It doesn’t show me clearly. What d3 online problems? What about season longevity? It’s true that d3 has its fair share of problems but are the ‘GR’ and its leaderboard the source of all its problems?
ghost town after 2 days of each season? Lower online than even D2r?
Yes as one and main end-game content. Man, even devs themselves recognized this and said that they would try to get away from it, who and what are you trying to convince? 
I’m not trying to convince anyone. I was wondering where the GR hate came from and the leaderboard.
D3’s rough beginning and dev’s mistakes after its launch were what led to its downfall and the bad rep and it hasn’t recovered and not all of its problems was the GR. And of course, the online count in d3 is smaller because it’s currently in the maintenance mode. D2r is driven mostly by people’s nostalgia and love of their old game, d2 (im one of them). But d2 did a lot of things right, esp for its time.
I don’t know what devs said about GR and all. But if they really said what you say they did, then they obviously went back on their words. Even worse… they created a worse version of d3 GR, which is the Pit…
D4 seasons are also a ghost town after 2 days.

Got your money he can’t be too bad
yeah true, even trade is dead. Nobody is willing to buy anything.
You may have a point, but I also think it’s the brand and the franchise that earned his money (the company and the game’s reputation and long history) and their marketing to a certain extent, not the director necessarily.
Whatever makes you feel better 
I’ll see you in the expansion soon 
Cool! I will see you there
You will actually I love this game 
The 3 stacks mechanics is absolute garbage. Top tier idiocy.
The season 4 mechanic was a lot better. I would love to return to that.
Also, boss hp was not nerfed. I firmly believe it was the opposite.

It’s no different with the previous seasons when we only have NM 100 as the highest difficulty. It’s all about testing your build in NM 100. Can it handle it? For context, NM 100 today is nothing compared to NM 100 in the previous seasons before Pit was introduced.
So if you are complaining this, I assume you are also complaining about NM 100s in the past. If yes, then it’s just a matter of time where Pit becomes trivial. NM 100 now is trivial even on a non meta build. I know because I had been doing it at lot.
Leaderboards aren’t the sole reason why everyone would do something. Maybe for you but I don’t play Pit to hit the leaderboard. Why does Pit need to have a leaderboard to make it better? All the concerns you mention won’t change the mechanics.
You are doing Pit 120+ now?
I don’t like this either but after I learned the pattern in all the Pit bosses I have encountered, it isn’t that difficult to avoid and predict. It only becomes a problem once you get to a level where your DPS is weak and fighting for too long makes you tired and then you forget the patterns.
Agreed, I can beat every tormented boss but struggle against tier 100 it bosses. Yet I can sail through the pit itself. The scaling is a mess…I wouldn’t bother with them if it wasn’t for the need to get the stones and they barley drop now. It’s awful…
Yeah it’s kinda wild, I was taking like a few minutes clearing Pit Boss 95, and then I was like “damn Uber Duriel gonna be tough” then I walked in and melted Duriel. So yeah, they definitely need some more tweaking.
With how RNG masterworking is like everything else, they should just bring up pit rewards to be on par with the new hordes…not the other way around.
It will satisfy maybe 5% of the playerbase have a leaderboard. Time would be better out into a auction house.
Yeah now do it perfectly for 8+ minutes fighting pit bosses and lmk how that goes. Some echoes are brain dead easy others are quite hard to notice in a screen cluttered with animations. Leaderboards would instantly improve pits because 1. it will give players an in game resource to see how people are building to push high tier. 2. it gives you a reason to grind for gear. NM100 was never something difficult. Pit in last season even in 130+ wasn’t anything difficult. They only problem was the health scaling and that the bosses were imbalanced. You had one boss that was killable and the rest were go next at 135+ now the health is a problem and the stacks are a problem because it was never balanced around giving stacks… so what are you contributing here with your points? Absolutely nothing.
Exactly. These game designers are just so deluded… Very few people enjoy such uninteresting boss fights, much less when the fight is several minutes. Like ffs, get a clue foolish design team. Get a brain even?

@OP , At least you can get 70 neaths, some players can’t.
IMO, they added the debuff because in S5, all party can get the same meaningless reward.
Anyway, this is the most annoying activity in the game.
Now, I event hate the name ‘Pit’.
Tier 5 and 6 is big difference but unfotunately this season is out of control about damage bug also one shot you for no reason. It is full of bugs! Something is wrong who I never seen it before!
