Is it tho? It's a time saver sure, but I'm really not convinced you get the same value, perception-wise, of the devs being on the ball or not, or the dozens of smaller, but relevant changes or future plans not covered in this summary.

i agree with you that if a class gets new items one update and then a few updates later another class and so it i think its better than waiting longer for items for all classes to come out. not sure how ill feel about the gauntlet as a casual but ill try it out. i agree with the uber unique crafting ubers should be rare but i think it would be nice to get something out of normal uniques to work towards a uber but i dont think its really that necessary tbh over all though a decent update and i look forward to the next campfire chat.
I have a bunch of friends who play together since D2. All are off D4 since s3. The consensus after yesterday is: not enought to bring us back, and unless a lot improves on s4, not enough to makes us buy the DLC, either.
I still play it with my friend, but we're TOTALLY not interested in "Gauntlet" stuff. I have enough competetive stuff in other online games, I'm not playing Diablo for this reason. Besides, I have a feeling many people will be not interested in this. I strongly doubt it will be exciting to see that you're ranked 203.000th in the world in some stupid ass dungeon, that will go away in a week. D4 is called 'dad's game' for a reason. I'm awaiting crucial changes like itemization etc.:)
Want feedback devs.... how bout make the game not fucking suck. Fix itemization, enable trading, increase game size, create a lobby, simplify fucking paragons
D4 fireball : two choices, A: more damage or more crit damage LE fireball : do multiple projectiles in a cone or turn it into a plasma ball or add an explosion or make it a flame thrower or why not combined some of em to make the experience fresh every build Point is d4 bad
D4: Fire looks better. Graphics and Gameplay but Aimless and hallow. Or mediocre graphics and gameplay but “rewarding”. Casual vs No Life ARPG’s…. It’s all relative.
Excited for the Druid Companion changes. Hopefully it’ll make a noticeable difference. Got my Druid to level 95 in Eternal Realm. Took a break leveling once I heard a patch was coming next week. Will need to see what changes I may want to make for my build before I level my character to 100.
So for the majority of players, who don't have the ability or aspiration to be on the leaderboard, the gauntlet is just a weekly with some 'okay' rewards? Cool, that'll save the game.
Thanks for the summary Rhykker! I don't care about the gauntlet, but am absolutely stoked about Incinerate buff and wishing the devs give us a good itemization overhaul.
I'd love for then to get rid of the mats needed to do boss runs I'm a necro main and it takes forever to get the 9 bloods. I've done close to 100 zir runs and still havent seen a lidless wall
i am with you there. Just imagine in D2 you would have to collects mats for a Mephi or Baalrun. Just add a high level dungeon in front of the bosses, so that you cant just make 10 Durielruns in 20 minutes. I would preffer that.
I’m farming Zir to get his rare cosmetic crown. I agree that it takes forever to get the exquisite blood since they only drop from Legion Events or World Bosses.
The Moonrise evade cooldown can be easily compensated by going "evade cooldown lowered by x with each attack" on your boots' implicit, it was easily the least used boots modifier anyway, now it might get some love.
PTR is HUGE! I'm not a blaster so I surely won't get to the end end end game activities I'm sure, but I will get far enough to know whether or not the itemization experience has been enhanced.
I would be fine with blizzard rolling out new stuff when its ready for a class but they have to make sure there not ignoring classes for months on end when it comes to new stuff being released.... If they release something new for say a druid one season make sure the next season a different class/classes get something new, If blizzard is gonna release stuff as its finished they have to make sure they don't favour one class over the others.
The items in the game, the different affixes and effects. Right now the items are super boring and unnecessarily complicated in an unfun way.

Thx for the summary. I will stay with Last Epoch for now though. D4 is not as attractive to me anymore, it evolves at a very slow pace and big mistakes/letdowns happen too often.
To late... ive moved on toLast Epoch now. I am so dissapointed with D IV. Couldve been great. But they were too worried about monetizing mounts and making the game a grind. And Necro in Last Epoch is just more fun to play.
If this guy doesn’t have a Shanko yet, how is anyone supposed to get one? I’ve been watching this guy play Diablo since Diablo came out and all he does is play that game and make UA-cam videos, I play twice a month. I just assumed he had one.
The party/solo balance of D4 is abyssimal and preventing me from ever enjoying the game again since S2 until it get changed. You get 16x more Uber Duriel runs with a party of 4 than solo, and it's something that can be farmed for considerable power. Which just completely invalidate solo play. LE is out and 1000x better than D4, so I'll just keep on alternating between PoE and LE instead of sometimes playing D4.
Thanks for the re-cap! Actually been holding off on starting this season cause it didn't really get my attention and there has been a ton of great games that had my attention first. That said, I'll hop in here this month to at least get the journey done. Only takes a like a week of casual play. Looking forward to seeing a lot of the QoL since season 3 and a lot of the changes sound nice. Might try a minion Druid now
I'm so happy to hear about the PTR, it was gutting to see the launch of season 3. I had work to do so couldn't really play, but everything I read was about "this is awful and sucks" then they did a patch and the season was much much better. I didn't even play it in the bad state but i was impacted by the overwhelming negativity skewing my perspective. What can I say, I'm susceptible to hype!! If all the ptr does is makes the noise go down, then that's awesome.
after talking with my Clan mates, we all agree that we are happy with just releasing Gear as it's ready, no need to have every class get new stuff all at once. This also gives reason to try out other classes once you are ready for playing alts.
@@rekslegiune6004They never said they can't, they said would you rather have stuff as it's ready based on the fine tuning of said gear, or wait to have all classes get reworked. They asked the community what their thoughts were on it. That was my thought. I'm not some hellbent troll like 90% of the comments these day, just looking for any reason to shit on a game. To be clear I'm not singling you out, just tired of all the negative hate Diablo or any IP gets over this when it's nitpicking stuff. We aren't talking about Gollum here. If you like LE, or PoE, or all 3, then play what you like. People have way too much free time to get so worked up over what they think the game should be, versus playing what it is. I'd like to see most of the people on here try and actually make a halfway decent ARPG that could come close to what Diablo has even as bare bones as some may feel it is. Just accept that live service games are here to stay and that not all content will ever be released all at once anymore. There is an over saturation of games you can play in the meantime if this doesn't tickle your fancy. The PTR should help with genuine feedback, but just shoveling hate and sarcasm won't fix anything.
Nice on the minion part!! I have always loved necros minions in every ARPG due to Diablo 2, and was super disappointed when D4 minions weren't good at all. S4 I will be definitely trying a minions build. Though LE might have come on top in the minions build department now.
Seeing a LOT of silent chests in those gauntlet clips. Looks like this might actually give a use to obols in end game - stock up on chest keys. EDIT - scratch that. You collect special keys from bosses in the gauntlet to open those chests, they aren’t silent chests.
Love D2 and D3 but I don’t see myself coming back to D4. It’s to little to late I just feel it’s boring some stuff was fun in the season but not fun enough that I want to grind to 100.
I admire your dedication to maintain enthusiasm. They basically made some minor stat tweaks which takes around a minute to update in the db. Added aspects, again takes a few minutes and finally did a demo on a single dungeon that they have been polishing for 2 months. There isn’t even anything new there.. It’s a very poor show of effort on blizzards part. They pushed back these minor changes a month! What have they been doing?
They are corrupt and lazy. y god fanbois think getting a PTR a year after the game came out is somehow a good thing, lolollol. What a garbage game and devs.
I recently acquired Gorr's Devastating Grips on my Barb, and it already had 3 ranks of WW, 4 now that I fully upgraded it, so something is off here. The explosion damage range however is still 16-26%, so that seems to be working as intended.
Totally agree this a W,I'm excited for what's to come in S4. As a Casual Andy: After completing the battle pass,checking off the seasonal journey and hitting lvl 100 with my character I just think that my season is "done" after that I move to playing something else for the remainder of the season. I honestly don't see why that's a bad thing,I like that D4 gives leeway to enjoying other games. Never cared for endless lootloop grinds that PoE and LE seem so hyperfixated on. I like the idea of the Gaunlet because it gives me a reason to try out my past "finished" characters and team up with clanmates. Would be cool if they added a 2 player couch coop only division to those leaderboards. I find couch coop console play such an under appreciated feature of this game. Imagine if they made a roguelike option specifically designed around ssf and couch coop play.
Joseph Piepiora looked beaten down / annoyed in the campfire chat. He also had a look that he would stab you if you looked at him the wrong way and Pez Radar started off poking the bear with Joey P comments lol
About Uber Uniques not being needed is kind of untrue though.. especially now with the Gauntlet. Someone that doesn't have a Shako are going to be so significantly weaker compared to someone who does that you probably won't have a chance to reach the top. They just can't design Uber Uniques to be something extremely exciting when it drops and enticing to strive towards without making them powerhouse items necessary to compete on leaderboards.
