It wasn’t that long ago that barbarian was in the fractured plane. Now it’s there again. I really really do not like playing this class especially in the fracture plane. Please use all the other classes multiple times before barbarian appears again.
As someone that exclusively plays Barbarian in Diablo Immortal, I understand your sentiment of not particularly enjoying being forced to play classes I have no interest in each time the Fractured Planes rotates which class has been picked. I didn’t like it when they made it Tempest only (for the Tempest release) or Blood Knight only (for the Blood Knight release) and haven’t enjoyed it when it was Necromancer or Demon Hunter. I think Wizard and Crusader are the only ones we haven’t had yet. Surprising that we came back to a class that’s already been picked rather than one of the two that hasn’t been featured yet.
This guy’s going to smash the Like button with a big magic hammer for you…
The random class is not the problem, but fine tuning the mob spawns depending on the class would be a welcome change in the future.
Yesterday, with only some hours left to complete the tasks, I entered the first floor and in there the first room (it was Hell difficulty with 12 floors). So without any essences picked up yet, I was facing a yellow elite and 2 packs of blue elites, which all had homing ranged attacks. Some other white mobs were also thrown into the mix.
And of course, I was obliterated. So much, that I barely made it past that room with low health, while also using up all my revives. Suffice to say, I failed on floor 1, which had never happened before, since the introduction of this event.
I did another run after that, which I could complete successfully, but it really pissed me off, that the other run wasn’t hard as it should be, but straight up unfair.
I’d prefer they reverted back to the older system where you play your own class exclusively. Trying to adapt to an unfamiliar class and skill setup is a bit too much hassle for the reward.
With that in mind I’ve already decided to forgo clearing the 12th floor objective of the current FP. Again. Yes, that means I don’t get 40 points for the Infernal Trials event and I’m knowingly risking the chance that I don’t get all the rewards. However by my calculations there should be just enough from the other objectives that I do get them all.
Yeah I find the first floor usually highly frustrating until some essences can be grabbed. Starting off bare is like throwing a kid in a pool and hoping they learn to swim.
Tried this once. 2 minutes of frustration were enough to convince me that I won’t play this if it’s not my class.
A vain attempt by the company to force us to try other characters. Sorry, ain’t gonna happen.
Well… Maybe it’s because I am a “multiclass” player, with 5 different characters (one of them being a Barbarian, true), but other than the first 2 levels in Hell difficulty, I had no problems to complete the FP in Standard (9 levels), Hell (12 levels) and 3 more in Standard to get the “Complete 24 levels” goal. The only goal I missed is the one about killing 200 elite monsters. After all 24 levels, I was still missing something like 60-80 to kill and decided that it’s not worth it to do new runs for just 4 points.
But this is just me. Some people will go through hours of PvP events to get the same amount of points, I don’t do PvP and I kind of enjoy FP for the most part, so… To each their own
