Blizzard is considering adding clan/coop ONLY activities in the game
If Blizzard really is, then maybe that will help some players take the plunge and experience teamwork in a Diablo ARPG (a la Lost Ark) for the first time and they might like it.
As long as it’s optional side content who can fault them?
Spare a thought for the many players that want Raid-type content in this great new D4 world.
Spare a thought for the players that want insanely hard bosses with deep mechanics like FF14, and Lost Ark, that take a team to coordinately finely to bring down…not just bullet sponges.
Those hard bosses in Lost Ark are the most fun I’ve had in any video game- you make friends with strangers and suffer through it together and when you make it, you feel like they’re genuine friends, everyone cheering and high fiveing.
If you don’t want that in D4, then there are 158 cellars for you to solo.
That Diablo is not a pure solo game anymore is obvious. However in how far the multiplayer gets implemented is open for debate and ultimately up to Blizzard themselves.
Yeah i really hope not.If so it really needs to be its only game diablo online or whatever. If they creep that in, i will be disappointed.Sure it may be fun and ofc ppl will like it,but some of us i will just go back to other mmorpg’s that offer a fuller experience, becasue thats all those games ever where designed to be from the ground up. I really hope they just put resources into to make what they already have higher quality.
Because there IS a Diablo MMO already.
You want raids/clans/coop-only content etc.
By all means! I agree! You should have a game made for folks like you!
Let me introduce you to…
…Diablo Immortal. A full blown MMO. Just as advertised.
Now…
Spare a thought for many players that want challenging content that can test their builds. (MMO raids are too dumb down to do that. I think every1 knows that)
Spare a thought for many players cashed out 70+ USD for a game that advertised ALL content to be solo because it was “return to darkness and roots of Diablo”.
Spare a thought for those who want aRPG. Especially after a backlash of D:I
If you had so much fun in LA… Well, who’s stopping you from playing LA?
As someone from Bungie community once told me - Not every game has to be for you.
I’m about to wall of text on a different thread to something…adjacent you (were also part of) saying.
Having Blizzard spend money to develop content I should just ignore means less content that I don’t have to ignore if I don’t like it.
Make everything they add in seasons available right away in normal (except extreme % multiplier mechanics).
Make world bosses soloable - and not necessarily when you are 30 lvls over it (and an option to go into a solo instance of the map shard whenever you want).
And make raid bosses where you need a clan and 12 man groups but also use that exact fight scaled down as a solo boss with similar rewards (maybe in a different place).
I don’t see this as an issue, it sounds pretty cool that there will be more clan/group only content. I mean I play D4 for the multiplayer experience I want more multiplayer-friendly content to do. D4 is an ARPG with MMO-like features. Don’t get me wrong tho I’m not like hating on single player content, if everything in the game can be soloed then okay if not then that’s also okay with me. I just find it funny how people are asking for single player content in an MMO game. Don’t go into a vegan shop looking to eat steak, go to a steak shop to eat steak lol…
Before that you had to be social and make friends to do this content. I blame the dungeon finder for destroying the online community in general.
We went from “Hey man, do you want to run SFK today?” to clicking a button to join a dungeon and not having to interact at all. People treat it like its a solo experience with AI companions. And the few social interactions that you do have are usually negative, like “Why aren’t you doing more DPS in MY dungeon!?!?”
“You do want to find a clan and have content exclusively for that, that is your problem.”
See how that doesn’t work in a debate?
Also can’t is certainly a real problem, even if you seem unable to understand that.
Lack of social skills or an aversion to interact with players on that level will certainly stop someone from participating in group content and in World of Warcraft for example it resulted in only a fraction of the players actually playing the raid content. It is certainly worthy of a debate if we really want something like that again.
It never was. D2 was very popular on battle net or private servers. People love to play together and group up. Its natural for us, nobody wants to be truly alone. Diablo 2 was great with this as it had tcp-ip local group play, up to 8 people in one game and great game lobby. I had good memories from there. Back then on old battle net was lobby amazing as it was comfortable to chat there and make new friends. I remember even hours long discussions about game mechanics. Good old times of diablo
I hope for good clan and community features in d4. Better than in d3.
so much for people saying not to worry about it being a mmo.Man sick of ever game copying each other,the things d4 do different is what makes it great.I really hope they dont add this kind of stuff just make a diablo full mmorpg game instead please and charge subscription or whateever and leave us in peace with a arpg.
It’s done.
How is asking for all developed content to be available for everyone at the same time in some form or another? (Like not wanting to wait for 4 months for season to end to see a new zone.)
Also, all this in a game that has most of it’s success based on being a solo game and being marketed as solo with mmo-like but small hubs.
I didn’t say they should not make (some) clan content but not exclusive, not really.
You really don’t understand do you? This game is not MMO exclusive, at least not yet anyway. The game also evolved from a singleplayer franchise. What you are basically doing is trying to take the franchise away from the players that used to love it being single player (with a bit of multiplayer on top of it) and make it into what you want it to be. Without even knowing it you are exactly the same as the people you are commenting on. (except the reverse standpoint) Actually pretty funny now that I think about it.
I’m not though. I’m not going to sit and cry about them adding something I don’t want to do. Like a grown adult, if i dont like it, i just wont do it.
If I can’t for some reason, I can’t, I won’t cry about it and try to get it taken away from, or stop the production of it further when the vast majority of other people do like it or can do it… but yeah I’m the same… lol.
Is it too much to ask for one decent,modern arpg from diablo,if it is just reskin diablo 3 to looke like 4 and i will just play that instead XD,please do better than that but heck i will take it over diablo-mmo
