This game is currently in a very rough state. It feels like being trapped in a spiderweb, struggling to break free from its numerous issues. The game is plagued by a significant number of bugs and non-functioning features. Furthermore, the game balance is severely flawed, with multiplier-based builds dominating and effectively forcing players into a narrow range of viable options. This imbalance makes the game increasingly inaccessible and less enjoyable for casual players. Many unique items, despite promising descriptions, prove to be completely ineffective in practice, rendering them pointless to use.
Blizzard team, I urge you to prioritize addressing the current state of the game, including much-needed fixes and a new item and ability overhaul, before introducing new borrowed power systems. I believe a fundamental shift in the gameās approach is necessary at this time. Your history demonstrates a commitment to quality, and I have faith in your ability to bring Diablo 4 up to that standard. The current experience feels uncharacteristic of your past releases. I hope you can take the necessary steps to improve the game.
Persistent bugs like with spiritborns furnace is kind of annoying. At the very least, it need to specify it only works with jaguar base spirit skills and no other skills that are simply given the jag tag
Most of the systems at fault have been redone at least once, some multiple times. Itās not as if they havenāt attempted a remedy, they just donāt know how to.
Thatās a mean thing to say, but it seems to be true. How many games of this stature have so many failed reworks and so many bugs this far into their lifecycle. Usually when thatās the case itās because theyāre abandoned projects.
Rough state? They left that in the rearview mirror a few seasons ago.
It is blatantly a minimal effort to sell battlepasses and cosmetics clown show with no changes to this mindset for the foreseeable future. Mediocrity has become the new success.
nope game is fine, millions are playing on Bnet and D4 is still has a vastly larger fanbase than their competitors. Iām %100 certain the devs have huuuuuge tricks up their sleave which will eventually crush that other game
Nothing to worry about boys, just mention the D4 sales numbers whenever you feel POE cockroaches attempting to nip at our heels. Take solace knowing you wonāt be forced to pay for stash tabs (what a joke lmao)
blizzard wouldnāt refund my voh purchase 4 months before release so Iāve just strait up converted into a fanboy. You can catch me around these parts every POE season cycle to lead the rest of us fanboys in battle against evil GGG!
The improvements in the systems are almost zero. And every season we have 1 new unique. But donāt worry, next season we will have more season powers.
Thatās what theyāve been trying to doā¦ the problem is their focus is MTX sales instead of user experience. Theyāre not good at this thoughā¦ even if they had the right goals, I donāt believe theyāre capable of bringing the game to a healthy state.
Taylor Tomlinson has a joke about being a bad driver and getting pulled over. The officer asks if sheās had anything to drink and she replies, āNo, Officer. THAT was my best.ā Thatās blizzard, today.
I feel, as a casual, that my accessibility to the grocery store is impeded by my woeful condition. I was stricken with Casual around the time of my second childās birth. Im literally a casual-ty of Casual, which you may be inclined to casually wave away as an improper causation but because I feel I have just cause I warn against it. At any rate Id like a tag to hang on my rear view mirror designating me as a Casual Gamer thus entitling me to park closer to the grocery store.
ā¦before introducing new borrowed power systems ā & New Items, Aspects, mechanics etc.
Iāll say it over and over againā¦
We have plenty of toys presently - fix the toys we have and the game at large.
THEN consider adding some new items & features.
I know this upsets folks who neeeed newnewnewnew shiny all the time.
Well, weāve constantly gotten new āthingsā and the hole is getting deeper and deeper.
(Curious where the local chatgp is to explain everything away, your opinion and pov and feelings)
Sir I drive a 2024 Ford F-150 V8 modified to consume 10x more gas than is necessary to operate the vehicle. I can only gain access to the cabin through the use of a rope ladder that automatically drops through the use of a clever motor powered by high octane gasoline and the tears of Elmo from Sesame Street. My license plate reads: CLIM8LOL. The portrait flag of the 45th AND 47th president of the USA that I fly from my truck is so large it could encompass the entirety of Panama. The after market radio I installed blasts Fox Newsā āThe 5ā so loud that I indignantly giggle at every Mexican restaurant I pass out of pure reflex and muscle memory.
The game is in exactly the state that it deserves. Any ARPG that has CO-OP only dungeons as one of the selling points of an expansion will get found out very fast. Cause it just shows how far from the ARPG playerbase the current devs and Blizzard in general are at.
I come here every month just to remind me I did the correct call to leave the game after season 5. And I will NEVER spend money on that crap expansion. Never ever ever.
