Building a game from the ground up, it’s not as easy as you think.
Hundreds, if not thousands of gamers playing the same game…different platforms, different devices…
Compared to the first Diablo, this is an achievement.
If you can do it better, stop complaining and show everyone here how it’s done.
Please, I implore you. 
They built the game, they took a year to turn it into something people actually like. Then they broke it all down again and trashed it.
We paid $$$$ for this game, we absolutely have the right to complain about it.
Buy a snickers bar and now you own the company? Aside from this video game, do you pay for other things?
These posts can be from real people.
Hey if my favorite player strikes out I can say he had a poor at bat even though I couldn’t do better.
I have defended aspects of the game and I have criticized aspects of the game. I don’t like pointless whining but fair criticism can be good.
Interesting insight. So not all bots here, you believe?
No doubt it’s complex, and made more complicated by an increasingly fragmented hardware landscape. But this a bogus argument:
The reasonable standard should be: show proof that other projects have been able to do it better. Not the user.
If a pilot repeatedly crashes planes, you wouldn’t ask me to prove I can fly planes better. Same principle.
Not my job to do so, their competitors make better games with a more consumer friendly pay model.
They need to figure it out.
but it wasn’t built from ground up…
In fact that’s part of the problem, they didn’t use the latest D3 engine and then build ontop of it. They took elements of a prior engine and build on top of that for the new engine. Granted, they may have started the project when the D3 engine they used to build off was current. However, there were key improvements with certain systems that were not inherited.
Speaking of context, people misuse this word to invalidate other people experiences. Your post is a perfect example of this.
Bots no, paid operatives, yes.
Except D3 was actually fun, and this has had that stripped right out.
Hey Runningbull, ltns good to see you. I remember you from D3 quite a bit.
Hey, good to see you too!
Season 4 was soo good.
Then they changed so much
This is the most brain dead logic I’ve ever seen.
I’ll never be a leader of a country, guess that means I can’t criticize one?

When creating a product for sale to the public, it is no longer “buyer beware”…it is “seller be warned” due to the internet mostly.
Years ago if a company made/put out a bad product they had time to fix it before the “word of mouth” reached the masses and they went out of business or lost that brand.
UNDER promise, OVER deliver still stands ture
Here’s how its done: Put out a POLISHED, tested, RELIABLE product.
If this game was a car, it would be an instant “lemon”.
There you go, that’s how its done.
Many jobs are challenging, but professionals learn their craft and deliver.
If you buy a house someone built that has innumerable issues, are you not allowed to complain about the builder? Your argument is so asinine.
I don’t know how much net profit d4 has made blizz but not counting the expansion they’ve sold over a billion dollars worth of the base game and micro-transactions. If they are turning out those kind of numbers I expect a functioning game at launch. No excuses.
Hiring developers based on merit like they used to would be a big step in the right direction. Doesn’t matter how much ranch you put on it. A poo sandwich is still gonna taste like poo.
