i’ll use this as a defense point:
They have had how many yrs to see what players wanted/disliked in D3 to put into D4.
They ignored their own data.
Then lets go to the “load everyone you sees stash” coding…why? There is ZERO universe that has any actual function to anyone.
The patch they chose to nerf the over achieving builds by straight up nerfing EVERYTHING? Again…stupid as you didnt fix anything. the bad are still bad and thetop are still top since it nerfed everything.
Yes, Devs are people & changing game takes time…but these devs DON’T seem to be trying very hard.
Many of the issues with game shouldnt of ever BEEN issues at launch let alone a month later.
Do I have hope D4 will get better in a few seasons time? sure. (I mean they saved D3 from its god awful start)
However saying not to blame devs for their own choices and pure hate of userbase (and u cant tell me some of changes arent out of hate) is dumb as they also need understand “oh crap we fricked up…lets accept this, say we sorry, promise to do better, and actually do changes soon after”
Blizzard dev teams all share same issue…they think they know game best. They want you to play THEIR way when the player doesnt want to because no person wnats play game how they are told (thats hwy options exist).
OW1 devs specifically felt this…they had a view of game, players rejected it, the devs had change how they made game because of it. (this is entirely early OW1 not the 3yr stagnation of lies and the crap that is OW2)
You don’t have a thriving live service game by smacking your user base every time there is a patch.
and I will go back to stash bit becasue its got a lot deeper issues than many know.
- Lag casued by loading others stashes when u see em.
- Can’t increase stash becasue of coding being dog
now look at it from this point of view: they knew adding stash is impossible with current coding meaning they INTENDED this stash size to be all we ever got.
With gems, elixirs, seasonal item, etc all taking up space.
They had intended for us to have jack squat for inventory in a fricking ARPG loot game like diablo.
That alone says the devs didn’t care enough from start.
