This patch was objectively necessary for the health of the game.
Remember folks, we are in the pre-season. People in the pre season can clear the hardest content in the game extremely reliably both being Uber Lilith and NM 100.
If this global nerf did not happen it would invalidate the need for seasons, and seasonal mechanics. What is the purpose of Malignant hearts and any future seasonal mechanics when at the base level our classes can already destroy the hardest content in the game?
What would be the point of introducing all these new powers to the game when the end game can easily be beaten already at the base level?
In all honesty they didn’t go far enough with the nerfs, as people still even post nerf can manage to kill Uber Lilith and clear NM100 dungeons easily.
That’s not how you fix the game. If people can beat Uber Lilth and NM100. Give them Ultra Uber Lilth and NM150. They are nerfing everyone because the few % of playerbase beated their game. How is it fair to the rest of the playerbase?
That is literally how you fix the game, what you’re asking is for a D3 “”“solution”“” where you content bloat and add a billion extra world tiers because damage numbers have spiraled out of control.
Why not create harder end game content, instead of punishing those who can’t even get to that extent you speak of? It’s not like we haven’t seen 15 levels of torment difficulties.
I keep seeing the excuse of “for the long term health of the game”. You realize the core gameplay loop they’re pushing only last 3 months then it COMPLETELY RESETS. There literally is no “long term”.
There is “long term” as they will keep tossing out seasonal mechanics with seasonal powers at a regular pace.
However, its been proven that people can beat the hardest content in the game without said powers meaning the need for seasons have been invalidated.
There is no point to play seasons if players can already reliably beat the hardest content with zero seasonal mechanics.
This is literally a patch that exists to improve the long term health of the game.
If you can’t see that you probably also can’t see how exercise can improve your long term health.
Then I can say go play an mmo if u want slow progression. Casual players want to progress through season too. Not everyone is the 1% player base u speak of that can get to Lilith in 5 days. I guess u can tell them to git gud cause game is too easy.
Actually, this post just proves that you know NOTHING about the game mechanics. Absolutely nothing. probably a dev on a burner account.
NOTHING changed fundamentally. Vulnerable is still required (arguably more so) on every piece, CDR is now more required on EVERY piece, sorry that you don’t know sh*t about the game.
You should probably stop playing video games if you want to just auto win.
Sorry that games require you to put in effort and actually be good at them.
Maybe put in a little effort.
If having “fun” means demolishing everything easily while half asleep you should stick to games where you can use cheat engine and give yourself GodMode.
bruh, what happened to sorcs though? why can’t sorcs have any fun or any uniques that aren’t hot garbage? are sorcs just supposed to be a trash class?
