So because you personally don't find it enjoyable you made it your life mission to sit online and moan about D4. I don't fully understand the logic here.
I suppose if you were making legitimate thoughtful points, perhaps on the Blizzard forums maybe a developer would see and garner an idea? I don't know.
You're multiple weeks in now. You don't like the game. People got that. First couple days, sure, vent your frustration and disappointment but I dont think you want to end up like the people who sat on the D3 forums despite saying they put 20 hours in D3 but still posting about those 20 hours they hated 10 years later on the same sub.
You're missing the point here, he's not alone:-Diablo is the heart of the arpg world, with it's own uniqueness in it's presentation and style.
It's Different.-D3 was in development for 10+ years, we didn't even think it was coming; once it released, it fell flat on it's face. Huge let down. (My copy; still new in it's box.)
-Blizzard tried to then take the entire Diablo franchise and
MOBILIZE it. We fought back. Would have been the end, literally. (How many people would have cancer from playing those games?)
-D2R came out, and a sigh of relief. (FINALLY, something positive from this company.)
-They released the disgusting Diablo-Mobile game. (but it didn't matter, they were working on non-mobile D4)
-We were waiting on D4 to deliver; after 10 years of development (again) and Blizzard literally just copied a hated concept. Literal copy pasta. From the camera view, to the sloppy combat look.
20+ years to give us a good Diablo II successor. And the best they can do is Diablo 3 Part II - Mud Edition. It's a spit in the face. It shows us that the devs don't listen. People holding up D2 for 20+ years are dunked on to please mobile-atm-playerbase.
Besides the look; I could give the devs ideas all day long on how to make an exciting game with EXTREME replay value (I get bored FAST, but I'm creative as hell). But instead we get a mediocre, run of the mill, lazy by design, repetitive & tedious nonsense. Can they at least give people the basics, free open trading, an item system that makes sense, no scaling (at least not everywhere), better looking combat. I don't see a lot of this changing, so it's as is.
We just don't want the franchise to crash and burn, because there's a distinction here that is not found anywhere else; yet the devs overlook this and try to copy other games; play it safe, when we are like HELLO, you are UNIQUE, you are DIFFERENT, YOU are the Standard. DO YOU! BUT DO IT BETTER!
It's people who support this garbage that signals to the devs "uh der, people buy dis, we make dis again". They follow the numbers, so spreading the word, and revealing the flaws is worth it.
Look at D2R. They hit the nail on the head there; so what's the excuse for the D3 Clone?
