I bought D2R for the PC today and got it setup in steam by adding it as a non steam game. I am using a PS5 controller plugged into my PC. I played it once and without changing any settings, it gave me the PS5 icons in game. However, in every other boot, I'm getting the xbox icons. Any idea how to change the icons back to the playstation icons or set the playstation icons as "default" as they are my preferred icons.

I understand that the genre is mostly about build optimization and looting and vaporizing maps full of trash mobs without much challenge... at least, that's what I'm reading and watching... but I'm not interested in any of that.

I like playing through game campaigns, the story, and having a challenge while I play the game to its conclusion.

I'm attracted to Diablo because of the setting, graphics, combat mechanics, and a bit of nostalgia. Should I give d2r, 3, or 4 a go? Or are the games really not worth the time and money unless you enjoy the grindy optimization mechanism?

LOOT 4 SALE

Grew up playing this game since its launch. I've 5 full accounts of elite gear. Including many perm '08 items. Some hybrid runewords. Eth Rep. Rares. Absolutely perfect runewords.

I'm in the process of buying a home. ONLY reason I'm selling.

I'm curious. What is the best platform to sell my accounts?

...permed '08 Valk included. Definitely 1 of the last remaining. Legit. Self found. Will clash with any available to prove.

Appreciate any information the community can offer.

What little bit of interest intry to hold onto is getting destroyed by this horrendeous lag. I have turned my graphics all down to the bare minimum, and everything else that would gatekeep me from playing.

Which makes me assume that blizzard just cant manage their servers correctly. Anyone else have this problem for ps5?

It's late, and this has been on my mind for a while.

When wandering the map, helping people and being a nuisance to evil, the world around us is in ruins. I get that the Diablo world seems to be perpetually just after some great fall, like a Dark Ages. Could it be possible in future games to rebuild the world a bit once you've finished the campaign?

For example, I've got a fuckton of gold. Can I pay villagers and provide supplies to build some permanent structures, maybe a paved road or two? Scosglen could get a roof or two for their perpetual rain. Clean away the dead livestock from some of the farms. A jobs and infrastructure program ultimately funded by the monsters who messed up the world in the first place.

I get that this would prevent a lot of random encounters, but theoretically this could just push them further from towns into the "unsettled" spots. Then periodically a pack of orcs or whatever raids a town and you need to stop them.

I just bought Diablo 2 Resurrected (black friday sale YAY!), but I know the multiplayer, very few people will play so I can't trade for cool gears and have to do it on my own. But that takes way too much time. Is there trainers or MODS in which I can use to massively boost my magic find or find gear? I see a lot of these available for other games where people don't care no more and they just want to goof around and mess around with the game, nothing competitive so no one cares.

Like I remember my times playing multiplayer and having TONS of MF and still never finding one single SOJ I think. And once in a rare while finding one high rune, I survived by trading but single player mode, I can't do any of that so I want to just get the items I want and enjoy the game.

As title says, obviously main purpose is to get renown. However, i feel like playing on Torment 2 with 160 paragon now. Doing side quests really doesnt reward you at all.

Like i spent maybe 3 hours side questing and doing my renown and during that time i got so little exp, gold and barely found anything at all.

Do you feel like they should make it so that it scales and actually gives you rewards aside from renown?

Hello

Lately been really into playing Diablo 1 port (Devilution) on Miyoo Mini Plus device running Onion OS.

I received the rune bomb from the farmer and each time I try to use it in the designated area to enter the ‘hive’, it doesn’t generate properly. The tiles get all scrambled and my character can’t enter the hive due to not being able to physically walk to it due to the tiles getting all glitchy.

Tried googling but nothing really helpful…

My boyfriend (based in Ireland) mentioned that he wants to get diablo 4, his birthday is coming up and I wanted to get it for him instead. I have no idea how to go about it. He uses an Asus Rog strix (im 90% positive, idk if that's relevant). Should I just go on the website and buy it? How do I gift it.

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thnx 🙏

Haven't played Diablo and am looking for the best recommendation for starting out. They are both currently on sale prime evil collection is $20 while Diablo 4 is about $46. They seem like fun I just can't decide

Hi, so I'm completly new to the game

I made my first character, played through the intro and cinematics, reached level 7 after getting to first town

Then I realised I'll make a new character to test it, see different abilities and skills. I created it only to see it starts in the first town I reached with a completly different story and npcs I did not meet on my first character. I am absolutely confused. Why can't I play through the first cinematics ( with the wolf ) and quests with corrupted villagers on my new character?

My character is a barbarian level 25 on hardcore season at the moment I’ve lost a couple hardcore characters on the past so is there any tips to get stronger and should I stay on a certain difficulty for a while ???

