irrelevant for the topic… next.
Hard to read sarcasm in text. That’s why I avoid it. I assume all text I read is literal.

Imagine defending this video! HAHAHAHAH
Congrats, you were actually the FIRST to do it, even among other white knights who said it was undefendable.
How the F* can a dev have no clue about how the game feels and how it’s played? It’s like designing/engineering a car and having no f***** clue what is a car and how to/what is like to drive one.

you have to be an idiot to piss off your target audience for a couple of likes from weird people

It’s baffling that they actually thought it would be a good idea to release the video though.
Right? Utterly tone deaf, and clearly they are not listening to what’s being said about the game and the broad belief that D4 devs don’t even play D4. They gave us a video that proves it. This is game development malpractice at its finest…
watch the gameplay right after this. a barb in perma CC, having massive trouble killing monsters.
Was this for real? I cannot believe this was a blizzard video.
How embarrassing! Im not sure what the intent was, but i couldnt even finish watching it. Way too cringe.
Shame on you Blizzard. Wtf.

I’ll take backtracking for 15 seconds over what you apparently want, which is a straight-line hallway to a boss room.
Somehow, I knew this was going to be another YouTube link, that by clicking on it, I’m going to make some random person money. Sorry, no clicks from 
well done! You deserve a medal for this post. No kappa.

This is the typical white night response. Any and all criticism is because your a bigot and (hate) X. Which has nothing to do with actual quality of the product… which is this case is a disaster. I’d assume D2R will have larger population/player base this time next year.
Outside of the graphics… this game is a disaster. Stop defending people who clearly have no passion for the game.

THESE are the devs. Diversity and SJW hires who have no idea what they’re doing. I love seeing the social justice morons get their comeuppance

That’s the response they give for ANYTHING when someone doesn’t agree with them

I expect an architect to not only understand how his foundation gets implemented, but also know how much weight their foundation can support. Building a dungeon and not knowing how the classes and skills intereact with the environment you created beyond “stick em with the pointy end” lacks passion, pride, and competence. This is why games like BG3, Elden Ring, and Path of Exile get the praise and accolades from the gaming community, Their developers have pride, passion, and competence in the product they provide the consumer.
And you know what? I haave absolute compassion and sorrow that Bobby Kotic fed them to the wolves to deflect the mass criticism and put it on the culture war. He knew full well how this video was going to be recieved, and he put low hanging fruit that the “ANti-woke” idiots just couldn’t ignore. Bet my firstborn by the end of the week, Kotaku, Polygon, RPS, IGN will ALL have articles stating the the Diablo community is a bunch of toxic gamer bigots.

I mean look at well-tuned games like league. There is an incredible amount of work that goes into designing every pixel of the rift, based on experience with how professional players use different champions to dash, exploit vision, etc. Saying that dungeon/environment design doesn’t require knowledge of game mechanics is laughable on its face.

This is such a nothing-burger of a thing to even have a hot take about.

keep sticking your head in the sand and eat the plate of bovine fecal matter this game is. You spent $70 or more to be a beta tester that was not disclosed to the consumer.

I disagree as to the significance these dungeon designers are having on my fun. A corridor is a corridor is a corridor, and a field is a field is a field. That’s my opinion and you definitely don’t need to agree with me on it. Having said that, the silly objectives in all the dungeons when most of them (or maybe all) should just be to kill all the stinkin’ monsters, could go away tomorrow and it’d only make me enjoy running dungeons even more with few exceptions. As for Bobby, I seriously, seriously doubt dude had anything to do with this advertisement video’s creation or approval. You don’t waste your time on those trivialities as the CEO of a multi-billion dollar corporation. Not sure if you’re invoking him literally or just figuratively though, so I’ll leave it at that.
