a simple checklist for hiring managers, that would also weed out 98% of the current dev team:

1. Does the applicant know what a HoZ is?

2. If asked about the famous green cap during the interview, did they say it was a harlequin crest or shako?


if they got those two questions right, i'd say hire them asap! already ahead of the curve!

Diablo 5 Devs need to understand that it would benefit thejr company to release a good game.

Sure, D4 made hundreds of millions - but it could have made so much more if money would have continued to flow AFTER release.

Itemization is key, maybe they'll learn.

sadly they won't. there is no passion and heart left. it's all just listen to their corporate overlords while getting that juicy FAANG salary

And why cant their corporate overlords not figure out that 1 and 1 is 2?

This is ridiculous.

just look at rod's wikipedia page and all the games he produced. they put someone that has no arpg experience in charge of a game that is supposed to be diablo's spiritual successor. it really makes no sense, sadly

they definitely have the technology, art and programming power..

Every idiot can figure out what the problem is, no pro experience needed.

yeah that's true. seems like the average jsper could prob take rod's place, and the game could turn around real quick

they need someone who has played diablo for a good amount of time and knows the arpg genre in and out
