The raven in the tree should store whispers instead of claiming them. This way you don’t waste time going through loot while you are out and about, and then when you have time to claim you can claim multiple caches at once…
Using the Raven in the Tree gives you the Cache, and not the contents of the Cache. This way you can freely pursue other Whispers and collect more Caches until you think you have enough to take time off to open them all.
You should be able to store whispers, period. Its always annoying to go back to the tree, because you just reached your 10 whispers, especially in helltide or when farming whispers in the pvp areas. Sometimes i wonder if the devs are missing the basics. When developing a game, you should always ask 2 questions? Is it fun? Will it break the game? So is it fun to have a limit on whispers? No. Will it break the game to remove the limit? Not that i can think of. Same with inventory management in general. If i have to run back constantly to town to sell my stuff, it breaks the gameplay and is not fun. So either give me bigger inventoryspace, less, but more meaningfull loot, or the option to sell/scrap it, without having to go back to town.
Witch doctor imho us the best class when doing pet builds, even better then necromancer. It’s so satisfying to see that wave of fetish minions just go out, swarm enemies and mow them down.
honestly I think that old classes like witch doctor, paladin and demon hunter will be sold in small class DLCs, like that give you a class, maybe it's specific quest which you need to do to unlock them (think of seasonal quests) it's uniques, aspects etc, while new classes would be added with expansions @@kaygetsbusy
Okay okay we gonna nerf the Spiritborn ... and then we'll nerf the sorcerer even more so Spiritborn is still the best class so we can sell more expansions. Mwahahaha
They absolutely nerfed the crap out of SB - the Kepeleke nerf alone reduces their damage by a factor of 6. That's means reduced damage to 17% of what it was supposed to be. Then the bugs they have fixed were giving massive multipliers as well. Their overall damage will be a fraction of 1% of what it was. So reduced by several orders of magnitude. I like Sorcs but the changes made sense - literally every build used FB enchant at some point - except for actual fire builds for whom it was useless. And this way it actually buffs fire builds. I would be surprised if there aren't other changes buffing to make up for it (e.g. BL getting its new uniques plus a new legendary power to replace Grav).
All I want is scroll to remove 1 masterwork rank on an item. Getting something like “percentage for projectile to cast twice” on your 12th rank is murder lol
It's been asked for and needed for a long time, Sorc will need compensatory buffs for sure, and they may be weak initially in PTR if not buffed enough; but they absolutely needed freeing from all builds being firebolt/DB
Doesn't matter. It might be weaker if they don''t compensate enought, but at least you will have one more enchantment slot which was previously always used.
@@marsovacit wasn't a problem that we HAD to use friebolt, but that there was no other valid option for any build. there is one good enchantment for each type of a build, but not 2. it is how lame these powers are that we were forced to use firebolt
Great video, as always. Honestly, at this point, announcements kinda fall flat these days by D4 team. Whether they by a fireplace or not. They honestly just lost me.
That's the spirit. I will also play both. Nothing wrong with providing feedback and criticisms to Diablo 4 just as long they will improve the game over time.
My head is still spinning from the poe2 presentation. Honestly dont know where i will find the time for d4 season 7 but for those who will play it i hope its cool.
It was incredible. It looks like what i always wanted from a modern Diablo game. I think this is going to be tough for Blizzard to compete with honestly even with a massively loved franchise like Diablo. Could hope it lights a fire under Blizzard's ass, but maybe the better question is if they even have the competence to actually compete? Maybe they will just lean further into the brain rot zoomzoom gameplay and cling to it as their "niche"". Im a huge Diablo fan and i don't mean to hate on the game, but honestly PoE2 has opened my eyes to how much the D4 team has missed the mark on so many things and it's just so disappointing.
It will be interesting to see player numbers for season 7 with POE2 out. I'd imagine it's going to be significantly lower. The games aren't even in the same stratosphere from what we can see from the preview today.
Well I think we can all agree that D4 is for casual players and knowing now that poe 2 is pretty much as complex as poe I dont see those super casuals trying to learn all that.
@jf2849 i think there's quite a bit more crossover between these games than people realize. Sure there's a bunch of super casuals that didn't play POE, have no clue about POE2. But for anyone that loves ARPGs... it's like, actual fun end game, challenging bosses, rewarding crafting systems. Diablo 4 has none of those. They full launched a game that wasn't ready, buggy, with little to no meat on the bone. I think we'll see quite a bit more people switch over when it's available in 2 weeks.
PoE2 seems to be reskinned PoE1, all the same mechanics just improved a little bit. I don't see how anyone who prefers D4 or LE or GD or TL is going to switch to PoE2 at this point. People already made their choice, PoE2 is just going to splinter the PoE fanbase.
Hopefully they change a few more druid buffs, it is on the right track - to me the meta that I have to be in all forms is silly. I would like be either Bear, wolf or Human, not to switch between all 3 to maximize damage.
Finally getting the armory. Still remember all those who were saying that an armory would be terrible and would ruin the game. Being able to use more builds will just increase how long I play each season for. Now just waiting for a loot filter.
D4 was an early access release in all but name. The game has really only hit what i would consider 1.0 in season 6. I was really very hopeful that they would announce some kind of end game progression, but alas, expectations dashed, disappointment with D4 continues. The game is in a good place, its fun, the loot is fixed, the progression systems have been majorly overhauled and i don't not like them. But GGG just did their big reveal on POE2 today and outlined all the endgame activities we will be able to partake in. Come on Blizzard! Pushing pit and grinding paragon is not enough.
