Quitting or Staying? Why?

Going to get every class to 100…then I’ll quit because I can’t help myself.

Am I having fun? No. It’s all about FOMO.

This is the best comment I have seen today this is for you :point_right: :trophy:

I’ll stay, but it going to be like celebrating Independence Day in the rain. Little bitty stingin’ rain, big ol’ fat rain, rain that flies in sideways, and rain that even seems to come straight up from underneath.

I haven’t finished the main story on a char yet as I am casual. But I have 2 lvl 35+ chars and will see them at least till the end of the story. If I stopped playing today(and I won’t) I have more than 100% gotten my monies worth. Everytime I boot it up it’s like free game. I’ll quit when Im bored. Same as anyone else.

Personally i find it barren and a bit lonesome and I feel that will be what kills the game earlier than it should have, for me.

neither, i mean im not actively playing, but the game doesnt have anything to entice me with at the moment, season 1 i will play because ive already payed for it, but after s1 i am coming back when we have a group finder so i can actually find people to play with, and not have to deal with clans, discord or forums.

so i guess ill play, but then ill wait for updates, but i will be back once the game is better probably. its way too early to make these kinda decisions.

The whole “the game made for casual” feels like a really lame excuse not to put more content in the game

I keep trying to progress but i’m just so bloody bored.

I want to try a new build but i can’t find even halfway decent gear for it.

I try to run nm dungeons but i’m just so f n sick of chasing ranged or repeatedly fighting those pink bastards. (just make everything ranged and be done with it, tedious garbage)

I try levelling an alt but it’s just so slow and boring that I just can’t bring myself to do it

I try work on my gear but waiting for a helltide, doing that for an hour and then rolling 30 times to not even see the affix I want just makes me turn off the game and do something exciting, like picking scabs or watching grass grow.

Seriously, everything I do in this game, from the 500 escort quest story to the tedious garbage pick that is the gear system just makes me tired.

I try to like this game, I love diablo, but this isn’t it.

I, for one, am staying…

…to complain on the forums and suggest improvements, until I decide to stop. You can even find some of those threads through the following links:

And more, when I’m not feeling lazy! Act now and for the low, low, cost of taking several moments to write after reading, you can even comment…for FREE! That’s right, absolutely free! That’s, at least, $60 less than it cost you to purchase the game! Practically a steal, if you think about it.

Act now while supplies last!

Considering the codex of power and what aspects are in it - they really thought people wanted to do the whole seasons reset over and over again.

People don’t even want to do end game loop over and over again.

Insufferable I tells ya. The whole lot! :wink:

I’m going back to D2R. I think what’s missing for me is the loot. Everything feels tedious in this game from managing resources to finding an upgrade in a bunch of rares and uniques that have the right stats.

Same here. I’ve been waiting for a long time and played early access. Game looks great.

Just go read one of the 100 other threads asking the same exact question. JFC

Do people get some kind of trustworthiness attribute to their online forum profile for getting a lot of replies to their posts?

I’ve seen a lot of threads like this, which seem intended to bait as many responses as possible.

Recently, saw a “Diablo 3 is better, prove me wrong thread.”

Now this.

Anyway, I’m staying. I purchased the game at release and my highest-level character is a level 47 Barbarian. I play most days of the week, usually between 1 and 2 hours.

I have no idea how people beat the game and are max level.

I really love the game, and I think it’s because I don’t play it in a way that would make me physically ill, or burnt out from it.

Quitting until Season 1, then I’ll get the moneys worth out of the Season Pass.

After that, I’ll decide whether the offerings of Season 1 are worth sticking around or whether I’m waiting for an expansion overhauling everything from items to paragons, with an entirely new lead dev, as RoS did for D3 and LoD for D2.

No…

It is to gear a strong build in the mid to late 60s (or later) and then do it. For instance, I had Crone’s Staff drop for Druid to enable Stormclaw and then essentially swapped my aspects and cleared quickly when my Poison Shred build couldn’t kill Elias due to issues inherent in the build and a bit lack of patience on my end.

First half no, second half yes… that’d be awesome

As for the actual question:

Staying, but going back to playing a few games. I enjoy Diablo 4’s combat (as Druid), Item grind is okay although I do wish, like many, that the itemization was a bit more interesting, and I still have ~2 more classes I want to play and likely 2 I’ll want to fully gear eventually.

We’ll see about after s1 where I stand though after my Druid and (Necro?) are done. There are some issues; however, the game is also fine to relax and kill on for awhile as well.

For me, seasons are where I make my alts in ARPGs

I’m waiting for Starfield and POE2. Will probably divert my game time to those when they come out.

Otherwise I think for now D4 is not a bad game to jump in and do a quick 40 min dungeon run. It’s got lots of rough edges, in terms of UX and the technical aspects of the game, but it’s playable.

I doubt I would be investing 20 hours a week into this game after the 1st season, though. Maybe even during the 1st season. And I think it’s fine.

I grew up before the internet era so offline single player games that have a “finish” has always been more natural to me. If anything I dislike “live service” games that artifiically try to extend play time, with for example lower drop rates, expensive consumables and mats, etc.

Game is still fun at that point. It’s just not fun around lvl 70 anymore. Not much to do.

There were some dungeon exploits that people took advantage of. They also play non-stop. These are the competitive ARPG players. I feel like this game was designed for them. There is a lot of min/maxing. I find that tedious. I like the old school loot that D2 had. I don’t want to look at every rare and legendary for an upgrade. It’s too tedious and doesn’t excite me.

These players love stats and get really into it. I like this to a degree but not like them, lol.

I like the game.

If I stop playing its because:

  • Takes too long to level new chars and classes
  • progression while leveling feels off
  • 50 hours of leveling where the char just feels the same
  • Chasing 5% vulnerable damage upgrades in addition to re-farming the same aspects
    over and over if I find an upgrade
  • inventory management: stash space in addition to having to look though 1000s of
    items for an upgrade

Will depend on season 1.

This diablo game doesnt offer the same excitement / dopamine with regards to loot that d2r does so i may go back to d2r until BG3 or PoE2 come out.

Staying. Im having a lot of fun. I work 60-80 hours a week so it’s nice to be able to hop on for 30 minutes and clear a dungeon and hop off
