Agreed. It genuinely seems like they had no playtesting data from the closed beta.
You’re right. And for them to fail soooooooooooo hard on the itemization front blows my mind when D2 had the greatest itemization ever used in any game ever created… and it’s their game! Lol…
They could have simply copy/pasted the itemization and it would have been perfect.
I’m just hoping they have learned their lesson. Clearly, this is the worst point of the game, because it’s still in beta. I don’t even know if season one can really count as true release since they are still so clueless about their own game, but we’ll see.
If one could refrain from knowing D4 even exists until a year after release, that’d be the best way to play.