As a huge diablo fan and supporter and a person who was NEVER interested in poe1 mainly coz of awful visual design i should say - PoE2 looks WAY more interesting and complete than d4. It wasn’t Spiritborn who was broken - it was THE WHOLE GAME and the rest of roster broken for 3 seasons in a row. Starting from season 4 not a single class could ever came close to clearing highest pit level - how is this possible? Why are you even having content in the game which is mathematically impossible to complete? You can’t do maths? Turned out the Spiritborn are the only properly working class and ironically - by a mistake. Why are every season you have to guess - will my character be playable in the endgame or will i suck and forced to start anew? Why in 6 seasons they can’t came up with the concept of adjusting your own difficulty and enemies/loot modifiers for open world, while having the biggest open world in whole genre? Why we still doesn’t have a way to RELIABLY farm the gear we need? Yeah you can farm mythics and uniques but for legendary - forget about it. Honestly i just tired, D4 isn’t a “simple and casual” it’s simply lame and lacking very crucial features
One single POE2 endgame mechanic is going to be more fun and rewarding than the whole D4 endgame. I briefly came back to D4 for the last 2 seasons to see if they could turn it around after spending a few season learning POE1. I haven't even watched this video to see what's coming, i don't care anymore, they weren't even able to implement things that made their old games good and i suspect they are just going to keep drip feeding some of that (eg an armoury that they developed 15 years ago) to D4 over several years, to try and cling on to engagement. Since the POE2 teaser it has simply reminded me that D4 bad, and I don't think anything short of diablo 5 (and actually being good) is going to change that
It makes no sense to me how such a large dev team could make such a lifeless and bland game. PoE looks so much better than Diablo and it's going to be Free2Play? Diablo just feels like an oversized mobile game. No depth, no immersion, just hold forward and watch flashy lights.
@@Titus.The_Crucifier Imortal was saying the quiet part out loud. the dev team didnt make a game, they made an advert for the in game store and try and keep you watching it for as long as possible. all the good mechanics from previous games were ditched so players would ask for them back and they could look like they were listening. an armoury was such an obvious choice considering how little stash space you have and how many different items you get which basically become junk if they arent for your current build. yet the game was so empty that leveling alts was a way to artificially drag out play time. They knew an armoury was relevant because they implemented one, to switch between your $20 skins on your alts. the skins are so obviously geared towards certain builds as well, playing with an ice mage skin on a fire character? thats silly, better get a fire skin too, and generic ones will cater to people who will only buy one skin
isn't that a shame for blizzard how a F2P game- POE2 outshine D4 in every possible way- do you know why that is- because GGG care about their game and their community- i rly hope that blizzard watch the presentation of POE2 and learn something- i'm rly sick and tired to watch/hear how the next season of D4 will be "the best" when the core game is meh and boring asF- it is mind mind boggling to me how instead of improving and create something new/exiting they just tune it down and make it to be just like D3- and every time with a empty promises that next season/expansion it will be better but their battlepass is top notch- it is rly sad
"Starting from season 4 not a single class could ever came close to clearing highest pit level - how is this possible? Why are you even having content in the game which is mathematically impossible to complete? You can’t do maths?" That was intended, to give people something to strife for and to brag about, if you manage to clear a higher pit than most people. Its for long term gameplay, that way you dont have to adjust the difficulty of your content every time power creep happens. D3 had the same with the rift system. "Why are every season you have to guess - will my character be playable in the endgame or will i suck and forced to start anew?" All characters are endgame viable, though not every build. When in doubt, just wait a few days until people have figured out the tierlists of the season. "Why in 6 seasons they can’t came up with the concept of adjusting your own difficulty and enemies/loot modifiers for open world, while having the biggest open world in whole genre?" Well you can, thats what torment levels are for. What you are asking for is basically adding a dozen more Torment levels into the game. They went that route in D3. Its not the worst way to go but personally i would be more happy, if they cut back on the powercreep, so that the existing difficulty settings remain challenging. "Why we still doesn’t have a way to RELIABLY farm the gear we need? Yeah you can farm mythics and uniques but for legendary - forget about it." Because you would be done with you char in a few dozen hours and would start crying, that there is nothing left to do? You can get tons of legendaries in a short amount of time and you will have pretty quickly most of them at ancestral level. Year, you will probably never find all you ancestrals with 3-4 strong affixes but those should be very rare and not handed out like candy.
Hmm I hate to be negative but Blizzard seems incapable of making a solid games especially this season. Maybe they should stop trying to change the game every season and focus on a quality product and content. We're a year and a half or so in and its still feels unfinished. I'm willing to bet PoE2's early access is more solid than any of D4's seasons, maybe combined. Its sad and frustrating.
The problem with the eternal realm is that Blizzard has made so many changes to the way gear and paragon work, and has set ample precedents of arbitrarily resetting character levels or making their gear obsolete and incompatible with updated crafting mechanics with no process to convert the gear fairly that, at this point, it has become clear that the best strategy to "manage" your eternal characters is to just let them rot until such time that some degree of stability seems to have been achieved. By then your eternal realm will have reached max paragon, and you will have truckloads of resources, rune words, top level gems, mythic legendaries etc. so it will be easy to rebuild your eternal characters. In the mean time the eternal realm is going to remain a junk yard for obsolete characters. I feel bad for people that prefer playing at their pace in the eternal realm. Must feel really frustrating to have the rug pulled from under your feet over and over again every new season.
