Since I had some time to kill recently I decided to give D4 another go while at the same time checking what's up with the new season but naturally I need to play hardcore to make it a bit more entertaining. Where every fight can lead to death and a death means it's game over for that character.
At the same time I couldn't just go with the easy difficulty as that'd be "lame", so I started off with the higher difficulty which also gets you 75% extra experience and gold. This would be more fun I thought cause I'd level up faster, however, I noticed that in one of the towns you could increase that difficulty even further to give you 125% exp and then 175% or so, either way, I learn the hard way why doing so in hardcore may not be the best idea.
No mic in this gameplay, having some issues with my headset lately, whenever I try to switch to it my whole pc starts lagging and being weird until I restart, even affects my other sound sources but the headset and mic just won't turn on for some reason. Until I figure that out (uninstalling and re-installing all the drivers did nothing), I'll probably just be posting without commentary for some time forward.
Forfeiting part of the post rewards to @hivegc due autovotes and this being without commentary thus lower effort.
