The truth is this game is boring

I mean really.

  • The story about Lilith and Inarius is good, except when it goes to the Neyrelle part it goes boring and childish (“I need to revenge my mom and will kill an über damon with my bare hand and steal the stone like Leah… maybe I’m Leah sister but I don’t know yet”).
  • The classes are nice but full of cooldown that make them boring to play, like for example the Barbarian Stomp you got 16 seconds to wait, a Leap 17 seconds, a War Cry 25 seconds. Same with the others classes btw.
  • The enemies are boring to play, always making freeze bomb, walls and poison bombs you have to escape.
  • The bosses are not a lot, always the same necro with his blind tornadoes and the blood bishop that instant die when he grab our thorn barb.
  • The butcher was fun at start, when it was a challenge, but after level 50 he’s easy like a sheep.
  • The events are so boring, yet another people to save then try to survive during several waves, but with their low hp they die like flies in NM dungeons.
  • The dungeons are boring too, always free 6 prisoners, take 2 stones and a key, kill all enemies and kill one of the three different boss.
  • The open world is nice, except there’s nothing to do, world bosses doesn’t give xp or good items, legions are still nice to play, when there’s people to play with, events no way I will do this ghost event again, annoying ghosts from D3, no frightening zombies like in D2, horses barricades… so the open world is boring.
  • Even building our character is boring after the level 70 when we have set everything, including paragon boards, and we don’t get any better loot.
  • Vendors are boring, they never sell anything interesting and at an horrible price, I remember greats D2 vendors, sight.
  • Music is boring, so far from epic music of D2.

Everything don’t make players stay to play on this game. So don’t be surprised if the active players numbers is reduced to a very small number. Season 2 will bring some back, but if it is not more funny to play, it won’t last long.

TL;DR

  • Campaign was good at parts, and bad at others
  • Gameplay could use some work, from long cooldowns, to boring enemies, and lack of variety of bosses, also butcher is easy after level 50
  • Events, dungeons, open world, world bosses, legions, and helltides are boring
  • Leveling past 70, vendors, music, life in general is boring

I agree with all of your points with the exception of neyrelle and the music.

I would want vengeance if I was neyrelle. And she’s a teenager. Teenagers aren’t exactly know for being rational.

The music wasn’t that bad.

You mean the maze that is so good the majority of D2 players use teleport to bypass?

At least you could use tele for travel. Who know teleport would become so lame.

When will survivors learn that if they need help, they should ask for it quickly and not go on about their life stories. Ain’t nobody has time to listen.

Then don’t implement a teenager in your game that can’t be written well.

In many cases it becomes boring for another 20, if you are unlucky enough to get listed in the standard set of aspects, you die constantly and this kills the interest of the game.

What do you want? Lord of the rings?

Decently written characters.

Well… I for sure want some things changed and/or improved but hey, I still enjoy the game as is. I always find it tricky to decide where and when to respond to a thread but just want to point out that for every individual who has decided this game should not have been released as is, there are also people like me who still play it and enjoy it. For sure, I want some changes/improvements and the speed at which they are improving things is, I ADMIT, too slow. That said, I still ENJOY the game. Different goats for different folks and such.
*I DO disagree with game being boring after 70. I have seen this sort of comment a lot, although usually people say the game is boring after 50 or 60. For me, this is simply not true. I am CONSTANTLY changing my skill points/passives and paragon points around to see what I can come up with and this keeps things interesting for me. If you just copy/paste an online build, I guess I can understand how it might be boring though.

Its boring after level 100, jou cant find better gear not at boss kill, nightmare dungeons and helltide.
I try it for a month now but still the same trash so i give it up and wait if it get better with season 2

Just because you don’t like a character doesn’t mean it’s poorly written, they’re not going to eliminate Neyrelle just to please a crying child.
You are not the owner of the truth and you are not the center of the world.

I hate cooldown based combat, Diablo 2 had it right.

Wrong causality. The character is poorly written therefore i don’t like it.
also i am not the only one. Actually i think the majority thinks it’s a bad character.

Its not at all boring, just play through it with nms and the world events and have fun!

Look how many ppl in D2R fourms that were begging for cooldowns lol.

I agree cooldowns dont really belong in aarpgs.