Ooof had to move 666 thumbs off. 😹 I've literally used caltrops since pre... I know they weren't' popular but I loved them.. HATE change... they were NOT hard to freakin' use and the leap back was for a freakin' purpose... It was actually the WHOLE POINT in using them! Otherwise, Love the sound of the new season! OMG! So many QoL improvements!! I mean, sure a few minor complaints (see above) but overall, come on! Enough with the "oh, I expected so much more... when is anything EVER going to be enough FAST enough for everyone?
Honestly I was kind of disappointed that the poe 2 endgame was a copy paste from poe.And I know that they will add more later but still even one new map mechanic would have been nice.
Season looks pretty good so far. The change to the tree will be really nice with the Raven, and thank god for the Armory. Definitely can't wait to see some eldritch builds, and how the Rogue and Necromancer changes will be. Let's hope season 7 does some really good things for the game.
D4 shouldnt have done the seasonal reset crap. They should have stuck with long term progression. Do Season, make it take multiple seasons to get a character min/maxxed. Continue to add new content that tests those characters, but also makes it fun to play those characters at max level. Just like an MMO, their original idea (MMO-Lite). Seasonal resets are just bad, and always will be.
The character restart each season makes it feel that the progress made is redundant with each new season, eventhough eternal is there but I believe minimal amount of players touches that.
@@hoofhearted4Seasonal reset is a good thing for people that want to start anew to experiment with a new class / build. The problem is not the reset, it's the lack of incentive playing eternal characters. For most players, the eternal realm is little more than a junk yard for outdated characters with obsolete gear. Blizzard needs to find a way to incentivize players to revisit their eternal characters and keep them up to speed with the meta.
Better. If you don't play enough you should not get it. 1 ga is enough for all content, and non required things should not be balanced towards casual play because if it is then there is no reason for non casuals to play at all after a week. That said, I got only one 4GA in about 200 hours. So the droprate is a bit low. But I got loads of 3GA.
@@GilgameshGDLK the lottery only exists to extend playtime because there isn't much more to offer past maxing out your build. It is a really weird take he had, and just shows entitlement that you shouldn't get to enjoy one of the fun aspects that is accessible in most arpgs unless you "earn" it. And by earn i mean dump a ton of hours into Blizzards playtime statistics in their quarterly report
@@jimmy2518 That's the exact reason I went back to d3. Spending 200 hours for 1 chance item with a growing family and less free time isn't gonna work for me. And that's okay, it's cool that some people do and don't want that, but to have a weird take about it like that dude is wild.
yay green helltides are back... I hope the levelling of the witchcraft skills is not as tedious as S2 blood powers where you have to make several clicks and wait for minor animations to apply points.
New to the franchise, started because of gamepass. My first and only build I've taken all the way to late endgame is shred druid (finally bought VoH and leveled up a spiritborn this week, just in time for the short lived elixir bug). Anyways, stoked to see such a heavy emphasis on shred buffs!
As Fire Sorc main, the nerfs suck. Just change it so that it does big DoT, thats how fire should be, is DoT. I didn't play this season, but if Sorc feels those nerfs, I wont be back next season either.
Kinda sad they totally removed the backwards leap from Caltrops. I always viewed it as a mobility skill and it was very fun to use it for positioning. Maybe an aspect could bring it back with a twist!
Excited to see Diablo IV evolve in the right direction but at the same time, I am underwhelmed by how unoriginal the season 7 mechanics are. Are they already running out of idea that they need to resort to doing a mashup of season 1 and 2 mechanics? POE introduces wild mechanics with each league: tower defense, MOBA, roguelike mode etc. Why can't Diablo IV try to be a little bit more original?
I am already in the mode where I play when a new season comes out for a couple of weeks and then move on. This happened in D3 as well. only D2 was able to keep me playing due to its fun factor.
@@mgee9130 Exactly my point. The games they are making now are not engaging enough to have us just jump on and play for fun. We need to be lured in. I can pick up a game like D2 and just play and have fun. I have high hopes for PoE 2, but we will see.
I play minion Necro, when I saw the new Nagu Rune (100 Offering every five seconds, stacking up to six times depending on how many summons you have), my jaw DROPPED. Imagine a Necro with NaguOhm. War Cry for six seconds per 600 Offering. Permanent War Cry.
I don't really see the change to the Fire Bolt Enchantment effect being much of a nerf. Indeed, while I have during the leveling process used Fire Bolt as a basic skill for a short while, I have never used it in the enchantment slot. There are plenty other sources of burning to choose from.
Don't all these fixes and QOL updates, including the armory, look like things that should have worked like this from the start? It's like they create flaws on purpose to have something to fix in the future. Season theme looks nice and the QOL updates are good but it might all be too little too late.
FYI... for HC players all runes are in the stash. Managing things in HC is a nightmare and I suspect is similar to POE where you pay for stash... In D4 you buy another account :-/ (oh btw also you need to have an additional PC to transfer stuff)
Like I said on others, I watched the Campfire Chat and it seemed more like a corporate shill than it was towards the fans. They say the are listening to the community, but the community has made it clear that they are not.
