How has your experience been with Diablo Immortal so far?
Diablo Immortal has been available for a couple days now on mobile, and it's been almost a day since the PC beta started — although calling it "early access" is probably a better descriptor as its cross-platform implementation ensures your character isn't in danger of being wiped when it exits beta — which means many people have had a chance to give it a try, and I'm curious about those initial forays into mobile Sanctuary.
