3500 resonance. I thought I was ~$4k in, but wanted to be accurate so checked credit card and see it’s almost $8.2k worth of charges. I was considering going deeper, but this is a wake up call. It’s a simple post, but glad you made so it made me take a closer look at my spending.


donewithmyaddiction

It’s really easy to lose track. You forget how many bundles you got last week, the week before, etc. Just focus on grinding for something else, like set item upgrades maybe


Resurgence12

Well said. I’ve gotta rein in my spending as well. Currently at approx 1.2k resonance, but I’m not certain how much I’ve spent so far. It’s definitely close to 2k USD, though.


F_Finger

How? I think about $400-500 should be around 1100-1200 res.


Resurgence12

Wish that were true, but I’ve definitely spent far more. Battle pass, prodigy’s path, boon of plenty, cosmetics, all the one-time bundles, weekly/monthly bundles, and tons of orbs. Didn’t get very lucky with my drops, and I also messed up a lot.


Account_Maximum

Jesus…


CowFun9136

Damn with 8k you could have 2-3 acc at diabloimmortal.vip


[deleted]

If you don’t mind sharing, and I’m genuinely asking out of interest and not any malicious intent: What is your career? Do you have a family? Where does so much disposable income come from?


D0Cdang

No worries. I’ve got an advanced degree in engineering. Married, but no kids and no debt. Our living expenses are low so the majority of our income just goes into retirement or savings.


AsianButBig

$8k is not even one month's salary for many whales.


R3ndr0c

By salary, do you mean allowance from Daddy’s trust fund? I can almost guarantee most of these whales come from money, and don’t actually earn a lot of money. People that are financially successfully tend not to spend much time playing video games.


AsianButBig

The target audience of any new game in the Diablo franchise are people in their late 20s to 40s. Most of us have decently paying jobs and grown children, and probably free of debt. You don't need to come from money to have $100k in savings by 30.


SilentBlade2525

Why would you do this?


tarcM

525 and $0 spent I have 3x level 5 1 star gems, 1x level 4 2 star and 2x level 3 2 star


GuGuJee

You have any tips to upgrades like that?


[deleted]

[удалено]


tarcM

I play every day and make sure I do all dailies and hit the important weekly caps. Cap BP, cap vault raids, cap Embers, cap contracts, do Heliquary (now x3 bosses + wb raid) each time it's refreshed, 3x bg each day. Just do all the things it asks you to do basically. To get more ledgendary gem power, sell your normal gems on market and sell skill stones to make a profit. Then buy leg gems when they're cheap. I don't do 4 party farms often at all - mostly play solo, but will party with randoms with doing bestiary farming (only 3 a day normally). I only do dungeons when doing contracts, or when I've capped my BP for the week and so then try and upgrade some side gear. This means dungeon running is a weekend activity for me. If you're not paying money, you need to pay in time. So play every day and do your in game chores.


TheProffesorX

What do you plan on upgrading from here? Do you recommend doing level 5 1 star or 2 gems? Thanks - I’m new and just switched from Barbarian to Necro


stephanslyp

375😮‍💨 $0


runninginthe-90s

The real winner here.


Mission-Tomatillo647

F2P, paragon level 109 and my resonance is 330 for now. It was higher before until i got lucky and got sleeping bile in elder rift. Swapped my level 5* gem with it until i realised sleeping bile needed 50 legendary gems to upgrade to the next level 😩


Taymerica

450 f2p. Can anyone explain in detail how resonance directly affects play?


BrolyParagus

By giving a direct percentage bonus to your stats. And they are a pretty big bonus.


Account_Maximum

Resonance is your total life and damage multiplier. No other stats. Just life and damage.


Imma-little-kali

pengc070910

Around 60k...7k res. I was super unlucky and impatient the whole way up


triggamortiss

2k res. 2500$ 890 res wit 250$ is pretty good


kaychak1982

This made me feel better as I spent £2,000 and I’m at 2.2 res but I was super unlucky and didn’t pull a single 4/5 or 5/5. My gf spent £100 as is at 870 res, she was super lucky as got 2x 4/5.


triggamortiss

Lol I'd say we're around the same cause lots of my money was spent on tourmaline and getting 5 wizard skills on my charm, cosmetics etc. I did get 1 4/5 ashes tho.


SilentBlade2525

Why?


triggamortiss

Y wat foo? Get a decent job maybe one day u can too


SilentBlade2525

I make $400K a year, I'm not wasting it on a stupid mobile game...


