D4 has 0 innovative property’s it is basically World of Warcraft…World Bosses that don’t mean much, World events are basically world quests, Nightmare dungeons are basically Mythic plus , Classes have maybe 3 ways of specking, and the Rep grind that is tedious. If I wanted WoW I’d play that instead. If they add raids you might as well call this your WoW 2.0. Really hope seasons spice things a bit but at this rate I really doubt it.

The barb prologue in beta though… ewww. I’m hoping it’s actually a different experience.
Totally agreed. My toughs were same. Everything reminds me WoW more than a Diablo game 
D4 kinda looks like a Mobile WoW.

Basically a lot of WoW elements, but do all of those elements at about 5% effort

Mmh I don’t know. Feels more like a budget version of Lost Ark without having those fun classes, fun dungeons and bosses and not that entertaining style of exploration in terms of adventure book and stuff. Even the chaos portals offer more splatter action than a train of a half dungeon in D4.
There are of course some things that reminds me of WoW but more bc it is Blizzard. Not bc of the quality.

You forgot those long cooldowns most skills has, every pack we had to press like we run a set of skill rotations.

Diablo 4 is mm+ but alone lol
TL;DR
Both games were developed by the same company and he’s surprised that they share similarities. Mind blowing stuff.
D2 also made by same company but I don’t see much similarities sadly.
At least WoW has a decent mount system, group finder and chat. D4 is like WoW from wish

Wow has more to do … and social aspects to support the group content.
Diablo 4 , you hit 100, gear yourself, the what !?! Kill lvl 150 mobs til the cows come home ?
Is there challenging group content ?
There is one uber lillith fight , but that is all…
How are they gonna make another uber boss, theyll add more 1 shot mechanics to make it more challenging .
POE did their capstone dungeons better btw.
Played the hell out of Vanilla WoW through WOTLK and WoW Classic. I don’t see the similarities besides a few things like world bosses.
Shared open-world =/= mmo at least not necessarily.
Maybe it’s not D4 becoming more like an MMO but retail WoW no longer being an MMO and turning into a lobby game.
Being someone who isn’t even interested in WoW anymore, I guess in some ways it is similar but at least WoW provides a vast experience.
This game is a shallow joke of that. This game needs gameplay loop, not features.

Different development team. When David Brevik left Blizzard before D3 development and Blizzard put a team from WoW on Diablo, it was pretty well decided Diablo was going in the direction of WoW.
Don’t forget rogues with “Combo points” and “preperation” and stealth
You’re comparing a 20 year old game to a 3 week old game.
But hey, you tried.
