That’s really sucks! I never got into POE, but that doesn’t sound like fun to me. I don’t want D4 to end up like that, but I fear it is headed that way.
What you failed to see is there is huuuuuuge gap between “not perfectly balanced” and D4.
SB is like adding helicopter to horse race game.
min-maxing has always been a thing in Diablo.
Diablo 1 people min maxed to speedrun the game, D2 ppl did it to farm (reasons top pvp spec and the top boss farming were so disliked yet widely used , same for 3 and 4.
Yes I agree, but only for people following streamers and guides. I don’t pull those numbers because I don’t follow streamers and guides. I don’t want to follow them. Right now, I am not having an issue playing the game. But, I fear one day very soon I will have to follow streamers and guides in order to play the game, and that’s why I posted this topic. I believe the game is going in the same direction as WOW. I might be wrong, but the signs are there.
You don’t have to follow a guide and you don’t have to reach T4/Top pit. Those internal goals are being set by the very people you’re complaining about, the streamers. The difficulty changes by Blizzard were so you could play “unoptimally”. You can find and do everything in T1 if your build can only go that far and with enough paragon even the worst of builds should be able to be in T1. The balance complaint only comes from jealousy of seeing what others are doing. If you make your own build and only play solo, you shouldn’t have a care in the world about “balance”.
I can understand how streamers affect the state of the game and i kinda agree, but players seem to like it as i noticed.
The game has gone this way, because people want the game this way.
Sorry but this is the sadly truth.
People like to get anything without even think about the game mechanics.
That’s all!

They wonder why they are bored after a week. The game has already been played. You’re just repeating what someone else did.
