Is everything below level 80 throwaway content?

[tukkek]

Late 70s and finally mobs don't all just get one-hit KOed. Is all the game content below level 80-ish literally just face-rolling through trash-mobs?

I thought Diablo 4 was casual but even act bosses go down at least twice as fast in this game (often much, much faster).

Dear people who are about to reply "dude it's just the campaign-leveling-tutorial": please consider saying instead "yes, I agree with you, 70-80% of the game content is garbage".

Sounds like the part of the game you personally like the best is the endgame.

Try "sounds like 70-80% of the game is incredibly poorly balanced" maybe?

It's nice when you have a build that works well. I'm almost certain you're using one of those very powerful build you can find online.

I think the campaign is balanced around players who are just trying to figure things out for themselves. Like, it's not a stressful experience, it's exactly what an action RPG should be. Just mindlessly destroying mobs and getting loot and looking good while doing so.

Anyway. Diablo 4 is trash.

Nope. SSF HC, not looking anything up and face-rolling through dozens of hours of content.

How could I be showing-off if there is no skill involved in playing the game? Just wanted to know if that was everyone else's experience, which the answered post lets me know it is.

Yes pretty much.

The game does not get remotely challenging until you begin to push corruption in empowered monos, which is typically around level 80.

There's a couple of bosses in campaign and also standard monos that might give weaker builds or weaker gear a little bit of a struggle, but other than that cakewalk to level 80. Always has been.

Yeah yeah the game is so boring there is 200k player on it. And the game have sold 1 million before launch day.
D4 doesn't have 200k player and he is on 4 other support than PC.

200,000 players giving the post-launch game a Miked rating in the 50s-percent. Pretty sure the game being boring and brain-dead easy for dozens of hours has something to do with it.

I don't want to feed the two trolls on this thread but I hope they bring back masochist mode.

No, the fact the servers have not been working well and no one can play the game due to long load times is the reason for the reviews. The game itself is absolutely outstanding and the best ARPG right now.

Getting to level 80 (where the real fun begins) doesn't take that long in LE, so the lack of challenge till then is fine. It's to give you ample chance to experiment with your build without the stress of being killed all the time.

Health on hit makes the game very easy

That's a big cope. Plenty of people playing offline and complaining about the game too.

[s8an]

ugh I was kinda afraid of this.... does it at least present a good challenge at 80+?

[カミナ]

I hate the mentality that the whole start of the game is a "tutorial" people that think this need to realize that isn't a GOOD thing, that means the game is designed poorly.

Id prefer some challenge and thought required for the campaign instead of it being completely braindead until Lagom.
