Diablo IV: Kyovashad to Margrave

My Diablo IV Barbarian is running through a snowy landscape. Lorath Nath is running along behind her.

In the previous video, my Barbarian met Lorath Nath. The two of them headed for Kyovashad together, fighting demons along the way. Kyovashad is much larger than Nevesk.

Diablo IV: Nevesk

This is my very first video of Diablo IV! It doesn’t play on a Mac, so I purchased the game on Xbox. To make this video, I used a device called AVerMedia. It lets me record my gameplay and use my computer monitor to see what I’m doing. (Note: I use an LG monitor).

Diablo IV Server Slam Clips

A group of players killed Ashava the Pestilent, who is lying on the ground, dead. A box next to the creature says "Completed: World Boss Challenge".

The Diablo IV Server Slam was fun! The most exciting part for me was fighting Ashava the Pestilent with a random group of (approximately) eight or nine other players. The screenshot above shows that our group managed to kill Ashava. The reward for doing so will appear in Diablo IV after it launches.

Thoughts About the Diablo IV Server Slam

A Barbarian is wearing shiny armor, and an animal skin across her back. She carries several weapons.

The Diablo IV Server Slam started on May 12. It was an unexpected occurrence, as most of us thought that the Open Beta would be the last of the betas before Diablo IV was released. As before, I made notes about my experiences in the Server Slam on Mastodon. (There are no spoilers here.)

Diablo IV Open Beta Clips

A Barbarian is in the center of this image. She has killed several enemies that tried to attack her. Off to the side is a large pile of bones and rubble, which the Barbarian needs to destroy.

The Diablo IV Open Beta does not run on a Mac (iOS) computer. Thankfully, I have an Xbox | S that enabled me to play during the Open Beta. Xbox | S only allows for clips that are – at most – three minutes long.

I decided to put together a video of some (non-spoiler) clips of my Barbarian and my Necromancer.

Thoughts About The Diablo IV Open Beta

My Barbarian stands in front of a crypt that has a skeletal looking person lying on it. The wall behind the person shows figure who is holding a red shelf and wearing a helmet.

I was lucky enough to get into the Diablo IV Open Beta. My initial experience with the Open Beta was frustrating because my Xbox | S thought I was trying to get into the Closed Beta (which had already ended). This was eventually worked out.

Thoughts About The Diablo IV Closed Beta

A cloaked figure walks on a path, holding a stick. There is snow on the ground on either side of the path. Barren trees surround the landscape. Two corpses are hanging from one of the trees. Fog shrouds the moon that is glowing in the sky. This is from the Diablo IV website (where you can purchase the game).

The above image was one of many on the Diablo IV official website, where you can buy the game. I’m not certain that I saw this specific image while in the Closed Beta. I spent hours playing it on my Xbox|S.

I decided to start adding my thoughts and (non spoiler) comments about it on my Mastodon account.

Diablo IV: By Three They Come

Diablo IV takes place many years after the events in the Diablo III: Reaper of Souls expansion. Millions have been slaughtered. Some people (who are part demon and part angel) are still there – trying to survive. It is only a matter of time before an opportunistic and powerful being steps in to take control of it.

Diablo IV: By Three They Come was released at BlizzCon 2019. It provides an intense, and terrifying, look at what to expect in Diablo IV. (At the time I am writing this blog post, Diablo IV has not yet been released.)
