07,884 --> 00:03:10,209 will cap out closer to level 60 instead 85 00:03:10,209 --> 00:03:12,709 of level 90 like in the current game. 86 00:03:12,849 --> 00:03:14,449 Going hand in hand with the max level 87 00:03:14,449 --> 00:03:16,530 and paragon changes looks to be a damage 88 00:03:16,530 --> 00:03:19,384 number squish. It's something many players have requested 89 00:03:19,384 --> 00:03:21,625 given that damage values in Diablo 4 can 90 00:03:21,625 --> 00:03:23,645 currently be in the 1,000,000 or even 1,000,000,000, 91 00:03:23,705 --> 00:03:26,365 making them extremely hard to read, and reoccurring 92 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,000 boss requiring bosses to have the health in 93 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,939 the trillions in order to compensate. 94 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,159 Goes on from there. And at the bottom, 95 00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:36,305 there are some imagery from the vessel of 96 00:03:36,305 --> 00:03:39,045 hatred, just screenshots of it. It's pretty neat. 97 00:03:39,985 --> 00:03:41,605 Moving on, we have, 98 00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:44,000 recently ish, well, actually I guess it was 99 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:44,500 July, 100 00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:47,599 26. So not that long ago, there is 101 00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:50,659 on the US blizzard forums for Diablo 102 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,555 Immortal and it's titled introducing your new Diablo 103 00:03:54,555 --> 00:03:57,754 Immortal community manager.

There's a lot more in here. 132 00:04:58,564 --> 00:05:00,165 So that's like the first part. And then 133 00:05:00,165 --> 00:05:01,685 he's got a section here that says a 134 00:05:01,685 --> 00:05:03,845 little bit about myself. And he wrote, I've 135 00:05:03,845 --> 00:05:06,009 been working in community management for for about 136 00:05:06,009 --> 00:05:08,329 10 years now, specifically on mobile and free 137 00:05:08,329 --> 00:05:10,729 to play free to play GES. That's either 138 00:05:10,729 --> 00:05:11,930 a typo or I don't know what this 139 00:05:11,930 --> 00:05:14,889 word is, with passionate communities like yourself. I 140 00:05:14,889 --> 00:05:18,225 believe in meaningful communications that keep players informed 141 00:05:18,225 --> 00:05:20,225 and prepared. This means that I will always 142 00:05:20,225 --> 00:05:22,145 do my best to answer questions and deliver 143 00:05:22,145 --> 00:05:24,910 timely communications and responses, but that doesn't mean 144 00:05:24,910 --> 00:05:26,350 that I will be able to answer every 145 00:05:26,350 --> 00:05:28,509 question that is posted and especially not when 146 00:05:28,509 --> 00:05:31,170 they are specific to individual players slash accounts. 147 00:05:31,310 --> 00:05:32,404 I, unfortunately, This 148 00:05:41,345 --> 00:05:43,810 means that This means that the inflection slash 149 00:05:43,810 --> 00:05:46,050 emotion behind those words might be left to 150 00:05:46,050 --> 00:05:46,550 interpretation, 151 00:05:47,009 --> 00:05:48,689 but I ask that you try to and 152 00:05:48,689 --> 00:05:50,629 read them as neutrally as possible. 153 00:05:51,090 --> 00:05:52,745 I think player feedback is one of the 154 00:05:52,745 --> 00:05:54,985 greatest, most powerful tools to improve a game, 155 00:05:54,985 --> 00:05:56,824 and I will always welcome feedback, but it 156 00:05:56,824 --> 00:05:58,204 needs to be done constructively. 157 00:05:58,664 --> 00:06:00,689 Be passionate about what you have to say, 158 00:06:00,689 --> 00:06:02,689 but let's keep it professional.

