lots of issues with diablo 4 at the moment. Regardless of fun detected nerfs, there are still many issues.
I am the only level 100 in any town, any world event, pretty much the only level 100 in pvp zone whenever I go, just makes it feel a lil dead in my opinion but I digress. My point is it is hard to find groups in town. Local chat is the only option if you aren’t in a discord community or have a group who plays regularly and will drop someone for you. Why is there no global chat? No communities? There is incentive to play with a group, but if you don’t already have a group or your group is busy with someone else, you have to play solo doing nightmares by yourself. Solo nightmare grinding is…not fun. You either have to play really bad dungeons to get more sigils, or salvage bad ones and craft more til you get a good dun. lots of rng.
When the game dropped, I had a blast. Yes I dumped a lot of time into it, around 170hrs in the first 1.5 weeks, now I’ve taken a break. But I don’t think that caused any burnout. What caused burnout was the endgame, or lack thereof. I am going to bring up the elite spawn rate nerf lol it feels like they took a slider where elite spawn rate was at 100 and turned that sucker down to 20. Some dungeons needed fixing, not nerfing, maugan’s works for example. They fixed maugans. No issues there. Champions demise is still the xp dungeon in groups, still decent xp but the lack of item drops is extremely irritating. Ruins of eridu and blind burrows got nuked too…why? Eridu was unironically probably the most fun I’ve had on this game, and they just ripped it away because the top 1% of players were doing what ARPG players do…farming xp and items efficiently…Why are you trying to make this game not feel like an ARPG?
Loot drop rates are laughable, gold rates are laughable, paragon board resetting needs to be cheaper OR FREE and allow us to reset the whole board by clicking 1 button please. Please please please, and do the same with the ability section. Kinda stupid to have to spend 14mil total gold to change your build and test out something else. Or give us more gold lol I’m at endgame and see small piles of 600 gold on the ground, the occasional 1000 and everything is super expensive. For example: I had 40 million gold. I decided to reroll a weapon because, surely I would get a decent roll in 40 million gold, I spent 3-4 hours amassing that fortune! I rerolled the weapon 10 times for an average 4 million per reroll. I was then broke without the roll that I was looking for. Annoying.
If I had to describe the Diablo IV Experience in its current state in one word…it would be that. Annoying.
(One more thing about the rerolling, why can we not see the available stats before rerolling like we could in diablo 3? It feels like blizz just wants to remove QOL features such as reset dungeon button and the resetting paragon 1 by 1, for the sole reason being to make the game more annoying)
Most of the endgame activity paired with all the nerfs we have seen, fun detected patches, etc just makes me and many others feel annoyed. I’m not gonna stop playing the game based off of the poor state of launch, but please take our feedback and make your next moves wisely. There is no need to cater to casual players who are brand new to ARPGs. No need to cater to nolife players, although many of us would like it <3, just make the game good. I’m also really upset seeing a lot of people defending blizzards poor choices because “its blizzard bro”. If you are okay with a game dev making bad decisions and act like its normal or expected, you end up with a bad game and that would be a shame if you ask me.
btw fix the mount system or get rid of it entirely lol ive seen better pathing in mobile games
hopefully they incentivize people to login daily. nvm let me not say that they will turn this into immortal
