      @@colby8104 Ah yes. Because Rhykker has loved the Diablo franchise for decades, remembers the Blizzard of old fondly, and really wants D4 to live up to his expectations and is willing to give it some time to cook, he's a "shill".
      Get a life outside of the internet kid. Just because some of us (not me, I hate D4.) give our beloved games a chance to maybe get better, doesn't mean we don't have a breaking point. Diablo is a big part of his life. Abandoning something you love is like cutting out a part of yourself.
      If anything, I'd call it coping, not shilling. But I still respect the man, even if I don't agree with him about what I consider to be a sinking ship.

    Having played around 500 hours of D4, it would be extremely hypocrite of me to say that it sucks. It's a very fun game, but it doesn't have an endgame worth mentioning and there's little replay value with the current skill trees. D4's expansions need to rework the talents from the ground up.

      I feel similarly, D4 isn’t a bad game by any stretch…it’s actually well put together and has a great campaign…level 80+ is when things slow down and I feel that’s because of the skill trees not the itemization… you get through the trees too fast and a lot of the skills aren’t viable…Necro is very limited…Sorc is forced to have ice shield and I’ve nova..a lot of skills are useless in most classes…skill trees definitely need a reset

      So.. I actually hate the loot filter. Like.. it's nice getting rid of crap items, but when I hit level 85 I made loot filters for only gear I need to drop. Now (aside from shards) I see 1 non unique item ever 3 or 4 runs.. it actually makes the game feel bad. Like.. why even play? If I ever hit 100 (which by the way is taking longer than even launch d4 did) im probably just going to quit til the next season or whatever they call it on LE.

    D4 looks good, plays good and the campaign is very good. Can't think of anything else i like about the game. It's super boring and basic in its core so it won't matter what they add with seasons if they don't rework every system before that. Most important for this type of game are itemization and builds. Builds are mostly the same as in previous Diablo games... so boring and itemization is the worst in the genre.

      I'm with you... I agree that there's plenty of room for improvement, but overall, I still really like D4 (especially on Steam Deck) ... folks seem to forget - though Rhykker points out often - that D3 was a total bomb on launch... I bounced off it immediately and didn't come back for nearly four years. But once I came back, it was an entirely different game and I ended up putting thousands of hours into it right up to the launch of D4, which in my mind is quite a bit better already than D3 was on launch... so I'm cautiously optimistic that D4 just going to continue to get better over time, and unless it takes a turn for the worse, I plan to keep enjoying it.

When I play a class that kills mobs left behind me (DoT) I would hear the exalted items sounds and I had to decide if I turn back to see if its an item from my filter or not. Very annoying.

    Not gonna happen though. I just wished the gameplay loop made even the smallest attempt to actually match the tone of the art & story. Diablo Souls would've worked too, wonder what could've been so bad that they canned it for Diablo 3 with a grimdark skin.

      This reminds me of every other genre falling to being built around the esport endgame instead of the campaign. Just like Arena FPS, just like RTS.
      At no point do the stakes for my character feel high if I, a human, am somehow just deleting whole waves of enormous monsters 5-20x my physical size from existence. Particularly not if it's this chaining AOE thing I can spam without any real corresponding cost or vulnerability.
      Like sure, give my character their nuke skill that wipes the screen - also follow with a -80% HP (or fatigue) & attack speed debuff & bring my movement speed to a crawl for 30 seconds after a 5 second stun. Have me scrambling to pull myself back together after an immense exertion & have tension building as enemies further away begin creeping in from the edge of the screen, meaning you REALLY want to pick your moment when you use this thing.
      At least make this power feel like it costs something!
      Also- it's about fighting monsters & demons in a dying world, but the gameplay stops any possible experience of horror. Even isometric, imagine if it used the same line of sight system as Darkwood! When your back is turned or your view obstructed, you can hear the demons, but you can't see them.
      But they can hear you, and smell you. Maybe some classes have limited active detect life skills through smell or echolocation to get an edge in this way too - but echo works like light radius & aggros the enemy too.
      Idk
      There are so many interesting places they could go with the Diablo formula & it's like they just decided the D2 > PoE standard is just the end of history for the genre & the franchise. As someone who enjoyed D1 as a gothic horror dungeon crawler, it is just so frustrating seeing the amazing potential of D4's themes & art being pissed away on yet another pinata whacker.

