Just cancel this season and extend S4. The most important thing is firing anyone related to develop S3 and S5 immediately. Without this we will repeatedly get trash like S3 and S5.

D4 has problems with character toughness and bricking items. They need to fix it or every future season, including this one, is pretty much over.

I don’t know if I’d go so far as to fire entire teams, but I do think there is a lot of merit to stop the end of the Odd and Even Team season assignments. There is not enough continuity in the current structure.
I do agree at the current rate unless they just change the entire end game loop proposed to an entirely new one they would be better off just extending S4. I would release the QoL updates like boss summons, weapons equipment to other classes as soon as possible, and just let the players enjoy S4 instead before the big nerfs that S5 is proposing. In fact, just scrap the entire slate of proposed nerfs and use the time to figure out balancing in a different direction.

add low effort content, switch some numbers, let people find bugs and get tons of battle pass sales in the end. it might not be important for you but they likely not gonna skip easy money.

S3 and S5 developers never played Aprg in their life.
And I am not surprised they may only spend 5-10% their working hours to do development everyday

cancel this dev team and entire D4 leadership, imo
Seriously quit with this crap. You may not like the features and that’s fine but to call for people to be fired is just sociopathic.
Seriously forum and account bans need to go out for anyone called for people to be fired.

Wow
a developer of S5
Agreed.
Mediocre mechanic for a short season doesn’t matter.
Rather spend the time to actually figure out class balance so it stops being an issue.
Wildly changing skills a year after release is quite nutty.
You’d think a solid month or two of play testing and adjusting should be enough to place all classes in a good place.
If anything still one-shots bosses after that just put a cap DMG on boss fights and be done with it.
I actually kind of agree that S5 should just be cancelled and S4 continued, and instead spend your time trying to balance stuff out in S4

I agree with this sentiment with exception of firing staff. Take the community feedback and truly listen. To restore faith I would like the following;
- any perceived nerfs must be qualified with substantial data that samples the whole affected player base and not top players or super lucky rng winners.
- Focus on bringing all skills into use either by buff or re-work.
- Work with the Diablo 4 community leads with representation of all the classes.
- Be open about about technical reasons that affect addressing issues.
The addition of colors to aspects, while looks nice, this was never more important that all the other outstanding issues.
PTR really helps make sure you are doing things right but you have to make it such that everything is available immediately to ensure it all tested.
