From time to time, I make a post or two here on the forum, and I’ve noticed some concerning things.

The first issue concerns criticism: many people here almost always interpret any form of criticism as something pejorative and take it personally. Just today, for instance, people on the forum brought up my mother, my blood pressure, and even called me crazy, andincredibly, even after I reported these individuals, they are still allowed to keep posting.

The second, concerning issue is the immense difficulty some people have in interpreting text correctly. This intellectual deficiency stemming from a lack of reading affects those who don’t read books or aren’t in the habit of writing. It consistently leads to problems whenever such individuals try to engage in a debate.

Critical thinking, objectivity, and authenticity have become problematic precisely because we live in an era where identitarianism has replaced logic. And I’m not even talking about politics. some people on this forum are acting with such a degree of disrespect that it’s actually alarming.

Seriously, you don’t need to curse at someone just because they disagree with you, nor do you need to mock them. If you do that, it’s because you were never taught good manners and you’re a person of poor character.

Either because they genuinely don’t understand what the person has written, due to a cognitive impairmentor because they hold a different opinion. It’s truly surreal…

The issue of cognitive difficulty is not an insult; it’s a problem stemming from a lack of mental exercise, though it could also be due to other factors… Good God, where will this all end?.

I remembered Professor Darius Williams, who teaches at Wheatley High School in Houston, Texas (USA).

The students were unable to complete a simple four-word sentence based on a two-paragraph text, even with the help of sentence templates and pre-provided answers.

On this occasion, the teacher even wept. when venting about this issue .

Sure the internet sucks and it has been like that for years. This forum is no different.
We usher in a new age where the machines does the thinking and we clearly lost our empathy already so it will only get worse.
I know what you mean and I do agree but it cant be saved. Let it die.

this is gold.

This coming from you is premium comedy really. You cant even figure out how to progress the seasonal ranks, and even with people explaining it to you, you refuse to understand.

This is the only concern.
People want to discuss don’t bother doing it here, simpy because of the reason you stated.
Trolls who do nothing but attack others, they don’t even discuss the game. And them being allowed to fester here is the only problem.

There are only a handful who wish to even talk about this game anymore, and many of them are on their way out also.

This can happen for many reasons. Language barrier, people’s capacity (writer and reader). And simply because interpretation of written text is not always finite.
I don’t see this as an issue as someone can always clarify what they meant.

If you put the trolls on ignore you realize how few people actually talking about the game are left. And you really see the lack of community here, at least on the forums. You can try X or reddit it might be better. But I only use reddit for SC Trades and I haven’t even made any for almost 2 years now.

they did this because they are allowed to do so.

Internet, with its billions of users, is the reflection of the real life, in worse. You got to deal with it, and avoid exposing yourself.

OP you can’t be serious.

You just posted a rant post before this, the crux of which was that you could not interpret the game’s seasonal menu. You were not asking for help; you were aggressively complaining, dismissive of the game, and rude to its developers.

Then you come here and try to lecture others on critical thinking, disrespectful behavior, and reading ability?

I’m not saying you deserve any attacks, but you are not in a position to scold others.

Just browsing through this thread (I’m not referring to the content of the thread’s author), I come to the conclusion that about 10 – at most 15 of the same people are constantly writing on this forum. Considering that this is the official forum of a game that’s a sales hit and also a product of a big, multimillion-dollar corporation, I think it’s really sad.

9

is it tho? forums are kind of a thing of the past, hence why many games dont offer them anymore at all. on any platform, you will also see individuals being more active than others. nothing sad about that, its just how things go.

10

Damage control, damage control.
You’ve taken this personally, haven’t you, just like the OP said.
There’s always some fanboy who takes things to heart, as if it were a personal matter.

11

okay? not sure what you are on about. i was directly replying to OPs complaint about reading capabilities. what are you on about now?

what damage needed to be controlled there?

12

i am serious…

It’s typical this place has turned into more than just a routine; it’s become a way of being, hasn’t it?.

You’re just another one of those guys, who shows up on the forum to stir up this kind of atmosphere. You didn’t even understand the post I wrote, nor did you notice that I already have a level 320 character in Diablo 4. And yes, I interpreted the seasonal menu correctly; what I mentioned concerned small details aimed at “better gameplay.”

You’re just another person looking for trouble—you read things the way you want to, not the way they actually are. I hope you read this soon, because I want to keep my distance from people like you. I’m going to block you for 6 months.

I’m not going to get into the stuff of Seasonal things. But I do want to discuss some of the stuff you mentioned in your opening post in this thread.

The issues you brought up there is the result of a War on Education. I mean, it’s perfectly epitomized when the Leader of the Free World as the President has occasionally been called blatantly says “I love the Uneducated” and it doesn’t even get a rise out of people. I mean, I didn’t go to the best school but I did learn basic civics. We were taught history and a broad range of other subjects.

But for at least 40 years, a certain party has made it part of their platform to systematically defund or outright destroy the public school system.

That’s not a partisan judgement but the unbiased truth.

Now, before folks might go about tearing this post apart for gramatical errors and what not. In my twenties I went through several rounds of ECT (Electro-convulsive Therapy) commonly referred to Electic Shock Treatments. Those wiped out a lot of the education I had. I was good at math and writing before those treatments but after you set an equation in front of me and I couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

However, somewhere the knowledge still exists because somehow a gut feeling can lead me to the right answer when I ask other folks who have the right answers if I’m correct. And I can make myself understood in my writing even if I might put a comma in the wrong place or confuse your and you’re or there, their, and they’re.

Just sayin’.

There is no level 320 character in D4.

Level cap used to be 100 until paragon level was added in VoH, and paragon level cap is 300.

What makes you think you have a level 320 character is beyond me.

15

You keep saying this like it means something… all it means to us is that you don’t understand the game. You’re talking about it like you paid someone to max out your character and now you’re just throwing out nonsense numbers that you think are impressive.

and me…

but this is what i say in another post, that over 100 ppl read it. and for your suprise, you are th ONLY one who noticed it. good that you payed attention on it.

ty for reply.

I think what he means is that the Paragon board has 320 some odd points to distribute after reaching 300 and completing all the Statues of Lillith and other statues in the game that reward paragon points.

18

According to AI,

No, an Eternal character cannot reach Paragon level 320

, because the maximum Paragon level in Diablo 4 is 300. However, having 320 or more total Paragon points is completely possible on the Eternal Realm.

Paragon Level vs. Total Paragon Points

In Diablo 4, your Paragon Level and your total spendable Paragon Points are two separate numbers:

  • Paragon Level Cap. The actual experience-based Paragon level hard-caps at 300 across both Seasonal and Eternal realms.
  • Bonus Paragon Points. You earn extra Paragon points on top of your 300 level-up points from permanent account progression, such as Renown rewards, Altars of Lilith, and expansion progression.
  • Maximum Possible Points. Players on the Eternal Realm regularly sit at 330 to 342 total Paragon points once they hit the Paragon 300 level cap and complete all regional unlockables.

Just throwing that out…

Does anyone know, if we block each other, does the forum implode?

You say that like it’s an achievement or gives you some sort of authority over game knowledge. There are people who get 300 every season. Even this season I got to 282 without that much effort. Getting to 300 is just time not skill so it means very little.

Not to nitpick but there is no level 320 but I’m sure you just mean you have 320 paragon points if you could the extras you get from the Lilith statues or whatever it is in eternal now.

Blocking someone because they disagree with you is pretty weak. You’ll be here talking to yourself if you block everyone that doesn’t agree with you.
