8 People at GGG do More Than All D4 devs

Lol. I made this comparison yesterday.

The fact that resistances are broken should have been enough to delay the game. D4 realistically needed another 5 months in the oven.

Now for those that know dnd, imagine if bg3 launched and saving throws didn’t work lol. That would be a disgrace.

Its the same for D4. It is a disgrace that resistances dont work. Its also disgraceful how 2/5 classes are complete trash because of that patch.

I literally paid 80$ to be an alpha tester. Atleast with bg3 i get the deluxe edition upgrade free, and i only paid 39.99$ for bg3.

Just flag this as advertising, which it is.

As much as I like D4, it would be shameful of anyone to even come close to compare a PoE league to a D4 season in terms of content and mechanics

I honestly think the d4 team had their hands tied and poor leadership. PoE2 does look good. The systems look good. But, I think we will find that it lacks the innovation just like this game.

PoE seasons have always been interesting. They have been pumping out new stuff right along with d3. There is a lot of great ideas that I am sure the d4 team is looking at and has looked at. But, I think that Blizzard would benefit more by implementing tech that they already have in other games to make this game bigger and better. Right now, I think the game is lacking the coding to do it. But… I know blizzard can do it. Look at the size of just one WoW expansion. There is more world, more zones, move armor, more bag slots there than anything this game has. They can do it, but will the execs put the resources in to what we all know was a cash grab? I hope they do. I dont have many more years for the next diablo to be made.

PoE devs philosophy > D4 devs philosophy by any stretch of the imagination.

148

When microsoft takes over that might happen.

When devs can develop a game for purely enjoyment instead of time played you get a great game. Unfortunately activision wont allow that.

There is a reason why FFXIV passed wow as the top mmo.

Just look at that last patch. The only outcome of it was to extend play time, not player enjoyment.

149

Where the hell are you getting the information that 8 people work at GGG?? That is absurd.

Two sepoarate types of Games. BG3 is not an ARPG. Its a story poin tclick pause strat movie game. Compariing the two is like copmparing black and white

151

Im not comparing the games themselves, im comparing the games quality. Which D4 loses by a country mile.

Also resistances and saving throws are similar so it is a good example.

152

PoE devs = Chris Wilson

Diablo IV devs = An endless chain of execs up to Bobby Kotick who only care about stock price. You can see it in campfires. No one wants to take ownership, no one wants to step on the next person, or just say that is dumb. Fergusson was already kicked out of the campfire for obvious reasons.

They need to get a vision from someone that has a passion for diablo and run with that person. I don’t see it here.

But its not. Your trying to advetise on the D4 forums for BG3 lol. Everyone can see that. Then youll have one of your dummy haters buying cause they think its the same genre it is not. Then theyll be on BG3 forums hating there lol.

154

Yea it is…

Im comparing a games mechanic working.

In one game a core mechanic doesn’t even function on a basic level. How can you not see that?

As i said if a basic feature of the core games, saving throws, didn’t work that would be disgraceful. As it is disgraceful that D4 resistances do not work.

155

I think the main reason Chris Wilson is one of the best devs in gaming history is because he is also a real gamer. I bet that most of D4 devs don’t even play their own game

Hes also a liar and has been caught many times by the math. He is not a good person his last Vision almost destoryed the game.

Oh i know the deal the party that practices that has not changed since the 1860s like they claim. Same goal different tactics.

158

Yes the vision is a long living meme but TBH that doesn’t invalidate the great work that he has built

159

No but that made it sound like hes a good guy he is not. Games great though for a certain type of player, I love it

160

In fairness, the period where they only had 8-12 people on PoE1 was the period with the most clunker leagues. (Lake, Crucible)

161

I don’t want to be that guy but jesus this is a white knighting topic.

Fixed it for you for clarification and illumination.
