i stoped playing after 70, the grind was not worth the minor power upgrades and time sink. Its a game not a dam job and it stopped being fun.
I was already a little on the fence about having to remake my character for a new season, that style of gameplay is not something I was very enthusiastic about, but I thought I'd probably try it. However, after reading these notes my stance is, "nah, I'm good. You guys go have fun."
this is the biggest overreaction by any gaming community, maybe ever. the best part is people buying BG3 thinking it will be anything like D4. larian is about to get a massive influx of the most toxic people on the planet, people who live to just be mad at blizzard.
Man. Diablo 4 was far more enjoyable during the server slam than it is now or will be in season 1.Talk about ruining your game by overnerfing everything cus .001% of your population in the game did something. To the point where Barbarian is just unplayable.Bg3 cant get here fast enough lol.
Man some people here really needs to touch some grass. Thinking the patch was good and necessary it's a bit too much and there's a big difference betweeen balancing a game and destroying it ( you don't really need to be a dev to understand it ). If they are not going to undo at least the exp nerf people are seriously going to move on to other games. As a long time D2 and D3 player, I will be one of them.
I never saw in my life a company so desperately trying to chase away their remaining player baseI lost all interest playing the season, wish i could ask back the battlepass money
This is what happens when you develop a game for console and can't change or patch anything major before getting bunch of licences and when you don't have ptr to test what you are doing before the patch goes live. Season 1 is done, nothing can be done about it anymore, the most we can hope for is that they start listening and fixing problems for season 2 (and when I say start listening I don't mean to anyone, get targeted feedback from people who know what they are talking about).
if you buy 100 KFC meals, they'll let you change the game any way you want.
You do realize Diablo 3 had the worst pace game of all time and D2 had the best pace being that it still took a bit to gear to get to where it was at.D3 was overwhelmed with numbers and every build was over performing and anything that didn't have a legendary effect was bad.D2 every build had some type of option as long as the skill trees and rare gears aligned. Balancing out all damage right now is better to do it now than later when the new gears come in and more players exploit new bugs like the Hota bug.The slower we go at end game while they did buff the gear item scaling too i see, the better for the health of the game during season when they buff in the season.I say and see these notes as a win and new build opportunity as a theorycrafter from D2 on both the sorc and the Barb as my 2 main ranged and melee classes.
Tuning down damage on overpowered builds is fine - same with broken or unintented interactions between some skills and aspects. But in return they need to give the butchered classes like sorc and barb an alternative. What build would you even play on those classes in NM70+?I'm ok with uber lilith being a challenging fight, even with all the oneshot mechanics that aren't really fun to progress. But it's very clear that none of the devs has step a foot inside a NM100 dungeon. Nerfing defensive and buffing offensive aspects is a really bad choice for the "endgame". It's just not fun to play dodge simulator for an hour to get the NM100 achievement done. The whole patches purpose seems to slow down the game: lower XP gain, worse mob hp scaling for groups, lower dmg, lower uptime on unstoppable effects, lower defense, lower cooldown reduction, more sacred&ancient drops without lootfilter = more time spending in town to sort out 95% of the loot, ... at this point it's not an ARPG anymore. We asked for end game ... not to end the game.
