PS5 here, was having licensing issues but I tried restoring licenses in which PSN had a connection error during which I've never seen. Just restarted the system, didn't work again, then waited and it worked fine. It's hit or miss.
On to killing wargs for the 4th time haha

Same. I bought this on my kid's account and now I can't play on my profile. I'm not paying $70 for a 2nd copy of a game to play with my kid unless I want to use split-screen.

The controller feature in Diablo 3 was to roll in whatever direction when you pressed the right stick. In Diablo 4 they've changed it to a dedicated button. Most of the "aiming" in Diablo games is automatic. You just attack the highlighted enemy based on the direction you're looking. The challenge comes from moving out of the way of bigger attacks, and knowing when to best use each skill and manage your cooldowns and energy. Every ARPG generally works like this on controller.
Maybe try a different ARPG if Diablo 4 would be your first, before you spend 70 dollars. They're a lot of fun, but if you go in expecting a dual-stick shooter, that's not quite what you'll be getting.
If you have PS Plus Extra, maybe try something like Warhammer Chaosbane. It's a budget ARPG that I played years ago. Maybe play an hour of that and then decide if you like the gameplay. It's VERY repetitive when it comes to content, though, so don't judge Diablo 4 from that game, but it will give you a good idea of how it feels to play an ARPG. I wouldn't keep playing it though.

Well, it doesn't look like that.... the game page at store mentioned PS Plus is just needed for online featues. For me, being able to play without the online components, even if a connection to the internet is necessary, is more a blessing than a curse.Well for PS5 you need PS Plus. On PC only Battlenet

question: when playing solo, how intrusive/unintrusive is the presence of other players?...

More annoying
But cool at times?

Towns are the only place you regularly see people. Out in the field you'll encounter a person occasionally but they're gone in a second. It's not like an MMO where people follow you or steal kills if that's what you're worried about.

Level 10. Love this game.
After getting to Kyoshavad, players started appearing quite a bit for me. Not just in the town. I started venturing south to grind a bit and folks were all over. But yeah, entirely unobtrusive from what I can tell. Everyone just goes on their merry way.
I'm getting steady 120fps, 4k ultra no DLSS. Pretty fantastic performance really. Every now and then I can sense a dip in frame rate, but it is rare.

Gettign great performance, often over 200 fps with 1440p, all settings maxed, DLSS off. I've got a 4090 but still I'm quite impressed with how good it looks and runs.
I had a bit of a queue for several minutes right after it went live, but then I left and came back later and went straight in. The launch is going pretty well in my opinion.

“Aww, it’s so...average,” she said to him in a cold brick of passion
I'll probably going to call it there so I can get it early start tomorrow, but I am loving my Barbarian so far.
Got to level 19 and have been mainly leaning into the bleed aspect of the character and I feel like an unstoppable Force at the moment. Just walking up to groups of enemies and casting Rend feels so satisfying. Half their health bar gets converted into bleed damage and then I just turn around and use death blow to finish them off and since death blow resets it's cool down if you kill them with it I am just a whirlwind of blood and gore in tightly packed corridors.
I was so convinced that I was going to like it that I went ahead and canceled my Street fighter order because I'm not sure when I'm going to get around to playing it so I think I might have saved myself a few bucks there cuz I can get it down the road.

I had massive rubberbanding. Then the game kicked me completely out. It forced a rescan and when i got back in no more rubberbanding.
I am getting screen tearing on an LG C2. It seems to be worse when i enable v-sync. Anyone else?

Insane input lag during combat (seems mostly okay out of combat - FPS is fine so it's not a local perf issue). Hitboxes are all over the place. Slow tedious combat with no sense of impact. If this was Steam I would have refunded for now. Hopefully they get some patches into it and it picks up after a few updates.

What are you playing on?

PC, 2070 Super, Just High settings, i9 9900K, SSD. Framerate is totally fine but it feels like the sim tickrate is way off. It's likely network related due to the general congestion but it definitely does not feel good. Maybe exacerbated by my class (Ranged Rogue)? It's possible a melee build would feel better under these conditions.
I've been playing my other ARPGs in offline mode so maybe I've got unrealistic expectations for online gameplay hah.

Has anyone ran into a couch co op situation where the host gets an award and the other player screen says they’ve already completed it?
I hosted a game with a necro, decided it was too busy for my tastes. I left the game while 2P was still in the world. I swapped with a level 1 Druid not too far into the prologue area. Right inside the first house. We complete a quest couch co op and it says my character already completed it? I’m gaining experience and so forth. It just says I’ve completed things and I don’t get the extra exp. Lol I’m only 3/4 exp from 2P. Im hoping this isn’t some weird glitch where I’m locked out of trophies or something where I don’t gain the progression on my character.
Probably need to just reboot and assess this tomorrow.
The prologue area should be a free for all in terms of swapping characters. No one wants to redo the thing other than see the cool cutscenes.

You will run into players all the time, and as you get higher levels quite often you will find they get to mobs before you can. Reminds me of WoW when a new expansion drops in a way. I'm.glad the dungeons are instanced because it gets frustrating when XSniPAKILLa×× and his mates are aoe spamming all the mobs in the open world

I've played Diablo since it first came out, but read that D3 had some controller features, so thought they would be in D4 as well
If I'm buying D4 I'll probably go with Rogue for snappy controller play.
Thanks for detailed info.

There's a rumor there's activation code inside the case, backed by Blizzard support's weird response (claiming that it's normal for games on consoles, even though online passes disappeared like 10 years ago and never returned). I hope it's not true and support is just talking garbage as usual.

Hm, the cover for the PS5 version only says 'Internet and PlayStation Plus Required for Online Multiplayer'. I think they would be obligated to tell about the single-use code as well (on the front cover).
