Feedback for the future of D4

Hello Blizzard and the community. I have a list of suggestions and feedback for the game. Some of these ideas are very obvious and have been shared by the greater community however this is a comprehensive list so I want to share new ideas as well. I will split this list into segments by content.

Dungeons.

Bring back roothold and vaults?

There should be more RNG encounter is dungeons to spice things up. We currently have the Butcher and Treasure goblins which is nice, however, what if we add Hellborn invasions similar to what we did in season 2 with blood seekers?

Enough of this seasonal selection of which dungeons can be made into Nightmare dungeons. From now on, all dungeons in the game should have sigil keys to be made into Nightmare dungeons every season, not just a selection of them.

Allow us to modify and juice the difficulty and rewards for nightmare dungeons. Right now nightmare dungeons are too easy and most players just skip over them because they offer very little reward and challenge.

Mercenaries.

Allow a way for players to scale mercenary damage. Mercenaries should at least scale their damage bases on torment difficulty and the player’s paragon level along with a secondary system of scaling.

Mercenary world events don’t drop enough pale marks. The rewards for doing them should be buffed so it can very very lucrative for the player to stop whatever they are doing and finish the event.

Please allow us to change the mount, mount armor and trophy of our mercenary directly from the stables to any transmog that the player isn’t using for themselves. 7 seasons into the game and most recurring player shave a large number of mount cosmetics that they don’t use, please allow us to give our mercenaries our mount transmogs so they are not ridding saddleless on some basic horse or cat mount. It would look way cooler.

Mercenary transmogs when?

How about more mercenaries added to the game in the next expansion?

How about expanding the mercenary skill tree/rapport? I feel like having only 4 points to spend in their trees feels underwhelming.

Stash tabs.

Clan stashes when?

More stash tabs? Just as a sigh of good grace, please add 4 or 6 new stash tabs into the game. One was promised during the expansion but we never got it, and frankly one being added is not enough.

Armory stash tabs are needed. these stash tabs need to be big enough to hold all the items of a barbarian for 5 different builds. Only items marked as a loadout item could be placed in this stash tab and whenever we change loadouts, the unequipped gear automatically gets put into this stash tab so we are not manually having to do it ourselves.

Hordes.

We need a rebalance of the Hordes. The banes that buff monster damage is mediocre. The current meta is hellborn or bust. Please add more bane/boons and buff the boons that nobody cares about and remove the ones that nobody wants like movement speed etc.

Treasure Goblins.

How about a random chance upon killing a treasure goblin he drops a portal upon entering it it takes the player to the vault/realm of greed as a new farmable and lucrative dungeon with its own design, enemies, and boss, aspect of greed.

Shrines

Please remove conduit shrine. Just remove it from the game.

Mythics

Some mythic need to be buffed, like melted heart of Selig and most of the weapon mythic. Also Tyrel’s might could use a buff.

Please allow us to deterministically craft our own mythic at the blacksmith using 4 sparks, but please don’t remove any of the other options like the rune option or the 2 spark RNG option.

Tree of whispers

Please allow grim favor turn in to stack. How come every time I get 10 whisper I have to immediately go back to the tree to turn them in or I miss out on getting more grim favors?

Please let there be ravens of the tree in all helltide sub zones.

Please allow for more whisper bounties to be available in the open world at a time. For example, for each region there is only ever one nightmare dungeon that gives whispers, why not allow for two or three at a time per region?

Please allow all the possible helltide whisper bounties to be available in all sub zone of that helltide at the same time. Currently it is RNG of which whisper bounties are available and only for one sub zone, not both (or three for Khejistan).

Crafting.

Please introduce a Kanai’s/Horadric cube-like crfating system into the game that allows us to upgrade basic gear into legendries and add greater affixes by fusing the items with a selected set of gems and runs for deterministic results with some RNG.

Masterworking is fine the way it is, don’t change it. Masterwokring doesn’t need to be dumbed down or made easy, however content to target farm matts like veiled crystals, obtucite and gold, in large numbers can be made available through delves, realm of greed, vaults, and heists.

There are some concerns about bricking with tempering. How about making it so that whenever the player rerolls the temper, it is ether a better roll on that temper or a completely different roll so that way players aren’t getting the same roll over and over gain. I have had moments when I temper an item and I get the same affix 5 times in a row. Too much RNG, allow for some safety net. why are scroll of restoration one use only per item?

Endgame.

Endgame needs a new meta progression system that isn’t a particular activity but a long lasting and worth while progression system.

Boss Ladder.

I have said this again and again, we need more bosses in the boss ladder. Why not add 6 more bosses, 4 normal bosses and each paired with the other to get matts to summon Bilial and Azmodan? Where is Malphas and Asteroth? We have all of these new activities in the game like the pit, undercity, dark citadel, and infernal hordes that can be used to farm new boss matts.

Please allow boss matts to stack to 99.

Ladder bosses need to have their health scaled up much higher than they are now especially in torment 4.

Lilith has no purpose in killing after getting the mount and spark. Perhaps looking into that?

