One dev left on balancing D3 according to Quin

Derp derp hey guys I met this guy at blizzcon yeah he said this yeah derp. Gotta love streamers. Must be a slow day.

Thanks, I edited the title.

Doesnt matter. 1, 2, 8, 10 as long the guy responsible is competent one. It will take much longer if less but the job will be done accordingly.

Why waste even a single dev’s time on trying to balance numbers in a game where the end-game is just endless scaling numbers?

Have a contest where a bunch of grad students set up neural nets that you feed grift result data and they attempt to spit out numbers that create parity between the sets. Best one gets $1k and you can use this to adjust the set numbers every season.

The new meta will be trying to trick the AI into miscalculating balance for your favorite set next season.

What are you on about? Jailer, waller, wormhole, frozen, fear, etc… All these are various forms of stuns. D3 has some of the smoothest combat of any ARPG available. In fact as returning player the combat is really all this game has currently. There is no depth so it doesn’t keep people around long on average but it’s smooth and fun for a couple dozen hours per season.

Not only does one person sound right, it’s most likely an intern. You enjoying D3 despite its many flaws doesn’t make it a marvel of game design that had both thought and passion behind it…
