Diablo IV's Early Access Open Beta has started today, bringing players back into the hell-torn world of Diablo to get a glimpse of what the full release will show in June. The beta though has not been without struggles, though, as long queue times and crashes have plagued the test.

All getting wiped come June 6 for official launch.
All together now: Stress, stress those servers.
Meanwhile, in D3 land... I've just finished unlocking the full season altar for the second time -= this time in hardcore mode, and just got my 4th class (Wiz, Monk, Necro,DH) to GR 120.
Seriously though this D3 season is better than any in living memory. You need to unlock the various seasonal buffs: some + power and some just QOL... like pets picking up and salvaging whites, blues, and yellows also DBs and rift progress orbs, no level requirement for gear, etc.
All of these require performing some focused task (e.g. crafting an ancient legendary hellfire amulet) that does a better job of disguising the grind.
If this is the last D3 season, they're going out with a big bang.

What is playable now is a solid foundation. But plenty of games these days launch with "a solid foundation" without anything on top to make it worth sticking with.
Yeah I think it will take a year after release for them to improve itemization and endgame enough to excite me. But I'm sure more casual ARPG players can enjoy it at launch.

too clean, the ambiance was not here.
and it has a little side "mobile mmo" i cant explain.
also, it seems to be configured to play with controler, not very keyboard friendly.
POE2, please, save the genre!
Mobile Game?!
I think you played so many mobile games that you..can't tell the difference anymore?
D4 is a very, very solid game. The ambiance is right there actually. The animation, the skills are amazing. I'm actually impressed about it. The sound is AWESOME, including the themes.
Not very keyboard friendly?! Yup..too much mobile game you had and..kinda forgot how to use keyboard and mouse lol.
Let's pray that the end game lives up to be amazing.

Blizzard Boss: Making gamers happy is not my concern, making money.. yes!
Did you mean to post this in a Lost Ark thread? Because it's all standard Diablo configurations as far back as I can remember.
It did not feel like a Diablo game. It just felt like an ARPG. That may be good or bad, depending on who is playing I suppose, but I did not get a nostalgic Diablo feeling when playing.

Yeah, I wasn't a huge fan of sorc in previous versions cause it usually comes down to blizzard meta, but I did come across a legendary that let me spawn an extra hydra and man that made that class hella fun to me. I essentially used that and with the extra skill slot thing, I used hydra in it so it'll spawn an extra hydra after using 300 mp and boy it was pretty good. That plus of course blizzard ontop, plus you can have your fire skills immobilize targets on occasion was like a playing necro to a small degree (since no permanent pet). All in all, the system seems to have some decent customization for at least a month or 2 which I feel is worth the price point, but to each their own. But I do say that before playing necro next week, so my mind may change after some hands on with it since that's the main reason I play Diablo games (I didn't even touch 3 until Necro came out in reaper of souls).
Not sure why people aren't answering you but "yes" Diablo 4 can be played "single player." It apparently offers and open world that you can explore with other players.

Yeah my Barb is one item short of full legendary gear.
I am 21 on my Sorc and I have 4 Legendaries only. RNG is RNG it seems !

I forgot the name of the currency you get from random events, but you can use that at a vendor to fish for legendaries for certain slots if you want (except rings and neck I think). Sad part is that uniques end up being better after a bit, but I think at 25 you get the legendary catalogue extraction thing like in D3 (there's a thing you can use to change a legendary into an aspect which I think is different).
