This game is better than D2 and 3 on release.
Sure the game is a bit BETA-ish. It will change! A lot!
I don’t understand why people expect a perfect complete game on release. All games go through content addition, patching, etc.
Bottom line: people are just angry and salty at the world these days. My hopes are high for D4! Keep slaying!
So most know this but I don’t blame people for complaining.
You are buying a game, you expect a finished product. Yes, we went away from subs and frequent expansions, but what we get is we pay full price and get a half finished product
We went away from professional testers to we pay to test.
We continue testing in release.
Basically we fund and perform testing… So rightfully people complain. Don’t want complaints, hire professional testers and release a finished product.
Because… the game released?
“But the other games sucked too” is not a valid excuse.
Not an excuse but changing dev team leads multiple times plus the sexual harassment lawsuits lead to a rushed game. It sucks but its reality.
Additionally, it is annoying how they sink so much money into marketing and trick consumers into thinking mechanics or end game content is there when it isnt. They spend more time and money on bsing the community/consumers than they do testing and creating the product.
Forums, especially blizzard forums, are always the toxic minority. Don’t put too much stock into them.
Tell me you did not live in the 90s without telling me
You got more posts than all of us combined? That mean you the toxic one?
Someone’s not very good at math.
Doesn’t help that they only took 3 years to make the thing.
End game content IS there, it’s just not what you expected.
But they want the flawless endgame of d2 where you spam the exact same boss/zone thousands of times.
I truly hope this is a troll post.
A 70-100$ game not being finished on release? With obvious issues that hints towards a much deeper problem than some minor bugs?
Man, with customers like this…good times to be a big company.
It is sad that newer generations are being brainwashed into accepting dishonest business practices, because they didn’t experience anything better they learn to like it and even defend it.
The future of gaming is looking rather grim.
D2 was full game on release…it just got better over time.
we got a 70$ paid beta product. with people who IGNORE previous titles. simple stuff like community boards and clans from D3 is completely missing for a game they WANT US TO PLAY WITH OTHERS.
not to mention other stuff like a like (?) icon to let you know what you can roll on a piece of gear.
they do not learn from their competition. they do not learn from THEIR OWN PREVIOUS PRODUCTS.
no its not on the same level at all. you are just trying to defend your 70$ you spent on this game instead of facing reality.
Doesnt bloody matter if its “better on release”
if your sequel does not at the very least have the features your previous installment had at the time of the sequels release, don’t release the sequel.
And i dont understand, why people, like you, are fine with NOT getting a complete game.
We are not talking about some god damn indie developed early access title. We are talking about a triple A extended fullprize game.
Sorry but it isnt what most of the community/average gamer would expect. You cannot write a sentence down on paper and turn that in for an essay and expect an A. Just because they attempted or did the bare minimum on something, doesnt mean that they can just checkbox “ultimate dungeons with endless replayability!” They had previous games as a base to work from and understand what works for gamers and what improvements they could make from those games. Instead we get another beta that puts this game even behind D3 release…
POE was better in beta
Are your standards that low nowadays in 2023 that you find the state of this game acceptable?
oh… how about a game with working mechanics?