Insults and rants tend to 162 00:06:08,644 --> 00:06:10,485 derail your feedback, and I don't want that 163 00:06:10,485 --> 00:06:13,125 to happen, he writes. However, player feedback is 164 00:06:13,125 --> 00:06:15,125 not the only metric on which decisions are 165 00:06:15,125 --> 00:06:17,189 made, and we should be honest about that. 166 00:06:17,189 --> 00:06:19,209 Sometimes decisions that are unpopular 167 00:06:19,670 --> 00:06:20,949 will be made for the sake of the 168 00:06:20,949 --> 00:06:23,214 long term health of the game, and sometimes 169 00:06:23,274 --> 00:06:24,175 player feedback 170 00:06:24,714 --> 00:06:26,794 just doesn't fit in the future plans of 171 00:06:26,794 --> 00:06:27,454 the game. 172 00:06:27,914 --> 00:06:29,354 And then there's more in here, and you 173 00:06:29,354 --> 00:06:30,660 could follow him on Twitter, 174 00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:31,939 slash 175 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,800 x.

But these types of books 236 00:08:39,894 --> 00:08:42,554 focused on a particular character in the game 237 00:08:42,774 --> 00:08:45,654 are usually focused on, like, what's their background? 238 00:08:45,654 --> 00:08:47,414 What did they do?

In the book of Lorath, 264 00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:44,039 which was released last year along with diablo 265 00:09:44,039 --> 00:09:46,695 four, more details were provided about lorath and 266 00:09:46,695 --> 00:09:49,014 Norell's journeys from the end of diablo 4 267 00:09:49,014 --> 00:09:51,495 main campaign to just prior to what was 268 00:09:51,495 --> 00:09:53,769 presented in the vessel of hatred release date 269 00:09:53,769 --> 00:09:56,570 trailer.

Rogue gets flurry and dark shroud 447 00:16:48,235 --> 00:16:49,455 and also mobility. 448 00:16:49,834 --> 00:16:52,554 Sorcerer gets chain lightning and mana. These will 449 00:16:52,554 --> 00:16:54,875 allow you to focus on leveling faster with 450 00:16:54,875 --> 00:16:57,709 certain builds due to the power increases you'll 451 00:16:57,709 --> 00:17:00,850 receive by completing the season journey. For example, 452 00:17:01,149 --> 00:17:03,389 as a rogue you'll benefit from running the 453 00:17:03,389 --> 00:17:06,505 flurry leveling build or as a sorcerer the 454 00:17:06,505 --> 00:17:09,464 chain lightning leveling build. With that being said, 455 00:17:09,464 --> 00:17:11,464 leveling is now fast enough that you can 456 00:17:11,464 --> 00:17:13,830 definitely choose to play what you find fun. 457 00:17:13,890 --> 00:17:15,890 Leveling isn't the only new thing to this 458 00:17:15,890 --> 00:17:17,890 season, though. We've updated our guides with the 459 00:17:17,890 --> 00:17:20,255 freshest information, giving you everything you need to 460 00:17:20,255 --> 00:17:21,855 know all in one spot. And that part's 461 00:17:21,855 --> 00:17:22,835 coming from Wowhead. 462 00:17:23,455 --> 00:17:25,235 And there's tier lists in here 463 00:17:25,615 --> 00:17:27,555 you can check out too, but, basically, 464 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:28,859 it's live. 465 00:17:29,319 --> 00:17:31,559 This was posted 4 days ago, so you 466 00:17:31,559 --> 00:17:33,720 can get in there. We've also got from 467 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,005 Blizzard watch who are also really cool people. 468 00:17:36,964 --> 00:17:37,464 Similar, 469 00:17:38,005 --> 00:17:38,744 but different. 