Whats a streamer?
If Diablo 3 did something to equalize build diversity instead of trying to funnel everyone into sets, as well as put more challenge (and I donât mean just MOAR NUMBARS, I mean actually challenging play. Special abilities on mobs, maybe resists, monsters using tactics instead of justâŚmobbing at us. Put more reasons to play the other 99% into the main part of the game instead of âmandatoryâ materials to try to get better gear. Give reasons to explore the maps, perhaps a random special boss has a chance to appear somewhere in the world.
But that would take effort, and itâs so much easier to try to funnel as many players as possible into a few different set builds and throw us into a time trial maze with a loot pinata at the end. If the players are complaining, just buff things and throw them back into the Greater Ratrace. This is why not many players stick with D3 any more, itâs not an ARPG. Itâs an isomentric arcade HackânâSlash.
Because PoE is a better game lol. D3 is only fun until you find all your items and enter the GR hamsterwheel.
Not making any sense as usual.
PoE has more content, more stuff to do compared to D3. I wouldnât say its better content, its just that D3 has less of it.
Paragon. The current system, as Quinn explained in his d4 video, burnt him out and caused him not to want to play the game like he used to. Iâd imagine the same for Alkaizer.
PoE fanboys detected.
Because Diablo 3 is truly a failure game.
If you look back at the days in Diablo 2, many people played it every day for many years. Atleast, I did. Maybe a few weeks with Diablo 3, then I stopped. Started with Diablo 2 again, itâs so fun!
Why do you lied? You are just an Lv4 Demon Hunter from your profile. I guess that lying is what D2 fans good at.
And many people still playing D3. You can see the leaderboard itself. Their paragon level is increasing every single day.
Why should I lie? I have started many times from the scratch and what do you know. Paragon level sucks, one of the worse thing in Diablo 3. Anyway, if they had made a Diablo 2 remasterd, I guess many of Diablo 3 players would have went back too Diablo 2 because itâs way much better. Diablo 3 is a failure, a big failure. Blizzard North did a better job making games. Now itâs ruined because they do not listen to their fans.
PS: Diablo D1 and D2 fans know better than a freaking WoW fan and a kid who canât understand how games should be. Go play Diablo 1 and 2 then you can see whatâs wrong with Diablo 3.
You are lying because you donât play D3. I can see your character at your profile. An level 4 Demon Hunter. So much for âplaying D3 for a weekâ claim. You guys really good at lying. Shame on you.
Why should D3 players want to go back to D2 remastered when they can play D2 at this moment if they are interested? If people really like the game sincerely, graphic is the last thing that they care about.
Diablo 3 sold 39 million copies. If this is a failure, then what are those games that donât sell for 39 million copies in lifetime? A trash?
I played those games. I played D2 for 10 years before D3 was released, and I see nothing wrong with D3 at all, and I donât play WoW. It is better for you to stop assuming that people who like D3 have never played D2.
Because they like that game more?
Kinda obvious and anticlimactic, donât you think?
I did play it, didnât you read? I stopped because It is a failure. Didnât get the Diablo feelings like what I got in Diablo 1 and Diablo 2. I canât see the point of playing a game that is ruined. Why do you keep telling me âAn level 4 Demon Hunterâ Go back to WoW, you trolls are ruining everything. Weeks, months. Whatever, atleast I have played it and stopped because it sucks.
How so if Diablo 3 sold 39 million copies? Doesnât say itâs a good game because It sold many. Many people was exiting to play Diablo 3, but many people today also says itâs a failure. Where do you get 39 million copies?
Acording to Google: Diablo III set a new record for fastest- selling PC game selling over 3.5 million copies in the first 24 hours of its release, and was the best selling PC game of 2012, selling over 12 million copies during the year. It has sold , along with Reaper of Souls, 30 million copies across all platforms.
I just wonder, who is lying?
I mean⌠if you actually knew how to look at player profiles, you would see that this dude in particular had a level 70 character with every class besides a Barb which was 60. And his paragon is actually 400something
Hey, you are right. I didnât notice his career info. My bad.

A failure game doesnât sell 39 million. Fact.
Jurassic World is the 6th highest grossing movie of all time. Yet anyone with a brain will tell you that Jurassic Park is a far better movie. But much like D3, Jurassic world rode on the fame of the franchise and generated revenue because of it. Thereâs also the fact that Blizzard is far bigger today than they were 20 years ago. The market is far bigger aswell. Thatâs why your arguement sucks. Besides, nobody is claiming D3 wasnât a financial success. D3 isnât even a bad game. It just canât be compared to D2.
A better metric to look at is player retention. How many out of that number you pulled are still playing? Iâd be shocked if D3 had even 10% of those numbers still around. or even 5%. We donât know ofc because Blizzard stopped reporting when their numbers started to tank.
If both of us donât know the exact figure then can please ask your kins stop making assumption that there are more D2 players playing the game than D3 because in the end, we donât know anything about it to talk over it.
You can make logical assumptions. For instance, I am pretty damn sure there are more players playing D3 than there are playing D2. D2 is older, sold less, doesnât have a console market and hasnât aged well graphically (big deal for todays kids).
But that doesnât say anything about which game is better, so it is a useless arguement.
Tell that to those who made a claim that D3 is a failure because they think so.
A failure game riding on the coat-tails of itâs famous predecessors and the hype of a famous franchise can sell 39 million copies. A failure game will also be brutally called out by the players that feel itâs a failure, even those that bought the game.
The amount sold does not equal a quality product.
I donât want to insult or hurt anybody, but the sad truth is: D3 players are lying to themself everytime they log in and think they are playing a great game. They try to convince themselves that:
- âThis game has so much endgame activities!â
- âNice! I can try so many differents builds and blizzard donât have to think for me. Even if Leaderboards show us that everybody has the exact same build/gearâ
- âWow! My set gives me +10 000% dmg, now I crit for 423 099 231 234 233 billions of zillions damage ! Awesome, my character is so strong!â
- âThis game is so deep and hard! It took me 2 full days to finish it!â
- "Paragon System is SO GOOD! I am Paragon 4 000 now ! My time playing is really rewarding and I feel accomplished ! Now I can do GRIFT 150. Itâs nice ! Even if it feel exactly like the 149 other level of GRIFT that I did.
- âBest game ever! They sold millions of copie at lauch!â
I could have written a lot more⌠but Iâm gonna stop there. Of course, enjoying a game is a personnal opinion/feeling, but even if you like a game, doesnât make it an OVERALL great game. If you like to relax playing D3, repeting the exact same stuff every minute of it, itâs alright ! I have no problem with that. Have fun !
But, me (and a LOT of people) hope for a much better and complete game for D4. Maybe we wonât have it, maybe we will. The actual D4 design team is giving us a lot of hope and they show that they want feedback and they listen to them. At least, they canât do worst then Diablo 3. Oh wait⌠Diablo Immortal is coming soonâŚ
