The changes you made to the game overall (except for spiritborne being broken) were wonderful. The only complaint is in past season casual players might not have the top toon but they could hit max glyph and paragon by end of season. The changes you made to the XP values have made it NIGH impossible for causal players to see that end goal now by end of season. I applaud the fact that paras are shared by all toons but 2 things need changed. 1st and end game activity needs created so that characters have something challenging and meaningful to do once they have hit max glyph para etc. 2nd this should be achievable earlier in season much like D3 has done. Why oh why did you not simply learn from your mistakes in D3??? you face the exact same problems did the exact same mistakes etc. It boggles the mind. You finally achieved something that players enjoyed in D3 by the end except for the class and build imbalances. Why not borrow from those concepts?
If you don’t want to do this then D.Imortal came up with a good concept of realm average for xp bonus or penalty. This way the 24 X 7 players can still grind their black hearts away all they want but it doesn’t drive off the casual players. The fact is casual players probably make up the Lion’s share of copies that have been sold and additional copies that “will” be sold it would be best not to drive them all way.
The hard core players can be challenged in Numerous other ways also they can still contribute to your wallets by buying cosmetics etc. They are the ones most likely to buy such things probably.
Also inventory stack numbers are arbitrary why in the world would you limit ANYTHING to stack as few as 20 when we have such limited space (scrolls of restoration anyone) such thins are nonsensical all stacks could easily go 1k to alleviate inventory room especially if we are being allowed an armory. We will be storing more equipment with multiple builds.
Speaking of armory did you consider
- Follower load out changes???
- if an item is on another toon will it retrieve it from the other toon (for once that would be VERY WELCOME)
Next item — the shop
- the reason more items are not being purchase is probably the ridiculous prices you are asking did you consider lowering them some? I would consider buying far more if the prices were not ridiculous for 1 cosmetic choice
- I would buy stash spaces far quicker then I would buy cosmetics POE i probably spent 5X on stash spaces compared to cosmetics
- Enough of the cycling the store just have all options available at all times I don’t want to have to wait a week to see the item I want to purchase NOW! THAT IS ANOYING!
I am fully opposed to any cheat that allows an advantage in game (map hacks in d3 etc) but I’m not a spring chicken if your going to force me to grind endlessly pecking at a keyboard my hands begin to hurt if you wont allow us to use autohotkey etc the introduce a built in auto cast feature for us old folk please. I don’t know about D4 it still does not seem nearly as social as D3 was but D3 most of the folk I bumped into were older players. I’m not saying this isn’t a a game or company for younger players as well but i do know you attract quite a few older players so have a heart for us old buggars.
Thank you and again wonderful game my hope is to not simply to gripe but to hopefully improve this for everyone hardcore and softcore player alike