470 00:17:39,285 --> 00:17:41,525 This one's titled everything you need to know 471 00:17:41,525 --> 00:17:44,184 about Diablo 4 season 5 and its infernal 472 00:17:44,244 --> 00:17:46,900 hordes now live written by Elizabeth Harper. And 473 00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:49,220 there's the iconic photo of all the types 474 00:17:49,220 --> 00:17:51,299 of classes you can play standing around a 475 00:17:51,299 --> 00:17:53,664 campfire. You've probably seen that one before. If 476 00:17:53,664 --> 00:17:56,244 you're still playing the game, you probably have. 477 00:17:56,944 --> 00:17:59,505 Diablo 4 season 5 is now live. Much 478 00:17:59,505 --> 00:18:01,700 like, and much like season 4, this is 479 00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:04,259 another season that focuses on buffing the base 480 00:18:04,259 --> 00:18:07,000 game with new gameplay that isn't season specific. 481 00:18:07,380 --> 00:18:10,105 Loot overall got buffed last season, so this 482 00:18:10,105 --> 00:18:13,144 season focuses on buffing uniques, which were feeling 483 00:18:13,144 --> 00:18:15,384 pretty weak in season 4. We also have 484 00:18:15,384 --> 00:18:17,704 more end game activities with the hellish new 485 00:18:17,704 --> 00:18:20,920 infernal hordes event and fell council battle. But 486 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,160 whether you're eager for another new end game 487 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,920 event or not, there's a lot to look 488 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,134 forward to next season which will be a 489 00:18:27,134 --> 00:18:30,255 brief one lasting only until the expansion launches 490 00:18:30,255 --> 00:18:32,335 on October 8th, but it will add a 491 00:18:32,335 --> 00:18:34,494 lot of content for both seasonal and non 492 00:18:34,494 --> 00:18:37,319 seasonal characters. Here's what we know about Diablo 493 00:18:37,380 --> 00:18:39,700 4 season 5 and the short season 5 494 00:18:39,700 --> 00:18:42,200 schedule. What are infernal hordes? 495 00:18:42,845 --> 00:18:45,245 Mark marking their debut in season 5, these 496 00:18:45,245 --> 00:18:47,565 hellish new dungeons throw waves of enemies at 497 00:18:47,565 --> 00:18:49,245 you

and in between each wave you can 498 00:18:49,245 --> 00:18:51,559 choose a new infernal offer, which adds a 499 00:18:51,559 --> 00:18:54,279 new challenge to the next wave and more 500 00:18:54,279 --> 00:18:56,679 rewards to go with it. Each wave is 501 00:18:56,679 --> 00:18:58,519 a quick 90 seconds, and you will need 502 00:18:58,519 --> 00:19:00,785 to survive them and kill all enemies. 503 00:19:01,244 --> 00:19:04,445 As you progress, you'll earn burning ether, which 504 00:19:04,445 --> 00:19:06,365 will unlock spoils of hell at the end 505 00:19:06,365 --> 00:19:08,869 of the run, rewarding gold, materials, or gear. 506 00:19:09,169 --> 00:19:11,009 If you complete every wave, you'll go on 507 00:19:11,009 --> 00:19:13,190 to battle the Fell Council, the same Zaccarim 508 00:19:13,250 --> 00:19:15,934 priest who guarded Mephisto's soul soul stone in 509 00:19:15,934 --> 00:19:16,434 Travancall, 510 00:19:16,894 --> 00:19:18,894 a place we'll be returning to in vessel 511 00:19:18,894 --> 00:19:21,615 of hatred. There are 5 fell priests to 512 00:19:21,615 --> 00:19:23,880 fight, but the encounter will pit you against 513 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,539 3 of them at random, making each run 514 00:19:26,599 --> 00:19:29,240 a bit different. Infernal hordes have 3 tiers 515 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,599 of difficulty with tier 1 available in world 516 00:19:32,599 --> 00:19:35,194 tier 3, tier 2 available in world tier 517 00:19:35,194 --> 00:19:37,434 4, and tier 3 available in world tier 518 00:19:37,434 --> 00:19:39,054 4 at level 100. 