Saw the two roadmap shorts on the official Diablo page…
You finally decided to make a roadmap for this game, two years too late… but you did it.
I see the leaderboards are coming back… or being reimagined, or whatever… cool. again, two years too late… but maybe this time they won’t get disabled for multiple successive seasons after being introduced.
QoL is supposed to be when it improves the player’s time spent playing, mainly by SAVING THEM TIME… not when you cost them time and make bosses take more mats for anyone that runs, while making the bosses harder to run on the most rewarding difficulty tier… that only for the top 10% or some BS.
As you can probably tell, still not coming back anytime soon… but i have to give credit where it is due. You’ve turned around a TON of boneheaded decisions that should have been there from day one… No PTRs, No Roadmap, No matchmaking, Full steam ahead with the content plan even if delays are needed…
On a side note… The YT page needs some new management. They posted two facebook tier meme shorts today about this, and zero community posts to anything of substance… Oh and your comments are flooded by adult entertainment bots.
IDC about it… but MANY players that they NEED to have play this game do.
The game can serve more than just casuals, or more than just goblins… and I hope they find that balance sooner rather than later. I feel the drastic changes to approach as of late are evidence they are trying harder to find that balance… even if I’ve quit playing over some of the changes.
Great way to identify the bots, dupers and RMT’ers. It certainly will not be a measure of a player’s skill and build ideas. It creates more problems than it solves.
It is all about the almighty dollar. Balance doesn’t make the sale. If it did we would have something much better in the 2 years since release.
With as many times as D4 leadership has walked back statements and even flatly denied they even made them I have my doubts any of this is anything more than a sales pitch. I will believe it when I see it.
Unless they are making them a reward for a lower tier than they did this season… This is pretty much guaranteed to happen.
If they weren’t insistent on all these changes to make the game take forever, the pets might have got me to come back each season… it worked for D3, and this season.
Got my raven, and noped out after a few hundred boss runs chasing mythics. Didn’t even come back for the goblin event.
It was about their “Closer” of a leader… he has zero vision and no idea what people actually like about D2… guy actually said they tried to please d2 players with the initial game design…
If they are going to add leaderboards they should probably do it for pvp or have some kind of pvp events. People have beaten pit 150 multiple seasons in a row. Competetive pve in this game just ain’t it. I mean they don’t even have boss races or anything. It will just be pit.
I’m not phased if it’s there or not, but if it is I think there needs to be a solid foundation in the game and reasonable integrity to the platform. That’s getting classes, builds, capabilities performing in a good range and a level playing field where people’s accounts aren’t being put at risk.
