In the original Diablo, you could just barely make out your character.

I know some of you aren't very interested in the mass of Diablo news going around, and I have to apologize to you because lately Diablo 4 is nearly everything we're doing at Blizzard Watch.

Look, I'm not gonna lie: Every week(ish), there's a pretty good chance that, even among our fairly commonly minded staff, we get a wide array of games when I ask that age-old question, "What aRe yoU Playing?" This week, though?

What a beautiful day for a Queue!

Join us as we discuss if the impact of the Revival Catalyst to complete raid tier sets and a more aggressive LFR release schedule is enough for casual raiders, if trashless raids like Trial of the Crusader in the upcoming Wrath Classic Phase 3 are enjoyable, and how great it is to watch Summer Games Done Quick, but not so great to attempt speedruns yourself.

It's been a few days since Diablo 4 formally released, so I figured it's a good time to ask how we're doing with it so far.

Diablo 4 has added some new stats (and new ways to use old stats), including the defensive stat Fortify, which helps decrease incoming damage.

One thing we see a lot of in Diablo 4 as we slay our way through it is a variety of old familiar faces.

Me?

What have I been up to?

You know, just hanging out. Playing a little game. You probably won’t have heard of it.

When I've asked friends about which titles they're using in Diablo 4, there are two general sets of answers: the people who are taking this very seriously, and the people who are trying to craft the most ridiculous name for themselves they can.
