I mean, it already is a good game.


I can think of improvements.

They could add more PVP options, overlay map, an item filter, better mount mechanics... just a few.

Better itemization. More unique items that change or define builds. Damn fucking item sets. More socketables instead of only gems. Make glyphs socketable or something similar.

Not tying damn caster skills to weapon damage

Item level requirements tied to item power tier. Level 100 req items is absolutely retarded unless it's like shako.

Make items trade able with restrictions. Maybe clan based or something.


Basically fix items. It's a game about items. If the items are boring the game is boring. Idc about end game. No arpg has ever had an 'end game' it's all the same

The only really bad thing about the game imo is the social aspect of it. Needs a group finder. One for dungeons, questing, renown hunting etc etc would have instantly made the game better.


8/10 game right now especially with the newest patch.
Season 0 and this good already really gives me great hope for the future.

To make it 10/10 I agree that they need to streamline the social aspects better.
Group finder for sure.
Guild hideout/clan hall
Maybe try making a raid, bosses and content way harder than the world bosses now that require a skilled team.

I'd also like to see all movement skills get their own button.
By that I mean add 1 extra slot to the skill bar which you can only slot mobility keyword skills into.
If a class like Sorc has 99.9% of the players using teleport, this skill should really get its own button and if you look at the meta for example every build uses a mobility skill.
It's fun to go fast.

I'd like to see them try some more stuff with PvP.
Let clans fight over and control the strongholds.
A % of all money spent in the nearest city of the stronghold gets sent to that clans coffers.

World Tier 5, more Capstone Dungeons, and Uber Bosses are probably already being developed along with the 6th class.

Post comments on how the game could be an actual good game


Instead of trying to change Diablo 4; how about Blizzard just split Diablo into 2 running franchises. The way that Marvel and DC are doing alternate universes.
Blizzard is laser focused on the mobile gaming money drip; you're not going to change their mind on their direction.

Let the mobile style Immortal/D3/D4 be a different universe. Where everything is more simplified, scaled levels, isolated pvp, doing it's own thing, put cain on a cross and throw darts at him; I don't care, go dumb with this one.
While D1/D2/D2R can be the Premium Brand; with the well thought out item system; no scaling, open pvp; fully open trading, better story development, cain is still alive but he's a cyborg now, and the other elements to keep the classic Diablo experience alive and intact.

Because this "good as it is" D4 game can't hold my attention, even if you paid me big partner bucks to play it.

2 different styles of games running simultaneously, is realistically the best that Blizzard can do.

As long as they keep updating both branches, I don't care what they do in D4.

No screen spam (bam/pow/biff) even some of the skills that just make a black blob on the screen and you can't see anything... awful.

More uniques with modifiers other than damage

Less rare/legendary drops so you don't have to look at 80 items/run

No smart loot, less class specific items.

Less exploding monsters, more monster variety (immunities!) So you can't just spam the same skill to kill everything. Maybe you need a party, maybe you need dual element in certain areas for your char.

Open trading

Social interactions, ways to find a party

No level scaling...there are world tiers for a reason. If you want to play with your level 3 friend, make a new toon.

Maybe diablo should be in the game???

Make windforce great again

Zoom out the camera

No hardcore potions/scrolls

Open world pvp

Remove paragon boards, more skill points for skills adds to build variety. ...Do I want this skill to be really strong, or more balanced between these two... paragon boards are trash as is.

Simplify the damage, get rid of stupid damage modifiers. Vulnerable, damage while chilled, damage while close, damage while eating smores... Holy fuck these mods are shit and make the damage scale exponentially instead of linerally which makes pvp shit. (5 levels lower...well you're fucked)


Uniques, runes, runewords...something to grind for in endgame other than the mystical shako that hasn't been found in North America.... but then you would need to be able to trade them...


I don't think they are fixing this game.

The likelyhood that ever happens, is zero... because there is no reason to, why? Because some are disgruntled it isn't D2 2.0 or whatever they seem to have wanted. You don't like it, that sucks... but I do enjoy the game..

What was so complex about d2? Holding down the clicker and placing 500 points into vitality? The synergized skills you was forced to take when making a build? Not a thing was complex about d2. Stop pretending please.
