Because you say âchallenging contentâ like itâs a good thing when reality thereâs no challenge at all. Youâre either a streamer / bot / exploiter / cheater and faceroll it, or you are not one and you donât get to try for max tier at all.
Challenging content in games is only good as long as itâs fun. The goal should be to design fun content, not challenging content. Blizzard is explicitly making this a challenge-first experience to cater to streamers / bots / exploiters / cheaters with OP meta builds, the rest of the playerbase be damned.
Game is quite easy presently, happy to have a challenge. Donât really care if it ends up being âtoo hardâ or not for my non-meta builds â it can always be rebalanced after people have tried it out. All the sky-is-falling chatter about this new mechanic is strange to me.
And you know this because? Itâs not even out yet, you canât judge how difficult it will be, you can assume, but that only gets you so far. Your strawman argument is coming apart at the seams.
Or youâre neither of these, and you just play the game to have fun. Honestly I would hate to know what you find enjoyable in life, clearly itâs not video games, and itâs especially not D4. Is the game where I want it to be? No, not by a longshot. Am I enjoying Season 2? Absolutely.
The only thing youâve contributed is constant assumptions, tin foil hat theories, and negativity toward Blizzard and D4 in general. Honestly I question your sanity at this point. Only people craving for attention would act out this much against something that literally doesnât affect their lives in anyway if they just stepped away from it. Yet somehow you persist on being here and just hating everything. I honestly donât get it.
If I had as much hatred toward the game that you did, I wouldâve left a long time ago. I wouldnât be on these forums arguing with people over assumptions and opinions. You cry about streamers, botters, exploiters, cheaters, that quite literally have had no impact on your gaming experience what so ever other then another criticism you can throw toward Blizzard because these group of people make you feel inadequate at the game for some bizarre reason.
Have you never played an online video game in your life? Have you never played a crappy video game in your life? If not, news flash buddy, theyâve been around longer then youâve been alive I would wager. Theyâll continue to be around. You can either ignore the bad games and move on with your life, or get stuck in a hole complaining about them. Your choice.
Correct. The main point of the OPâs post is to point out one shot mechanics (this might be hard for you to follow, so read slowly and several times until you understand).
You played a 1 shot mechanic class. Not everyone plays that and has to endure mechanics (are you still following?).
Not at all. I play a sever necro because I find it to be enjoyable for me. Itâs not a 1 shot class like the one you played. Unlike you, I do enjoy a challenge. You played a class that removes all challenge and then post as if itâs not a challenge for the non 1 shot builds.
But do go on with thinking you know all and are correct. I find your posts enjoyable.
I have 19 years of experience with WoW slowly becoming more and more unenjoyable as Blizzard kept ramping up the difficulty to appeal to the top 1% who, surprise surprise, took to 3rd party software and other scummy tactics to negate the growing difficulty, while the rest of the playerbase was left in the dust.
Blizzard appears to be attempting to speedrun WoWâs decline in record time with D4 by holding these private tests for streamers and tuning the content for them. You know why WoW classic is so popular? Itâs because it doesnât have the bloat of âchallenging contentâ that kept getting piled on the game for more than a decade while people kept saying âwell, who cares about what the 1% doâ.
If you canât see the blatantly transparent direction that D4 is going in, thatâs on you.
Do these guys really need to put a hard cap guardrail on their own balancing?
Just a sign if inability to understand their own game and balancing it.
âHow strong does the top level need to be?â - Dev
âProbably hard enough that only the best skilled and best geared players with the right builds can beat it.â Lead
âOkay got it, but how do we figure out the gearing and builds relative to that difficulty.â - dev
âYeah, thatâs hard, lots of bugs we canât really account for. Okay, just make it really really hard, and we will figure it out later. Hopefully, there isnât a bug that makes it beatable first.â - Lead
âSounds good, what about the skill part?â - dev
âThatâs last on our listâ. - lead
âGotcha, so we can just work on it after the dust settles?â - Dev
Also get ready for buggy mechanics where visual indicators magically donât appear before the attack launches, and the devs think, âWow, we really made that difficult. Do you think theyâll leave us alone about itemization, yet?â
They say no one is suppose to finish it but somebody will. As time passes more and more people will finish it. People will learn how to build to finish it. Eventually it will become a test, like finishing level 100 dungeons and killing Uber Lilith, for the most skilled D4 players.