@@BadgerCxwhy the assumptions? why would he hate or dislike diablo? more likely he loves the franchise and he's unhappy with the direction it's going in . "don't play it if u don't like it" is how u get concord this type of interactions is important. actually loving something involves being genuine
@@tripl9 I don’t think he likes it if he’s calling it a corporate shill lol. But maybe he likes those. The issue is he’s saying they don’t listen to the community but they have changed almost every aspect of the game based on the community. Complaints like these aren’t constructive if they aren’t in reality. This is just being salty
Thx for the camp fire update :) I really hope the devs get the spiritborn in control, but i must say i have my concern, because there are way to slow to fix bugs and exploits, and very fast to make many new :D But still looking forward to season 7 :)
Season 7, new gem replacements with what appear to be pretty rudimentary increases, just multipliers? Basically even more basic than malignant hearts. NPC turn in which is a Diablo IV staple at this point, and Witch powers which is season 2 vampire powers updated. Then the rest are all base game updates that will go into Eternal and should go in immediately but instead is used to pad the size of the seasonal update. Edit: I forgot about the headrotten, is that a new model and everything? At least that is good if so.
You didn't mention - does addition of the armory now mean respec is free? Armory would have been nice in S5, now not feeling any vibe to return. Too much bloat.
Y not just give sorc a 3rd enchant so we can still get dmg from the fire enchant, instead they nerf fire enchant and dev. blaze passive. Ball light might b cool but now we will do less dmg across the board with changes.
We need the Witch Doctor and Paladin added to the game. That would make the game feel complete. Maybe later add the assassin if they open up Xiansai which i would think is the Asian style continent of Sanctuary in a future expansion.
I wonder if gems and runes stay sucked in the item when you switch from build to build. Like a necro versus a barbarian using grandfather, they have different runes in them.
I'm not a poe player although I have supported the game before it was cool, I just never liked the gem system and I think it was too complex for no reason. But I have been waiting for PoE2 and after watching GGG's stream yesterday WOW .This is the most innovative systems arpg ever IMO !!! I don't know if I will stick with it, but just by watching the stream, I got that feeling, that urge when you want to play a game, sooooo much something I can't say for D4. The Devs seem to have a vision for their game!!!
It's the season of the armory. Still don't understand why they want feedback. We have been screaming from the top of the mountain, paladin and armory since the release.
There is nothing Diablo 4 could do to make me start over on another season. Each season is just adding one thing that is a little less repetative while having to do all the other super repetitive stuff to progress your character. 6 seasons is enough. Waiting til Diablo 5 I guess
Boulders in real life: Crushing, knockback, knockdown, stun, daze, blunt force trauma, dismemberment, external and internal bleeding. Blizzard: Let's make it do poison dmg. Jeezus.. 😂
Sometimes they introduce something really cool or desirable in a Season that I feel real bummed about when it disappears. I'm afraid this Season will be like that. Wish we had the option to "Commit" to a single Season's changes to keep them forever...
In D3 I wanted an armory and got a lousy loadout and the same is happening now in D4. let's just say I already have an armory and it's called 27 Whisper caches.... I hope they don't take that away from me.
Still really hate the Season Reset crap. Not that I expected them to change it, but I really liked the idea of an MMOARPG that they obviously intended to do. Where it took multiple non resetting seasons to get a character to max, let alone min/maxxed. Resetting has always felt stupid. They make the grind to get to max level easier and shorter, whats the point? why do a reset if you're just getting to the same spot, gunning for the same builds, grinding for the same gear. makes no sense to me. I dont even bother anymore. I play the journey, and stop. Done in a couple of weeks (when I actually play)
I'm happy with the Barbarian Earthquake buffs but I was expecting buffs to the Leapquake build. And I don't get why they're buffing Druid's Werewolf when Werebear is starving.
I'm not. Where are proper build buffs. Now we will have 2 builds that are mediocre. Where are s tier buffs to all major builds? Double swing? Whirlwind? Upheaval?... Meh
"Casting while moving" is what makes PoE2 the next gen aRPG. I don't understand why D4 didn't add this to more skills, if not all skills (even channel skills at some extend). By the changes to ball lighting, they clearly have the technology. I really hope D4 was the one to shake the ARPG scene. But once again, Blizzard is just recycling at the best quality possible. smh
oh man i so fucking hope they add witch doctor. That was class i played 90% of time in diablo 3. i loved the class. I hope they keep a spider pet build tht was fun.
I'm honestly waiting to see how Blizz is going to turn an aura into a generator/spender mechanic since they did the same thing for runes. I'm constantly hoping that they will scrap that idea and decide to make runes work identically to D2. The current form just lacks the feeling of excitement because the power comes and goes. We don't need Grief levels of power but having it as current just doesn't add the spice. Bring back targeted Mythic farming that just costs gold and sparks. The new way of giving you a random just feels bad. Even if they increased the Spark cost to 8, that would still give us a way to force our way through. Heck, just give us a way to target farm specific runes would alleviate this if they want to keep the current method.
Moving the tree of whispers waypoint is proof that the devs listen to Rhykker videos
Or they slowly develop the level design skill-set
As if they needed this to figure it out.
More like they started launching their own game. I mean past main menu/shop - what they usually test.
The raven in the tree should store whispers instead of claiming them. This way you don’t waste time going through loot while you are out and about, and then when you have time to claim you can claim multiple caches at once…

Sometimes i wonder if the devs are missing the basics. When developing a game, you should always ask 2 questions? Is it fun? Will it break the game?
So is it fun to have a limit on whispers? No.
Will it break the game to remove the limit? Not that i can think of.
Same with inventory management in general. If i have to run back constantly to town to sell my stuff, it breaks the gameplay and is not fun. So either give me bigger inventoryspace, less, but more meaningfull loot, or the option to sell/scrap it, without having to go back to town.
Or they could just put a stash box right next to the raven.
Good idea. But not needed. The rewards are a cache.