519 00:19:39,355 --> 00:19:41,269 Now that might be a problem if they're, 520 00:19:41,349 --> 00:19:43,109 like, if 100 is the top and that's 521 00:19:43,109 --> 00:19:45,910 what it's been, I'm not sure that, you 522 00:19:45,910 --> 00:19:47,990 know, if they cap it at 60 and 523 00:19:47,990 --> 00:19:49,634 you go into this, I'm not sure if 524 00:19:49,634 --> 00:19:52,914 they're, like, making that balance or not. Not 525 00:19:52,994 --> 00:19:54,595 I'm not talking about, you know, Blizzard Watch, 526 00:19:54,595 --> 00:19:54,994 but, 527 00:19:55,474 --> 00:19:58,160 if Blizzard itself is, like, trying to I 528 00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,380 don't know how that's gonna work. 529 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,680 Like, world tier 4 at level 100, but 530 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,279 if you can't do level 100 and you're 531 00:20:03,279 --> 00:20:04,960 stuck at 60, how is this gonna work? 532 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,720 I'm not sure, but, might give it a 533 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:07,025 try. 534 00:20:07,585 --> 00:20:09,904 Rewards will scale with difficulty, so expect more 535 00:20:09,904 --> 00:20:11,664 gold and better gear as you progress, but 536 00:20:11,664 --> 00:20:13,744 the hardest part of the infernal hordes may 537 00:20:13,744 --> 00:20:15,659 actually be getting to them. The event requires 538 00:20:15,659 --> 00:20:18,059 an infernal compass to start, and after getting 539 00:20:18,059 --> 00:20:19,819 the first one through a quest, the rest 540 00:20:19,819 --> 00:20:22,460 are rare drops from everyday game activities. Finding 541 00:20:22,460 --> 00:20:25,715 more compasses and highly higher quality compasses to 542 00:20:25,715 --> 00:20:27,734 even start this event can be a challenge. 543 00:20:27,795 --> 00:20:29,634 Drops were scarce on the PTR, but have 544 00:20:29,634 --> 00:20:31,490 reportedly been buffed. So we'll see how it 545 00:20:31,490 --> 00:20:33,570 looks now that the season has started. So 546 00:20:33,570 --> 00:20:35,970 that's pretty much there. There's also other stuff 547 00:20:35,970 --> 00:20:37,330 in here that's pretty neat to, 548 00:20:38,049 --> 00:20:38,789 skim through. 549 00:20:39,585 --> 00:20:41,424 Most season 5 features will also be on 550 00:20:41,424 --> 00:20:44,144 the eternal realms. Not sure what that's supposed 551 00:20:44,144 --> 00:20:45,904 to be. Season 5 will be the shortest 552 00:20:45,904 --> 00:20:46,724 season yet. 553 00:20:47,265 --> 00:20:49,289 What about season 6? Here's what they wrote. 554 00:20:49,509 --> 00:20:51,830 We all know about season 6. All we 555 00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:53,590 know about season 6 is that it will 556 00:20:53,590 --> 00:20:56,375 start on October 8 alongside vessel of hatred. 557 00:20:56,375 --> 00:20:58,055 That feels like an odd time to launch 558 00:20:58,055 --> 00:20:59,115 launch a season 559 00:20:59,414 --> 00:21:00,934 as we'll probably all be jumping into the 560 00:21:00,934 --> 00:21:02,934 new story with our favorite characters, though I 561 00:21:02,934 --> 00:21:04,429 suppose it would be a good time as 562 00:21:04,429 --> 00:21:06,269 any to roll a new spirit born alongside 563 00:21:06,269 --> 00:21:08,829 the new season. However, the timing makes me 564 00:21:08,829 --> 00:21:11,069 wonder if we'll get another lightweight season that's 565 00:21:11,069 --> 00:21:13,585 primarily focused on overall gameplay changes in the 566 00:21:13,585 --> 00:21:15,825 expansion rather than offering a unique theme to 567 00:21:15,825 --> 00:21:17,664 play with. With season 5 still on the 568 00:21:17,664 --> 00:21:20,065 horizon, I don't expect any news about season 569 00:21:20,065 --> 00:21:22,309 6 soon, but I'll update this post when 570 00:21:22,309 --> 00:21:24,730 we have details. So that's from Blizzard watch. 571 00:21:24,869 --> 00:21:26,869 And this one is kind of ominous to 572 00:21:26,869 --> 00:21:28,605 me in in several ways. 573 00:21:29,085 --> 00:21:31,085 So this is from Wowhead, and it is 574 00:21:31,085 --> 00:21:34,464 titled Diablo 4 season 5 patch 1.5.0, 575 00:21:35,964 --> 00:21:39,000 now live for pre download.

