What is the single Biggest Problem with D4?

Fresh post fresh takes they screw something up daily lol

Have you seen POE gen chat… Its no help and is just Trolls 99% of the time. Also having to monitor said chat wouldnt be fun.

I play poe also, having a chat is better than not having it for sure.

I can’t play offline. Hate always online shif.

If the servers were just halfway decent I’d be ok with it but rubber banding and 499ping in a solo dungeon sucks

They said legendaries wouldn’t rain down from the sky like D3 but they still do and orange means nothing. Pro: at least it’s not D3.

Its garbage illusion. Gen chat in POE is hot garbage that no one but trolls and their friends talk in, Are you a troll or one of their friends :wink:

The items aren’t interesting and there are not remotely enough intersting uniques.

I would agree with OP about level scaling which is a nearly game-killing dynamic, but it’s not really something that affects a level 95+ character. Items sucking does tho.

Yea they said paragon boards would be build altering and promised us runes also lol

How do you pick just one?

Ability cooldowns and resource generation leading to extremely clunky gameplay?
The CC obsession leading to extremely clunky gameplay?
Item affixes (especially the CC based ones) being an absolute snoozefest?
The renown MMO chores in the game?
Big empty boring areas?

Yes indeed, toxic folks like you need not open threads or click reply. You are just nasty and cynical.

When I played PoE for a short time and asked questions, I immediately got good responses and invites to clans, along with help. Maybe something about the way you communicate brings the worst out in people? So - do us a favor and close your browser.

bad overall dungeon design that make the major endgame content trash(nm dungeon). no dungeon diversity with annoying mechanic to unlock door and NM dungeon made it even worst with those sigils affix that does nothing but make your dungeon experience even worste. dungeon overall is a big mess and need MAJOR rework. CC is also out of controle and resistance seem broken (does nothing so every elemental attack one shot you)

Mind numbing mini-fetch quests as the core design for 100% of all dungeons. I want fun, interesting and challenging objectives inside dungeons but instead we get things like; “bring rock to pedestal”, “bring 2 rocks to 2 pedestals”, and the ever brilliant “bring 3 rocks to 3 pedestals”.

Scaling didn’t thrill me in WoW so I’ll just go with that. I feel like I’m forever doing around 95% damage to most enemies for the past 20 levels, can’t quite ever make it to where I’m one shotting anything. Feels odd.

Also build diversity sucks right now but I’m sure that can only get better over time.

What’s good? I have like four legendaries at level 41, and an undead army on my necro (bonus skeleton mages and warriors yay!) even though I’m a bone spear build. So it’s nowhere near as retarded as d2 bone spear that never summoned anything.

I haven’t played through the campaign yet so I can’t speak to what “endgame” feels like unfortunately. I just want a damned horse.

LOOT

ALL CAPS LOOT

No reason to hunt, nothing fun to hunt and aspects suck.
I could deal with everything else if the loot was awesome.

Oh boy this is a spicy topic.

For me personally I feel it is the builder/spender system. It makes the whole leveling process feel awful and the effect lasts well into the late game.

Once you reach the end game and get your build to the point that the builder/spender system no longer matters I would have to change my answer to the level to equip items. Completely kills the idea of getting a good drop for an alt, like let me just go and power level an alt to level 100 to use this item that is perfect for them. Yuk!

The grind. And I’m only 64. I’ve put considerable time into this so far, especially for how recently it was released and I have zero clue how anyone is sitting at 70+ with all this talk about 85 being “halfway to 100.” Good grief.

A close 2nd would be not enough options post campaign. Nightmare dungeons are a cool concept, but each dungeon is way too similar to each other dungeon. Suppose I should have seen that coming but it is what it is.

the biggest problem with d4 is that there is no biggest problem.

its a ton of tiny problems that all add up to an extremely annoying experience for players.

each problem on its own doesnt break d4, but there are just so many damn annoying little things all over the game

its death by a thousand cuts
