Post the biggest middle finger you feel from the devs.
This thread is intended to let the community show the ways they feel slighted.
DONT REPOST A TOPIC- If someone else has mentioned your topic already- Like that post instead.
Lastly; Try to take a breath and articulate rather than spew vitriol (I’m the biggest offender here so I’ll take two breaths.)
For example, and for me
The biggest middle finger I perceive is balancing. I was told “play it your way” before purchasing, and it turns out its “play the way the accountants at Maxroll prescribe.”
further “play where you are pigeonholed” They are clearly trying to make the world more loot and XP friendly, so i will hold off on complaint there, however in NM dungeons- do a tier too low or too high and it is weirdly clunky or difficult, but if you play where the game wants you to, then it rolls on smoothly…
It is definitely NOT play your way… its play how devs or the accountants tell you.

If you are using a build site for your build rather than learning the class or any of the 30+ builds for each class properly then the issue is purely on you. Those builds from Maxroll etc are trash and will never be as effective or strong as a build you make yourself.

“Your expectations are too high.”
“It’s been a month, D3 had 10 years.”
Rod out here acting although D4 hadn’t been in development hell for 8 years. That it wasn’t the reason he was brought on in 2020 with his industry reputation of being a ‘closer.’
Peak comedy.

Honestly, the play your way, is the biggest middle finger. I can think of because it encompasses everything wrong with the game.
-play your way nope farm hell tides for gear.
-play your way nope farm nm d for xp.
-play your way nope pick up every yellow so you can respec
-play your way nope you cant afford to try that build.
-play your way nope spend days farming gold till you just don’t even want to try any new builds because of how much a pain in the side the process is for paragon and skill point tree with no load outs.
-play your way nope you don’t have stash space to hold those items to try a new build.

They’re approaching it like the player base is a bunch of below average IQ gamers, which it is, but I don’t think they expected the hardcore community to run them into the ground on social media.

I couldn’t care less about streamers. It’s still factually correct what I said about the maxroll builds. They are designed for casual players who can’t play the game or more than an hour a week and are designed for 4-man dungeon speed farming, they are not designed or solo, hardcore or NMD’s. They are designed around some random person’s preference and playstyle, not yours.
A build you make yourself, around your playstyle - once you understand the class and build you are going for will ultimately do more damage and be harder to be killed than any of those cookie-cutter builds.
Literally so dumb it hurts my brain

OMG does it really lose all your renown progress in hc when you die? Wow i was shocked yesterday i made my first hc and i was really surprised you don’t even get Lilith statue progress.
No… it does not. But you have to do then once on HC, and once on SX
Quit the game when I realized there is literally no way to make minions do viable damage (no, the janky Ring of Mendeln does not count) because they are not fundamentally supported. And also when I realized that blighted CE does not scale with shadow damage gear, despite doing shadow damage and fitting into the darkness spec. Meanwhile bone spear is doing like 10x more damage than other builds with more aspect and item support.
These are just such fundamental basic issues in balancing and game design that you can’t have any faith that the devs know what they’re doing. You have to have some faith that the devs understand the mechanics of their game and if you spend time learning it you will be rewarded. And that there are interesting things you can figure out by playing the game and trying out different specs. There is nothing to learn or master in this game, you just play the 1-2 static builds they proscribe for you with the uniques and aspects they give you and actually support and everything else is a broken afterthought.
No itemization to search for, no economy to build in, no social aspects, no interesting PVE content, PVP is a broken one-shot fest, now they’re undermining the integrity of the game allowing bugged drops to remain. People say the combat is good but they’re getting caught up in the graphics and sound design, the mechanics are actually pretty much trash. The camera is too zoomed in, the characters get stuck on terrain and stutter a lot, it isn’t fluid and there’s limited skill expression, limited kiting, limited ranged gameplay. Tons of monsters with undodgeable attacks which turns the game into mobile-style gear benchmark of one-shot or be one-shot. That’s not good combat design. It’s just a clownshow start to finish, game is worse than New World.
But of course people will be like: “well why do you care?”. Because I like the diablo universe and IP, and I want it to be good. D2 was my favorite game for years, and so was D3 for quite a while. Unfortunately Blizzard owns the IP and they only make dumpster fires now, so the universe and IP are being wasted by talentless hacks.

If the character you progressed renown on / altars die now, you can’t login when the patch come and you won’t get the progress
You are everything that is wrong with the internet and it probably makes you very happy to be such a social vampire.

Maybe im wrong, but that was kinda funny.
Lack of anything for reward for leveling up or difficulty. Is the one problem that if not fixed makes this game forever and always garbage.