00:21:49,894 types of things. Like, I I can't play 581 00:21:50,115 --> 00:21:52,595 Diablo 4 on my computer directly. I do 582 00:21:52,595 --> 00:21:55,570 this through Xbox instead, so we'll just see 583 00:21:55,570 --> 00:21:57,730 how that's gonna go. This one is written 584 00:21:57,730 --> 00:21:59,590 4 days ago by Garbanath, 585 00:22:00,130 --> 00:22:01,809 and also, you know, this is from Myohed. 586 00:22:01,809 --> 00:22:03,974 So here's a little bit about that. Diablo 587 00:22:04,275 --> 00:22:05,654 4 patch 1.5.0 588 00:22:06,674 --> 00:22:09,654 is now available to download. This patch includes 589 00:22:09,795 --> 00:22:13,140 new and reworked unique and legendary items, class 590 00:22:13,140 --> 00:22:16,180 updates, and new infernal hordes game mode, and 591 00:22:16,180 --> 00:22:19,220 more. According to the Diablo 4 community manager 592 00:22:19,220 --> 00:22:22,095 Marcus Kretz, season 5 is on track to 593 00:22:22,095 --> 00:22:25,134 release at 10 AM PDT, and Blizzard will 594 00:22:25,134 --> 00:22:27,694 be on standby to address any issues should 595 00:22:27,694 --> 00:22:30,190 they arise. And there is a screenshot from 596 00:22:30,190 --> 00:22:30,690 x 597 00:22:31,069 --> 00:22:31,890 from Marcus, 598 00:22:32,429 --> 00:22:35,150 Kretz, and he says happy Diablo 4 season 599 00:22:35,150 --> 00:22:38,190 of the infernal hordes launch day. Patch is 600 00:22:38,190 --> 00:22:41,054 now available for download on all platforms.

This was posted on August 6, 603 00:22:45,454 --> 00:22:46,914 2024, by the way. 604 00:22:47,214 --> 00:22:49,559 Team will be all eyes looking for any 605 00:22:49,559 --> 00:22:51,960 issues post launch. Super psyched. See you in 606 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,200 there. There's a little bit more here. Patch 607 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:54,700 1.5.0 608 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,920 is bringing a lot of changes to the 609 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,845 game, and players appear to be in agreement 610 00:22:58,845 --> 00:23:01,085 on one thing. Season 5 is shaping to 611 00:23:01,085 --> 00:23:03,964 be one of Diablo 4's best seasons yet. 612 00:23:03,964 --> 00:23:05,630 We're looking forward to trying out the new 613 00:23:05,710 --> 00:23:09,250 mini hellfire breaches in preparation of infernal hordes. 614 00:23:09,390 --> 00:23:10,990 So and then they ask what class you're 615 00:23:10,990 --> 00:23:13,630 playing, which, I don't think everybody's gonna jump 616 00:23:13,630 --> 00:23:15,605 in on that one. And then we've also 617 00:23:15,605 --> 00:23:16,964 got and this is kind of weird to 618 00:23:16,964 --> 00:23:18,085 me, but I'm just going to put it 619 00:23:18,085 --> 00:23:19,684 in here anyway. So this one is also 620 00:23:19,684 --> 00:23:22,029 from Wowhead. This one is written by Jen 621 00:23:22,029 --> 00:23:24,190 Artross, which again is not me. And so 622 00:23:24,190 --> 00:23:25,330 the topic of this, 623 00:23:25,710 --> 00:23:27,710 I guess the title of this one is 624 00:23:27,710 --> 00:23:29,809 beauty and sin sets return. 625 00:23:30,590 --> 00:23:34,714 New strappy leather cosmetics for necromancer and sorcerer 626 00:23:34,714 --> 00:23:37,755 in Diablo 4. So here's some stuff about 627 00:23:37,755 --> 00:23:39,920 that. Now these are things you have to 628 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,519 purchase. It's in, Tejal's shop, and everything just 629 00:23:43,519 --> 00:23:45,440 about everything in Tejal's shop is, 630 00:23:45,759 --> 00:23:47,664 something you have to pay for.
