What kind of game has Diablo 4 become?

What kind of game has Diablo 4 become?

In a game that artificially tries to keep you in the game as long as possible to get a little something?
ask:
Why haven’t they eliminated the error of getting shining sparks by making new characters, and doing the wolves campaign?
Why haven’t they eliminated the error of using codex functions from other classes?

When has it been seen that in an RPG you can use functions of a class that is not yours?

blizzard are geniuses at keeping you in the game
What they should do instead of allowing all this is to do their job well optimizing classes, damage, resistances and other functions of both the player and the enemies, for that you pay and offer them your time playing their game.

this game has become a joke
Now for example, to get an elixir, you must go one hour to the infernal tide to get 200 herbs and angel breaths, to buy 4 elixirs.

This is like if you go to the baker, and to buy bread you have to bring him the flour so that he can make the bread and you can buy it. This is Diablo 4 right now.
They changed the material system just to keep you in the game longer.

I’ve been playing Diablo 4 since the first season and this is the worst season.
They took the same campaign system from Blood Season 3 and turned it into a farming season.

If this is what they want to convert to diablo 4, then we will have to wait for a real arpg like PoE 2

How you could possibly say this season is bad compared to S0 or S3 is insanity. IMO

Something a lot more fun than it ever was before season 4.

Hopefully they’ll keep up the fun and if not, i’ll just skip seasons like i skipped S 2 & 3.

S2 was the best season besides 4 you missed out. But then you skipped 3 and COMPLETELY REDEEMED YOURSELF!!

yes, but at least there is a “shifted meta” system which some players love. why to botter thinking what build to play? watch what devs said is current “shifted meta” and play it, you will have full support from devs on that build.

Well in S2 & 3 i was in my “Minions suck i will wait until they are fixed” phase.

But even now in S4, the way i want to play Minions does not work, Which is sad. I would not another ability slot for that.

So i am enjoying barbarian atm

aren’t you like the “shifted meta” system or what?

Some people just want to be able to explode stuff with lightning for 5 minutes between incessant questions from their kids about if they know some new rapper or youtuber they have never heard of and don’t care anything about.

It is slowly becoming an Arcade game, more reminiscent of stuff like Altered Beast.

And, there’s nothing wrong with that, at all. However, D4 was marketed as a game for casual and hardcore players alike. So, hardcore players have every right to be upset about how the game “evolved”.

Well it depends. If you are looking for a brainless Cakewalk of a game that throws loot at ya, well then S4 is the best.

If you are looking for a coherent and challenging Dungeon crawler S4 is the worsed.

Honestly i feel the same. Yes there have been incredible good changed to the game in seasons 4 but what is it worth if the game itself turnes into a braindead clickfest.

Sorry but that is not the game i am looking for, D4 is almost as engaging as an idle game.

Are you sure people with that many responsibilities should be playing video games?

I get that but from a shear content and things to do perspective you cant compare S4 to S0 or S1. S0 made getting to 100 an endgame activity. It was a slogfest multiplied. For me something taking longer doesnt equal harder or more mindful. Its a 3 month rotation. Things have to happen fast.

That being said I am not trying to sound like I am opposed to more interesting and involved dungeons that are harder or more layered or any of that. It would be awesome. I want more too do, always. I can only gauge the quality of the content of the season by when I get bored and quit and S0 1 and 3 I couldn’t even get to level 80 on a main. Season 3 was a day and a half and I was done…

A far better game than at launch.

I dont recall anyone saying that was an error

I have never seen this.

I have never seen this in game.

Most elixers drop in helltides. I rarely have to craft. The holy bolt is very resource heavy, so I make sure to only use it when running high end pits. Resource management is important in every arpg as is farming. If it isnt farming resources for crafting its farming gear and weapons for the right stats. Kind of goes with the genre.

You are in the minority on that one. S1 was by far the worst. And there has been far more player retention in this season than before.

POE2 is looking awesome. Cant wait to play it either.

I love D3 but let’s be honest. D3 is cake. I thought D4 wanted to be better than D3 but it’s starting to look like cake too.

Yeah i also enjoyed D3, but if D4 starts to be too much like d3, ill just play d3 where we have no monetization anymore.

One single legion in WT4 nets you 1000 herbs. It takes 3 minutes to complete. You do not have to do helltide for an hour for 100 herbs…
