While Blizzard and developers/staff, whatever, are relying on our feedback, input, and testing. I think it should only be mutual that Blizzard should do the same for us. Currently as is, it sounds as if everybody is lost, primarily with the GoD nerf. Nobody knows the direction you are going with this. And while it’s said that the nerf is because of Missile Dampening itself. Almost everyone has stated this is the wrong direction in order to fix GoD and Hungering Arrow Devouring Arrow pierces.
Sadly, from what I’ve noticed anyway…PTR has been a dull experience for most. And looking at the feedback and bug forums, the input has been kinda lacking as well. Clearly there are less players playing the PTR, therefore less testing involved.
Help us out here Blizzard. You require our feedback. And we very much require your feedback as well. And while people are posting their bugs finds and feedback, there has been no replies from any Bliz/D3 staff regarding…anything.
There should definitely be some communication and back and forth about some of the ideas from the community etc. This isn’t the WoW development team, don’t leave us in the dust.
It would seem to be the most logical and sensible approach to a fix, as opposed to nerfing and gutting GoD6 (Hungering Arrow Devouring Arrow) as a whole…
Whats gonna happen if they nerf Hungering Arrow Shatter Shot as well? Since Shattering Arrow still pierces infinite through missile dampening, increasing it’s dmg, having a reverse effect of what the affix is supposed to do.
Yes…My thoughts exactly. As far as I’m aware…They navigate multiple forums from D3, WoW, Overwatch, HoTS, and whatever else…I’m assuming anyhow. But D3 is so dead that Blues don’t even navigate or provide any sort of feedback, for the most part, other than introducing themselves then never heard from again.
the feedback is simple, Blizzard does not care about D3 players.
what they actually do now with D3 is teaching his begginer devs, that’s all. D3 now is practice ground for devs, nothing else. do you see what they are doing? in a patch create a build znd next patch they destroy it…
After John Yang and Wyatt Cheng left D3, we got zero communication from devs. Hell, we don’t even know who are the current devs. So don’t expect any feedback from them, like we had in the past.
That’s how it’s almost always been. Blizzard is probably the single worst online gaming company at communicating with their players. I’ve defended Blizzard a lot on various forums, but it’s absolutely bizarre how bad their communication really is.
I main DH, and have only played DH, minus one season where I tried to play WW/Rend and ZBarb. I’ve had some slight interested in trying Necro but I don’t have the expansion for it, and I dont plan on throwing more money into D3 with the shtshow they have going on. Maybe I’ll finally give Wizard a try…But not likely.
GoD brought DH in line with other top builds…And while I realize this is only the beginning of PTR, so hopefully GoD6 will get buffed up again a bit. It just shows their ignorance on how they’re trying to fix a problem…With not even attempting to fix the actual problem.
They won’t give feedback because Diablo 3 is in maintenance mode and has been moved to their vintage games collection.
There are limited devs working on it due to the fact they only make money off of banned players re-buying the game.
We have to be happy they have any support for a 9 year old game at all, and the lack of theme content and really the follower rework is long overdue 2 set reworks that the wizard will be nerfed and the necro will go live as is God set has been nerfed right where they want it and WD Spirit barrage got another kick in the teeth just like the crusaders heaven’s fury, seems like it will mostly go live as is Wizard Fire birds will be nerfed into the ground just like akkhan invoker bomb build last ptr
I know what you mean but i don’t like how this is used as a one way explanation by some. Clearly the game is in some kind of maintenance but if so, how is it every season one class gets stronger and stronger and all the other classes weaker? How is it maintenance when necro got 2 completely new / reworked sets, 5-6 S-tier builds and massive item reworks like amulet, bracers, shoulders, gloves and new mechanics completely rewriting the class from the start for some builds in the course of the last 2 seasons (S21 & S22) ? And wd got basically zombie bears? That’s it… That’s literally the only thing wd got after the release of mundu and 2 consecutive nerfs. With an item that uses the same skin and icon as an already existing old mojo. They didn’t even bother designing it. The skin thing is trivial i admit but just mentioning it. Isn’t this laughable? Who can guarantee here that when they release D4, after the first dlc they won’t pull some similar tricks, working on the only class that earns them a few extra bucks?
What are the chances of actual feedback on this patch? I mean if you are going to nerf GOD that hard then maybe mention you might scale it back up once you get the data? If that’s not your intention then why destroy one of the most popular builds?
We have to remember that they are people too. Patch came out on Thursday, and they normally don’t work during the weekends unless something game breaking happens. This would mean if they had any plans to say something, it wouldn’t happen until the next business day.
This isn’t to say that they will actually say something. For whatever reason, they’re quiet around these boards and a little more active on places like reddit and twitter. They also have to filter through feedback from other social media outlets too. While this is the official forums, we occupy a small space in the overall scheme of things.
Going based on past PTR’s, we’ll see another round of patch notes sometime this week. We’ve done our parts here by providing loads of feedback. All we can do is wait and hope for the best.
looking back at the past PTR’s for seasons we have gotten plenty of feedback from the community managers, they even peeked in streams from time to time.
Sadly the people are not here anymore, and its new folks that just dont have the same tendency to speak up. I would love to see them be in some streams or actually reply to some of the posts regarding changes and such. I hope things can channge but i highly doubt it

Hey Mersinary, I’m posting on this topic to let you and others in here know that we’re reading feedback on these forums and other channels where our community is active. At this time, we have no comments to make. However, please keep sharing your experiences and constructive feedback on all things relevant to the PTR; this assists us in understanding your point-of-view greatly.
I’m really, really trying not to sound bitter or snarky here so I hope that comes through via text, but it’d be really illuminating for us as the players if Blizz would do us the same honour. Like Meteorblade said, there are a lot of confused, frustrated DH and WD fans in the forum right now who would really love some further clarification beyond what was posted in the patch notes about why our builds are being nerfed because right now, the general feeling I’m getting is that people don’t understand Blizzard’s point of view on these matters at all (particularly so for DHs, for whom the nerf the GoD build received seems especially harsh).
