Please NERF power creep on PTR, do not turn D4 into D3

This is NOT good for the game. NO build should be 1 shotting UBER UBER bosses… that completely defeats the purpose of having “Uber Uber” bosses…

Druid Hurricane… hitting for triple digit billions…
Barb Tornadoes…
and many many more…

These all need to be reigned in and fixed ASAP. DO NOT let these go to live in this state.

Having a variety of strong builds for each class is fine. But, that much power is absurd. Reign it in.

Being OP is FUN dude!

I mean honestly it’s the best part, swatting monsters like flies is awesome!

If you haven’t noticed it has been going this way every patch. The spiritual successor to D2 has turned in D3 with better graphics.

Gets boring with time

This is a character issue

OK, I get it, people want to [DP] and see how far they get, BUT balance matters

That being said - balance isn’t only in builds and classes, but even gear as well

As long as they follow that practice of:

  • What used to be the best now is even better

We’re heading in the WRONG direction

@OP has right, should keep things reasonable

b.t.w. I posted a longer post about the [whole summary] of impressions and thoughts that I have :slight_smile:

You getting bored isn’t to be confused with me getting bored.

But don’t worry, PTR is for testing, it’s not the live game, it’ll be tuned/nerfed etc I’m sure.

Yeah, stop bringing things that made D3 the massive success it is today, where a dedicated fan base returns season after season, maintaining massive MAUs for the franchise. This definitely won’t lead to a massive revenue generation engine of low-cost cosmetics that your own player base will act as free advertisement for.

In my opinion not really, this Just show that a handful of builds are op making any kind of challenge in the game meaningless and every builds beside them too.

It’s definitely not how it’s supposed to be, especially with build covering the entire screen with tornado annoying and making lag the whole server…

It’s not how is supposed to be. Except in an alpha maybe

Ban Rob2628 from Diablo 4, he is the one created the entire PTR brown storm and many Barbilions :rofl:

Haha!

I like that. It’s pretty accurate.

Saw this in your other post, what is DP? Dead Pan? Data Processing? Displaced Person? Dew Point? Degree of Polymerization? Double Play?

I’m an old man I can’t keep up with all these abbreviations you kids come out with these days.

Its a PTR, they are testing and making notes of what’s doing what, besides the I always thought you’re constantly in the hunt to get that perfect build just to do that be able to stand toe to toe with the bosses and give them theirs since they have been doing it to you as you have been building your character up. Want a challenge then don’t use any enhanced equipment see how much fun that is.

I so agree with you. I hope they come to their senses.

The game has become a one shot the boss or the boss will one shot you. All the work they put in boss fight mechanics are completely useless if you one shot it. How low quality is that.

1.7 trillions dmg reached

Oh yea, all class have crazy OP builds now

These devs can’t help themselves so expect zero difficulty again just like D3.

To be honest, the biggest problem with D3 was the lack of content and not how easy it was… I would dare say that the difficulty was not even part of the top 5 of its problems.

On the other hand:

People dont understand power creep in general. They believe high numbers is power creep.

Itemization/crafting is power creep. All old items are irrelevant. D3 did it with sets by modifying new sets to have +x dmg multiplayer.

The entire S4 launch makes everything obsolete just like when they increased ilv to 925.