Hello guys! Well, I know that it’s a very off-topic and probably odd question. I was introduced to the Diablo universe several months ago when I bought the fourth installment, which became one of the greatest games I have ever played and it has got even better with the Vessel Of Hatred DLC. But since I bought Diablo IV, I have got really curious about one thing: did the series (the Diablo games overall) ever spark some sort of controversy among religious people because of its many and detailed references to satanism? I mean, they are just a dark fantasy games that probably any celebrity out there, no matter how religious they are, wouldn’t mind about such games and waste their time criticizing it, I guess. But was there really any public figure that criticized the game because of its content? And do you know anyone who did feel offended or avoided to play it for religious reasons?

Most sigils sort by region and name as you'd expect, but a bunch of them just seem to ignore the sorting and sit at the top in no real order. Am I missing something?

I’ve been recently getting an itch to play an aRPG. I tried the demo for torchlight 2 and really enjoyed it, but I’ve always had my eye on Diablo. Which is a good one to start with and do they run well on switch?

I just had a thought that borders on conspiracy. I was drafting a long post about how Diablo IV has hurt me (again, lol) when something sinister crossed my mind. Why did Blizzard release Diablo Immortal? Mobile gaming is a goldmine for profit, but when you look at Diablo IV, what if it wasn't just a standalone project? What if it was designed using data and insights gathered from Diablo Immortal? What if every aspect of Diablo IV was strategically crafted to maximize profit, built on the knowledge of millions of players already spending money on mobile?

This realization hit me hard while playing Diablo IV. At launch, it felt like a polished experience worth every penny. But as I played more, particularly in the mid-to-late stages, my purchases felt different—less about genuine value, more about chasing that dopamine hit. It became almost addictive. I nearly caved and bought a skin in Season 6 before I caught myself. The game is so clearly engineered to keep players hooked and spending, even with the battle pass that offers next to nothing for $15. This is monetization at its most transparent: designed for endless spending, not for delivering meaningful content.

And then there’s the core game itself. You drop $70-$100 on Diablo IV, and what do you get? A dead wasteland. I gave the game a fresh look after a year and a half, and I can't believe how little has been added. The crashing and rubberbanding are as bad, if not worse, than when it launched.

So, do you think Diablo IV and, likely, most Blizzard/Activision games are being designed with a mobile game philosophy in mind? It’s troubling to think they’re heading down this path. The approach seems to be “lowest common denominator”—how much game can be crammed in for how much money? It’s not visionary, nor is it driven by passionate developers designing a game they would want to play. It’s about squeezing out as much cash as possible with the least effort. And that’s a concerning trajectory for gaming as a whole.

I believe this spells disaster for mega gaming companies taking this approach. As AI and game development tools continue to improve, indie developers will only carve out more market share for themselves. Unless we’re all Pavlov’s dogs, conditioned to accept and even welcome this kind of manipulation, I can’t see how this model holds up. Maybe I’m just too old and too stubborn to accept the programming, but I refuse to be part of it.

Edit: Dang after your responses, it took me way too long to come to this conclusion.

I have Advanced Tooltip Compare and /information checked in options-gameplay. I even unchecked and saved before checking and saving them again. Still, I can't compare anything. It happened yesterday and I am lost here. Nothing except showing the equipment itself when I'm hovering. What gives?

I've wanted to get into Diablo as a series for a little while now as I've liked most games from blizzard. And have too many hours on Destiny and a lot of destiny friends play Diablo. But which one?

I see a lot of people say the Diablo 2 remaster? And I'd like to get one while it's on sale on battle net. Any recommendations?

Hello, I've been playing Diablo Hellfire recently and I've been wondering about items I've been getting with armor percentage bonuses. I don't really get how they work. For example, I got a "Glorious Cap of Harmony" with 4 armor but the bonus stat is +80% armor. Currently, without any kind of headgear on, my character is AC 72. With the cap on it's 79.

So the bonus stat is an extra 80% of the base 4, which is 3.2, rounded down, bringing the armor bonus to 7? Why not just say the cap has 7 armor and be done with it? Seems a bit silly unless there is something I'm missing. Thanks.

Hey everyone! Long time Path of Exile fan here. Diablo 2: Resurrected is on sale atm and I was thinking of giving it a try. I've noticed pretty bad user reviews on Metacritic though and I'm worried that it's a bad remaster and that I should rather give the original a shot or maybe some other Diablo game altogether. Any advice? Any advice for someone coming from PoE?

EDIT: I bought the game! Thanks a lot to everyone for their helpful comments!

So I have been playing a crap ton recently and love the game, I’m in the middle of act 2, maybe almost done with it. I’m a barbarian level 20, and I rly wanna use a necromancer, but if I make a necromancer I can finish the story in it, what should I do? Should I just skip the story like on my necromancer and focus playing that build? Should I finish the story on my barbarian and then start using my necromancer? What should I do
