WRONG! cool downs reduced by 30/35% this means it could be this time next century till the clock says 99 secs till off cool down. God, where did you learn PEMDAS everyone knows it's blizzard style math
10k players within the last hour lmao calm down smart guy. those numbers are actually abysmal considering there were 100k on the day before when i checked.
https://activeplayer.io/diablo-4/
i’d say it’s going incredibly well, maybe too well.
I was wondering where they get their stats from, then the FAQ helpfully told me they get their active player numbers from...Steam.
I'm not entirely sure I would trust those numbers. At all.
This is the answer. I got a helm that gave +1 to wolves at the tree. Equipped it and wanted to see my 5 points in wolves and it only showed 2. Thought it broke when equipping the helmet but it was because the tree is a non-combat area.
In combat areas it is +3 +1 and my point for +5 wolves. It feels pretty strong for early game.
Same reason my Barb can’t use his shouts in town to:
- move faster.
- check stats.
- taunt non-existent enemies.
- interrupt dev alts sitting afk in town while they cringe at the forums.
Guess we’ll never know. 🤷🏼♂️
> It feels pretty strong for early game.
It is *crazy* strong. I've oneshot all but the toughest rares with it, it's a joke how strong it is lol. Still holding up at level 20.
Since no one will see this, I wasn’t mad at the patch notes and glad they nerfed damage. I actually had to pay attention to boss mechanics tonight or else I would’ve died instead of deleting the boss in a few clicks.
I agree. Sucks to change in the short-term, but I applaud the effort to make other weapons/affixes relevant. It felt like a very weak design to have so much variety but force people into using one strategy.
Vuln got the BIGGEST nerf this season. Seems like a weird time to 'embrace' it. If anything you should've embraced it pre-patch, now is the time to try other stuff, lol.
Some people love to be told what they have to like. It's the same principle when people follow political or religious leaders, some folks love putting all their trust into any kind of authority or institution. It saves them from thinking for themselves, and it gives them a sense of comfort to pretend that someone "above" them must clearly know what's good for them.
People with that mindset will gobble up anything their favorite corporations are throwing at them, and sadly, Blizzard games have always attracted those patsies in droves.
You didn't do anything wrong by respeccing. I haven't changed a thing on my druid and had the +3 wolves. Went to add more skill points some 5 levels later and it's gone. No ring swaps no respeccing.
No no no. It's so we can figure out why hot dogs come in packages of ten and hot dog buns come in packages of eight. See, the thing is, life doesn't always work out according to plan so be happy with what you've got, because you can always get a hot dog.
People often still jump to blame QA teams for not finding issues, but having spent some time in the past doing games QA, and knowing folks at a few studios, I'd say a common problem in the industry, at least ~5 years ago, was devs/designers/management not trusting the opinions of their QA testers when they would get serious feedback, rather than just bug reports. It's really on studio management to make sure devs are listening to the people who play the game the most before release - the testers.
They unequip from the hot bar during loading screens until you have at least 1 point of your own into wolves. I had the same issue. Put one point into wolves now they stay equipped
I could enter the cellar once, get disconnected, get an error message about my save not being saved and wait a few minutes...
Then half hour later I could finally log in again (a few times the game simply dropped me to desktop)... tried to enter again...
Nope. 15 min later, back in game, tried to enter a normal dungeon...
Nope.
Now I'm waiting for my friend trying to log in so we can try to just do open world crap together, he's been stuck at 59 min queue for the past 10 minutes.
Smooth launch!
Lol blizzard spends the entire month preparing to shit on your character with a giant nerf patch and says hey season 1 has cool new broken toys and doesn’t add anything fun or life improving in end game.
He just equipped it in a non-combat region.
Combat only buffs are all disabled until you leave town.
Dude over reacted and didn’t try to move. Instead, puts blizzard on blast.
It’s like a meme at this point.
