Combining game modes into a progressive dungeon system

PC General Discussion

Why not combine the different game modes into to one.

Progress through levels. When you complete level 1, go to level 2, when you complete level 2, go to level 3 etc… Levels become progressively harder with harder mobs and more abilities. Have glyph xp stands at the end of each level or simply chose a glyph that recives xp when killing stuff. At the end of each level a boss spawns. Bosses drop masterworking mats. 1-30 drop obducite, 30-60 drop ingolith AND obducite, 60+ drop all three so you don’t have to go back to lower levels to farm the earlier mats. Bosses randomly drop mats to summon uber bosses. The threat system from helltide work the same way as now but inside this dungeon progression system. Uber bosses and tormented uber bosses appear at level 100+ but can also be summoned at their regular hideouts.

Suggestions for future:
Add runewords and white bases. Make the good bases RARE af.
Reduce rare(yellow) and legendary drop rates significantly.
Everything should be tradable. Imagine having a fully masterworked perfect rolled ga tradable :drooling_face:
Aspects should be a part of the charecter and not the item. This would make legendaries obsolete. Have aspects drop as a charm that can be consumed or something.
Bring back set items.

Please for the love of god remove the (ancient) from WT4.

  • They should combine nightmare dungeons and the pit into one. There’s hardly any difference. Nmds have area modifiers and the pit has better map layout and no annoying objectives.
  • I’m not a fan of current legendaries too. I’d actually remove this item type from the game so rares can be still good in endgame not insta salvage like in D3 and now in D4 again. They could still be imprinted and upgraded like in PoE or old D2 version.
  • I also thought about separating aspects from items but now after rework I think it’s fine. Now I’d like they rework paragon trees into smaller more interesting system like WoW or Cyberpunk trees. Get rid of this +10 stat nodes filling entire screen dumb PoE trend.

You got some interesting ideas but D3 fans will downvote as you expect. All they can say in terms of improvements is just making D4 into D3. I’m often considered a D2 fanboy when in truth I look at various games. In each one I like some of their aspects and dislike the others.
