Game suggestions i.e. removing gauntlet, leaderboards, converting gems, and so on

PC General Discussion

To start, I have played Diablo 4 since the launch and played all previous seasons in entirety. I have not purchased expansion yet and it is a tossup between that and WOW War Within again. All in all, Blizzard is doing better in a lot of areas. Listed in no particular order are some of my comments and possible suggestions to keep players wanting to come back. (I have played WOW since 2004, so I am well versed in MMO’s and ARPG’s).

  • First, the Gauntlet is useless and needs to be done away with. Best thing Blizzard could do is get rid of the Gauntlet and implement a leaderboard of sorts to the PIT and NMs (both) to give people something to achieve. Diablo 3 had leaderboards, which made the game interesting in so many ways. You could see the level dungeon, speed, and build used to farm the Greater Rift at that time. The best benefit here is END game, where a player can see the persons ranked higher than you and working on achieving that score. Diablo 4 could do the same.
  • Secondly, I wish the developers would bring to the D4 game is the ability to convert gems that you do not use into gems you do, especially since it is so tough to get Royal gems now. Farming for Royal gems is so mind numbingly tedious it sucks the joy out of the game for a lot of people.
  • Moving on now, my 3 comment is about item level gear. Seeing how you can start using 925 ilvl at level 55 it feels to me like levelling to 100 is a waste of time with the only thing you pick up is paragons and possible ’ GA’s ’ on weapons. Uber bosses and Tormented bosses especially should have an item level higher than 925 to make people want to farm them more. I do like the idea of not having to reset the instance to farm bosses, so that Blizzard is a job well done.
    I guess my main complaint is seeing how ’ easy ’ the game is and how people can beat the game in 2-3 days after a Season comes out for me does not make the investment worth purchasing Vessel of Hatred. We are about 2 weeks in, Season 5 and I have 4 level 100’s and some players in between. For me, Hell tides are the most enjoyable part of the game because if a player is not careful you can die. ** I play HARDCORE only ** Once you get to the current state of the end game, it becomes so repetitive one loses interest quickly,
    All in all, Blizzard is making a lot of good improvements in this game, but adding leaderboards itself, converting gems, higher item levels for tormented bosses would make END game so much more satisfying. Please Blizzard quit making the game so easy!! The current state of the game seasons should only be a month long.

I’m sure some sort of Horadric Cube with recipes that do this sort of thing (like D3) is lingering in their future plans as another carrot on a stick we should have had at launch instead of a paid expansion.

NMD has a very easily obtainable cap of 100. Almost every single build in the game can reach NMD 100, so there’d be no point of a leaderboard.

Last we heard there were no plans for adding Leaderboards to The Pit, but it wouldn’t be off the table for future content. So maybe something in the expansion will have a leaderboard, we don’t know. All I know is don’t expect a leaderboard for the pit anytime soon.

Stay thirsty my friends. :beers:
