I prefer grief zerker on my bow zon. Really throws people for a loop in pvp

No, the newest patch doesn't show that, or any of the above.

The new patch shows that the people at blizzard realized they had the same problem as the people who made d3 on release. That is, the content they thought would take you forever, didn't actually take you forever. New content is expensive to make and takes time. D3 on launch was supposed to take players months just to beat act 2 torment, because you needed to get gear from act 4 to do it. This game has a similar problem, and hence the patch. The most stupid thing(management wise) they did was increase the xp at one point a few weeks ago because it let every single person, including the dads who play 2 hours a week to hit 100 much sooner where they would soon realize there wasn't much point in playing beyond hitting 100.

So, in order to stretch out the game that doesn't have any content coming its way and keep you playing and new people buying it(they CARE WAY MORE ABOUT THIS and keeping these people playing, they already got your money, and these noobs will just think the season 1 patch is just the default), they NERFED everything, including the time to travel between dungeons, and at one point had some d4 representative(dev) tell you its ok you can go play something else prior to its release.

Without a good replayability loop, these ARPGS are never worth more than $20, since the game itself is so short and lacks a whole lot of depth beside that. You're not paying for good storytelling, immersion, etc. You're experiencing that fact right now, despite, well, it being obvious before the game released that it would probably suck because the items(main source of replayability loop) suck. And no, when they introduce the D3 style sets, it will not fix itemization being bad.

It’s so true. The hoto eschuta cmoon trinity is deeper than this entire game. The possibility of getting a 6 point ring is more exciting than any item in this entire game. I could go on forever. I want to like D4 so bad but it’s just so damn shallow.

BA ftw.

anthem is a perfect example, but the industry has been following the same model for years.

they build the entire game, strip it and sell it to us as new / seasonal content.

whenever you here "optimized" it's because they took something out to add it as content later to extend the flow of money.

the entire gaming industry is designed to manipulate it's fan base into buying more. that's it. the only reason we get constant seasonal resets is because everyone started boycotting pay to win games.

the gaming industry is creatively nerfed. this is what we have to look forward to for years to come.

You are arguing my point for me. Killed the game for casual players, only made it possible to do everything for the no lifers

Unless they scaled the whole thing to torment levels of early D3, game is probably very playable, just longer(clearly intended). Dads leveling to like level 30 with 2 hours per week aren't going to notice the differences. You're just not going to blitz the whole thing anymore. And the people buying it will not notice the difference, even if casual. The true casuals aren't max level, or just got there prior to s1

Im having a big fun, ty

What do you the mass majority of D2 players do? Quit. That's why population falls off the cliff after 1-2 weeks of ladder reset.

That's ARPGS in a nutshell. Same thing with POE seasons. Get your fill and move on.

And then what?

This is not a joke, this is our LIFE
