This we’re making changes for players 1 enjoyment at the cost of players 2 enjoyment is ridiculous.

Player 3 has entered the game.
Also you aren’t wrong, I wouldn’t necessarily say more game modes in the sense of Eternal vs Seasonal mind you, but definitely more options for the content we do have to alter to your specifications.

My kneejerk reaction is that all these people that want to blast for a week and oneshot everything would love a story mode.

Or a zero to hero mode.
Or they just want what they’re asking for.

Wrong. They are making changes for 1 players enjoyment at the cost of players 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and 10 enjoyment. They only want 10% to get to tier 4. Imagine what happens if they suceed. They are writing their own game obituary if they do. Crazy. There was a better way like mind cages.

I would agree in so far as this achieves a pretty similar type of thing. And because it has different perspectives associated to it then it likely wouldn’t lead to the debate we see now.
I don’t think we’d all be here having the rest of this char / env power balance debate if they hadn’t already let t4 shift into a faceroll.
Now leaving people to feel something is being taken away from them that they once had and developed attachment to. Bit of a mess for Blizz to manage comms on, but they ultimately made the decision to let t4 become the faceroll it has been of late.
What arguments were being put forward for that speeding up I wonder.

Titan Quest has Exalted Hero where you start at an appropriate level of the expansion you choose. Originally it was only you could start at 40 at the 2nd expansion but when they added a third expansion that was strictly for the hardest difficulty you started at 80 and they even gave you a full set of gear that had -exp gains.

Is more modes we need? Or more depth in the modes that already exist?

How many player do they want to reach pit 150?
What is wrong with the most difficult mode being difficult? That doesnt bother me, it makes sense.

Apparently the world is gonna end… at least people here act like it is.
Afraid of a challenge. Afraid of change.
The only thing I wish the Devs of D 4 would of done is KEPT the game difficult in the 1st place.
Then those who play the game woudln’t be so lazy as in to get everything falling from the SKY like they have these past Few SEASONS.
I guess they need/better get back into shape by playing the game,
but for “Real’zies” this time.
Absolutely nothing. It only is a problem if they lock content or season journey steps behind torment 4. People are concerned they will do that based on the current season. They haven’t said anything one way or another yet.

That would help - I have about 100 hours to give to the game in a season - as season 8 stands I will probably achieve about half of what I achieved in S7 - that means the game will feel unsatisfactory and less rewarding for me. If the dev’s want to slow me down, then give me rewarding and fun stuff to do in game so my 100 hours per season are enjoyable.
However, in all honesty I don’t think it will happen Having been told in the campfire that my experience doesn’t matter to them, because I’m in 90% just sucks - and the S8 changes just bear out that attitude out - if it stays the same this is the first season I won’t buy the battle pass.

Shall we have the OP play in Zyklon B?
if you are right then the 10 per cent who are the elite will save the game and the customer base will be huge if on the other hand the 90 percent that aren’t valued might just go and you may look forward to maintenance mode till D5 when the metric show not enough ppl for resources expended. i guarantee if he numbers go down and the viewrship goes down all but the real enthusiast streamers for D4 will be gone, Well is dry.
disrespecting your fellow players like you are a nobel prize winner in an PVE game means the customer base is smaller and you don’t get to be the 10 per cent it will be only the 1 percent can enter.
A smarter move would have been to lock the difficulty in mind cages in T4 and have it alacart pick your own difficulty for each content or boss after al all they have done is factored by 1000 the HP and damage of the boss it ain’t POE 2 clever mechanics.
or my preference a T5 Hardcore insta death with the majority yellow and blue drops as S8 is now, the bosses overtuned like this but with the boss powers reduce by 3/4 and a leaderboard to see who really is the 10 percent. you can play for realzies.
Ohhh, you know so well.
Dude, you’ll (and everybody else) will get into torment 4. The boss powers are OP.
You have ways to reach that difficulty, it’s called playing in a group.
It seems you have plenty of suggestions, go ahead and fill out an application.

This is not correct. We need challenge. No challenge is boring game. Nobody is contesting game was to easy. We are contesting how they fixed it. Its the wrong approach.
Right approach is not making T4 at 10% aspirational. Something around 50% like they said it is now. Then do mind cages, updated AoZ, harder horde mode on a 12 wave, ect.
There are so many routes to this that make sense other than telling 90% of your base to get rekt. T4 not for u. Most loots not for u. Most xp not for u. Maxed glyphs not for u. Ect. Its a bonkers approach guaranteed to backfire gamewise and business wise.
This 10% thing is 100% going to be changed before S8. They cant let this go on.

Urza, could you just TRY IT for a season before you start boohoo-ing like the atmosphere is gonna collapse in and we’re all going to be facing the rapture? Just calm your butts, man.
Let’s see what it’s like for 3 months. We played one-button-clears-the-screen for 3 months. Let’s try it a different way.
We get it: YOU think mindcages would be great. Many of us don’t. They’re not using mindcages for Season 8. It’s not happening.
So just buckle up and go in with an open mind.
You may shock yourself and find you’re part of the 10%. … … or, more likely, you may find that Blizz severely overestimates their tuning and way more than 10% end up in T4.
Grab a paper bag and take a few big breaths before Subdriver arrives and tells you you’re disappointing your mother or something.
