The alternative is playing POE or LE. lol
Then you don’t know anything about these communities? The biggest complaint in POE is having to repeat the acts/quests every season/alt and people constantly ask for adventure mode or endless delve or whatever to level up after the first character.
Grinding maps or delve or whatever is fine. Repeating boring low level side quests to check boxes is boring.
The answer is everyone wants to grind and farm dungeons. Its no secret, its what weve all been clamouring for since the nerfs. Sorry if you think thats as tedious or boring as tree of whispers or doing renown bs, but its what diablo games have been about since the start.
Is there a time limit? No? Okay, time to slowly do all those activities for that dopamine high. Seriously I’m just doing it for the adrenline rush. Adrenline last waaaay longer.
it is getting better stuff that gives me the dopamine and I got like 3 upgrades to my gear in the last 2 weeks. The game is too easy for adrenaline. I play Soulslikes for adrenaline. I play arpgs and looter shooters for Dopamine. wich is why Nioh is one of my favorite games since it combines souls combat with diablo loot
eh… I have monster hunter for long adrenline sessions. I can drag on fights to 30 to 40 minutes of intense struggles.
Kinda applies to everyone who replied to my message: there was nothing to race towards that forced the OP to burn themselves out directly doing the renown chase in a compressed amount of time. Passively making my way through the game (level 70 now) and all regions are at or near the Paragon step in renown. If I REALLY wanted to, I could power my way through the remaining bits, but why would I? To get even close to an end goal I don’t want to reach yet?