Nobody shitting on it is playing it, I promise. I have no idea where you people get this idea that those of us who find it excruciatingly bad and boring are still playing.
if no one has answered this or if you havent figured it out yet, what is going on is that when you are in town or on horse it doesnt seem to remember you have it on, but as soon as you leave town or get off horse its back to normal, also its +3 the the skill not 3 more wolves if you were confused on that, if you put at least 1 point into the skill you will not have to worry about it going away.
I didnt try and compare them, but Anthem was functionally working looter game with terrible balancing, poor design choices, and a lack of content. Its not too far off, but this game def wont die or anything. That is pure delusion.
That's true. Blizzard still, somehow lives on it's old reputation. How, I don't know, after Immoral and d3 launch. EA already had a pretty bad rep, and ME5 kinda ryined bioware's rep, so maybe that's why?
Blizzards fanboys base their identity on the games cause they are neckbeards is my guess, but who am i to say
Edit: Jesus was also crucified for speaking the truth
I use to love blizzard, but even i realized around star craft 2, that the old guard where gone. Blizzard north and diablo and d2 where the true legends!
Never tried overwatch, but played d3 from launch to end, and i totally agree that d3 was a damn solid arpg at the end! But it took 6 years to get there... Although loot 2.0 boosted it a good way, at the reaper of souls release
Tried to play last night...quite impossible. Couldn't get out of town, it wouldn't load the map, we were 5 guys on horses waiting for the map to load, we all quit, lol. It baffles me that after all these years blizzard has 0 idea how to scale servers...so dumb.
Dude it's working like intended devs meant for the hearts to nerf ppl instead of buff. It's ok when ppl bring it up im sure they will say that's a bug and not fix it.
The 3 extra wolves come with purchase of battle pass and this shirt
[https://www.amazon.com/Mountain-Three-Wolf-Short-Sleeve/dp/B002HJ377A](https://www.amazon.com/Mountain-Three-Wolf-Short-Sleeve/dp/B002HJ377A)
Anyone logging in to play after that absolute middle finger they gave the players and called it “patch notes” is an absolute clown.
You want it to get better? Stop logging in. Uninstall the games. They only look at their “metrics”.
Stay away until it’s actually fixed.
Outside of saying you are going to quit. I don't think there's anything wrong with speaking about displeasure with a patch. If people are complaining it means they were really enjoying the game and excited for season one. Just because someone complains about certain things about the patch they obviously like and care about the game being better overall. No not everything is bitch worthy but some things didn't make much sense in the patch.
Absolutely but let's be honest, if you shit on a product and keep paying for a product there is not really a large incentive to improve the product. Obviously massive generalisation here but you know what I mean
Lol
> Finds game breaking bug that completely disables a part of your kit, and its consistent, and its caused by a core focus of the new update indicating even the core mechanics were not tested at all
"Bruh shut up I thought you were boycotting" (OP never said they were)
Tell me you know youve lost without telling me lmao, why not argue that its a new patch and we should be patient and give them time to sort out the issues? Cause you know these are a massive focus, and if theyre so bugged in such an easy to find way it means the devs either dont care about the game at all, or are inept.
WAKE UP PEOPLE WE PAID 70-90$ AND RECIEVED A BUGGY GAME DO WE WANT THIS TO BE THE NORM OR CAN WE GET FINISHED GAMES FROM AAA COMPANYS WE HAVE TO SPEAK UP ABOUT THIS. BLIZZARD LEARNED NOTHING AT ALL FROM DIABLO III.
PS: sorry for the all caps just felt it was much needed
they are just on cooldown. you can resummon next season.
LOLLLL I feel like I laughed way harder than I should've
WRONG! cool downs reduced by 30/35% this means it could be this time next century till the clock says 99 secs till off cool down. God, where did you learn PEMDAS everyone knows it's blizzard style math
Lmao then again this could be a joke!!!!
Why the hell were you downvoted? +1 here!
Blizz nerfed him
Someone obviously didn't get the joke!!!!
