      Yup and guess what comes next? Season 7 will introduce torment 5-6, then season 8 will introduce Torment 7-8 etc exactly what they did with Diablo 3. It's a formula to keep players coming back "Oh new content and harder difficulty"

      more difficulties isn't an issue, it is the separation of servers per difficulty that is an issue. if difficulties for torment worked the same as mind cage, they could even add torment 100, no problem since people get awarded and everyone can play together regardless if they can do t60 or 100

Granted id rather see just every build be solid so there were less meta builds and you can play thematically makes sense and then seek out gear which improves that theme. I honestly don't play for a challenge I just like a distraction for a hour or two after work to relax.

Meanwhile in diablo 3 you could get a Legendary Two handed Sword that had "Chance on hit to summon Demonic slave" which was this huge ass Demon with a Giant Flaming sword that had a Chain connected to itself and the player that did Fire damage to everything that was caught by it. Like Where the fuck are cool items like that blizzard? Even the Uber Uniqe items in the game are freaking boring, with the exception of Tyraels might.

    I am a super fan like you; grew up in sanctuary. These system and gameplay developers have the building blocks but don’t know what to do with them.. I have never seen developers scrap so much of their live product only to replace it with something inferior. Seasons, systems and currencies ruined this installment nevermind the 18 difficulties that I am asked to throttle just so the game isn’t broken when I get stronger.. Tired of watching diablo devs try to reinvent the wheel instead of embracing well established, fan favorite systems, characters and class concepts. Leveling is a joke and I don’t like being launched to max level just for roaming. Artists can only carry this game so far. 😢

    being stuck in "expert" till 50 is so bizarre and then you go to penitent for only 10 levels.

I've never been a fan of pits/rifts. didn't like GR's in D3. Them moving materials to NM dungeons is cool thou, that is a positive change. This is PTR thou and I think A LOT of people are talking about the new tier levels. Hopefully they take note of it.

    I miss the days of d2 with a good leveling system and feel through an actual act 1-5 campaign.
    If they followed this system they could have really made changes to monsters. For example, end of 2nd phase difficulty, that cut scene of Inarius dying and the demons taking control. You enter into 3rd difficulty and Lilith hordes take over, more challenging monsters, different smarter combat mechanics.
    Hell coming in this new expansion turned to either a final act, but in my mind, a 4th harder tier campaign and hell breaches appearing with new monsters from hell, bringing back doom knights etc, would be amazing.
    The open map is meh, all it is is diablo 2 a1-5 maybe? Without any dividing , they really need an option to only see 1 region at a time on the map, it’s way too bloated and annoying to search for stuff

    Thanks for the great testing so far...didnt have much time myself yesterday :)
    I think when giving feedback to blizzard it is really important to be as precise as humanly possible. Because when we just tell them leveling is boring because of useless difficulties they will maybe just remove leveling instead of fixing the problem. Like with the overworld navigation to get to the nightmare dungeons. Instead of making the journey a fun one they just removed it and invented the teleport^^
    Overall im pretty concerned right now, because they put a lot d3 like stuff into the game which im not the biggest fan of especially in terms of leveling and "leveling itemisation".
    I just dont like the fact that i have to play around 5 hours of leveling, just for the sake of leveling and everything i do having no impact after another 5 hours of playing. Because then i basically just threw away 5 hours of my lifetime.

    Torment 4 was also easy. My whirlwind had worse gear than in the live game and it felt easier. And it will be extremely easy if you have glyphs at lvl 46 because you get 5 new multipliers.
    It was frustrating to have to play easy mode because you had to be lvl 60 to do the pit to get into Torment. And when I got to lvl 60 I did pits to go straight to torment 4.
    Luckily we'll get a new campaign, new zones and new side quest.
    They spent alot of time to make unnecessary changes when all they had to do was nerfing player power and balance the game better.
    The game is still missing exciting items. It's all about aspects and multipliers. The most important and powerful thing for a whirlwind barb isn't any item, it's dust devil aspects. It's so boring.

    I totally agree about the difficulties. Normal and hard can really go away, if you have difficulty clearing normal and you feel you need to play at that difficulty I don't know what to say. I like what they are trying to do because in Diablo 2 and Diablo 4 once you got to hell or WT4 it was over, the other difficulties did not matter. There was no reason to ever go back. So they are kind of meaningless. I would argue that Diablo 2 isn't a very challenging game after you learn it (which granted takes some effort). The first time I played it and did not know what I was doing it seemed difficult but after that everything outside of late hell was very easy, nightmare was easier than normal even. So the same problem kind of existed then but it's worse now. Other than than there is some very cool stuff in the PTR and good ideas and I expect a lot of tuning to take place to deliver a better season 6 than the PTR. The PTRs seem to work because everyone was negative about season 5 PTR but they improved it by a lot and now season 5 is the best season so far.

    From what I gathered the only meaningful mechanical ( ai behavior) difficulty change is between normal to penitent, so it sorts makes sense those would be divided since the mobs jave to move the same way to all players. But ad mobs behave the same between penitent to all levels of torment: thode dhould just be in the same multiplayer bracket /realm. So you ought to just change your torment/(mindcage) level and still be able to play with your group across those. (and just lock your dubgeon/raid instance once you chose your level)

    I played season 1 and season 2 and just got bored. The game felt too easy for 90% of it as i could basically smash my hands on the keyboard, blow up half the level and move on. I enjoy ARPGs that require more careful play throughout the leveling process and endgame.

    Seriously tho. So wild takes out here. Before, people were complaining about the scaling and level of difficulty and now it’s a problem that you choose the scale based on skill/power and still not happy. You are not grouping with your low level friend in d2 unless you’re power leveling. Community can’t make up their minds

WHATS THE FCKN POINT to a min maxer when all ths sht gonna once again change every couple o months with oh increased items levels, reset paragon glyphs and all the gear imma about to regrind becomin useless/legacy.

    Is your leveling difficulty experience based on playing only necro or other classes as well? If only necro, try out the other ones before you make a general statement? I do understand your cry about not able playing with friends, but you are crying about 15% player base, majority of players play solo and once in VOH you can at least enjoy the Citadel with your friends, but majority of players are forced to play with random people. Anyway, D4 has reached an OK status in S5 but this complete overall change seems to destabilize the game and Blizzard will have to change many things. I just wish they stop copy pasting D3 into D4.

    I think they are actually making some good moves here. It just needs some tuning. Reducing the massive bulk on numbers is a good thing as far as im concerned. If you can make 1000 damage function the same as 1,000,000 for gameplay, why not just reduce it so its easier to see/understand?
    Making the ‘good’ items more rare - isint that what people have been wanting? Complaining about the, well, golden shower you get like in d3?
    I do think some adjustments to difficulty are in order, of course. I can kinda understand why its like this for a PTR, they just overhauled the balance of the game. Better to play it safe (start small) and see how it goes, then dial it up a bit once you get more data.

    Sort of backwards thinking there ginger... if the bottom levels are ALL trash, everyone should get to T3 relatively quickly... so on day 1 sure, some variance... but rather than a flat rush thru capstones, higher players just gotta drop down to plvl/drag... i dunno man, i didn't watch the stream, didn't play... but your complaints about low level being too easy but others being trapped on it just seems like its either easy to push the person up past it or just... a skill gap? i love your content, but this just seems almost like... i hate d3 so imma poopoo on anything resembling it.

I was also perhaps a bit harsh. What I basically meant is that if my buddy makes a character after day 1 in current state of game and I am already on WT4, i have to drop down to wt2, rush him to wt4 and we still cant run most of the content until i powerlevel him up in some nmd or something... it's already not playing "together". Sure mindcages solved some gearfarming from helltides. One specific gameplay style which had a good solve. You are correct, that was a very good solution and they should have expanded upon it. Maybe they tried and grouping was meant to work across difficulties, but they couldn't code it in perfectly yet? so future plans? i have no idea. but i don't see much difference between the previous state of the game and the current state, but as you said, i didn't play it. so i could be wrong.

      If you think pointing out flaws is as you put it "**** it all up for the rest of us" than your sadly mistaken.
      Season 4 PTR was trash and it was community feedback that helped Season 4 shine.
      Season 5 PTR was Dog Tier Garbage, and Community feedback helped Season 5 be the best season that we have had so far.
      Season 6 PTR is not really good either and has significant problem, I believe the same will also happen. Feedback from the community will lead to good changes overall and enhancing the game even more before we get to season 6.
