Is it me or did they make the game even easier than last weekend? I have yet to see the challenge in world tier 2 and I have played Barb and Sorc last week and Necro now. Might as well have an autoplay feature. If you are going to offer a world tier 1 at least make tier 2 hard. Can you please increase the difficulty on world tier 2. You can keep world tier 1 as it is, but the game is embarrassingly lacking in challenge for veteran players.
It’s too easy. This is the first beta I’ve played of D4. It needs an inferno mode. Man, I cannot imagine how easy world tier 1 is!

It’s not supposed to be difficult, have you guys played the previous Diablo games? If you know what you’re doing clearing the story mode on the second difficulty is super simple.
Oh and just btw not that it really matters all that much, but Blizz confirmed it on twitter that the drop rate on Legendaries in beta is inflated so that we can get geared faster for testing. It will be more difficult to stomp ahead on live realms quickly without so many easy legendaries dropping.

Here is how I see it:
Diablo 1: Much harder on Normal than Diablo 4
Diablo 2: While not hard is still much harder than 4
Diablo 3 classics: This was too hard for normal. Way harder than any other diablo.
Diablo 3 now: Is a joke and maybe still harder than diablo 4.
Running around with Necro bone spear and I am a god - way too easy for 'Veteran" mode.
Diablo 1 and 2 are not hard. Go back and play them they are VERY easy games. You only remember them as hard because you were a kid that had no idea what you were doing.
The fact you thought Diablo 3 was difficult and are now comparing D4 as easy just shows that you finally learned how to play in D3 and are now confused as to why you aren’t facing the same learning curve. D3 is SUPER easy, you can clear it on Master’s difficulty with a fresh level 1. I’ve done that on Hardcore for fun.
They’ve always been easy games dude. The trick has been the item hunting online. Always has been that way.

You clearly didn’t play D3 classic… First there was no master mode. And D3 now is very easy. D3 classic was way harder than D3 is now. You do know the difference between classic and now correct? Other than graphics they are not even close to the same in difficulty. And when I say harder that doesn’t mean they are hard. They are still harder than Diablo 4.
Yes I did. I was in the game on day 1. Got all the way up to the original Inferno mode when I was being one shot by anything that touched me but because Demon Hunters were OP I could kite for days and days.
It’s not a challenging game. And even if you think it was, you’re comparing a completed game to act 1 and level 25 in this beta. Apples to apples, this act 1 is more challenging than act 1 was day 1 of Diablo 3.

almost as if this game is a cash grab
weird!
There is 5 difficulties, third is unlocked by finishing the campaign.
Maybe I was thinking of beyond Diablo classic act 1 normal. I just remember diablo 3 classic was by far the hardest in the series. And maybe the scaling will be enough to satisfy, but when they have a world tier 1 and 2 that basically offer nothing to veteran players why even have tier 1 and 2? instead of making 2 normal difficulties just make 1 world tier and call it good in my opinion. It’s 2 world tiers where everything is wiped off the screen and bosses are just hit sticks.
Good question. Wish I had an answer for you. Maybe the third tier is going to be a significant spike in difficulty so much so that you need to be level capped to handle it. I don’t know, I suppose I’ll revisit this question again when I get there.
If you look at these forums though, there are clearly players that DO need those lower difficulties since not everyone has spent the last 25 years with significant experience playing ARPG games.
Did they have Torment 16 in d3 classic?
No?
Then maybe u’ll understand why Normal on D3 now might “be a little bit easier than it was when it first launched.”