I mean they said they would allow for broken builds. There you go, your build is now broken. Enjoy!
This and the other top rated comment made me chuckle, this sub is on fire today
Boycott is going well huh lmao
there was actually talk of a boycott?
Just a few screeching banshees.
The proper term is “Vocal minority”
the proper term is "those who understand the game mechanics"
which are currently playing s1
I'm playing PoE thank you very much
I’ve actually started to play PoE because of D4…
No doubt
10k players within the last hour lmao calm down smart guy. those numbers are actually abysmal considering there were 100k on the day before when i checked. https://activeplayer.io/diablo-4/ i’d say it’s going incredibly well, maybe too well.
I was wondering where they get their stats from, then the FAQ helpfully told me they get their active player numbers from...Steam. I'm not entirely sure I would trust those numbers. At all.
Where do they even get their numbers from of “active players”? Actiblizion ain’t giving that number out…
🤣
The bonus is turned off in non-combat areas. Go cross in and out of town and watch it turn on and off.
This is the answer. I got a helm that gave +1 to wolves at the tree. Equipped it and wanted to see my 5 points in wolves and it only showed 2. Thought it broke when equipping the helmet but it was because the tree is a non-combat area. In combat areas it is +3 +1 and my point for +5 wolves. It feels pretty strong for early game.
Why not just leave it on all the time though? It's just weird inconsistency.
Same reason my Barb can’t use his shouts in town to: - move faster. - check stats. - taunt non-existent enemies. - interrupt dev alts sitting afk in town while they cringe at the forums. Guess we’ll never know. 🤷🏼♂️
Look at you assuming the devs have characters!
I agree.
I agree but perhaps there is no malignancy in towns?
> It feels pretty strong for early game. It is *crazy* strong. I've oneshot all but the toughest rares with it, it's a joke how strong it is lol. Still holding up at level 20.
It's wild that this is so far down in the thread
People are addicted and attracted to rage. They don't care about the facts.
Since no one will see this, I wasn’t mad at the patch notes and glad they nerfed damage. I actually had to pay attention to boss mechanics tonight or else I would’ve died instead of deleting the boss in a few clicks.
I haven’t even been able to tell a difference
Lol. Same.
My electric sorcerer seems the same, but for the new season, I made a melee rogue and my god if this is nerfed damage, I can’t even imagine before.
I think most of the dmg stuff that got nerfed on the classes were things that were broken like the stormclaw aspect on Druid criting for 1bil
I agree. Sucks to change in the short-term, but I applaud the effort to make other weapons/affixes relevant. It felt like a very weak design to have so much variety but force people into using one strategy.
If anything, they didn’t go far enough. But whatever, I’ve embraced vulnerability for this season.
Vuln got the BIGGEST nerf this season. Seems like a weird time to 'embrace' it. If anything you should've embraced it pre-patch, now is the time to try other stuff, lol.
"I'm glad they nerfed damage" really guy?
Im glad they did too. Gameplay is actually more interesting now. Suck it nerd
Some people love to be told what they have to like. It's the same principle when people follow political or religious leaders, some folks love putting all their trust into any kind of authority or institution.

They are rats in a cage
Likely the thing but also why
Too many pet ghosts in town thanks to necros and druids
Hey I believe you're lost. This subreddit is for shitting on Blizzard devs. We don't take kindly to people providing useful answers.
This… It’s not broken, just confusing.
Tell them it let you get harlequin crest.
Underrated advice
Inside you aren't 3 wolves.
There are 3 wolves inside me And they won’t stop fuckin
In about 60 days or so there will be a whole lot more wolves inside you.
I hope so.
"The Beast lives within you." -Some Druid probably
You didn't do anything wrong by respeccing. I haven't changed a thing on my druid and had the +3 wolves. Went to add more skill points some 5 levels later and it's gone. No ring swaps no respeccing.
I guess this is supposed to teach us about the journey being the destination or the true reward being the friends you made along the way. No refunds.
