My last Diablo 4 forums post. Free advice to fix the game

I think Diablo 4 has come a long way and has a bright future. Quick fixes could easily make it one of the best games ever made.

  1. Top priority should be giving the eternal realm something big. If I was in charge it would be something PvP related.
    On that note PvP rewards need to be upgraded. The gear you get from shard gambling should have better floor stats and item level.

  2. Don’t balance PvP, just improve upon what is there. Give us mini games like capture the flag. Team oriented stuff would be nice.

  3. Ears need a purpose

  4. Blue and white items should be able to extract one of the stats on the item into a scroll and insert that stat over any stat on a legendary gear.

Imagine a world where item level goes up to 1000.

You can incrementally increase an items level from any item level to 1000 by using ears as a primary upgrade material. The level of the ear is the likelihood of successfully upgrading by let’s say 5 item level per upgrade. So a level 100 ear = 100%.

Now people have a reason to PvP. Will they abuse this and farm ears with friends and do stupid stuff? They’ll try. But there will be other people to kill them too if you make it popular enough. As popular and impactful as it should be.

They balanced PvP and shard drops around how long they wanted it to take you to get the cosmetics. That should tell you enough about why the already abysmal PvP system needs a retune in many regards.

The PvP boss spawns erratically and ideally the best way to have a boss like it in a zone the way it is designed is to make it so everytime someone turns in let’s say 10,000 shards of hatred you auto spawn the boss.

Boom instantly make the zone a more playable area. Instantly create more PvP depth. What did you really do? Change the way the boss spawn works, nothing else, and it would Drastically improve the game and PvP.

I was just wondering what you were up to. I am sure all of your fans are going to miss you. Want to tell us what your plans for the future are?

This game has much more and bigger issues than anything semi related to PvP :smiley:

Also they told us D4 will be mainly fucused around seassons. If you expected support for eternal, its your fault. Its just a cementary for seassons classes.

Turns out that this last year was very enlightening. I went back into buying 1999-2006 magic the gathering foils.

Gave up on the cow level when I realized how poorly it was made. At this point my only theory is stamina potions are for you to use on a new character that doesn’t skip campaign. Main use would probably be to use during campaign quests, maybe it changes the results?

Diablo 4 doesn’t really have many problems beyond lacking an end game and lacking a way to gear your character in under 2000 hours.

The only way you can actually believe it takes 2k hours to gear your character is if you foolishly believe an uber is needed for your build.

Or, you actually know statistics. To get perfect BIS gear rolls on all your gear would take at minimum 2,000 hours unless you are extremely lucky. And that’s just for one character.

Perfect BIS and ubers aren’t requirements.

If they had done more discoverable “secrets” throughout this game it definitely would have made things more fun for the long haul. In fact, since it’s supposed to be Live Service they could CONTINUE to add additional secrets as the community at large starts figuring them out. They could tie it heavily into the lore, add new cinematic content, maybe make it so discovering and completing these secrets does more than just an item/cache reward and instead have it fundamentally change something about your experience or the world around you, or open you up to content that is only achievable by figuring this stuff out.

Perfect BIS is what determines who wins in PvP yes? The hardest challenge in this game by definition is PvP. This is due to the gear grind requirements. Man you people are low Q

Lmfao, you think PvP doesn’t matter in a Diablo game. What are ya 10 years old? The hardest fight in this game is other players, anyone who says otherwise has a sewer water IQ

PvP has never mattered in Diablo and it never will. It’s a mini game, at best.

Wrong franchise if you came here for PvP.

PvP is so important in Diablo it has two tiny zones dedicated to it, little player involvement in any Diablo game, and the devs have repeatedly stated it’s not a priority lmao

Actually PVP and a healthy Trade Economy are the only reasons Diablo II has lasted to this day.

Careful jemuzu, you are speaking logic and reason to a sewer dweller. They don’t handle it well.

What I think happened is this: PvP is hard to balance, and blizzard probably gets a lot of angry emails when it’s front burnered and unbalanced. To avoid that they simply put it on the back burner and called it casual content, when in fact you need the best possible gear to survive or even fight people. PvP has always been Diablo’s end game since Diablo was ever a relevant game.

Yep. Sure. Delusions abound in this thread. Everyone knows pvp is why Diablo is successful…the very fact you had to throw in healthy trade economy tells me everything.
