  • I don’t mind the paid cosmetics or the store at all. There is some really hilarious stuff in there… (ring a bell emote? :D )
    But I feel no urge to spend any money on that. As you said, I paid the full price as well and see no need for support (yet) as in PoE.

    By level 58 you should have plenty of transmogs unlocked, perhaps try a few similar named armor pieces to create a streamlined look and play a bit with the color palette.
    Sorry to say, but I do not like the druid cosmetics at all. Other classes have way cooler items in comparison.

    With seasons there will be more cosmetics to be unlocked with the pass/season journeys, so there is much to be unlocked over time.




  • Necro is fun, but do not expect it to be like in D2/D3. In general, the game is a bit slower paced and more challenging, depending on the classes/builds.

    PoE is far more complex when it comes to the skill tree and item crafting. So if you managed to get along in PoE, perhaps followed some guides, you’ll be fine in D4. If you like theory crafting and creating your own builds, D4 starts to get interesting with the paragon boards. If not, grab some guides from maxroll.gg or similar.

    Compared to D2:R there is no essential need to farm for uniques, which was sometimes driving me crazy. Some builds do really shine with uniques, but you’ll be fine without any.

    As of mtx, it’s not that bad… there is no need to purchase anything, and the unlockable visuals by salvaging drops are quite nice. In fact, at this time I do not think that mtx cosmetics are really worth it.

    In addition, you can find horses and horse visuals as random drops even in world tier 1. One of the coolest horses (imho) happens to be found in the Legion events.

    what I find annoying sometimes is that some quality of life features they developed in D3/D2, were not taken into account in D4. Why not take some of the things they learned over the years and put them into the game? (e.g. build saving, respec paragon all at once, gold/resource pickup pet, …)




  • I run HA OS and from my experience updating and installing add-ons is seamless. Creating backups and restoring (had to replace a corrupt SD Card a while ago) was also no issue.
    Add-ons I have installed

    • Advanced SSH Terminal
    • ESP Home
    • Home Assistant Google Drive Backup
    • VS Code Server
    • Maria DB

    HACS for a few integrations:

    • YT Music Player
    • Waste Collection Schedule

    nothing too fancy.

    I run a second Pi with an SSD for docker containers or native OS installs (gitea, drone-ci, pi-hole, etc.)
