Lol i thought they will constantly improve the game, but it seems they are not only stuck in D4 being shitty game, its just getting worse xD

D3 was so much better on release and improvements were huge on top of that


Hold on a minute. Diablo 3 was f*cking awful on release for a plethora of reasons. The game was practically rebuilt. Nostalgia is a funny thing.

nah i liked it. One of the things I liked was noobs crying that they are stuck in act 2 and game too hard XD

finished it first with monk with 13k dps, dual wielding daggers because they were fastest. ahh the times

don't like it as much now. Loot 2.0 (with 2 socket manticore, socketed iceclimbers etc and still enabled AH) was the best version

Act 2 nm on Diablo 3 release was like being runover by an Abrams tank for the majority of players. A complete failure from a game point of view. When you look at it from a % point of view of players, very few were getting through to Hell and a minutiae were completing the game. That sounds awesome for a driven gamer but it is not a business model and was never going to work. It is a very similar story with Diablo 4 since pre season (with regards to difficulty), the pendulum keeps swinging from the impossible to the "do it with your eyes closed" easy.

oh right but the second part of D3 difficulty was that better items dropped in later acts inferno, so if you did slug through those insanely high hp and damage monsters you were at least rewarded.

Problems were static location goblin in act 2, breaking stupid urns in act 4 and tyrael farming in act 4, and also later revealed archon glitch. Without those, the risk to reward was awesome. I may have got to do all of the above but still, finding rare ilvl 63 sword was AMAZING and would let you progress so much. Also gold was meaningful

In d4 when i started with barb on release it was just boring, barb did little to no damage and i had zero reward from it. it just felt bad, unlike d3.

This season is crap... Vaults are just recycled nm dungeons. Pet is a joke. That seasonal zone is useless (last season it was at least worth farming). Sorc class is back to dumpster (ball lightning damage reduced like 10 times + static surge nerfed so it doesn't work with enchantments) meanwhile hota barbs are still one-shotting world bosses. Duping mats are taking place more than ever. I mean last season was kinda fun but this is step back again. I don't get it, there are like hundreds of nerds working on this game and it takes them 3 months to recycle 3 dungeon maps and create a couple of new monsters and uniques. I really wanted to play this season but it is as pathetic as season 1. I bet season 2 was the first and the last good season in this game. Probably expansion will be same shit, will add another recycled dungeon mechanic, some clown class and ask for another 70$ for it.

The funny thing is; a new tile set, or a new area would have been a big easy win. This dungeon crap has to stop. It is like Gameboy programming with the original pokemon games.
