Overall I enjoy playing D4 but I hit a wall when I reach the endgame, mainly because in my opinion the game lacks competitive content.
Do you guys feel the same way? If so, what content would you like to see added to the game?
Personally, I would love to have cosmetics and mounts as rare drops, maybe even as rare as mythical uniques.
Also I think it’s time to revamp PVP because it’s the saddest part of the game at the moment.
I know that Blizzard added some Competitive content a few months back with the Gauntlet but I believe that not really hit the mark… That’s what happens when a feature is built without considering players’ feedback. My understanding is that players were asking for a leaderboard to compete in reaching max level (and maybe some other goals?).

No. “Competitive” in modern gaming means no quality content because sweatlords will play anything 24/7 as long as they can get imaginary bragging rights.
There’s WoW and Fortnite for “competitive” gamers.

how exactly wow competits game? u cant do anything in wow solo u need to join a raid and pray they not ninja yor loot
E-sports PvP, e-sports dungeons, even the raid is e-sports with the RWF.
who the fk cares about e sports pvp is trash there dungeons its just a preraid loot raids easy if u join guild but why i need to join a guild i like to play solo like milion others only 1 thing fun is clasic wow HC lvlin journey thats all
Its lacking enjoyable repetative content, thats it biggest problem, how do you keep people playing thats the real question and i’m really confident they don’t have a clue.
D2 was Ladder.
loot itemisation.
Loot hunt, it was a hack and slash looter after all.
Active PvP (these guys are ones who kept it alive all these years and in looter you need them because they are the buyers generally.
classes and diversity of builds.
Trade.
D4 has no real ladder.
loot is terrible (so basic you might think amatuer game dev created it).
No PvP.
Classes are not as bad as people make out imo, i think thye are one of the stronger aspects of the game, more build diversty at end game be nice, instead of X build can only do X content etc etc.
D4 has no trade any game that makes you leave to outside source to trade is lazy game design, its 2024 and no AH is joke.

I agree with you. But you should remember that diablo 2 was terrible if you didn’t bot or used JSP for trading or even buy items online. PVP needs a revamp in diablo 4 indeed and alot more stuff.
Wow that is a lot of nonsensical word vomit.

Played D2 from patch 07 to patch 1.10 never botted, didnt use D2jsp all that crap came later (the botting didnt), did dupe once with Charsi dupefest in 08. Got banned too.
Yeah well, and how many BiS items did you have? I played it alot ( and botted ) and never did I ever find 6/40 javelins etc. I played it since launch. Items were just too way damn rare.

I always ended up with a highend mid to highend finished char.
they should just add random battle grounds like in wow and diablo immortal (awful game, but its BG’s were fun).
Gauntlet is good enough for being a competitive game-mode.
My only issue with it is that you cant really run a Gauntlet build in the end-game content and other way around as well.
Without a armory it makes it a big struggle to change from your gauntlet build to your end-game build because they are vastly different.
Coming up with a good build for gauntlet along with figuiring out the most optimal route and at what times to take shrines for you or your group is fun and you feel the competitive aspect of it when you climb the leaderboards, imo.
There are cosmetics from the Gauntlet, you need to reach top 100 to get it, its currently 3 different cosmetics you can only get this way. (Mount trophys)
Sidenote, top 10 in the Gauntlet gets placed in “Hall of the Ancients” and your name will be visible in the game for everyone, forever.
There is also other cosmetics that are somewhat rare that are drops only, one of the rarest is probably the Butchers mount armor, i have 1800h+ in the game and i still have not recieved it, along with the mount armor from the world boss Ashava.
I have pretty much got everything else though.
PVP is fun, also requires a PVP build and same problems here without a armory as i previously mentioned above.
But PVP in terms of balance will always be wonky, i think they can add more PVP modes though like a arena, or 2v2/4v4 etc but i dont think they focus much resources on PVP…
The Gauntlet is so boring though. Better if they make The Pit the competive mode with ladder etc.
They shouldn’t add competitive PvP. Meta builds in this game do 50-100x more damage than off-meta. Rob is literally doing ∞ damage on his barbillionaire. Adding PvP would just result in free rewards for meta builds and people who bot and use RMT to get 4GA mythics.

You know, they could just balance the classes also so not a spec does 1000x more damage then others, it shouldn’t be that hard.
small numbers hey wouldnt that have been nice, they wont add pvp crap it needed to be organic and well you said it yourself the classes dont allow for it.
You literally asked for competitive content and now you are dismissing them as trash.
Lol

D4 announcement guys said they’d never do balances with PVP in mind. Not that thats 100% they’ll stick to that, of course.
Diablo PVP has never really been “supported,” it’s just always sort of existed. D4 is the most we’ve gotten, with dedicated zones, and items, but it really amounts to being able to kill monsters to get ugly cosmetices while trying not to get ganked by easy mode barbs.
Maybe by D6 there will be actual PVP content lol
