    -Fixed multiple issues where players were having fun
    -Fixed multiple issues where the sorcerer wasn't already weak enough
    -Fixed multiple issues where players were excited for season 1
    -Reduced player base by 70%
    -Increase time spent with family by 30%

    As a druid, the only fun build I found was a cooldown reduction build. It was the only build where I wasn't just spamming my resource generator until it was time to cast pulverize again. I got to cast my spells a lot, and that made it feel dynamic and interesting. I don't see any reason to keep playing if I can't play the game the way I enjoy it.

    I love the way they advertised and spoke about the game up to launch being so diverse in the ways you as the player will be able to play the game the way you want to play the game then every other week since launch there’s been almost nothing but nerf updates basically dictating how you actually need to play the game. Level 95 Barb, yes still not even max level before season one will begin and they just neutered by build.

    So they basically addressed all areas of the game that were at least "ok" and gave the players some fun and made them worse and the areas that were bad to begin with they did not even touch.
    Alright then. Good job.

      they couldn't change too much because Season 1 was created during development and they were afraid making deep changes would have big consequences on it. Personally I'm waiting for loot 2.0, affixes 2.0, Skill Trees 2.0, Paragon Boards 2.0, Dungeons 2.0, ... Diablo 4.5 in other words. They will have to hustle in the next 3 months because I'm sure the higher ups aren't too pleased with them.

      The math isn't that difficult. It's the arbitrary rules that don't make any sense, so you can't follow the "logic". Last Epoch - the only game I beat entirely without a single alt-tab to check something online. Anything I needed to know to progress my char, the game taught it to me. And gave me the tools to work for my goals. A shining example of how it can be done with X times less money.

    I’m always amazed at how clueless they seem to be in regards to what customers want.