Witch Doctor receiving some love was unexpected, but welcome. Season of the Demon Hunter when??
I hope the witch doctor can b the next class along with the paladin
Witch doctor imho us the best class when doing pet builds, even better then necromancer. It’s so satisfying to see that wave of fetish minions just go out, swarm enemies and mow them down.

I think they did it to see how many hardcore fans they have, to calculate mtx earnings/server space for the next season.
PoE2 seems to be reskinned PoE1, all the same mechanics just improved a little bit. I don't see how anyone who prefers D4 or LE or GD or TL is going to switch to PoE2 at this point. People already made their choice, PoE2 is just going to splinter the PoE fanbase.
is Poe anything like diablo or is turnbase
@@derrickharney6750 It's like diabolo. Poe1 was made as a try to make a spirital succesor for D2.
Hopefully they change a few more druid buffs, it is on the right track - to me the meta that I have to be in all forms is silly. I would like be either Bear, wolf or Human, not to switch between all 3 to maximize damage.
Whoa, 7 seasons to finally get to par of where D3 left off...Sometimes I think they break things just to say they're going to fix it later.
Finally getting the armory. Still remember all those who were saying that an armory would be terrible and would ruin the game. Being able to use more builds will just increase how long I play each season for. Now just waiting for a loot filter.
D4 was an early access release in all but name. The game has really only hit what i would consider 1.0 in season 6. I was really very hopeful that they would announce some kind of end game progression, but alas, expectations dashed, disappointment with D4 continues. The game is in a good place, its fun, the loot is fixed, the progression systems have been majorly overhauled and i don't not like them. But GGG just did their big reveal on POE2 today and outlined all the endgame activities we will be able to partake in. Come on Blizzard! Pushing pit and grinding paragon is not enough.
As a huge diablo fan and supporter and a person who was NEVER interested in poe1 mainly coz of awful visual design i should say - PoE2 looks WAY more interesting and complete than d4.
It wasn’t Spiritborn who was broken - it was THE WHOLE GAME and the rest of roster broken for 3 seasons in a row.
Starting from season 4 not a single class could ever came close to clearing highest pit level - how is this possible? Why are you even having content in the game which is mathematically impossible to complete? You can’t do maths?
Turned out the Spiritborn are the only properly working class and ironically - by a mistake.
Why are every season you have to guess - will my character be playable in the endgame or will i suck and forced to start anew?
Why in 6 seasons they can’t came up with the concept of adjusting your own difficulty and enemies/loot modifiers for open world, while having the biggest open world in whole genre?
Why we still doesn’t have a way to RELIABLY farm the gear we need? Yeah you can farm mythics and uniques but for legendary - forget about it.
Honestly i just tired, D4 isn’t a “simple and casual” it’s simply lame and lacking very crucial features
One single POE2 endgame mechanic is going to be more fun and rewarding than the whole D4 endgame. I briefly came back to D4 for the last 2 seasons to see if they could turn it around after spending a few season learning POE1. I haven't even watched this video to see what's coming, i don't care anymore, they weren't even able to implement things that made their old games good and i suspect they are just going to keep drip feeding some of that (eg an armoury that they developed 15 years ago) to D4 over several years, to try and cling on to engagement. Since the POE2 teaser it has simply reminded me that D4 bad, and I don't think anything short of diablo 5 (and actually being good) is going to change that
It makes no sense to me how such a large dev team could make such a lifeless and bland game.
PoE looks so much better than Diablo and it's going to be Free2Play?
Diablo just feels like an oversized mobile game.
No depth, no immersion, just hold forward and watch flashy lights.
@@Titus.The_Crucifier Imortal was saying the quiet part out loud. the dev team didnt make a game, they made an advert for the in game store and try and keep you watching it for as long as possible.
all the good mechanics from previous games were ditched so players would ask for them back and they could look like they were listening. an armoury was such an obvious choice considering how little stash space you have and how many different items you get which basically become junk if they arent for your current build. yet the game was so empty that leveling alts was a way to artificially drag out play time.
They knew an armoury was relevant because they implemented one, to switch between your $20 skins on your alts. the skins are so obviously geared towards certain builds as well, playing with an ice mage skin on a fire character? thats silly, better get a fire skin too, and generic ones will cater to people who will only buy one skin
isn't that a shame for blizzard how a F2P game- POE2 outshine D4 in every possible way- do you know why that is- because GGG care about their game and their community- i rly hope that blizzard watch the presentation of POE2 and learn something- i'm rly sick and tired to watch/hear how the next season of D4 will be "the best" when the core game is meh and boring asF- it is mind mind boggling to me how instead of improving and create something new/exiting they just tune it down and make it to be just like D3- and every time with a empty promises that next season/expansion it will be better but their battlepass is top notch- it is rly sad
"Starting from season 4 not a single class could ever came close to clearing highest pit level - how is this possible? Why are you even having content in the game which is mathematically impossible to complete? You can’t do maths?"
That was intended, to give people something to strife for and to brag about, if you manage to clear a higher pit than most people. Its for long term gameplay, that way you dont have to adjust the difficulty of your content every time power creep happens. D3 had the same with the rift system.
"Why are every season you have to guess - will my character be playable in the endgame or will i suck and forced to start anew?"
All characters are endgame viable, though not every build. When in doubt, just wait a few days until people have figured out the tierlists of the season.
"Why in 6 seasons they can’t came up with the concept of adjusting your own difficulty and enemies/loot modifiers for open world, while having the biggest open world in whole genre?"
Well you can, thats what torment levels are for. What you are asking for is basically adding a dozen more Torment levels into the game. They went that route in D3. Its not the worst way to go but personally i would be more happy, if they cut back on the powercreep, so that the existing difficulty settings remain challenging.
"Why we still doesn’t have a way to RELIABLY farm the gear we need? Yeah you can farm mythics and uniques but for legendary - forget about it."
Because you would be done with you char in a few dozen hours and would start crying, that there is nothing left to do? You can get tons of legendaries in a short amount of time and you will have pretty quickly most of them at ancestral level. Year, you will probably never find all you ancestrals with 3-4 strong affixes but those should be very rare and not handed out like candy.
Don’t mess with my caltrops man… love those things
I know man.... Sucks they are charging it. The backflip was a very VERY good evade too.
The jump back was super slow and annoying. Easily the worst thing about rogues since all top builds uses it.
i agree, if you know how to use it then the jump back is great mobility
Hmm I hate to be negative but Blizzard seems incapable of making a solid games especially this season. Maybe they should stop trying to change the game every season and focus on a quality product and content. We're a year and a half or so in and its still feels unfinished. I'm willing to bet PoE2's early access is more solid than any of D4's seasons, maybe combined. Its sad and frustrating.
deffo combined
They said the same thing on Season 6, and Season 6 turned out as a season with BUGS.
True, but i still had a lot of fun. Though probably not the most fun season for me.
Sounds like a positive direction to take the game. Thank you for this condensed information.
The problem with the eternal realm is that Blizzard has made so many changes to the way gear and paragon work, and has set ample precedents of arbitrarily resetting character levels or making their gear obsolete and incompatible with updated crafting mechanics with no process to convert the gear fairly that, at this point, it has become clear that the best strategy to "manage" your eternal characters is to just let them rot until such time that some degree of stability seems to have been achieved. By then your eternal realm will have reached max paragon, and you will have truckloads of resources, rune words, top level gems, mythic legendaries etc. so it will be easy to rebuild your eternal characters. In the mean time the eternal realm is going to remain a junk yard for obsolete characters. I feel bad for people that prefer playing at their pace in the eternal realm. Must feel really frustrating to have the rug pulled from under your feet over and over again every new season.
Ooof had to move 666 thumbs off. 😹
I've literally used caltrops since pre... I know they weren't' popular but I loved them.. HATE change... they were NOT hard to freakin' use and the leap back was for a freakin' purpose... It was actually the WHOLE POINT in using them!
Otherwise, Love the sound of the new season!
OMG! So many QoL improvements!! I mean, sure a few minor complaints (see above) but overall, come on! Enough with the "oh, I expected so much more... when is anything EVER going to be enough FAST enough for everyone?
I agree the change made me not want to use caltrops anymore.
lol again with “best season yet” jump on the rhykker rollarcoaster hype train. PoE2 just ate diablos lunch today
Honestly I was kind of disappointed that the poe 2 endgame was a copy paste from poe.And I know that they will add more later but still even one new map mechanic would have been nice.
Sounds like they made the mad wolf glee chest armor highly sought after pice now. I’m kinda excited now
Wait, will the hurricanes from wolves have boulders circling in them as well?
Problem with adding runes is making crafting specific mythics harder.
That would be amazing
Season looks pretty good so far. The change to the tree will be really nice with the Raven, and thank god for the Armory. Definitely can't wait to see some eldritch builds, and how the Rogue and Necromancer changes will be. Let's hope season 7 does some really good things for the game.
I’m hyped! I honestly don’t know where all this negativity is coming from. Is D4 perfect? No, but the devs are making things better incrementally.
D4 shouldnt have done the seasonal reset crap. They should have stuck with long term progression. Do Season, make it take multiple seasons to get a character min/maxxed. Continue to add new content that tests those characters, but also makes it fun to play those characters at max level. Just like an MMO, their original idea (MMO-Lite). Seasonal resets are just bad, and always will be.
@ hoofhearted4
I agree with this.
The character restart each season makes it feel that the progress made is redundant with each new season, eventhough eternal is there but I believe minimal amount of players touches that.
D4 mid
@@hoofhearted4Seasonal reset is a good thing for people that want to start anew to experiment with a new class / build. The problem is not the reset, it's the lack of incentive playing eternal characters. For most players, the eternal realm is little more than a junk yard for outdated characters with obsolete gear. Blizzard needs to find a way to incentivize players to revisit their eternal characters and keep them up to speed with the meta.
Or a scrollable stash tab. Ya know, like "withdraw only" tab once seasonal characters become eternal after a season ends. Just a thought...
still haven't found a GA 3-4 iteam
Better. If you don't play enough you should not get it. 1 ga is enough for all content, and non required things should not be balanced towards casual play because if it is then there is no reason for non casuals to play at all after a week.
That said, I got only one 4GA in about 200 hours. So the droprate is a bit low. But I got loads of 3GA.
@@marsovac So casual gamers shouldn't ever hit the lottery on amazing gear? weird take.
@@GilgameshGDLK the lottery only exists to extend playtime because there isn't much more to offer past maxing out your build. It is a really weird take he had, and just shows entitlement that you shouldn't get to enjoy one of the fun aspects that is accessible in most arpgs unless you "earn" it. And by earn i mean dump a ton of hours into Blizzards playtime statistics in their quarterly report
@@jimmy2518 That's the exact reason I went back to d3. Spending 200 hours for 1 chance item with a growing family and less free time isn't gonna work for me. And that's okay, it's cool that some people do and don't want that, but to have a weird take about it like that dude is wild.
i only found 1 4GA ring... and it was a mothers embrace.....
