Hello! Filthy Casual here. Been playing D4 off and On since it released and I can’t deny that I still enjoy it. It isn’t perfect but it’s fun for the couple hours a day I play. I think it’s gotten better since release in almost every area but I just thought there were a couple of things to add that I thought would be neat. Give players some more options for how to engage with the game.
- Helltide Dungeons - I would love for the dungeons in helltides to become helltide-ified. It would cost some amount of the embers to enter (Say… 250?) Make them much harder, change up the boss at the end or give the boss extra abilities like they do in the pit with including attacks from other bosses in the middle of the fight. Give the player a single life to complete it or they have to start over and pay again. At the end you get a choice of a chest to open for the type of loot you want with a guaranteed 1+ Star GA.
- Glyph EXP Changes - I know this is kind of a silly one but… I don’t like running any specific content over and over for one purpose. I would just like to be able to level Glyphs as I do any content. Would love to set a Glyph in a slot and as long as it’s in my board, it slowly gains EXP as I do anything. Then I would get that “ooo it leveled!” feeling as I’m running helltides or infernal hordes or something. It wasn’t a great feeling when I was forced to do Nightmare dungeons, not a great feeling that I’m forced to do Pits. Then you can give potions that increase Glyph EXP or something as well.
- Rune Word / Gem Resocketing - Kinda silly I know but could we have it so when we swap out armor in the same slot, as long as there are 2 empty sockets in the new piece of armor, it just auto transfers the runes/gems? It’s not a big issue, just a QoL thing.
- Jewels - One of the things I liked from D2 was Jewels, the idea of a socketable item have random affixes on them. I think it would be fun to have those back! To be 100% honest I find gems a little dull in the game as they just add some basic stats or resistances/armor and they feel kind of… bland? Would love to be able to have more choices on what to put in my armor sockets.
- Damage Meters - I know I’ll get hate for this one… but I would love them. I like numbers, I like numbers gettin’ bigger but more often than not I cannot comprehend the onslaught of numbers on screen. I see them gettin’ bigger so brain is happy but I honestly would like to know more. I want to see which of my skills is actually doing more. Are those points I put into my boulder helping? How about the ones in lightning? I would take that over damage numbers on screen, at least the option too. Don’t need to make it required. Heck even if it’s only in the training room that’s fine! I realize this isn’t the game for it, but, I would still enjoy it.
- Druid Shapeshifted Form Armor - This a selfish one… Can we maybe get armor for the druid shapeshifted forms? Druid is by far my fav class I play it almost every season but it’s sad that we never really get to have armor on the bear or wolf forms. Honestly makes it so I never buy cosmetics (not that I want to spend that much money anyway) but even the ones I do have just from playing the game are kinda pointless.
I’m super excited for Season 7 and thank you for bringing the Armory back! Been my most desired feature since day 1 because I shift builds SO often it gets frustrating. I like to swap builds because I just like experimenting and new ways of interacting with the game keep it exciting for me.
I know that’s a lot to read. Sorry… I tend to just type a lot.
TLDR;
Challenging Dungeons with rewards, Better ways to get Glyph EXP by just playing the game, QoL for rune words, Jewels from D2, DPS meters for silly people like me, and armor on the Werebear/Wolf!
