I wasn't going to play Diablo 4 this season. I played at the start of last season, the Season of Loot, and I absolutely loved that season. Got to level 100, got to some endgame content, woo. I finished the season quite satisfied with how I had spent my time.
This new season is cutting it close to the new World of Warcraft expansion, and I'm fresh off the back of a Path of Exile run which I have officially burnt myself out on... and Last Epoch... a whole heap of ARPGs all in a row.
But @pusen wrote a thing extolling the virtues of the new Diablo 4 season... and I couldn't help myself. I downloaded it, made yet another sorceress, and hopped into the game.
Normally I go FIERY GOODNESS with my magic... but this time around I figured I'd do something different. In PoE I just had a blast with an ice/lightning mish-mash, so why not do that again but in this?
Before I started actually playing though, I had a look around the menu.
Thanks to the last two seasons I played and finished the battle pass, I had enough Silver in my shop account to buy another battle pass for this season without spending a cent of real money! Woo.
I also now have a pet who runs around behind me and picks up currency. Huzzah! All the gold is mine!
So! Lightning and ice mish-mash!
I felt uncoordinated as hell. I reached level 25ish, unlocked my main abilities and ultimate. And it just felt whack, unnatural, not right.
So I went pure frost, and meteor for when things are vulnerable. I'll probably change that. I got a unique helm that gave me 4 points in Meteor for free, so that's just what it is for now. We'll see how it progresses!
With my new frosty playstyle, I obviously needed a new frosty transmog.
And it was time to go on a rampage and freeze and shatter everything! Muahaha!
And before I knew it I had reached level 50, completed the first proper dungeon that would enable me to continue on to the next level of difficulty... and called it for the day.
Honestly, I'm not overly fussed with this. It's more a time-waster than anything else whilst I await the new World of Warcraft expansion. But I'm going to continue through it and see what happens. At least finish the entire battle pass and get all the goodies.
NEED ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THE GOODIES!
Until next time! 🔥😊😈