Projection given your first response to me in this thread.
You were responding specifically to me and my mentioning I had completed the season journey before level 100.
Youâre the one failing to follow.
You responded to me doubting I could complete the season journey without a carry. Then pivoted to being outraged that I played a strong spec to do so.
No, you are simply deranged and taking offense to someone playing the game differently than you when I had not made any judgement about any other player in anything I previously said. I am judging you now, but not because of the way you play the game.
I couldnât care less how you play it or with what spec. Youâre the one who is super defensive about that.
Im part of non meta build, frozen orb sorcerer , and im a casual gamer, work 40h, 2 kids, yet i will clear that challenge, stop the tears, dry em, get up , grab a sword/satff/dagger or w/e and start killing, If a streamer can do it, so can you. They are not superhuman. I cleared lilith uber, nm100 witha frozen orb dude, stop crying in front of challenges.
I played WoW for a good 12 years myself, I got bored of the game, and other games came along that I wouldâve rather played. However what I didnât do was stick around on the WoW forums complaining about every bad decision they made that lead to the point of me leaving the game.
This literally has nothing to do with what I was talking about. Again you deflect the conversation. The problem isnât D4, or even Blizzard at this point, the problem is you. But I know youâll never see this. Youâll keep digging that hole, making hate after hate post. Itâs like itâs an addiction to you. I have no doubt youâll buy the expansion just so you can crap on it too. Which makes even less sense, but I can easily see it happening.
People like you never want to let things go, you canât. It would be the simplest thing in the world to do. Just ignore the game, ignore the forums, move on with your life. Instead youâll blame everything else for the problems that youâre having, when you could easily remove the problem yourself.
The issue isnât the fact D4 is moving in a direction you donât approve of, the problem is you canât accept that fact and move away from the situation.
I play CL-orb, totally original build, and I also have a life. I can clear 100 nm dungeons effortlessly. But you have to keep in mind, the sorc is in a really good place this season, and there are other classes that donât have a strong build, or only have one.
This thread is mostly a knock on the meta, not the idea of difficult content.
If theyâre going to give us extremely difficult content, there needs to be build diversity.
I also own a flurry melee rogue , totaly non meta, a double swing barb, i have 3 x lvl 100 seasonal toons and i clear all content with 3 class with non meta build. Poeple complain too much when they get told something will be difficult.
Well, letâs be real, you picked the 3 strongest classes in the game, lol. All 3 S-tier, op, broken builds are across those 3 classes, and those classes all have a plethura of A tier builds. The weakest build you could reasonably come up with, across those three classes, would still be able to beat all uber, and at least hit early 90âs for nm dungeons.
I do agree that this game is far too easy, atm, but I also think there needs to be far more build diversity.
And whatâs the point in adding another uber boss when we only have like 20 unique items to chase, and we can get them all from ubers?
My first post was a question. A question that you have since answered. Again, you asked the incredibly stupid question of"
Followed by you posting that you have completed it with a 1 shot mechanic build (that requires no talent, observing mechanics, et cetera. Congrats? Time to work on that reading comprehension.
and also to the the facts that I have posted above. Once again: not everyone plays a no talent 1 shot build class.
Youâre incorrect, once again.
Correct, without using a one shot build that requires no talent or functioning synapse.
That is also correct. That is because of the ignorance of your question âDo people struggleâ.
I donât think you even understand the definition of that word.
Not at all. Iâm not offended in the least. Iâm simply pointing out your absolute stupidity of questioning people that donât play brain dead builds.
That is funny. In order to not sound like an echo chamber; please see my above posts.
Not in the slightest. Iâm simply pointing out your flawed logic and ignorance.
How did blizzard tune the dungeon so no one can complete it? Everything OHKO the player. A dead DPS is zero DPS. Time to use those insane Immune builds.
We get our items from ubers, right? Is this one going to have a higher drop rate for ubers or something? I already own 99% of the uniques in the game, before even fighting an uber, so the only reason to farm Duriel is to find ubers. But if this new boss has an increased chance to drop ubers, whatâs the point in farming Duriel?
It really seems like they simply donât know how to improve the game, so theyâve resolved to constantly throwing new âcontentâ at us, in the forum of uber bosses, whether they serve any real function or not.
