After 2 years away from Diablo 3, I decided to play Season 38, but I took a look at my Toons in Normal mode. I’m level 7k, all my favorite Toons have 99.9% of their Primal Gear, and Despair is level 150. I concluded that it doesn’t make sense for me to continue playing Seasons, since I finished the Journey in 4 hours, and in this Season I’m level 3700, just to gain 100 or 200 Paragorn levels at the end.
My question is: when will Blizzard make Diablo 3 playable in Normal mode? Every millisecond there’s a KB Nightmare interrupting the player’s action, vortex, and other strange modes that, for a 145++ rift, would be inappropriate, juggs, and other types of monster modes that don’t make sense. Do you have any plans to actually get players like me to play the game more frequently again, or will Diablo 3 really just be a season game?. I went two years without playing this game, and without visiting this forum, I see that nothing has changed.
Not likely to happen for a long time. We probably won’t see anything until after 2030, and that’s being modest.
It really depends on exactly what would make you want to play more often. This answer will vary from person to person. One person will have modest expectations while some others may have unrealistic expecatations.
You are right about normal mode being unpleasant to play after playing season. Without the Altar and a theme normal mode is not a good experience anymore especially for classes that aren’t well protected against CC effects.
I only play season to enjoy the extra power from the Altar and from the themes. No need to do the season journey or to amass huge amounts of paragon points for me.
Next season will be the fourth cube slot. Will this be enough to keep us interested in starting all over again?
no ty … i have no intrest at all in any new blizzards games. it is more than a decade, many players asked for simple changes in diablo3, and they keep this game for 10 years with no updat, or any good change.
so why i shoould spent money in a company like this.
You’re completely justified in feeling the way you do. If you are unsatisfied with a company, voting with your wallet like that is the best thing you can do.
But Blizzard have chosen to move on and focus mostly on D4. They couldn’t even spend a bit of extra effort putting the Altar and Fissures into non-season after saying it would be “permanent” before calling it a day with D3.
That was quite a few years ago now. There’s no point dwelling on it nor expecting them to keep working on this game.
I still play Diablo 2 after 25 years, and I still play Starcraft Brood War. What you said is totally and incomprehensibl
Why would a company stop improving a product and making its quality better? Blizzard itself admits that Diablo 3 has many players; just today in my clan, I saw 5 new Diablo 3 players. Your answer isn’t much different from when a WoW fan asked J. Allen Brack about the game’s old content and he replied: “You think you want it, but you don’t”.
I think it’s easy to understand. For the company D4 is now the main product to invest in, development wise - whether we like it or not. We know that there were plans for a D3 expansion but they were gutted, likely because of limitations in the core of the game and also because the successor to D3, D4, was in the making - something that the whole Diablo community was raving about. D4 might be a disappointment but it’s where the income is. (Like there is also income from Diablo Immortal and D2R).
