Will consider other offers but the key expires on September 3rd. If it isn't accepted soon, I'll redeem it myself.
I honestly hate asking for games, or anything for that matter - it feels wrong to me. Generally I try to solo through life, but times are tough right now and with gas being as high as it is and groceries, I need to be careful on spending. That being said, I recently purchased the Humble Bundle monthly for $15 just so I could play Diablo 4 (And SMT because I've never played one before and I loved the Persona series). But, this post is mainly about Diablo.
See, I never really expected to enjoy Diablo 4 as much as I am. I have a lot of hours already, and it's been all I've been playing for the past week lol. I have a barbarian leveled up to 60. Problem is, I may be approaching endgame and well, the game is getting tough. It seems all of the build guides to make a viable character don't exist in the base game, so I've been winging it and making bad decisions like well, someone that grew up in an era without easy internet access lol. But still, it's been a lot of fun! I can't help but imagine that the expansion would add much more to that fun, with new classes and maybe a new world and new mechanics? I'm not sure what all it adds honestly, but I'm sure it's a lot of changes, and I enjoy surprises. That being said, I really didn't experience everything the base game has to offer yet - There's still so much to do, and if I beat the main story, there will be even more stuff to do. But, I expect to hit a difficulty wall or content wall sooner than later. That's where the expansion will come in handy!
I also enjoy the fact that the game is pretty casual. I remain busy during the day so I like that I can just hop on Diablo 4 and just kill a few creatures and maybe they'll drop some decent loot, or do a quest, or dungeon. They're quick, so I never really feel at a disadvantage if I need to quit out early or something. I can play a lot longer after 8-9pm EST though, which I do!
The DLC is $40, and according to google, in order to gift someone a game on battle.net, you need to be friends with them for 3 days? I'm not sure if that's the case, but if it is, I hope you wouldn't mind. I don't really want to burden anyone, but I also don't want to rely on your kindness either. What I mean by that is, please don't spend $40 on me if you're going to put yourself in the same situation that I'm in. Money is tight for practically everyone at the moment and $40 can buy a couple of things to eat for a week or two. That's more important than any game.
Regardless, if you still want to gift this expansion, I would be forever grateful and I promise to play it forward when/if I can catch a break. You can be assured that I will probably be playing D4 for many years to come.