I hope they keep doing good updates like this. Its nice to see them listening and actually trying.
yay green helltides are back... I hope the levelling of the witchcraft skills is not as tedious as S2 blood powers where you have to make several clicks and wait for minor animations to apply points.
Season of the Armory. I’ll take it.
New to the franchise, started because of gamepass. My first and only build I've taken all the way to late endgame is shred druid (finally bought VoH and leveled up a spiritborn this week, just in time for the short lived elixir bug). Anyways, stoked to see such a heavy emphasis on shred buffs!
Those Rhyker clones are going ham in Black Ops 6.
As Fire Sorc main, the nerfs suck. Just change it so that it does big DoT, thats how fire should be, is DoT. I didn't play this season, but if Sorc feels those nerfs, I wont be back next season either.
Witch powers are fine and all but are there any new world bosses? A continuation of the story that dropped off a cliff? Malphas boss? WE ARE STARVING.
Finally, an armory! Only took a year and a half but I'm here for it.
Sweet, I like completing the whispers helps with cash and resources nice to see this implemented
I'm done.
Kinda sad they totally removed the backwards leap from Caltrops. I always viewed it as a mobility skill and it was very fun to use it for positioning. Maybe an aspect could bring it back with a twist!
So what’s the point of even having 150 pits in the game if we not supposed to b that strong yet just add it when we strong enough?
Excited to see Diablo IV evolve in the right direction but at the same time, I am underwhelmed by how unoriginal the season 7 mechanics are. Are they already running out of idea that they need to resort to doing a mashup of season 1 and 2 mechanics? POE introduces wild mechanics with each league: tower defense, MOBA, roguelike mode etc. Why can't Diablo IV try to be a little bit more original?
Well apparently the only thing that I've noticed that they've actually listened to what the fans have requested was about the runewords
I am already in the mode where I play when a new season comes out for a couple of weeks and then move on. This happened in D3 as well. only D2 was able to keep me playing due to its fun factor.
Well thats is how most people play arpgs nowdays.
@@mgee9130 Exactly my point. The games they are making now are not engaging enough to have us just jump on and play for fun. We need to be lured in. I can pick up a game like D2 and just play and have fun.
I have high hopes for PoE 2, but we will see.
I play minion Necro, when I saw the new Nagu Rune (100 Offering every five seconds, stacking up to six times depending on how many summons you have), my jaw DROPPED.
Imagine a Necro with NaguOhm. War Cry for six seconds per 600 Offering. Permanent War Cry.
I don't really see the change to the Fire Bolt Enchantment effect being much of a nerf. Indeed, while I have during the leveling process used Fire Bolt as a basic skill for a short while, I have never used it in the enchantment slot. There are plenty other sources of burning to choose from.
Don't all these fixes and QOL updates, including the armory, look like things that should have worked like this from the start? It's like they create flaws on purpose to have something to fix in the future. Season theme looks nice and the QOL updates are good but it might all be too little too late.
Um, who would burn an aspect for jump back on caltrops? It better have some other effects.
FYI... for HC players all runes are in the stash. Managing things in HC is a nightmare and I suspect is similar to POE where you pay for stash... In D4 you buy another account :-/ (oh btw also you need to have an additional PC to transfer stuff)
Wonder what happens with armory if you say need shroud across all builds, will they allow the same item across more than one saved load out.
Like I said on others, I watched the Campfire Chat and it seemed more like a corporate shill than it was towards the fans. They say the are listening to the community, but the community has made it clear that they are not.
@@djmidnightwolf that’s unhinged behavior. Why do you keep watching videos about it if you don’t like it?
@@BadgerCx because with all the billions of dollars this is what we get? Get the fuck out you absolute diablo simp
@@BadgerCxwhy the assumptions? why would he hate or dislike diablo? more likely he loves the franchise and he's unhappy with the direction it's going in .
"don't play it if u don't like it" is how u get concord
this type of interactions is important. actually loving something involves being genuine
@@gurobano4179 so you need to go to every Diablo video about it to say the same thing? That’s unhinged lol
@@tripl9 I don’t think he likes it if he’s calling it a corporate shill lol. But maybe he likes those.
The issue is he’s saying they don’t listen to the community but they have changed almost every aspect of the game based on the community.
Complaints like these aren’t constructive if they aren’t in reality. This is just being salty
my boi witch doctor getting noticed now yippy
All sounds really good :D
The track you have playing in background, which one is it? I cannot find it on official Vessel of Hatred soundtrack
So are druids still going to have to spin plates to get decent werewolf/werebear damage or are they going to let us stay in one form now?
Thx for the camp fire update :) I really hope the devs get the spiritborn in control, but i must say i have my concern, because there are way to slow to fix bugs and exploits, and very fast to make many new :D But still looking forward to season 7 :)
Season 7, new gem replacements with what appear to be pretty rudimentary increases, just multipliers? Basically even more basic than malignant hearts. NPC turn in which is a Diablo IV staple at this point, and Witch powers which is season 2 vampire powers updated.
Then the rest are all base game updates that will go into Eternal and should go in immediately but instead is used to pad the size of the seasonal update.
Edit: I forgot about the headrotten, is that a new model and everything? At least that is good if so.
You didn't mention - does addition of the armory now mean respec is free?
Armory would have been nice in S5, now not feeling any vibe to return. Too much bloat.