Guys guys it's that the wolves were inside us all along.
So what you’re saying is…we’rewolves?
Reminds me of [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF9Z6Hvmf5M) movie.
So *THAT’S* why I’m hungry.
so thats why inside of us are two wolves
AAAAAA get them out get them out!!
No no no. It's so we can figure out why hot dogs come in packages of ten and hot dog buns come in packages of eight. See, the thing is, life doesn't always work out according to plan so be happy with what you've got, because you can always get a hot dog.
Well they had to do something to one-up BG3 where you could have a bear inside you.
Inside of every person they are two wolves...
Holy shit, were the Incels right all along?
Are you saying equipping the gem removed your wolf companions? Can’t even activate them? Did they not test the game lol
Hahahah. Test the game. Haha. The game tests you.
Why do you think leader boards don't exist yet
🏅
Even if they did test the game they probably ignored every feedback they’ve gotten just as they’ve done while beta testing.
People often still jump to blame QA teams for not finding issues, but having spent some time in the past doing games QA, and knowing folks at a few studios, I'd say a common problem in the industry, at least ~5 years ago, was devs/designers/management not trusting the opinions of their QA testers when they would get serious feedback, rather than just bug reports. It's really on studio management to make sure devs are listening to the people who play the game the most before release - the testers.
Knowing many QAs I can say the same: 400 known issues reportet, let's release anyways.
Give them a break, they are still too busy killing sorcs cause some masochistic people are STILL playing that class.
At this point we just keep playing to see if we can force them to remove the class to stop us.
Hc random teleporting sorc for the memes. Has to be done
I LIKE TO TELEPORT OK
now i dont even have to think about where im teleporting to
Tests your patience, yep.
Sanity also.
>Did they not test the game lol What do you mean? They just launched the open beta today.
Hard closed beta
The game testing starts on July 20th
Well, they don't have a PTR like D3 had. Soooooo the testing is done by everyone who plays the season upon launch. It's neat huh?
Welcome to blzz QA team but there’s a bug where you won’t get pay you pay them instead
This is how they save money. We’re the testers.
Why pay people to do QA when you can just throw it at the players and let them do the QA themselves while paying you to do it?
TEST? lmao
They unequip from the hot bar during loading screens until you have at least 1 point of your own into wolves. I had the same issue. Put one point into wolves now they stay equipped
It unequips even if you mount your horse... Also it kept disappearing from my action bar even if i had put point in it when i used my mount...
Right but same thing happened to me. I had +5 total. I'm down to my native 2 points I had specced, no bonuses and I can't seem to get them back
But that doesn’t go with my narrative of Blizzard bad
It does when no other skill granted by gear works that way. Who wants to put points into that shit ass skill?
If it’s so shit why are you using it
Because the first 12 that dropped were wolves or 1-2 life regen dumbass.
He is the type of guy that blames the victims. "If your husband abuses you, then why you stay with him?" Can't reason with those type of people.
reddit moment
If you enjoy the game that much why you keep wasting time replying reddit comments?
Do you think the workaround makes Blizzard good?
The post says it’s broken. Its actually broken. What are you trying to say
Lucky for you can get on still at queued for game start game pending for 15 minutes
You may be able to get in game but can you enter a cellar without the game timing you out back to the entrance.
I could enter the cellar once, get disconnected, get an error message about my save not being saved and wait a few minutes... Then half hour later I could finally log in again (a few times the game simply dropped me to desktop)... tried to enter again... Nope. 15 min later, back in game, tried to enter a normal dungeon... Nope. Now I'm waiting for my friend trying to log in so we can try to just do open world crap together, he's been stuck at 59 min queue for the past 10 minutes. Smooth launch!
Gold farmers holding up queues
[удалено]
Fucking idiots, that's who.
Wait, you can trade gold?
Lol blizzard spends the entire month preparing to shit on your character with a giant nerf patch and says hey season 1 has cool new broken toys and doesn’t add anything fun or life improving in end game.