So, basicaly the even season team makes good stuff, the odd season team gets brushed under the rug.... Would love to see an option to earn gear in game, especially if it looks good. Not the typical - here's some rags you can get in game, or put your CC in and get this amazing set from the store!
Absolutely come out with changes as they are ready and needed, even if some classes have more changes than others. Some class specs need a complete overhaul, and I would rather have a big change then slightly changing the spec.
@@filthcauldron2441 To be fair, I can see their point. I went gung ho for D4 closed beta, open beta, launch, S1, and S2. Then S3 tapered my enthusiasm considerably, and right now I am having soooooo much fun with Last Epoch, that I will be hard pressed to return to D4 in the immediate future. Definitely not for the leaderboard features in S3, but depending on what the PTR for S4 reveals and the nature of the re-itemization, probably then... but right now there's so much to do in Last Epoch with respect to build diversity and experimentation. Plus as a minion necro Andy, Last Epoch has so much more to offer with respect to the experience than D4 right now... and simply buffing D4 minions sadly won't change that.
Rhykker failing to see the real issues with Diablo 4 when the rest of us know it’s absolutely dead to the point of no return. Literally blind to the facts.
Yeah, I'm also not sure about this. It definitely didn't feel slow in S3 because of Charge, but there are builds for Sorc, Rogue and Necro that are still way faster I guess...
@blazedehart2748 you have to be careful though. I played Blood Lance Necro this season and at some point I switched the complete build to blight because leveling was an absolute nightmare 😑. Switched back to BL around lvl 70 and then it was fun 🙂
@@tehf00n your anecdote doesn’t weigh much on the vast sea of the player base though. Barb is universally slower at leveling than most others. There is literally non debate here. The majority of people that play the class agree. I am happy that you found a way to make the experience quicker and more enjoyable for yourself though. I personally, I’d rather they fix the class for next season.
wouldnt it be cool if D4 devs introduced something similar to Legendary Potential from Last Epoch, if a unique drops with Legendary potential 1-4 you can add stats from another item onto the unique, such a cool feature, also the Last Epoch crafting system would be nice, with the ability to craft on the fly , not having to be in town to craft
No the reward is competing on the leaderboard. The 925 items are just a bit of icing on the cake. At the time you run the gauntlet, you should be mostly stacked with 925 items anyway. Also if you have listend closely, the monster level in the gauntlet is around a lvel 70 NM dungeon. You can get 925 items there too?
@@Daniel-rd6stI mean not all content needs to be for everyone yah know? plus its just lost content if they get rid of the vaults not lost mechanics etc that I get. so I assume they will bring back the vaults, just not the companion, since they already made them.
@@kylejamer yes! I love Frenzy. Was my fav in D2 and when added to D3. I love it in D4 as well. Feels like they want it to be a thing but it’s just not there yet.
Id agree that if theres some new stuff for whatever class, just add it right away. As you said yourself - as long as my favourite class gets the new stuff EVENTUALLY i am fine with someone else getting theirs earlier. As for the rest of the changes, it seems that the devs are going in the right direction, lets hope the itemization changes in S4 are gonna be good :)
This is my first season, and I just wish we had a more accurate Renown tracker. It's getting more and more difficult to track things like sidequests, side dungeons, and Altars of Lilith within each region as you proceed.
After playing Last Epoch I just found myself just enjoying the itemization way more than D4, the fact that legendaries still exist in D4 is perplexing as they are really only used as an aspect farm, when all aspects effects should be applied to the skill tree as the current iteration of the skill "tree" is bare bones and needs far more meat on them....but I'm not holding my breath anymore on blizzard fixing this game as they say they want to listen but we've seen this happen before with diablo 3.
PTR won’t mean too much. They just do whatever they want anyway. Let’s not forget all the feedback they got during the beta and literally did nothing with it.
Duriel: 1 shard of agony and 1 mucus egg. This should help a lot with agonizing farm. Many players in game you'll see always in global chat wtb mats, wtb Duriel runs, or many players standing outside the dungeon. I racked up 60 in like a week and that's a huge chore right now imo. I'm a filthy casual thinking I got a shot or I'm doing something wrong or not enough mats and there's definitely not room for leeching when players value their time in game. I have not seen 1 uber. In the meantime I got to divvy up how I run these and other events in unison so I don't burn out. That's all I got for now. Thanks.
This game is just a worse version of D3. No D2R updates means no more money from me to blizzard. Have fun everyone but I'll be in LE and PoE going forward
I think I'll wait for s4 to return to D4 till then, i think im gonna do some travelling through time...Who knows if i stabilize the right timeline D4 might be a better game when i come back🤪
They can release them one by one, but they can’t start any record setting events or rank setting events until all of them are released if they want to be fair about it.
finally a content creator with comments are positive and not full of hate every other content creator who shiit on this game comment section full of toxicity
I wouldn't mind if they released smaller patches more often. Would give more chances to roll a new character if I see that a certain class was buffed. But I'm still waiting for more substantial changes to bring me back. Haven't played S3 at all, and hoping item rework will bring me back.
They basically asked you if they could release 1 unique item at a time. so very slowly. Do you not see the incompetence? How do they not know how to design their game?
@@Zutang777 Just 1 item? Well I take it back. I thought it was "10 new items for this class with some buffs/nerfs" not 1 new item a month, if that. They're a AAA company who can't have something decent every other week? I don't get it either. It's like Blizz just wants to do the minimal amount of work for the maximum amount of profit.
I got nothing but respect for rhykker. Not farming hate clicks and staying positive. UA-cam needs a lot more of this. That said, I can’t wrap my head around why he he’s jumping in to the ocean with the dead weight that is D4’s soulless corpse tied to his feet. Love that he does his best to not be a part of the hate algorithm but like… just ignore this game haha. It’s going nowhere in the saddest way possinle
I'm definitely here for the long haul regardless what people think of the game, I think it's probably better for gauntlet run builds to have say (tweaked gauntlet class this week: insert job class) instead of having everything tweaked all at once, on all classes, it should be drip fed released, so that way at least stuffed will be released more frequently instead, there my thoughts on it anyway what do you think Mr Rhykker? I know I def prefer it this way, that way more stuff could be frequently released instead of all at once
I prefera one big patch in with I can sink for couple awesome weeks. Dripping some small changes just to force us to comeback for a moment is terrible philosophy i my opinion.
Great news! Great that we could get through that rough start for D4, now things are coming together apparently. Keep up the good work Blizzard. Thank you!
My opinion about the new item rollouts would be: as long as you do them 1 by 1 I don't need parity but if 1 class gets 3 at once and the others get none it's a litle sad.
I haven't started yet, but I'm sure Rhykker will try to only focus on the "good" while outwardly mitigating the bad. Can't wait to hear the overly positive take on a game I haven't touched since release and likely won't play again.
as an hardcore only player i really hope you can use the elixir of death evasion while inside it. I like the thrill of playing hardcore but losing your max level character to something you can't experience without risking getting one-shotted is a bit daunting

Company that big can't make gear for them all in months, ye really nice.
@@rekslegiune6004They never said they can't, they said would you rather have stuff as it's ready based on the fine tuning of said gear, or wait to have all classes get reworked.
They asked the community what their thoughts were on it. That was my thought. I'm not some hellbent troll like 90% of the comments these day, just looking for any reason to shit on a game. To be clear I'm not singling you out, just tired of all the negative hate Diablo or any IP gets over this when it's nitpicking stuff. We aren't talking about Gollum here.
If you like LE, or PoE, or all 3, then play what you like. People have way too much free time to get so worked up over what they think the game should be, versus playing what it is. I'd like to see most of the people on here try and actually make a halfway decent ARPG that could come close to what Diablo has even as bare bones as some may feel it is.
Just accept that live service games are here to stay and that not all content will ever be released all at once anymore. There is an over saturation of games you can play in the meantime if this doesn't tickle your fancy.
The PTR should help with genuine feedback, but just shoveling hate and sarcasm won't fix anything.
Nice on the minion part!! I have always loved necros minions in every ARPG due to Diablo 2, and was super disappointed when D4 minions weren't good at all. S4 I will be definitely trying a minions build. Though LE might have come on top in the minions build department now.
Seeing a LOT of silent chests in those gauntlet clips. Looks like this might actually give a use to obols in end game - stock up on chest keys. EDIT - scratch that. You collect special keys from bosses in the gauntlet to open those chests, they aren’t silent chests.
Love D2 and D3 but I don’t see myself coming back to D4. It’s to little to late I just feel it’s boring some stuff was fun in the season but not fun enough that I want to grind to 100.
I admire your dedication to maintain enthusiasm. They basically made some minor stat tweaks which takes around a minute to update in the db. Added aspects, again takes a few minutes and finally did a demo on a single dungeon that they have been polishing for 2 months. There isn’t even anything new there.. It’s a very poor show of effort on blizzards part. They pushed back these minor changes a month! What have they been doing?
They are corrupt and lazy. y god fanbois think getting a PTR a year after the game came out is somehow a good thing, lolollol. What a garbage game and devs.
Losing Nightmare Vaults is really really sad info. I really can't imagine running nightmare dungeons anymore, they feel so lacklustre.
Hot take : I'd rather (just) HOPE FOR a random Shako drop one day, than target farm or use a crafting's pity system.
I recently acquired Gorr's Devastating Grips on my Barb, and it already had 3 ranks of WW, 4 now that I fully upgraded it, so something is off here. The explosion damage range however is still 16-26%, so that seems to be working as intended.
Totally agree this a W,I'm excited for what's to come in S4. As a Casual Andy: After completing the battle pass,checking off the seasonal journey and hitting lvl 100 with my character I just think that my season is "done" after that I move to playing something else for the remainder of the season. I honestly don't see why that's a bad thing,I like that D4 gives leeway to enjoying other games. Never cared for endless lootloop grinds that PoE and LE seem so hyperfixated on. I like the idea of the Gaunlet because it gives me a reason to try out my past "finished" characters and team up with clanmates. Would be cool if they added a 2 player couch coop only division to those leaderboards. I find couch coop console play such an under appreciated feature of this game. Imagine if they made a roguelike option specifically designed around ssf and couch coop play.
THIS 100%
Lol
Joseph Piepiora looked beaten down / annoyed in the campfire chat. He also had a look that he would stab you if you looked at him the wrong way and Pez Radar started off poking the bear with Joey P comments lol
I do like the different leaderboards for Gauntlet
Only 4 ubers now instead of 5 to craft 1, what a great deal , lmao
Yeah that changes basically nothing
I want to see a Necro mobility skill that let's you teleport to a corpse. Like, Necros across three games and no one has thought of implementing this?
So happy to see minions getting some attention. Hopefully we start seeing some really good builds using them instead of it just being a gimmick
About Uber Uniques not being needed is kind of untrue though.. especially now with the Gauntlet. Someone that doesn't have a Shako are going to be so significantly weaker compared to someone who does that you probably won't have a chance to reach the top.
They just can't design Uber Uniques to be something extremely exciting when it drops and enticing to strive towards without making them powerhouse items necessary to compete on leaderboards.
So, basicaly the even season team makes good stuff, the odd season team gets brushed under the rug....
Would love to see an option to earn gear in game, especially if it looks good. Not the typical - here's some rags you can get in game, or put your CC in and get this amazing set from the store!
The minion upgrade was my best thing of the talk
Absolutely come out with changes as they are ready and needed, even if some classes have more changes than others. Some class specs need a complete overhaul, and I would rather have a big change then slightly changing the spec.
I played season 1 and 2 around one month each, and in season 3 i got bored the first week. I hope season 4 is better.
That's cute. I'm good with Last Epoch.
cool story bro, why you here then? lol
One game Andies 🙄
@@filthcauldron2441 He's a frustrated gamer where he has to pick sides to enjoy games. It's his life as a gamer. Let him be 😂😂😂
@emmanuelactubjr7054 fair lmao. I like LE but I want D4 to succeed as well. I'm hoping for the best. I like em both what can I say haha.
@@filthcauldron2441 To be fair, I can see their point. I went gung ho for D4 closed beta, open beta, launch, S1, and S2. Then S3 tapered my enthusiasm considerably, and right now I am having soooooo much fun with Last Epoch, that I will be hard pressed to return to D4 in the immediate future. Definitely not for the leaderboard features in S3, but depending on what the PTR for S4 reveals and the nature of the re-itemization, probably then... but right now there's so much to do in Last Epoch with respect to build diversity and experimentation. Plus as a minion necro Andy, Last Epoch has so much more to offer with respect to the experience than D4 right now... and simply buffing D4 minions sadly won't change that.
Rhykker failing to see the real issues with Diablo 4 when the rest of us know it’s absolutely dead to the point of no return.
Literally blind to the facts.
