Wishlist for d4 i fully understand extending playtime, making things hard to get etc. i dont want a casual game but some changes might be fun here is my list.
-
in game build planner allowing for multiple builds for each class allow switching to a new build from the loading screen. include tips for damage scaling. id pay for this option to be unlocked.
-
After reaching one class to 100 for the season alts start at level 60 with tier 4 fully unlocked. id rather be ran through NMD for glyph XP than capstones. Hardcore gets nothing because they like hardcore.
-
bring back blood harvest it was a great compliment to helltide. maybe allow glyph leveling from blood harvest. variety is what makes the game not feel so linear every season. (dont call it blood harvest)
-
portals at the end of nightmare dungeons so when you are grinding glyph xp or gear you can just keep going without wasting time going back to town. maybe scale dungeons and loots for each portal you have cleared. something like pit but each level is a full nightmare dungeon. allow for a chance a tormented boss sucks you into their realm or an enhanced version of the butcher. more glpyh xp the more friends you bring along.
-
get rid of bad skills in the trees certain specs are just not fun to play and the skills no matter the buff feel clunky Example: upheaval, iron maelstrom, the entire druid class.
-
put a jeweler and occultist in the training dummy area and have one in every major city also including an portable closet so i can fix my weapon skin after trying out something else or better yet let them skins be sticky pick each one so when you swap its already there.
-
less sharding/layer nonsense if im in a group with someone we should see the same trade chat at a minimum. game should not feel like a single player game because it’s not.
-
get rid of tempering instead let people add to the hero maybe the paragon board itself with certain manual drops or similar. i understand extending playtime but switching heroes and selecting from 100 different options and rolling isn’t fun for very long after awhile i dont care about bricking gear i just dont bother with it at all also being locked into a spec that hard makes no sense for extending season gameplay.
-
world bosses should just be rare spawns with no icon or timer on the map and no dedicated position this would make trade chat more fun. make the mechanics actual mechanics that you cant just faceroll dps and win. if not possible because potatoe servers or map shenanigans make the portal to the world boss a rare spawn.
-
Icon letting me know i have sticky target enabled or disabled without guessing. let me also pick certain buffs to put in a special place that make it easier to watch as a console player especially. A little more information in the combat log at-least if something procs and what it was.
-
damage meters at the end of a nightmare dungeon/boss fight who doesn’t like to compare?
