We got a lot of new fancy announcements with patch 2.4.
I like that they don’t change the game completely and try to improve parts of the existing game.
But if they are really listening, why didn’t they announce the following things:
My point:
I don’t think that blizzard is really listening. They just do what they think gets the most feedback/clicks. They do what they did in their other games.
D2R is not their golden game, but a teststudy for D4
I agree with a lot of the changes you mentioned are things constantly talked about. However, they haven’t said any of those things aren’t coming in the next big patch. Hopefully, someone watches the stream and post a TL;Dr since it will likely contain info that wasn’t in the blog.
at patch 2.3 people opened threads complaining about no gameplay changes, since it was bugfixees only. at 2.4 they want to make those changes, now people complain about no bugfixes.
Honestly I’d trade everything for a good, working lobby that I can reliably find games easily with. Or at this point, just a bloody community post saying that they’re working on it, or describing exactly what kind of fixed lobby they’re working towards. The game can be as awesome as it wants, but if I have to fight the lobby to play the game, y’know what? I’ll go play something else that actually wants me to play it.
They listened to what the majority wanted. So they did listen to the playerbase. They cant fix everything but they still did alot. The balance changes is pretty big and could bring ppl back for ladder. Most ppl seem to be hyped about the balance changes aswell.
balance changes don’t bring people back for ladder. Ladder and maybe ladder only RWs bring people back for ladder. Balance changes should work as soon as they are released.
personally I’m enjoying controller play even with the slow and clunky inventory management …
when you use the joystick to move, you can control the speed of your stride and you move in the direction you have the joystick pointed. Basically no pathfinding. but you can force yourself to move in ways that are not possible with keyboard and mouse. the up side of the Analog Stick. You can dodge any kind of projectile with ease… kinda op for some AI^.^
Also all your hotkeys are right there when you need em. So it makes it easy to switch Auras as a Paladin or cast alternate spells.
and on top of that, there’s like an Auto-aim/ auto target system… kinda give and take with this one… as you can’t target your teleport for instance but you can spam spells like fireball with auto aim. Or shield dash with auto aim…
U dont know that. And ppl stated they looking forward to ladder cause of this. So u just saying no because u dont like it. Also they stated in the post that its only scratching the surface of whats coming. So maybe they fix the lobby etc aswell
Plenty of people are asking for changes, balance change and new runeword, so how is this not listening to playerbase? Just because they have not done what you requedr yet?
Okay buddy, you are stupid.
Learn to read and understand written text. Maybe we can discuss then.
Where did I say that I don’t like the balance changes?
Plenty more people are asking for the lobby to be fixed since start. Not a word about it yet. It’s not about “my” requests. I just gathered some of the most highlighted topics with least controversial wars.
Like the poll above suggests, they might be working on things from a poll half a year ago. Before D2R was released with that god awful lobby.
That’s still does not qualify as “not listening to player base” as you claim because patch 2.4 does do changes based on feedback from player base, just not your potion, period.
Seems like you don’t understand the difference between feedback from before release and feedback from the actual live state.
Also you are always assuming that those are “MY” changes, while I already told you that they are just the highlighted topics from the community.
So are you either to stupid to understand this or do you have to stick to it because your statements have no value beyond that assumption?
At least this makes for a strong argument to make a stash just for charms.
