Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition Player Mail and Nemesis Guide

Soon to be released on PS4, Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition is set to be great and terrible for those on your friends list. The game, originally released on current-gen console Xbox 360 amongst others, has been developed for next-gen PlayStation gamers, PS3 and Xbox users too with a range of new perks. Amidst the visual improvements and updates that Diablo 3 has undergone, there will be new social elements added to the game too. From gifts to demons, you’ll be able to send your friends items direct from your own game. Not only that, but a co-op game style will be available for friends who are nearby or far away, even with those who are much stronger or weaker. It is an exciting time to join the Diablo 3 gaming experience, particularly if you’re able to make the most of the latest additions to the game.

In Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition, players will be able to make use of Player Mail. During gameplay you can send players on your friends list gold, items or materials. Of course, you can do this from the kindness of your own heart, but it could help to earn favour with other players so they send you things in return. However to maximize the effectiveness of using Player Mail, it would be useful to know what level your friends are at and which class they’re playing as. This information can be difficult to attain though, particularly if you have many friends who are playing Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil too. The creators at Blizzard Entertainment have considered this and found a solution! The answer in Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition is a Player Gift. As you play through the game and come across a legendary, it is now possible to discover one for your friend too. The boxed legendary, which you can’t open, may already be designated to one of your friends specifically, giving them something that will benefit their game rather than the item they already have 10 of.

Alongside the gifts or surprise legendary items you’re going to send your friends in Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition, you’ll also find yourself sending them nightmares. That isn’t meant literally, but you will send tough opponents their way. In the course of Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition you will fall victim at the hand of enemies and die, as expected. However, on occasion, when you die the enemy that defeated you will level up and become a nemesis character. But rather than waste their time on you again, the nemesis will open a portal and direct themselves to one of your friends’ games. You won’t be able to control where the nemesis goes and your friend won’t be notified either. Therefore when your friend unsuspectingly launches their Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition game, they will be attacked.

The nemesis will reopen their portal in the game and take on your friend, regardless of your friend’s state of health or weapon quantity they will have to take down the nemesis. This proves to be potentially beneficial and frustrating for everyone involved. If your friend is able to overcome the nemesis you inadvertently sent them, both of your will win a reward for the efforts. However, if your friend follows in your loser footsteps, the nemesis will level up again and venture to one of your friend’s friends, resultantly continuing the nemesis system. Gaining random rewards is a large perk in Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil, but dying in the middle of your own level conquest and having to start again is guaranteed to aggravate many players.

While there is certainly a time and place for receiving mystery items and crazed nemeses, some players will simply want to play Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition. Wanting to promote a social element in their game, Blizzard Entertainment have also orchestrated opportunities for friends to help each other through Diablo 3 UEE. Even if you and a friend are levels apart, you can still play a co-op adventure together. When you join a friend’s game, for example, you will automatically be boosted up to their level if they are stronger than you. This way you’ll actually be able to help progress through the section of the game without constantly falling victim to mighty opponents. You may expect the experience to stop once the co-op does, but not in Diablo 3 UEE. The items you get while playing as an apprentice, as just described, will be level appropriate to your own game. So when you return to your Diablo 3 UEE save, you’ll be able to use the items you’ve attained rather than look at them in your inventory, hoping that one day you can use them.