Y not just give sorc a 3rd enchant so we can still get dmg from the fire enchant, instead they nerf fire enchant and dev. blaze passive. Ball light might b cool but now we will do less dmg across the board with changes.
We need the Witch Doctor and Paladin added to the game. That would make the game feel complete. Maybe later add the assassin if they open up Xiansai which i would think is the Asian style continent of Sanctuary in a future expansion.
Teleporting waxing gibbous shred was the most fun day one. Zero interest until that unique playstyle is reinstated.
Class Quest: about time! Nice one.
Same with 4GA, but I wish they made it hard to get, but 100%, like 25% per GA..
Pretty good sum up vid @Rhykker, thanks!
Igni would slaughter with a Heartseeker build.
I got a whole month to try season 7 before Wilds drops.
Just watched the full POE II reveal... RIP Diablo 4
I wonder if gems and runes stay sucked in the item when you switch from build to build. Like a necro versus a barbarian using grandfather, they have different runes in them.
POE style stash tab for runes would be incredible!!
So sad that Diablo IV's perceived quality is a function of how much it copies POE 😓
Re-skinned Season 2 with an Armory. Got U. Def best Season yet.
I'm not a poe player although I have supported the game before it was cool, I just never liked the gem system and I think it was too complex for no reason. But I have been waiting for PoE2 and after watching GGG's stream yesterday WOW .This is the most innovative systems arpg ever IMO !!! I don't know if I will stick with it, but just by watching the stream, I got that feeling, that urge when you want to play a game, sooooo much something I can't say for D4. The Devs seem to have a vision for their game!!!
It's the season of the armory. Still don't understand why they want feedback. We have been screaming from the top of the mountain, paladin and armory since the release.
When the PTR starts, everyone’s going to be playing POE two instead
yay for witch powers. I am excited for those.
Why can't we just have fun with whatever build we come up with? Why nerf everything all the time?
Agreed with you for Stash tab like PoE. Runes, Gems, Potions, Hordes, NMD, Malignant Hearts etc..
There is nothing Diablo 4 could do to make me start over on another season. Each season is just adding one thing that is a little less repetative while having to do all the other super repetitive stuff to progress your character. 6 seasons is enough. Waiting til Diablo 5 I guess
I wish sorcs had full poison skills as well so they had 4 different elements.
Just saw POE2 early access preview. They literally make D4 looks like a prehistoric game. Farewell D4!
Boulders in real life: Crushing, knockback, knockdown, stun, daze, blunt force trauma, dismemberment, external and internal bleeding.
Blizzard: Let's make it do poison dmg.
Jeezus.. 😂
Sometimes they introduce something really cool or desirable in a Season that I feel real bummed about when it disappears. I'm afraid this Season will be like that. Wish we had the option to "Commit" to a single Season's changes to keep them forever...
We need a Druid fire build
In D3 I wanted an armory and got a lousy loadout and the same is happening now in D4. let's just say I already have an armory and it's called 27 Whisper caches.... I hope they don't take that away from me.
Damn some of y'all are just looking for reasons to be mad aren't you?
D4 is rocking
Still really hate the Season Reset crap. Not that I expected them to change it, but I really liked the idea of an MMOARPG that they obviously intended to do. Where it took multiple non resetting seasons to get a character to max, let alone min/maxxed. Resetting has always felt stupid. They make the grind to get to max level easier and shorter, whats the point? why do a reset if you're just getting to the same spot, gunning for the same builds, grinding for the same gear. makes no sense to me. I dont even bother anymore. I play the journey, and stop. Done in a couple of weeks (when I actually play)
I'm happy with the Barbarian Earthquake buffs but I was expecting buffs to the Leapquake build. And I don't get why they're buffing Druid's Werewolf when Werebear is starving.
I'm not. Where are proper build buffs. Now we will have 2 builds that are mediocre. Where are s tier buffs to all major builds? Double swing? Whirlwind? Upheaval?... Meh
Poe2 is gonna be the best season 7
Still praying for seasonal Character rebirth to be implemented.
"Casting while moving" is what makes PoE2 the next gen aRPG. I don't understand why D4 didn't add this to more skills, if not all skills (even channel skills at some extend). By the changes to ball lighting, they clearly have the technology. I really hope D4 was the one to shake the ARPG scene. But once again, Blizzard is just recycling at the best quality possible. smh
When I play druid I want to be able to stay in wolf or bear and not have to change forms for dmg buffs.
caltrops update should have been optional in the skill tree
oh man i so fucking hope they add witch doctor. That was class i played 90% of time in diablo 3. i loved the class. I hope they keep a spider pet build tht was fun.
Oh nice i wont miss a vid this time
Did blizzard really have a campfire chat at the same time PoE 2 was getting its last final announcement?
I'm honestly waiting to see how Blizz is going to turn an aura into a generator/spender mechanic since they did the same thing for runes. I'm constantly hoping that they will scrap that idea and decide to make runes work identically to D2. The current form just lacks the feeling of excitement because the power comes and goes. We don't need Grief levels of power but having it as current just doesn't add the spice.
Bring back targeted Mythic farming that just costs gold and sparks. The new way of giving you a random just feels bad. Even if they increased the Spark cost to 8, that would still give us a way to force our way through. Heck, just give us a way to target farm specific runes would alleviate this if they want to keep the current method.
Rune worlds in D2 was boring. And always the same being used. An active system like to new rune are way more fun to use.
Cant wait to slam everything on my screen with Titan warrior, ops wrong announcement mb
