I mean Blizzards aims with this game wider audience, yes? Then why don’t they make better environment to achieve that goal? Why do they set one rules for one audience only and screw the other audiences? We are 2024 and every modern aRPG includes SSF mode or some kind of Ruthless mode to the ppl who enjoy slower progression.
The way they do it only makes either the whole community not satisfied, or the half of it at least…Like they divide us intentionally lol. Just create more Game Modes so everyone can find their place and pace and enjoy the game at peace!
Me personally I view aRPG genre as an example more towards D2, and D4 progression is “little” too fast to me and with S4 will be even faster… For me i cannot process to play more of that one character who doesn’t get xp progression anymore. My opinion is that aRPGs shouldn’t work like that, but i also know that there are ppl who don’t view it like this and the solution to that, if you want to keep us both or more type of players - is to create more Game Modes!
Isn’t your Moto “Diversity is power”? Then create more diversity Game Modes!

Blizzard should just create one single extra game mode: Offline Mode.
Then the rest might follow.

I mean, why isn’t there a group finder in a group meta game? There are a lot of these questions.

Could you give examples of what game modes you would like in particular? So far we’ve established a SSF mode, which would just be more of a “Can’t Trade and/or Group” mode in D4, it’s an open world after all, they wouldn’t change that.
Also what is a Ruthless mode exactly? Curious about this one.
Any other modes you would like or give examples of?

Me personally entire SSF mode with SSF only ppl leaderboards(It is not the same as what we have now!) And some kind of Ruthless mode from PoE and combined → SSF Ruthless mode
Also what is a Ruthless mode exactly? Curious about this one.
It is a mode where the leveling progression is much slower, the items rarer and the mobs harder. Overall harder mode. Which it can create leveling leaderboards and can be much more fun that way, at the beginning of a new season! Of course this modes will be only a option so i don’t see who is gonna be hurt if this will be implemented!
And there are ppl who want full unlock trade features. So they can have Trade mode with AH for example, but I’m no fan of trading so i cannot speak there much, but i don’t mind to have such one!

If you want a game more like D2, I have good news for you… you can go play D2.
Probably because they’re still building the “foundation” of the game
As far as I’m concerned definitely, 2 more mods:
Are mod additions I’m always welcoming 
I like the ssf with leveling nerf and leaderboards idea….then add lose xp on death.
Probably what i would play
Depends on implementation from game to game
- PoE had scarcity of items yes, and mobs had more damage
- LE had a similar mode (pre-Alpha) called “masochist mode” where your character started really gimped (100% less damage and -50% on all resistances - including Stun Res which basically meant every hit taken was a hit-stun really)
- GD has “veteran” mode where mobs and elites gain like 10x HP and about double the damage (but that can be overcomed via advanced hard-hitting sockets available early as well as various potions for buffing)
In D4 I’d imagine that being something along the lines of mobs always being +[7-8] levels and 30% less Core Damage (or at least AoE), along with mob evolution traits say starting around lvl35 in game
What’s wrong with you? Maybe i want to fresh my aRPG experience with different game, but to have some similarities with D2 progression? How can you be so ignorant and how is my proposal against something you enjoy the game as of now? It won’t affect you in any way, but only increase the doors for other people who want to play it in different way, bc aRPGs are a niche type of games…
Also they said at pre-release of the Game that they gonna take influence on both games D2 and D3, but as of now only D3 is taken as priority. I’m suggesting them options to bring more audience that are not happy with the D3 approach!

People are asking for new game mode because they are bored with the current one. Once the new game mode is introduced they’ll be bored with that one as well in ten minutes. You just don’t entertain people with short attention spam. These are the same type of people who can stay on tiktok for weeks on end.
Yep, totally agree. Make it happen Blizzard.
What’s wrong with me is I don’t want them wasting time on nitpicky requests when they’re still so far from getting the main game to where it should be. I hope they hurry up and learn the lessons they learned in D2 and D3, to make their new ideas better/good. However, they don’t have time to spend on copy/pasting crap from those games. D4 should be a new game with new better ideas.
i don’t think that SSF or ruthless is possible with scaling system.
But i do think that we truly need 2 leagues with full open trading(and w/o smart loot) and league w/o trading basically SSF and with smart loot.
Solo offline mode please, so we can play the game our way hehe. Imagine what could be with mods and trainers…god mode/ power fantasy, character swaps (e.g. playing Druid with the body of a skinny Necro or buff Barbarian), add all uniques and Ubers to inventory, modify affixes, camera tool for photos, etc.
