Patch actually ruined the entire game. The D4 balance team are fucking idiots.
"In order to deal with people complaining about world scaling we will make the world stop scaling after it no longer matters" like that's the exact fucking opposite of what it should do. It should start off weak and end up stronger once you have the tools to deal with it. No one needs mlvl95 on their clvl100. It's the 15-40 range where leveling up fucks you and makes you weaker. That's the area world scaling needs to be adjusted down.
Helltide literally no longer worth it. You get 1 cinder every 3-5 packs now which is like 20-40 kills instead of 2-6 per pack with a chance at a 12ish drop. The monsters that spawn in events during helltide actually just don't drop cinders anymore? Only the chest at the end of the event, and it gives like 7? 2-4 minutes depending on the event? Like 1.5 cinders per minute? And on top of that they made the chest 250? Why the fuck would anyone do it? Oh that's right because you fucking have to if you want to craft for the chance of getting any usable gear.
Nerfing the shit out of vuln and crit is an extremely shitty way to deal with those being the most popular stats. Like how about you just buff the other stats to bring them in line with the power of the most used? And have a better stat screen so people can see how the other stats actually fucking effect their damage? And be way more open with what certain things actually mean? Like what is "close" and "distant"? Why even use those words? Why not say melee and ranged? Is a ranged unit right beside you cuz you're melee close or distant? What about the dude one step back cuz you're attacking the guy beside him? So incredibly stupid.
"We saw a lot of people using CDR, so to make it more fair for the people who didn't care about CDR we are going to make the stat completely useless now" like??!? Why punish the people who like a specific stat?
"We noticed that everyone was getting their main stat on weapons, so we decided to nerf the fuck out of those values" why even have fucking stats if you're going to get angry and punish people for fucking building around that main stat???
Maybe I would pick close/distant damage if it was actually fucking clear what that means and actually fucking clear how it adjusts my damage. But I know if I get 150 Dex on my weapon my tooltip increases by 2000 damage so clearly I'm going to pick the things that have a fucking noticable impact? Fix your goddamn idiotic stat screen.
Also have rogue specific complaints but that's not for here.
Someone copy/paste this to the d4 forum, I don't use it.
+1
Totally retarded up approach... And that +25% dmg on all doesnt change that those changes are just fucking stupid. Really insanely stupid.
