Just tell them that if/when they get hooked on Diablo, Adventure Mode lets them focus on fast leveling and greater challenge rather than walking through a narrative. Based on a friend’s recent experience, I believe the game won’t even let a first-timer select Adventure Mode. I also wouldn’t advise anyone go for a Hardcore character on their first rodeo.Ī newbie may also have questions about the difference between Story Mode and Adventure Mode.

Save the Seasonal adventure for after you’ve played the whole story mode. The game gives a one-line explanation about the seasons, but if you’re introducing somebody with zero Diablo knowledge, make sure they begin with a normal character. “What’s a Seasonal Hero and should I play one?”Ī new player will immediately be asked if they want to create a normal character or a Seasonal one. It’ll say in the game’s description that it includes the Reaper of Souls and Rise of the Necromancer. It’s the version called the Eternal Collection. Make sure that your newbie buys the complete game with all of that additional content. Those of us who have been with Diablo 3 since the beginning may have forgotten that the game didn’t launch with Act V, and there was nary a Necromancer to be found. Here is my advice on how to take care of your Diablo 3 newbie, with some of their biggest questions you might not think to answer. And when you’ve been playing a game for eight years, you may have forgotten some of the most critical questions that a beginner will have. There’s always something fun to do, and it’s possible to have a real conversation without getting constantly interrupted by shot-calling.īut even though Diablo 3 has been out for more than eight years, there are still many people out there who have not experienced the joy and satisfaction of smashing demon-shaped loot piñatas with their friends. It’s one of the best titles to play with people you want to stay in touch with over distance.

When friends ask me for online game recommendations, Diablo 3 is always my first suggestion.
