Its a sad sad situation

PC General Discussion

So you would assume and think that after like what is it ?, 31 years ! of being a company they would know what their player base likes to play and how to play …

I mean what i don’t understand how you as a 3 decade old company publishing a shat ton of games you keep frakking up.

In WOW, Warcraft reforged , Immortal, Diablo 3 and now Diablo 4 …
They keep being so out of touch with their main player base.

HOW… its not like there is insufficient data about how people like to play …
There is 30 years of experience and data to go on…

It doesn’t make any sense in the line of their experience in these kind of games…

The only thing that makes sense is that its all about the money, nothing more… sales and repair after tactics.

You cannot tell me that they didnt see this coming, It almost looks like this was planned.

Another half game release, filled with flaws ,bad itemisation, bad statistics, badly balanced.

Let it blow up and fix it later. And throughout history of the last 10+ years with this company thats been their tactic.

Im so done with this having to wait for a year so they patch their game up so its actually nice to play.

And the white knight going on like , but they gave us this and that .
not even thinking about that those things should have been in the game on release
Gem tab , qualities of liife things , end game stuff and so on.

You charge people 70$ for a game to be fixed with years.
It has been going like this for years
A. 10 percent of what they said they would do, they will do.
B. They are only sorry because they got caught.
C. They definitely will do this again.

And we as a community are like an abused gf who keeps coming back to an abusive man.

Well not me , i haven’t even started up the game anymore since the 15th of July.

If the community didnt flame this patch , they wouldnt have had the campfire chat.
But now they HAVE to do something about it… Same old same old.

Im done Blizzard

I guess they are really in touch with their wanted playerbase.

They adressed the “don’t care about anything/ don’t notice anything as long as I can play after a horrible day at work to escape reality” crowd which on top pay for pretty much anything extra without thinking about.
They got their crowd (which don’t know and care about forums and stuff) in all games they run and monetize them in extreme ways.
The new generation of FB gamers.

Anyone on forums and videos, theorycrafting and so on is way too much core gamer for AB products. Wanted Beta testers I would call core gamers in AB games.

I can’t agree more to the OP. One good things about the r’tard white knights were that they kept telling me to uninstall enough times that I uninstalled everything including b net launcher. Have fun getting f’d over and over then have to protect them like u have severe cases of stockholm syndrome.

Hey, I am not positive about the game too, but can we stop making the same topic every day. Lets wait until the stream next week and yes I agree that they will probably under-deliver, other than words since beta we got nothing else.

Our next advice is to avoid the forums. If you cut all ties, do it good: going back to the forums is still consuming the franchise.

Great! Happy for you.

Its time for you ( and others like you ) to move on. This forums are a wall of …poopoo criers.

Check the game back when … you feel like.

We actually kinda know

it was a very big controversy…

but there was hope that diablo 4 had years after it had come out to maybe pull past it

8

What can i say … i can’t agree more. People saying; “Good happy for you , now leave” , “they will deliver” and so on are delusional.

It took them after D3 ROS to actually make the game enjoyable … 2012-2014 thats almost 2 years… and them you might think they know … here we are … D4 2023… not gonna wait until 2025 for them to make this game enjoyable… by that time with technology going so fast they need to be making it full VR …

The Original Blizzard Diablo Team left the company to create Path of Exile, that’s why… :smiling_face_with_tear:

And yet here you are

This is NOT the same company that made games 20, 15 or even 10 years ago. It only shares the name.

While i know and agree , that does not mean they dont have the data and history to act upon.

All that ( besides how they actually programmed D2 ) was taken over.

14

Yep.

Acti-Blizz is a massive publicly-traded company, and it cares about making money, primarily, and the way they look to do that is mass market. Mass market is not core gamer, they are two different markets. The core gamers are the ones who get up in their face on forums and streams and so on, but the mass market is their true target customer, and so all of the games are garbage now because they are aimed at the mass market gamer, and not core gamers.

maybe because he spent money and time on it? you fanboys are really not getting this, dont even try

16

Ah my favorite white knight , Exiled!

How are you buddy ? Still Questing along ?
You just can’t help yourself can you ? You have this compulsion to “have to react” on negative Blizzard posts.

Even if its plain obvious that we again got neutered with a hot knife and no anesthesia.

And thats besides " starting up a game , and going on a forum to see how things are playing out" , two very different things.

I’m pretty sure they’re actively implementing changes based on (vocal minority) feedback- Poe was not smooth 2 months in either babe. They’re clearly drawing heavy inspiration from d2 and reactively seeing how systems play out

18

I have a theory.
If data and algorithms were enough to trully understand people, Facebook wouldnt be a dead (or soulless) site.

19

Well, I respect your opinion, but I disagree :slight_smile:
I still have fun playing the game, each time I got a blast of hours. I think the graphics and the animations are astonish, so it must be 50% of that blast.

20

Absolutely and bc of that I am not mad at all - even if it crushed some gaming related dreams again.

21

Oh dont get me wrong , i had a blast aswell … until i hit about L60
Then it went downhill very fast.
Bad itemization, bad endgame (if any) , repetative bad designed dull dungeons and so on.

graphical and animation wise Blizzard always was one of the best … but imo that does not make a good game. A game can have stellar almost real animations (like Blizzard is known for) but i cant play in them… No, i stay with my case its baffeling how they NOT learn from their mistakes in the past. Its ashtonising how they can keep getting away with releasing half made games , then after that adress the problems. And i know , there are always minor problems in new games , little bugs , crashes etc. But how they continuely under perform releasing a game with half in it after they had the whole D3 debacle … unbelievable…
