Tree of whispers: you added the crow to redeem it everywhere last season and removed it. Why? only god knows
Helltides: Dammed Queen added and nothing else
The Pit: same thing over and over and over just adding 50 billions more health to enemies + damage. boooooooooring
Tormented bosses: The most updated thing in the game, but will you add malphas to the pool? also add better items to their pool.
All of that would be much more tolerable if I didn’t feel like I am in the back of a school bus with some psycho driving down a rocky shallow riverbed bouncing the fug out of us with no seatbelt on while he is yelling yeee-haw and no end in sight. What the hell are these devs thinking?
Personally I think they have written themselves into a corner with it being Forced Multiplayer in an open world. There are only so many things you can do in the SAME WORLD season after season.
The joke of Different colored Helltides is there because what else will they do? Gotta put the stuff somewhere, and instancing everything goes against the Open World multiplayer design. They have tried on occasion but never return to it.
I suspect that they are stuck in the mud, trying to figure out what it is that it’s fractured player base wants. One group wants to one shot everything, one group wants it to be PoE, one group wants it to be Diablo 2, it’s impossible to please them all and when something they add doesn’t work, they try something else and the problem is none of it works because there doesn’t seem to be an overall vision for what D4 is anymore and it’s sad.
It’s become a mess and it absolutely needs someone to come in with a Vacuum cleaner and suck out all the useless, unneeded mechanics and tighten the experience up.
Remove Herbs, Ore, and any other pointless materials. We Have too many currencies no one cares about
Removing tempering as a system, put that power into a more engaging one. Can redo the Paragon boards to have interesting stats and not “+5 Str/Dex/Int/Will” all over.
Let us level Glyphs outside of pits, I don’t care how. I don’t want to run pits it’s not super engaging
Side quests are all just fluff and really pointless. This is a result of the MMO-Lite nature of the game and we really didn’t need them at all. I think each zone had a somewhat larger overarching side quest, those should be the only ones left in, they at least had a story with them.
The power difference between Level 59 and level 60 is… frankly insane. The power curve needs to be more of a line than a near 90 degree angle. You go from dealing 1k-2k damage to dealing hundreds of thousands, and then millions in a matter of hours once you hit max level and it makes the leveling pretty much feel so pointless by comparison. Flatten that curve out! Leveling to 60 actually feels pretty nice until you realize at 60 it’s all just nothing by comparison. It’s no wonder people want to just get to 60 ASAP.
Get rid of the timers and everything that limits us from playing the game we just want to play.
The whole Nightmare dungeon thing needs a second pass. I honestly couldn’t tell you which dungeon is which, or why there are so gosh darn many of them other than “Look we have 50! We have a lot of stuff!” They all feel so similar to each other for the most part with only a few ones that stand out, and they often stand out because they are the worst ones in each zone.
Yeah it is sad to see the complete neglect when something is not reworked. Just little additions or changes each season would be enough to build trust within the player base.
Cant wait for seasons like Paragon Reborn, NMDs Reborn, Infernal Horde Reborn, Skill Tree Reborn…