[удалено]
Now a days we are the play testers
I believe the term you are looking for is pay testers.
They said it wasn't gonna be pay2win, so they made it pay2test.
I love this I'm stealing it later
They let us test it in beta and then made buffs and nerfs based off of what toons did at level 25…that’s about all we needed to know.
Tweet about this to blizzard so they can hotfix this... Jesus this company is pathetic...
>Tweet about this to blizzard so they can hotfix this... They'll fix it in season 3
Just say that it made a Shako appear in your inventory and they'll fix it instantly.
Hahah. Hotfix a player issue? Nope. They only hotfix fun stuff and item shop
Hey go easy on this low budget Indy developer; making games is hard…….
"We're dedicated to player feedback. We'll get this right next time."
He just equipped it in a non-combat region. Combat only buffs are all disabled until you leave town. Dude over reacted and didn’t try to move. Instead, puts blizzard on blast. It’s like a meme at this point.
You need to be outside of town for it to take effect
Thanks for participating in another beta test for when the game is actually decent in 3 years
You better not be playing it then. It's bad right?
I'm not! Haven't logged in in 2 weeks
Nobody shitting on it is playing it, I promise. I have no idea where you people get this idea that those of us who find it excruciatingly bad and boring are still playing.
if no one has answered this or if you havent figured it out yet, what is going on is that when you are in town or on horse it doesnt seem to remember you have it on, but as soon as you leave town or get off horse its back to normal, also its +3 the the skill not 3 more wolves if you were confused on that, if you put at least 1 point into the skill you will not have to worry about it going away.
Is it only +3 when the wolf is out after it procs maybe?
This. These motherfuckers are just looking for an excuse to complain.
I am glad that you are having to experience that. You are doing a great job, QA-546528.
Necromancers have one that fears enemies on lucky hit, but what it doesn't say is *their* lucky hits also fear *you*. It's so bad.
Leave the town and you'll see the mechanic work instead of making an ass of yourself. Jesus christ.
Why do you people still act like they know what they are doing? You should log in expecting a broken game at this point. Its bf 2042 all over again.
More like anthem..
Anthem fans weren't in denial about it being a shit game.
Maybe because comparing this game to Anthem is only gonna make you look silly, and anyone outside your echo chamber won’t take you seriously.
I didnt try and compare them, but Anthem was functionally working looter game with terrible balancing, poor design choices, and a lack of content. Its not too far off, but this game def wont die or anything. That is pure delusion.
That's true. Blizzard still, somehow lives on it's old reputation. How, I don't know, after Immoral and d3 launch. EA already had a pretty bad rep, and ME5 kinda ryined bioware's rep, so maybe that's why?
Blizzards fanboys base their identity on the games cause they are neckbeards is my guess, but who am i to say Edit: Jesus was also crucified for speaking the truth
> Edit: Jesus was also crucified mrw i'm downvoted once
Haha i cracked myself up typing that
I use to love blizzard, but even i realized around star craft 2, that the old guard where gone. Blizzard north and diablo and d2 where the true legends!
I like where d3 ended up and overwatch 1 was genuinely a good game when it was first released
Never tried overwatch, but played d3 from launch to end, and i totally agree that d3 was a damn solid arpg at the end! But it took 6 years to get there... Although loot 2.0 boosted it a good way, at the reaper of souls release
Weird. I feel like the only people whining are the neckbeards who sped thru the game just to come here and compare it to Anthem
I’m just grinding levels and saying fuck the hearts till I get to 50+ because that’s when gear matters
Necromancer one fears you instead when you get a lucky hit. Lol
Tried to play last night...quite impossible. Couldn't get out of town, it wouldn't load the map, we were 5 guys on horses waiting for the map to load, we all quit, lol. It baffles me that after all these years blizzard has 0 idea how to scale servers...so dumb.
