They are everywhere… clogging up the discussion forum and all over other platforms. It’s the cool thing to do I guess

I would add horrible skill system, skill balance, and the last but not least the star of the show - spender/generator system.

I feel bad for you.

It is common misconception - people like you just don't understand that those who critisize D4 - critisize D4. They doesn't bring up D2 or anything else as an argument.

The only argument is pretty simple - D4 is a bad game.

Troll? Camera - it is horrible, not matter how much time I play I'm constantly mad about camera and trying to zoom out.

itemization - can't look at it without tears, even you agree.

What do you mean by game engine? Yes, gameplay is fast, but this doesn't mean it is good. Player end up in two states - you nuke entire screens not matter how, or you get struggling with constant CCs and low mana/resource.

If by engine you mean graphics - it is still bad for me, I can't see character or monsters properly, the visual style still itself still sits close to D3. Characters are ugly, cut scenes are also ugly.

Dunno....most are prolly so indoctrinated into blizzard they can't see anything else. Sooooo many games released that show just how laughable this company and game are. Games a solid 4/10 cause the sound and cinematic team pull heavy

Blizzard showed their hand long ago and they continue to play it and I won't be apart of their failing company.

really? can you name a modern game that is as good as d2? (well, as good as u think d2 is)

D2jsp is a very bad metrics of amount of players active in any other game than D2.
As much as I love and will continue to use d2jsp, it's really outdated for newer titles, where items are based on rares and not easily searchable unique names and runes.
And this is not to say jsp should or could change. No doubt njaguar would be able to modernize it so it could pull the item data from and IMG into an easier searchable and sortable system. But no doubt this could pull unnecessary attention to the site.

I got 103 battle.net friends. and at least 75% of them are people I've meet through D2R. out of 48 online, 2 people are playing D2R and 12 D4.







Glad you liked my take on it. but again it very subjective from person to person. But saying this game is literally unplayable is a stretch, maybe for that specific individual person. But from my understanding most people posting very harsh critic about the game, actually do not game anything themselves.
Rating systems are also very hard to subjectify. But for me it's more like:
10/10 - How the dafuq did you miss that game in your lifetime.
9/10 - A masterpiece in the genre. Would recommend it to friends even if they are not into the genre, because it may convert you.
8/10 - Very good game would recommend and play with friends
7/10 - You got to be into the genre, would buy for a mate to play it together.
6/10 - You really have to love the genre for it to be worth you while. I would not recommend to to friends if they are not actively playing it already.
5/10 - Should honestly not be worth you time.
4/10 - Game is to buggy or flawed to use your time on. Gotta be early release or with huge patches in sight.
1-3/10 - Game is straight up a scam.

D4 in my opinion went from 4/10 to 6/10.
all the base points are music, art and graphics, fluidity of gameplay, performance. + lower points from already in place meeh systems which are already present in the game.
+10% point When/if they do something about the late game at 80+ We are talking full fat sigil maps with exciting mechanics in each of them. How PoE has it at least back when I played it many moons ago. More uber version of bosses events.
+10% point Full overhaul of the UI/UX for PC. Huge and searchable stashes and way to easily storage things that shouldn't be in stash like maps, gems and aspects. I want a full fat easily to navigate menu, all features you desire and social aspects easily navigated.
+15% point Full overhaul. We need full loot filter both on ground and in inventory. We straight up need removable of some stats and new stats added to the items/game. Way more exiting crafting systems, maybe even a corrupt type of system. Things added like runes, sets and hugely altered unique items.
+5% point for skill/stat altering. I do kinda like what they got going with skills + paragon system. But kinda miss 1 more system added on top of that for the extra late game. 90+. Maybe some altering surrounding resource management in the game.

All these points should involve the key aspects of a good ARPG. I think we got around things like: QoL features, endgame, itemization, socials and Builds.
If done pretty more flawlessly the game would go from 6/10 to 8.5/10
The extra bit to reach the previously mentioned 9/10. Would be done in diverse less "important" systems like renown changes, pvp, early game questing etc.

We gotta remember ARPGs specially with emphasis on seasonal system, almost always launch in a barebones state and evolve from there.
That's not say everything will work as hoped. It can turn the game into a 3/10 in a matter of a single broken patch.

- Obviously English is not my native language. So things may come out wrong and/or be explained in a wrong tone or matter.