If Diablo, Baal, or Mephisto ever come into the game they need to be farmable, difficult, rewarding to the highest degree, pinnacle and aspirational to the highest degree.

World bosses and legion events.

Both activities need to be made much Harder than they are now in the torment difficulties.

Both activities need to drop better rewards.

World boss timer should be reduced by an hour. World bosses still seldom appear. They should be more frequent.

Whenever one legion event ends, another count down for another legion event should begin. Most people don’t do legion events because they aren’t rewarding and they can’t be target framed because players mostly wait around forever by a camp fire wasting time. Also the timer should be shortened by like 3 minutes. And when a legion event is finished another timer for another event should immediately appear.

Gear rarities.

I think there should be more endgame viable gear rarities in the game, like set or cursed items. Also we should have a system to upgrade cheaper rarities into better rarities via crafting.

Game Balance.

The XP required to go from 1-60 should be increased by 60-100%.

The damage and health of enemies in Torment tiers should be much higher compared to the average player power level.

The difficulty and reward of specific content should be even more customizable by the players.

Social features.

Clan features when? Please allow clan leader to modify rank names and rank amounts like they can in WoW. Also please allow us to see how long ago that account last logged into the game even if they make themselves appear offline.

Also clan community events would be nice, like a seasonal and repeatable reputation track that all clan members contribute to and benefit from.

How about customizable clan hubs?

PvP revamp when? Battlegrounds? Arenas? Dueling? Diablo Moba RTS/ARPG hybrid game mode?

How about revamping the PvP vendors so that doing the fields of hared is viable way to farm gear in the endgame?

How about rebalancing PvP?

More coop dungeons would be nice in the next expansion.

Please add/bring back leaderboards in the form of a revamped and pinnacle gauntlet.

Global trading hub when?

We should have an SSF option in the player selection screen that forbids that character from having any shared stash or resources with other characters on that account (or clan stash), nor should that character be allowed to trade with any other players, but they have a slightly better drop rate of items. And that player will publicly be marked as SSF so if they get inspected and it shows all 3GA legendries and SSF everyone knows he earned that gear and didn’t trade it or do any illegal RMT.

Endgame activities.

Delves? Heists? these can be great ideas for gem, rune, and obtucite farming. If a kanai’s/horadic cube-like crafting system gets introduced then the demand for gems and runes will go up make endgame content that target farms these things in good amounts ever more valuable. - I also mentioned a realm of greed, that could be another place to farm these.

Tower defense mode?

An actual rogue like mode?

More dungeon types?

If we ever go back to Khanduras you know the den of evil and the black tower need to be NMDs right? and not just for the story either.

We need a new zone take over eventually, and it needs to be a great endgame farming spot and a Permanente edition to the game. Headhunts are great but they will be gone eventually so I would like to see another great place to farm whispers and why not obtucite as well? Why is there no obtucite farming in the open world?

Transmogs.

Please allow a search feature in the wardrobe.

Please allow all unlocked transmogs to be viewed, because the current build excludes the ones that are salvaged from the equipped item. Also for the same reason, it doesn’t allow us to you dies on such transmogs.

Please add more pets.

Wolf and or bear mounts?

Please add cosmetic dies for all black, gold, silver, bronze, turquoise and Pink.

Mercenary skins when?

Please allow armory to save ensembles.

Please increase the number of ensemble loadouts.

How about a Blizzard add in the app store that lets us see all of our cosmetics on our phones when we log into the app using our battle.net IDs? Other games have this.

Sound and Graphics.

How about making the graphics better in the next expansion and getting rid of PS4 support?

How about adding better, faster, harder music to the game whenever we do fast pace activities like helltides, and inferno hordes. Right now doing the inferno hordes and helltides sounds boring because there is no strong music what-so-ever to match the fast pace combat.

QoL.

Loot filter please, it can be optional and customizable. Many players will be happy and it doesn’t hurt the game adding one it but it hurts not having one.

Please allow fragrances to stack higher than 20. Why not 99? I said earlier that boss matts should stack higher as well.

Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestions, that was a nice write-up. But please dont get your hopes up.
Devs keep gaslighting the active part of the community and fail to even fix the obvious bugs.
So for your sake and because you love the game, keep your expectations low. Because, even so, you’ll probably still be disappointed by the devs.

Blizzard: “too long, didn’t read. anyway, we hope y’all excited for some new goblin events, and new features like kanai’s cube, sets, and set dungeons coming soon in our latest expansion! preorder now to gain Tyriel’s wings and Lea’s farts in a jar.”

This this is so emphatically detailed that I it would take dozens of seasonal updates an multiple expansions to see most of it and I doubt ever all of it, however the ideas are out there, and the point isn’t to get exactly what I want but to inspire conversation and ideas in hopes we get some of these ideas.

That being said, many of the ideas listed on here are not endemically my own but are inspired by other members of the community who voiced the same or similar ideas and those ideas will likely see more attention than the niche ones on this list.

Also whichever ideas are low hanging fruits, obvious, widely spoken about, and easy to implement likely will see the light of day sooner than most.