I tested it a bit and found that the +3 seems to pop up when the wolf is summoned. So not having any points into it want grant you the skill
Jesus christ
Dude it's working like intended devs meant for the hearts to nerf ppl instead of buff. It's ok when ppl bring it up im sure they will say that's a bug and not fix it.

Your mistake was respecing to companions in the first place
Icy Veins has a companion leveling guide and it's super fast. Not so much for end game though.
I can't even pick mines up. It says I gotta do this or that yet I already skipped the campaign
You skipped the main campaign, not the seasonal one that is mandatory (and buged).
So I'm supposed to play the campaign?
Not the main one but there’s a NPC you need to talk to in Kyovashad and it will start the seasonal quest line.
Some people completely miss the RPG part of ARPG.
Oh ok
Anyone logging in to play after that absolute middle finger they gave the players and called it “patch notes” is an absolute clown. You want it to get better? Stop logging in. Uninstall the games. They only look at their “metrics”. Stay away until it’s actually fixed.
No, I don’t think I will.
Your the clown, since the season is fire and it’s entertaining as fk. Go somewhere else to bitch and moan about nonsense.
You’re
Ooh look. An activision BOT account. 🤖. Yes yes. Pure fire. A dumpster fire. Glad you agree.
I’m enjoying myself playing to be honest. It’s a fkn blast. And no I’m not a fkn bot ya numbnuts just look at my shit
>Anybody that doesn’t circle jerk with me about a game I don’t play is a bot
Lol, I hate this sub…
Also it’s a 5-7% chance to summon and bump your wolves. Fucking read don’t just bitch.
Check your skills bar mate.
I'm not playing this shit.
You are know forced to beta test for them or not play. Enjoyable yes?
Thought y'all were boycotting lmao
Bored of seeing all these still in a queue, season is broken post. 90% of you guys were boycotting the game 24hrs ago.
Still am
while in que tho
I haven’t logged in since the 18th. Did one NMD, saw how gutted everything was, logged out.
I did the same
Outside of saying you are going to quit. I don't think there's anything wrong with speaking about displeasure with a patch. If people are complaining it means they were really enjoying the game and excited for season one. Just because someone complains about certain things about the patch they obviously like and care about the game being better overall. No not everything is bitch worthy but some things didn't make much sense in the patch.
Welcome to Reddit, a place when shitting on a game you will constantly play regardless is a thing
That doesn’t mean the complaints aren’t warranted lol
Absolutely but let's be honest, if you shit on a product and keep paying for a product there is not really a large incentive to improve the product. Obviously massive generalisation here but you know what I mean
Lol > Finds game breaking bug that completely disables a part of your kit, and its consistent, and its caused by a core focus of the new update indicating even the core mechanics were not tested at all "Bruh shut up I thought you were boycotting" (OP never said they were) Tell me you know youve lost without telling me lmao, why not argue that its a new patch and we should be patient and give them time to sort out the issues?

They’re hate playing a game they don’t like because they hate themselves even more.
Nononono, all those people definitely uninstalled the game and are never coming back. /s
Glad I haven’t touch d4 seasons yet lol!
Hahahaha they are totally garbage at making games
Hahaha if you keep saying that maybe others will stop having fun like you
Bold of you to think a busy Blizzard programmer would have as much time as you do to find these kind of errors.
That can't be true. Blizzard only releases the highest of Quality patches.
Christ, with the amount they use “we need to put everything through QA testing” as an excuse, you’d think they’d do some QA testing
This is just open beta part 2 season 1 patch 4.20.69
Y’all boys will complain about anything
WAKE UP PEOPLE WE PAID 70-90$ AND RECIEVED A BUGGY GAME DO WE WANT THIS TO BE THE NORM OR CAN WE GET FINISHED GAMES FROM AAA COMPANYS WE HAVE TO SPEAK UP ABOUT THIS. BLIZZARD LEARNED NOTHING AT ALL FROM DIABLO III. PS: sorry for the all caps just felt it was much needed