      These people are all intelligent, the developers are doing their jobs and moving the game in the direction that upper management and VP's intend it to go.
      I'm sure a lot of people here have worked in some kind of corporate setting, you understand that the majority of the work is done by lower level workers that have no say in the direction a project is going. Management and the decision makers are the ones to blame here, not the people who are actually doing most of the work and make up 90% of the company.
      I agree though, it's kind of fascinating how far Blizzard has fallen in terms the quality of their product and lack of innovation. I wanted D4 to be really good, and the first play through I had a blast, but the end-game is sorely lacking for a "live service" product.

    The issue with Nerfing Railgun, which almost nobody mentions, is that Walkers are not as good enough, against Robots! Currently only the Recoiless rifle stands almost any chance against robots, and the Spear. But Spear is buggy and can not take out Drop Ships, and Recoiles Riffle Reloads far too long to be any viable, in addition, if you want to use those weapons against robots, you have to be without a personal shield, wich is a death sentence against any Robot that uses rockets, since they are one hit death, which forces you to reload in cover. So the developers did solve the Bug issue with walkers, but not the Robots at all. Which is also why the community is about 85% playing against Bugs and the rest against robots.

Between the stash space limitations, having to re-farm aspects, the time it takes to level glyphs… I just don’t have 100+ hours per character to spend, especially if it’s better to roll a new character than to try and change a build up. I’d rather sink time into 1 eternal realm character and be able to try different builds. The whole game is a mess honestly, there’s no reason to grind nightmare dungeons, I don’t think stash, codex, and affix changes is enough. The skill tree is laughable compared to its competitors, games like this should be about build experimentation and should respect the people’s time that can’t play games as a full time job.

    So here's what I think is wrong about mid-cycle surveys about lasting changes inherent in the game: This game did not have enough end-game content for me to continue playing, so I went back to playing PoE Affliction league, as I'm sure was true for many other people (not necessarily the PoE part), therefore I'm also assuming this next statement is also true: people that quit the game like I did before March most likely did not see this survey and were unable to give their opinions as a result. Now, assuming that's the majority of players (as you would, due to player drop-offs in every ARPG are massive after the first couple weeks) I'd like to see how many players that have stopped playing would have preferred the PoE route of only nerfing a skill if that skill is trashing the servers.
    If a developers are going to give a survey that changes the way they develop the game in the future, they need to give/provide a link to that survey both in-game and at the beginning of the season, when they have the most players playing. And maybe, even have that survey last for the entire league as to get the highest percentage of players' opinions. Also, give your players incentive to take the survey. In my experience, the only people that fill out surveys that have zero incentive are the people that have a problem with the way things are/want to see something changed. It isn't enough to tell your players they want to communicate with them. Without incentive, people that didn't want things to change probably weren't going to vote on this topic anyway, assuming the devs would just do as they said they'd do earlier in the year.

If i went back it would have to be a whole new game because i slammed it from May to dec in 2023. I got one character left to get to 100 and im in no rush to get back on until they add more end game content thats new. Be awhile, maybe once the expansion comes out it will add more content. They need a better stash tab with loadouts that can easily switch between them, and builds needs to add more to make them fun and unique. I feel like uniques dont add enough flare, its just more stats to stack stats. Things that will make it exciting to play a class to add that unique because it makes your fire balls turn into dragons or something crazy. If not just playing the last character i need will be fun but not enough fun to play more then a season. Season 2 was the best season and i feel bad whoever missed it.

More competition and ideas for great ideas really do help the genre. I really do feel lucky that we live in a real golden age for ARPG and I'm excited to see more releases.

    Arrowhead is doing the best job I've ever seen about a game RP and Lore. They are really keeping their players entertained not only within the game itself, but also out of it.

    Poor D4 had so much potential. It had cool features and smooth UI, just some meat missing from the burger. LE has been a really fun, tho. TY Rhykker! ☕️

    UA-cam is a drama echo chamber. D4 is a fun game for dozens if not 100+ hours at a base level before systems fatigue and shortage of long term endgame loops crop up. The game hasn’t even been out a year or gotten an expansion yet, and folks are whining about how it compares to games in EA for 5+ years or live for over a decade. People need to touch grass and chill tf out. Looking forward to new D4 content.

    If you want to get wasted, just take a shot for every time Rhykker says 'hope' in the diablo 4 section.

    The game is 50% off on steam, and I still refuse to buy it.
