Why did you stop playing S6?

Did not buy VoH because D4 was ongoingly crashing/ freezing/ disconnecting in S5.
Started playing in S6 eternal without VoH, no problem with freeze/crash/disconnect, so started to consider buying VoH.
Then quickly got bored and frustrated with backwards move submitting the 2 Pilars of character progression, items power and paragon board, to heavy and meaningless RNG and limitations (5 boards ? Ancestrals,…), killed most of the fun,
No way I will pay for more of this, even with a new class and region… and now freezes and disconnects are back.
So keep on playing in eternal with “low budget”, from time to time, to see how it goes.
Legacy characters (sorceress and necro) 60/267, all items 12/12 but only one has maxed aspect, and only one has more than 1 GA.

I didnt buy VoE and this season is so damn boring, realmwalker is just not fun at all.
Imo dont think blizzard learn anything at all lol.
Im having more fun playing D3 :smiley:
Not sure im going to return for s7 or buy anything from blizzard again.
Good luck to everyone who is still playing or move on.

64

I’m still playing until I hit my goal of paragon 300.
Just taking a short break and playing the new season of D3.

65

I still continue play S6, as I can do more in this season. More loot drops not equal to better season. In S5 loots raining from sky, but what ever build I make from the god tier gears I just use it in the boring Hordes like a Hamster Wheel. The Pit was not playable in S5 as the boss HP was bugged.

66

I play very little now because:

  • WW itself is still terrible
  • Undercity rewards are bugged to hek and back, at least for me
  • Good 2GA+ ancestrals are too rare, it’s pointless farming them.
  • Trying to trade for 2GA+ items is insanely expensive and could possibly be duped
  • Tempering said 2GA+ items is most likely to result in a brick even after using the scroll of retempering
  • Farming blood maiden is pointless, you just stand there and wait for a SB to do everything (not hating on SB, but it does get a bit boring just standing around and waiting)

I “stopped playing” because streamers said there’s nothing left this season after they hit Paragon 300 with the perfectly balanced Spiritborn.

Nah, I’m still playing since I’m on my favorite class, Rogue. Currently at Paragon 279, so I’ve got a ways to go before 300.

68

I’m a very casual player. 2 reasons

  • just not as fun as last season (can’t explain why)
  • only bought the expansion on console, so pc version is without the new class and area, so I just play other games on steam instead

Broad strokes, progression slowed down too much and I ran out of things to do.

Digging into that, I completed the season journey, I did 50x undercity. There were no more long tail rewards to work on (other than para300 which was way way too slow) and because of tuning no point playing another class to let the gameplay feel fresh.

Still playing, both my rogue and SB in T4. Think it helps that I was already paragon 180ish and knocking on the door of T4 on my rogue before starting the SB, so I’m not really bothered by the power disparity. My only real gripe with the season is the ancestral legendary drop rate for aspects.

71

i play SB. I do all content in 30 hours and 1 week. All T4 content (IH, Kurast, DC, différents Boss…) and Pit 100. Im dont want to push Pit more, there is no leaderboard, the Pit in his actually form is boring AF, justa dps check.
So, the SB OP bored me.

72

I stopped playing after reaching paragon level 300 last week. Completed pretty much everything and only thing missing is pit 150 and not going to bother with it. Now im doing other things and will be back at S7.

73

I’ve never played S6 because of no content for people who don’t own VoH so D4 is currently uninstalled until I feel like playing it again one day

74

SSF Spirit Wave Necro here.

Still playing for now, para 260 and managed a pit 93 with 2.5 mins remaining.

Current bottleneck for me is gold for MW’ing.

Going forward my main concern is been forced out of the game and onto a third party trade site in order to remain competitive.

SSF players really feeling the nerf to IH’s gold chest and overall drop rates this season.

I’ll keep going until I hit my personal targets for the season;

  • max glyphs (all around 80-84 atm)
  • all gear 12/12 with at least 2 hits on preferred stat
  • clear pit 100.
75

I agree about the ancestral drops but I’m still playing. Still have 3 chasses to level :slight_smile:

Crashes, lags, broken game mechanics - hello to the spark with Lilith. Play yourself.

77

I’ve posted in a similar thread, but figure I’d add my reason here as well so maybe Blizzard wakes up. I was about 80 hours into the season when I stopped logging in. I think I’m paragon 240, no reason for me to grind to 300. I hadn’t found an upgrade in a week after countless hours of various activities at the time. The end game loop is still very much lacking, something I’ve mentioned in every survey or chance I get. Compared to other games in the genre that are seasonal, I put in 150-250+ hours a season. Midseason patch also seems like a waste. Why come back?

since S4 everything went downhill imo.
Droprates, balance, capped paragon boards, nerfs, caps
everything feels lazy and boring and kills the potential the game actually has

79

I was working on my second and third Rogue alts after season completion. After the ‘Hunky Dory’ campfire chat, I just couldn’t anymore. Going to pop over to DI finish my campaign I started, explore Enshrouded (maybe Soul Mask) and I’ll return in S7 to see what’s what…again.

I stopped weeks ago because there was virtually no gear upgrade path. To have the same garbage quality items drops regardless of the difficulty shows that the “devs” still have no clue on how to get the loot right in this game. Creating more and more ways to get the same garbage is nothing other than creating more and more garbage level gameplay.

‘Why did you stop playing S6?’
Simple, two reasons, 1) the seasonal theme is really not all there, and 2) the only class to play is the SB and I have played every build and am finished. The other classes are so underpowered it is pointless to play them as it is difficult to get them even to complete a Tier 80, so it literally takes forever to level up your glyphs as these classes are so underpowered. I have tried playing the other classes and they are so underpowered, it really is pointless and no fun. Mid season does not seem to fix this as the class updates are really underwhelming, so I think I will sit out until next season, if it is any better.
