Season 2, First dev notes looks good so far

Well as a father with work, i’m happy, i can’t play 1-2h a days playing my own way and hit lvl 100 with rush thing out, Xp boost is a good thing for me at least not only some youtuber !

Plus i dont really see the problem here, nobody force people to stop playing when hit lvl 100, now at least casual like me can hit 100 without forcing optimise our time and that make the game more enjoyable !

I still think they need improve 1-3 usless affix on every item for make me play again tough !

Yeah you make a fair point, I just meant that they may be influenced to make changed if the company is not happy there top streamers are not streaming, i mean idk, maybe they dont care lol, just my observation of the world we live in, thats all.
I dont always have time to play alot, so i have not played nearly as much as some and i am not close to being bored, so i get it.
I have plenty to do at 100 personally, but i dont play like to beat the game fast.
My issue is getting one shot and it makes no sense, unless i had a affix i forgot, one log in i am clearing 70’s next i am struggling with a 60s, no matter what i choose, i change nothing its just like my defense stops working lol, i even got one shot in the open world,

anyway glad its a improvement for you, i am not against improvements for others that might be cons for me, they gave me some dirt but also some burgers, so i am good.

In regards to experience, I get your point but I don’t think the experience gain should go to either extreme.

-Before this upcoming season they have already made multiple experience boosts and while I didn’t like it, I was understanding mostly because of people such as yourself who have more limits to gaming time than I do.

-But another 40% faster experience this time around? I don’t really like the idea of them moving SO far in the direction of people with almost no gaming time that the rest of us are rushed to the finish line when it feels like we should only be halfway. At least not until/if they implement more to do AFTER the finish line.

Also, you’re right, I don’t HAVE to quit playing at 100 and once in a while I do play past 100 but there really isn’t a whole lot of point to it. What is left to do? The same thought process works in reverse as well. Why do you NEED to get to 100? The fun/progression part is all before that, at least in my opinion.

Indeed.
Lvl 100 should just serve as some optional thing you might do sometimes.
Most people didnt start D2 characters with the goal of reaching lvl 99. Nor did it matter. Everything was doable before lvl 99.

D4 definitely shouldnt be D2. But on this specific topic, D2 had it right.

The only thing I hoped to see was details around balancing and nothing was said so until that is a focus I won;t be back. I’d love to play a blood Necro but without major changes it isn’t viable so until they wrap their head around balance it’s a hard pass for me still.

I agree the stream was great. Tons of QOL improvements and tons of content coming. I am feeling good about playing season 2 now and looking forward to it. I hope the second campfire where they reveal the class changes is just as good I hope LOL.

I agree. I also really like this rain of xp. I don’t want it to become d3. The game was boring at level 80 because there was nothing else to do. Now we have level 920 content and items

They have made it clear that these are topics for the stream on the 11th, just FYI.

As an aside, I found Bloodlance necro to be very viable! --I did not do uber lilith though–