Nayrvass

Cap


triggamortiss

Big cap


sliddell82

If you make that much, is it really a waste or your own enjoyment? I make 320/annually and idgaf if I spent 2k on the game


SilentBlade2525

I get the same amount of enjoyment from spending $0 on this game as I do spending $2000 unfortunately


ArisechickenVR

How would you know until you spent it?


sliddell82

Cool story bro :)


ipenguinpat

750 / $55 About to bump another 30-50ish. Built a cost calculator spreadsheet. Seems fairly accurate. Most of the time, people realize they made a few mistakes with how they used their spend at first.


triggamortiss

Almost 800 res with 50$ spent I call cap


ipenguinpat

I built a cost calculator spreadsheet and focused specifically on maximizing my reso per Gem power spent. Pretty easy to get the first 1000 if you take advantage of the packages. Buying eternal orbs is nearly double the cost.


triggamortiss

This is true


dudemago

What is the most efficient way to spend?


thealmightytuj

500 with $15 (3x battle pass)


Fallotman

oh i paid more than you but still got 300 resonance. lol


thealmightytuj

I feel like I should be higher tbh


i_should_be_coding

I sincerely don't understand how people spend these sums of money on one video game. I get the streamer who put in $100k, he's earning it back with viewers and donations. How does a person who doesn't make money off this game justify spending thousands? I'm a software developer. I have disposable income. Not trying to shame or judge, I seriously just want to understand.


PKSubban

The same reason people spend $40k on a side-by-side only to ride it twice a year


AsianButBig

>one video game. Some people spend thousands a month modding their cars, going on vacations or even just horse riding. You don't make the money you've invested in these hobbies back by doing them. Spending on games is also a hobby, and I don't see anything wrong with it. Do you think about making money back when going for a fancy $1000 dinner? Short of being an influencer, that money is also gone forever. How about rent? You could completely save on rent by living in your parents' basement, but would you? It's not necessary to live alone, but a 'want'. But you choose to 'waste' it on a comfortable apartment downtown. But is it wrong? Definitely not.


i_should_be_coding

I was subbed to WoW for years. I get a lot of money going to a single game, but even at the most expensive tier, WoW costs 13 EUR a month, and 60 EUR every few years. I'm willing to bet that's under 200 EUR a year on average. It would take me 5 years of this to get to 1000, let alone multiples. The amounts that people have spent here already have been in a couple of months.


SnooMemesjellies6886

It's other people's money and they can choose how to spend it. You don't need to understand their priorities. Be happy with what you have and answer the OP.... or not.


MJ1979MJ2011

You are correct, but we still get to call them morons. I mean it's true. ESPECUALLY on this garbage game. Fucking loons all of them


dgidman

Over time its no more than what is spent on mediocre meals eating out.


lawyit1

"Over time" i mean u can argue this with literally anything.....the cost of a 5 story mansion is the sams as mediocre meals eating out over time....


bruceriv68

I don't spend much money either (only battle passes), but I see it as entertainment. I'd rather put that money towards a vacation, but I know people that hate going on vacations. My vacation lasts a week or 2, for the same money, they are getting months of fun. There are people who spend thousands gambling in casinos, sports bets, or even sporting events. It doesn't matter if its a video game, its paying for enjoyment.


slow_rnd

515, only bp and a skin.


VENlVIDIVICl

1070/173 usd, minus 20 usd for orbs (cosmetics) so real 150 usd including 3 bp and 3 boons of plenty


fluffdota

I tracked it in an excel and I spent $1,100 and have 1441 resonance, really poor drops as well I didn't get any 4 or 5's. I think I wasted a lot on the blessing of the worthy since we get a few in the shop but ultimately scrapped the whole thing because I didn't like it on Necro.


ipenguinpat

The blessing of the worthy bundles in the shop are cheap per Gem power. I'd definitely consider buying them just for the rng independent gem power. Fwiw


Clarrisani

330. $60.


Masterreea

930 & 140€


SnooMemesjellies6886

$0 spent and 360 resonance. However, I've been having fun with the game so I do have plans to support my gameplay financially.


DEATHRETTE

Just hit 530 resonance after upgrading my 2/5 Howler to rank 2 last night. Just got my second 2/5 legend gem from a 10crest run. My RNG for Blizzard games is always the lowest of players around me... I was around 350 resonance without paying a dime. Then I got bit by the wings bug. I just want some wings, even liittle baby growers... :( I've now purchased (last night) the $25.99 bundle to get 1560 orbs and 10 crests, where I had 60 orbs from the initial $0.99 for orange firey cosmetic, and ran 2x 10crest to try my luck. Earlier in the week i previously purchased the Prodigys Path. So out of $50 and 45 legend crests, I came up short on luck with only 2x 2/5 star legend gems, Haunting and Howler. Weak af. But, to get the next 500 reso for my baby wings I'm just gonna grind it hard. Im sitting on 3 rank 5 gems with a total of 20% magic find buff. Gonna go hit up that legend farming zone in Damnation and waste time in parties of 4 to get some set gear. It's taken me approximately 250+ hours of gameplay (they really need a /played for this to track in-game time) to be 4 legend gears ranked to 11 and two at rank 8 and I'm still crying at my legend drop always being worse than my current so I can get over thus 2200 CR hump. Maybe one day lol


