I play this game since it was released and i have to say that this game becomes worse and worse in every new patch by far.
Paragon
This is actually a useless mechanic just to make the game infinite grinding with no reason at all. You don’t get new gear, you don’t explore new areas, you just grind like a stupid to get your paragon higher for no reason.
Seasons
I don’t see any point of playing a season. I personally play season only to get extra stash tabs. Other than that, i don’t really care about “season buffs”, it is pointless. If there was not extra stash tab and pet rewards on seasons, no one would play it for the buffs, because it is just pointless playing the same game, the same way and you also have to grind again about 2-3k paragons when you already have it in non season.
Items
The are so many items in this game and most of them are useless items that no one is using because there is no reason of using them. For example, two handed weapons are useless unless you cube them, otherwise there is no reason to equip a two handed weapon. You only see legendaries raining from the sky like crazy and you have to get about 100 of them to find a usefull one. The worse part was the release the ancient items and now we have an even more worse, the primals. Instead of creating new items to the game to make more build combinations viable and interesting, they just buffed the same old items so you have to grind again and again from the start because you had the best gear but now it’s useless cause you need ancients and primals.
Builds
There are so many build combinations that you can try especially with lod and grandeur set combinations, but as far as i remember in every patch there are only 1-2 of them viable per class and this really makes the game boring. You start playing a class, spending about 200 hours on that class and in the end you realise that if you don’t use the meta leaderboard build you can only play t16 bounties.
Classes
Every class is supposed to have it’s own role in a game like this obviously. Although the only thing matters is which class blizzard decides to buff in every patch. They buff 3 classes for 20000 damage, while other classes have still 4000 damage buff. They don’t care they just force you to play the meta classes if you don’t like to stuck in t16.
Sadly in every season i play this game no more that one month and then i quit til the next patch, because i get boring at the point there is no more progression in this game. It is really ridiculous that in less than a month you get to the point that there is no progression unless you like grinding gr’s 24/7 just for paragon levels.
We need more game modes for end game. And more limited time special events like Darkenting of tristram. People these days wants to constantly feed their mind with contents, we see this in society where people are on social media almost all day every day, we constantly look for “new”.
It is not “new content” if they just balance the game and when they buff 3 classes, they have to buff all of them instead. This is obvious to me. Give me one reason why they buff 3 classes only and other classes have still 10000 less damage buff? This makes no sense at all and yes makes the game boring. Most of class sets need a rework at the moment just to follow the current game’s state. They just buff 1 set per class and they say “ok play this set this season”… next patch they will buff another one and say the same. All these years after seasons started i see the same and the same. Really pissing me off because i don’t understand why they just buff a set with 2000 damage and they can’t buff the others with the same ammount. I really don’t understand this kind of logic.
I am aware that some builds just lacks damage or toughness to contribute in a 4 man/solo push. There was a blue post recently from Mathew that they are looking at all sets again and looking to balance them, we may be looking at a big patch for next season. Only time will tell i guess.
I would not waiting for you to tell me if i wanted to play another game. I can do it myself too. The only thing devs doing is make the game even worse every patch because i never saw balance in this game. They just add some numbers on your set damage and you think they doing something about the game. If you think that it is old game and they are not supposed to make changes, then remove all paragon levels and never release a patch for this game again. I am sure most of you gonna quit the game after this because more paragon = more noobs in this game.
Join the game and ask people that actually playing the game what happens inside. Here in forums is the easy way to be smart kiddos. The only difference is that most people don’t like to say that on forums as me that i am silly already knowing what happens every time in forums abused by fanatic fanboys who can’t accept the sadly truth about their loved game. Have fun.
I played since 2012 and it’s hard to keep a game fresh for that many years.
I can agree upon it is more of a grind fest now and it can be hard to make new stuff. Hence why they continued on with a Diablo 4, rather than trying to recreate something to the base of this game.
But I have to say, this game have brought me countless of hours of entertainment. It quickly fell into a repetitive mode, but then again it is a HackNslash game.
People have different opinions, but if you only come along just to either wanting people to agree with you or namecalling, I highly suggest finding another place for it.
I still enjoy this game and if I could play atm. I would every day.
This game offered me lots of entertainment too. I do like this game and that’s why i am here. If i didn’t like the game, it would be a waste of time for me to type al these in a forum. I am not here to make people agree with me. I am just allergic to fanatic fanboys who can’t see the sadly truth and persist that nothing is wrong with the game.
Well, nobody knows if those people, I won’t be quoting you on this one, actually got that opinion about the game or not.
For some, this is a perfect game, for others they settle with it.
I got my own opinions and I wished for a tutorial for each class, a socalled starting area, where you learned more lore about them and how they started being powerful and so forth.
And bigger areas/maps, more end game content. But at the same time. A game almost 8 years old is hard to make better/fresh. Hence why they’ve started on Diablo 4. And so far, it looks rather great imo.
After so many years, I have settled as well and taking it for what it is. A grindy HackNSlash, where I can tune out everything else and just mindlessly grind away and hopefully get some much needed loot for progression.
And when seasons come around I really like starting fresh, leveling up slow and get that feeling of “yeah the loot I needed dropped!”.
If people disagree or don’t share the same opinions or even just sit here stating “this is the best game ever!”, well they can have those opinions
And would like to add: people still play D2, Tetris or whatever have you. Those games ( if played long enough ), like everything else becomes tedious. Boring even.
I like Diablo genre, takes me back to when me and my brother played. Nowadays I use it for fun, keeping my minds off of things. And waiting for me able to play Diablo 4 when it comes out.
Because the D3 team is probably much smaller than it was originally. Many developers have been hired/moved to D4. Set balancing, etc takes time. They’re focusing on working on a couple of classes a season. This is a good thing. They really nailed Barbs, Monks, and Crusaders this season.
D3 is in the hands of the Classic Games team. The entire main Diablo development team is working on D4. The Classic Games has many things to do simultaneusly and can put only finite resources in to D3. They’ve made it clear that they’ll concentrate on a couple classes at the time.
Which better in the long run, trying to balance all classes simultaneusly and create new stuff OR concentrate on a couple classes at the time and bring overall balance gradually?