I dont know why they say Barb is a slow levelling build. I levelled up faster on my barb than any other char.
Yeah, I'm also not sure about this. It definitely didn't feel slow in S3 because of Charge, but there are builds for Sorc, Rogue and Necro that are still way faster I guess...
Druid is the only class slower than Barb for leveling. You should play some of the other classes. They all blow Barb/Druid out the water.
@blazedehart2748 you have to be careful though. I played Blood Lance Necro this season and at some point I switched the complete build to blight because leveling was an absolute nightmare 😑. Switched back to BL around lvl 70 and then it was fun 🙂
@@blazedehart2748 I've played every class which is why I said faster than any other char.
@@tehf00n your anecdote doesn’t weigh much on the vast sea of the player base though. Barb is universally slower at leveling than most others. There is literally non debate here. The majority of people that play the class agree. I am happy that you found a way to make the experience quicker and more enjoyable for yourself though. I personally, I’d rather they fix the class for next season.
I will always love you Rhykker.. Diablo is dead to me.. I only watch your videos to support you. That company is done for me for a long long time..
wouldnt it be cool if D4 devs introduced something similar to Legendary Potential from Last Epoch, if a unique drops with Legendary potential 1-4 you can add stats from another item onto the unique, such a cool feature, also the Last Epoch crafting system would be nice, with the ability to craft on the fly , not having to be in town to craft
If they're fair in cycling through creating items then I can't see any issue in releasing items when they are complete.
the biggest win is they just pushed more people to play last epoch
So the reward are 925 items? You can just do any NM dungeon above 80 for that lol.
No the reward is competing on the leaderboard. The 925 items are just a bit of icing on the cake. At the time you run the gauntlet, you should be mostly stacked with 925 items anyway. Also if you have listend closely, the monster level in the gauntlet is around a lvel 70 NM dungeon. You can get 925 items there too?
@@Daniel-rd6st Yh i get that but any decent build can clear a t100 within 5mins and level glyph xp at too. Gauntlet is 8 mins and for little reward.
I am sad that the vaults aren’t staying. I enjoy doing those!
I feel like it would be easy content to keep bring back since it doesn't affect balance etc.
@@draftingish4833 i agree. Not sure why they have to go.
Personally i am still on the fence. I prefer them to NM dungouns because of the better loot at the end, but i never became a fan of the trap mechanic.
@@Daniel-rd6st The mob density is nice for leveling. I dodge the traps I can, and just run fast through the rest.
@@Daniel-rd6stI mean not all content needs to be for everyone yah know? plus its just lost content if they get rid of the vaults not lost mechanics etc that I get. so I assume they will bring back the vaults, just not the companion, since they already made them.
GAUNTLET HYPE... nah, jk. no one cares about gauntlet... we want fun endgame and waaaay better itenmization
Agree. These updates still not getting me back on the game
0:45 moonrise is back! Frenzy Barb incoming in S4!!
This was the only part of this video I was pleasantly surprised to see. Hectic is also good to see
@@kylejamer yes! I love Frenzy. Was my fav in D2 and when added to D3. I love it in D4 as well. Feels like they want it to be a thing but it’s just not there yet.
PTR is big news! Very excited for itemization update, hopefully it's as benefitial as D3 Loot 2.0 was.
Id agree that if theres some new stuff for whatever class, just add it right away. As you said yourself - as long as my favourite class gets the new stuff EVENTUALLY i am fine with someone else getting theirs earlier. As for the rest of the changes, it seems that the devs are going in the right direction, lets hope the itemization changes in S4 are gonna be good :)
D4 is such a disappointment.
This is my first season, and I just wish we had a more accurate Renown tracker. It's getting more and more difficult to track things like sidequests, side dungeons, and Altars of Lilith within each region as you proceed.
Just play Last Epoch or PoE instead and save yourself the disappointment and frustration
of D4.
Blizzard: Hello everyone, welcome to the campfire chat. We are just here to let you know that we still exist (kinda)
1: Loot Filter
2: Storage Space increase. (Inventory and Stash)
3: Cool cosmetics that don't cost $
This is my wish list for the current diablo.
After playing Last Epoch I just found myself just enjoying the itemization way more than D4, the fact that legendaries still exist in D4 is perplexing as they are really only used as an aspect farm, when all aspects effects should be applied to the skill tree as the current iteration of the skill "tree" is bare bones and needs far more meat on them....but I'm not holding my breath anymore on blizzard fixing this game as they say they want to listen but we've seen this happen before with diablo 3.
