Does anyone at blizzard have any originality?

They literally built an expansion with the SAME concepts as d3, for $60-$80. Blizzard has turned to crap and Microsoft is probably regretting buying Activision.

POE2 cannot come out fast enough.

Pits = GRs with torment capping
Paragon Points = D3 paragon point system
Citadels = Weekly challenge rifts with a twist
Mercenaries = feel underwhelming and worse than D3 where you could equip gear and actually benefit from merc having farming equipment
Rune = lets be real, they are not runewords. They are more like glorified d3 mythic gems that just empower your character.

EVERYTHING WAS NERFED. Outside of the new class, every other class just plain sucks. With a 4 month season that resets 100%, why the would you make it this hard for people to get gear and/or try out different classes and builds. The old days of non-season d2 are over, get over it. Grinding for gear for years only worked in d2 because you kept your loot without resets.

  • You can run over 100 tormented bosses and not have a single mythic drop
  • getting the right GA items are harder than ever to find because less loot drops, baking playing a variety of viable builds within a season near impossible.
  • Unless your playing the new class, good luck with end game progression

And I play WAY more than the average player and still struggling to build a top tier character of any class.

Not to mention, they still have the f* CONDUIT pylon in the game. You hit the pylon and get insta nerfed, can’t even kill ANYTHING on T4 with it. Just take it out of the game. The fact this pylon is still in the game just proves that no one on the blizzard team actually plays the game.

I agree with conduit. This shrine and all shrines should be downright amazing and more rare. Conduit should turn u into an automatic wrecking ball you dont even have to click anything. It just auto attacks everything in sight and destroys.

Agree with some points here that D4 needs to take some risks and start coming up with more new ideas.

Nope All Those Guys Left! Maybe Like Happened With D3 Someday D4 will be worth playing until then tho, POE2 cannot come out fast enough.

Yes!!!
Oh wait let us check our answer with some of the other responses first… -Blizzard. :hamster: :popcorn:

Dont sleep on Titan Quest 2. Titan Quest 1 was rock solid. I wish Torchlight 3 wasnt so god awful and Torchlight Infinite wasnt so massively pet P2W. I also miss Dungeon Seige series.

The irony is, last season I built a sorc that was literally a walking conduit shrine. I had chain lightning arcing to enemies 5+ times and I had orbs swirling around the entire battle field. It was a pretty sight.

I did have fun with my chain lightning / spear hybrid axial conduit guy named AxialRose

Give us a separate Solo offline mode so that we can have modders make the game fun again lol.

Separate meaning you can’t bring an offline character into online seasons, for obvious reasons.

I liked Dungeon Siege, but when i got to Dungeon Siege 4 it wasn’t even close to the original.

I disagree. There are tons of risks from Blizzard and new ideas that have been brought into Season 6. Did you already forget it’s a new 2.0 engine? There are runes, a new class, new skills, new difficulties levels, and a new Paragon board. They rushed so much they couldn’t finish a stable version in time.

If a single new class is the only expectation out of a full game expansion that costs $80; you don’t live in reality and need to get off your knees.

Every other idea was pretty much stolen from past Diablo games.

Agree 4 was weird. Really liked first 3.

Sorry… what? You mean Dungeon Siege 3 right?

Maybe it was 3 but i could have sworn it was 4, a very campy toned down version with no customization.

Poe 2 looked good for a bit, then they started putting soulsborne ideas in it and turned me off immediately

I’ll stick to Poe 1, d4 and le

yep, there’s no Dungeon Siege 4 so far… but it can be a good project :slight_smile:
I liked the progress system of the first Dungeon Siege, the more you use skill, the more you progress in that skill. A bit like Skyrim, it’s a good system.

Blizz is damned if they do damned if they don’t. People want D2 but not D3 but D3 the sequel oh but not like that etc…

Dungeon Siege 3 was pretty bad as well😒Almost as bad as D4
