Diablo 4’s standard edition will be available at the following release dates and times Diablo IV Gold : In summary, Diablo 4 goes live in all regions at the same time — syncing with midnight U.K. time. This means for those in the Americas, you can start playing from Thursday, while those in Asia will have to wait until the morning on the Friday. While you wait, be sure to read up on the best class in Diablo 4 for you. As with all launches, be ready for the possibility of queue times and server issues, especially with a larger influx of players for the full release. This is the cut and thrust of an online game — and Diablo 3 suffered more than most with this — but hopefully this year’s spell of betas, including the “Server Slam” which was designed to put the game’s online connectivity through its paces, will hopefully make a difference. At the end of the prologue in Diablo 4, you’ll come across a quest called “Rite of Passage” just as you’re attempting to enter Kyovashad — the capital city of the Fractured Peaks region — with Lorath. The guard will stop you when you try to go through the gate, and tell you that you first must inscribe your sin on a Holy Cedar Tablet and burn it away. Does your choice matter? Which one should you choose? Let’s talk about it in this Diablo 4 guide. COMPLETING THE ‘RITE OF PASSAGE’ QUEST During this quest, Lorath plays the role of grumpy old man and grumbles enough that he gets through without atoning. You, on the other hand, will need to at least pretend to show penitence in order to progress the story. Your Holy Cedar Tablet choice doesn’t matter — as far as we’ve been able to tell — and is just some flavor to show the zealous nature of the Cathedral of Light. It’s always possible Blizzard could do something with the choice later (since everyone has to do it at some point) but it’s unlikely as you can skip the campaign on cheap Diablo 4 Gold subsequent playthroughs, and therefore the Holy Cedar Tablet ceremony.