Even worse that the legendaries don't feel like they make you a lot more powerful
Sounds like good progress is being made. Keep it up blizzard
Hey Devs! When a change is ready (not before and not after) give it to us. If it unbalances things you’ll fix it at mid season and season start.
PTR won’t mean too much. They just do whatever they want anyway. Let’s not forget all the feedback they got during the beta and literally did nothing with it.
Duriel: 1 shard of agony and 1 mucus egg. This should help a lot with agonizing farm. Many players in game you'll see always in global chat wtb mats, wtb Duriel runs, or many players standing outside the dungeon. I racked up 60 in like a week and that's a huge chore right now imo. I'm a filthy casual thinking I got a shot or I'm doing something wrong or not enough mats and there's definitely not room for leeching when players value their time in game. I have not seen 1 uber. In the meantime I got to divvy up how I run these and other events in unison so I don't burn out. That's all I got for now. Thanks.
I really hope more Ranged Rogue builds come viable at endgame. Pen shot is boring. Would love a rain of arrows build that works.
Rhyker, you somehow missed that Rogue damage is being nerfed by over 40% due to a bug fix. That's pretty big news.
This game is just a worse version of D3. No D2R updates means no more money from me to blizzard. Have fun everyone but I'll be in LE and PoE going forward
I think I'll wait for s4 to return to D4 till then, i think im gonna do some travelling through time...Who knows if i stabilize the right timeline D4 might be a better game when i come back🤪
I wonder what happened to the cow level stuff they hinted at in one of the last few campfire chats
The skill twig still remains though
They can release them one by one, but they can’t start any record setting events or rank setting events until all of them are released if they want to be fair about it.
finally a content creator with comments are positive and not full of hate
every other content creator who shiit on this game comment section full of toxicity
I wouldn't mind if they released smaller patches more often. Would give more chances to roll a new character if I see that a certain class was buffed. But I'm still waiting for more substantial changes to bring me back. Haven't played S3 at all, and hoping item rework will bring me back.
They basically asked you if they could release 1 unique item at a time. so very slowly. Do you not see the incompetence? How do they not know how to design their game?
@@Zutang777 Just 1 item? Well I take it back. I thought it was "10 new items for this class with some buffs/nerfs" not 1 new item a month, if that. They're a AAA company who can't have something decent every other week? I don't get it either. It's like Blizz just wants to do the minimal amount of work for the maximum amount of profit.
How about destroy 50 uniques to get 1 uber?
Yep, I totally support this 👍
I got nothing but respect for rhykker. Not farming hate clicks and staying positive. UA-cam needs a lot more of this.
That said, I can’t wrap my head around why he he’s jumping in to the ocean with the dead weight that is D4’s soulless corpse tied to his feet.
Love that he does his best to not be a part of the hate algorithm but like… just ignore this game haha. It’s going nowhere in the saddest way possinle
I'm definitely here for the long haul regardless what people think of the game, I think it's probably better for gauntlet run builds to have say (tweaked gauntlet class this week: insert job class) instead of having everything tweaked all at once, on all classes, it should be drip fed released, so that way at least stuffed will be released more frequently instead, there my thoughts on it anyway what do you think Mr Rhykker? I know I def prefer it this way, that way more stuff could be frequently released instead of all at once
I prefera one big patch in with I can sink for couple awesome weeks. Dripping some small changes just to force us to comeback for a moment is terrible philosophy i my opinion.
Great news! Great that we could get through that rough start for D4, now things are coming together apparently. Keep up the good work Blizzard. Thank you!
What a blizzard fan boi 😂…. Games terrible, try last epoch or Poe
Hmmm. Still not enough to bring me back but thanks for the update.
Getting better . I still enjoy it and look forward to each season for at least a month or two.
My opinion about the new item rollouts would be: as long as you do them 1 by 1 I don't need parity but if 1 class gets 3 at once and the others get none it's a litle sad.
I haven't started yet, but I'm sure Rhykker will try to only focus on the "good" while outwardly mitigating the bad. Can't wait to hear the overly positive take on a game I haven't touched since release and likely won't play again.
as an hardcore only player i really hope you can use the elixir of death evasion while inside it. I like the thrill of playing hardcore but losing your max level character to something you can't experience without risking getting one-shotted is a bit daunting
Same as zir just use before you go in?
