I think it might have happened just once in the first launch patches. But since blizzard still designs the game for blasters there’s always been something crap about just playing the game.
Whatever circumstance i’ve returned to im shocked im enjoying this game so much without reservation. With the fact i’m playing in eternal:
- The current balance of a named mob + high health mobs every few pulls is SO good. Its perfect. This is how you feel powerful. Blizzard like disney forgot that if the bad guy is weak you don’t feel powerful when you beat it. Its compounded perfection that i actually feel like ultimate abilities have a purpose and i feel good about choosing one. Shrines also are looked forward, instead of just the fear conditioning about the horde trigger if you’re unlucky enough. Guess what, GEAR out of all things i look forward to because… yeah the difficulty balance of hard on eternal is great. Or maybe i’m just going through a bubble at level 34.
- Feels so good to be unlocking the battle pass doing what i want. The blizzard pressure checklist for them to farm engagement metrics isn’t there. I log in, do whatever i want, and the battle pass cosmetics unlock. Finally at a comparable rate. So good. The season specific cosmetics are so bad this time around im glad to not even have the possibility of unlocking that on my account. Go blizzard art team.
So could it be that the full game is balanced to include seasonal powers, so if they aren’t there it just so happens that eternal is a bit harder? Yeah keep doing this blizzard.
And make the cosmetics back to the bounty of history not d3. But yeah just keep the gameplay the same i’ll be fine not having to buy any more cosmetics. I can live with that.