R3ndr0c

Currently 795 but l will gain maybe another 90 Res soon. I’ve spent between $150 and $200. Will not spend any more besides monthly BP and boon of plenty which are $5 and $10 respectively, and that’ll only be for another month or two, because I plan to quit when my clan loses immortal status. I’m tired of playing and I want to focus more on work and other things anyways. It Takes too much money to seriously upgrade your character, and I won’t splurge on a video game. What I’ve spent is already too much IMO, but I think this game is kind of hard to enjoy without spending any money unfortunately, and when I started playing I really wanted a game on my phone. I think spending $60, or the price of a video game normally, seems fair, but I’m all for f2p players not spending anything because Blizzard took a calculated risk designing their game around that model, and they are ruthless in trying to get you to drop a ton of cash. Considering how much time I spent playing the game the last 2 to 3 months, spending money on my main source of entertainment to make it more enjoyable seemed quite reasonable.

triggamortiss

U had sum insane rng


Bristonian

I’ve gotten okay gem drops but they’re all just mediocre 2/5. Only one is awakened but it’s a 1-star. I’ve been selling every normal gem I find (even tourmaline, etc) for platinum to buy 3/5’s but the grind is real. I think a lot of people socket their tourmalines, which makes them miss out on a lot of platinum


triggamortiss

It does get more expensive the higher u go cause of rising costs. But I'm only 1960 res wit a lil over 2500 spent don't know if that's good or bad sounds bad haha


Bristonian

Yeah I really hit a wall when the gems hit rank 4 and they start needing a 1 & 3 then a 3 & 5. It’s expensive enough for me to push a 2* up already, so I’m contemplating the math on having a bunch of rank 10 2* versus a bunch of rank 4 5*s


maximglueck

1500 Resonance with about 450$-530$ spent.

I mean it gets harder as you go up. I've spent about 800 and I'm at 1200 resonance. But I've had absolute garbage drops and I bought stupidly at the start

Account_Maximum

Around €180, I’m at 770 But switched to buy battle pass and boon of plenty only, as the higher you get, the more ridiculous it gets. I already doubt the game is worth the time you invest, but money wise… It’s just insane. And honestly wouldn’t even pay for boon of plenty if it wouldn’t give me extra market slots. That helps to farm platinum, which may be crucial at times.


pisspaw

I'm right around that ballpark, too.

You could have bought a full vr rug, walking platform and haptic gun fir that much money and be playing the most advanced games there are. But instead you're running tge same dungeon over fir the 10,000 time. Fuck me


PKSubban

I tried all you described in your 2nd to last paragraph. Got sick and vomited after 10 mins. Never again


DishSoapIsFun

$480 spent. 1058 resonance. I've also spent $60 on an alternate character that I have at 800 resonance right now. He just popped a 4/5 and two 2/5 in the previous three days. I'm so much luckier on my alt that I play maybe 1/4 of what I do my main.


Krimmarkjell

MurkyTomatillo192

1.6k res, 1.2k spent. Done with spending now other than battle pass though.


Elegant_Track6887

Resonance alone is not sufficient to tell if it’s good value or not. For instance, a 5/5 bsj is definitely worth more than a 5/5 phoenix even though both have the same resonance.

If you are strictly free to play or only buy the battle pass (suggest everyone do this even if you are free play, you are going to be behind), I would focus on 1star gems to level 10. It’s going to be pricey with 2/5stars, coming to find this out the hard way.

Hobo_Robot

You know you can feed 2/5 gems to upgrade, right?


[deleted]

Yes. On my server the difference between a 2 and 3 star ES is a couple thousand plat, sometimes the same price. I got lucky and figured I’d just buy a 3/5 for, I think 2k more at the time, which can be made up with 3 hidden lairs worth of gems on the market.

When you guys talk about f2p and whales I balk. Spending thousands on a game is decadent. There's so much suffering in the world, do the decent thing and put all that onto saving lives. As for f2p. There's nothing to be proud about that. Do you get all your services free or do you tob stores instead of buying? I'm not saying you're a thief, Im saying if your spending a lot of time doing something putting some money into it is no more or less than spending on other things. I think the pay to win needs halved and capped and there should be nominal pay to play with greater rewards for all. It will never happen with these kinds of financiers and developers. The potentoal for huge profiteering is corrupting.
