What actually happened to blizzard?

All I see is you completely dodging that question. It’s okay. I know why you’re not answering. You know why you’re not answering. On that note I’ll let you off the leash for the night. Until next time.

4ORD 2 D3EP D

this is all my brain could process and it seemed to calculate in this order.

It can’t be facts… these are very subjective because it will, in part, be based on how you like the combat and also what elements you value in an ARPG.

Of your list (I usually don’t include D1 because it was the baby steps to this genre being fleshed out)

D2(R) >>> D1>D4>D3

Your criticism of it being less bold and being less of a leader are fair criticisms of the game btw. I’m likely not docking it for this like you are because I’d rather have a follower who stumbled badly (D4) than D3 which just missed entirely in my opinion =)

lol You’re getting emotional over the fluff but I get it. I’ve seen so much cope here it’s ridiculous. People like you are the problem and why kids are becoming susceptible to scammers and predatory monetization. Imagine playing an ARPG with no iconic set items or loot that’s Diablo IV. Blizzard managed to ruin the one thing that makes these games enjoyable because their cosmetic store and exploitation of the fandom came first - a free to play model in a $100 game.

That wasn’t emotional… that was being candid and having an honest conversation on the forums o.O

Unlike many in both camps here I essentially got what I thought D4 was going to be (to me, again) a better (more RPG) version of D3 with a better story (which was a LOW bar). I wasn’t expecting some revolutionary game that’d eclipse D2 in the series or GD/PoE in the genre.

Tempest Roar and Ring of Medeln are two examples I gave that are pretty defining items to their classes in D4. Right. there is no Ring of Jordon (until it is an uber unique… ./sigh). Also, as I stated, I do wish they had set items or runewords in the game. That is afailing and is contributing to the itemization and treadmill issues in D4 - no doubt

Wrote this in another thread, explains it fairly well

Suggesting Diablo IV is better than any of it’s predecessors is trolling. Previous entries lead the genre, Diablo IV adopted the worst industry standards and was more of a follower than a leader.

We’ll end here then.

You not accepting that a subjective opinion can’t differ from yours is asinine

You can find information about Blizzard Entertainment on their Wiki page, it has a comprehensive list of details there.

They use to lead the industry and now they follow. Diablo IV is an abomination, imagine playing an ARPG with no iconic set items or loot that’s Diablo IV. Blizzard managed to ruin the one thing that makes these games enjoyable because their cosmetic store and exploitation of the fandom was more important than making a fun game. There shouldn’t be any free to play models in a $100 game. Diablo IV is the most unrewarding experience in the genre because the investors wanted you to be desperate enough to buy cosmetics.

Hi Singu, nice to see that youre still on the forum. Whats your opinion about the current twitch viewers after the strong start with over 100k? Missed you in that thread and im curious about your opinion

Complacency, that’s what happened.
The old talented guys thought everything is allowed, and the new guys who took over after the old ones left/were booted are absolutely incompetent, talentless, uncaring, unmotivated, and lazy. Are they being paid too low? Are they overworked? I don’t know and I don’t care, it’s not my fault if they are, but I am the victim of their utter incompetence and disinterest in the products they’re making.

@Singularity - an ARPG where the focus of the game is LEVELING? LOL.
Even though i didn’t “powerlevel”, care to tell me what exactly is anyone skipping by powerleveling? Do you even know what you must do in the game to level up? Do you even play the game?
Oh, the “powerlevelers” skipped the side quests the likes of “make an emote at a random piece of rock on the other end of the world map”, or “go kill 15 ghosts”.

And “powerlevelers” also did the campaign, and we’re not amused by it. It was as generic as it gets, so much that there’s not a single memorable character in it. Not that D2 story has ever shined with originality, but everyone knows Decard Cain, Tyrael, Gheed, Warriv, Meshiv, Charsy, Izual, Anya…
Oh, and the quests themselves in the campaign - hey, why don’t you walk in a completely empty dungeon for 10 minutes, only to get 4 or 5 “flashbacks” of the BBEG who came where… does anyone even knows when?

I really, really hope you’re getting paid for your titanic efforts to excuse the inexcusable. It’s like I’ve bought a car, and that car is missing its entire engine, and then you come here and say “it’s a you problem, look what nice paint it has, who even buys a car because of the engine?”

Did you really, REALLY write that? Hahaha!
Well, the game might be utterly unplayable, but at least some forum clowns never cease to make me laugh.

Some people have families and work and stuff. Playing catch-up with kids on summer vacation isn’t really an option.
