I just logged on D4 after taking a week long hiatus from it...was able too handle about 40 minutes of it before just realizing how completey dog shit the game is. The mechanics are just so insanely bad. CC outta no where, Get stuck, etc. Just a dog shit game. Leveled too 95 not sure if ill reach 100 gonna take forever and see absolutely zero point in it. Maybe the Worst Diablo game every made imo.

Yup same here. I've spent the last 40 hours of my free time playing BG3. Decided to play d4 this morning for the first time in weeks. Played for about 20minutes and then quit. There is nothing enjoyable about this game. In the beginning I had fun, but it's so repetitive. Acquiring renown, leveling and then what? There is literally nothing to do in this game that I haven't already achieved in Pre-season. I'm sitting at level 94, and I probably won't play it again, there's no incentive to even get to 100. Game is made by ESPN+ people who really spent more time developing "inclusiveness" by allowing you to play as a transgender weirdo than they did with level design and end-game content.

no

youre realizing that you dont know whats going on at the top but trying to figure it out.
lll give you a topical nugget, blizzard irvine bought out the then blizzard north to squash d2. its intellectual integrity was a competitor of its other flagships and that was part of a larger agenda to dismantle gaming that could act as a real catharsis, something dark forces did not want in any way.
d2's success was a measure of how badly people wanted gaming catharsis and how well the og'ers imagined it.

a light hearted version of diablo aka d2 w/ good concepting, catharsis, and interaction(voice even) especially online was the fire the dark reality didn't want. a reason gem never got activated.
the gem was never activated because you can use gems in real life to deactivate alpha beta brain wave states. take it from a master holy ghosting pvp hdin.

however at the topical spiritual level its because they dont want people interacting positively hence sewing "discord" - that plays into divide and conquer. to this day thats the reason all of blizzard chat venues fail miserably and the same reason yahoo/aol was transitioned.
if they were successful people would essentially have a free online college to talk to each other by. now you know why college is so expensive. the risk of people coming together and socializing has to be stipulated by insane authoritative rules and money.
in blizzards case its just broken chat functions.

it a trickle down system, so least common denominator thinking only works at the top.

Are you saying d2 was too good for humanity to exist, and that’s why They bought out blizz north to make shittier games?

My god it all makes sense. If blizz north stayed together we would have had Obama in 04 and harambe would be alive

im wearing to many c19 masks for your contrived word in mouth bait to flourish.

LOL that's a solid post.

I thought it was going to be good, I was into the hype train, then I had hands on, and couldn't fucking stand it.
