So going to try keep this short, but wanted to provide some feedback after finishing the S7 story and getting into Torment levels (I have played all prior Diablo games and D4 since the beginning).
- Please do not have future seasons contain this much grind to progress the story. I am so sick of Whispers after having to do SO many, just to get the story to progress (the last 60 whispers literally just unlocked final dialogue that was very anticlimactic, no boss fight, nothing).
- Please allow us to set the difficulty of the game above “Hard” at character creation, and not force us to enter the game and then go and set Expert or Penitent in town after the fact. It’s a minor gripe, but surely it isn’t that hard to change?
- Since all the itemization changes and also the expansion, I have found only 1 single Unique item during the 1-50(60) leveling process, across about 8 characters. Please allow more lower level unique items to drop, it makes build crafting DURING the leveling process a lot more rewarding. I hate that I have to sit there and bash my head against the keyboard to level 60 before I finally start getting items I can build around.
- I never understood why the level 50-60 items go from average, to godlike (other than making you feel the “power” curve) when the expansion launched and I still don’t now. Standardise this, so 1-60 feels more linear and the game doesn’t get even more trivialized.
- As has probably been harped on about enough, we need more pinnacle chases to go for, that isn’t pit, Duriel or Andy or repeat. The expansion added promise with the group content and undercity, but it’s far to easy and doesn’t reward you with anything special. We need more Lilith type fights, that actually give a unique item / cosmetic.
- Lastly, it wasn’t good on release of the expansion and it still isn’t any different now, but the rune system needs a major rework. It provides boring passives, that don’t really promote any kind of active gameplay in it’s current state. D2 did rune words far better, not sure why we had to change that.
