The question everybody has to ask themselves is:
Is this game worth my time?
My personal opinion is that, keeping up with Blizzard and what’s occurred so far in pre season, 1 and now going into 2: this company will say whatever they need to try and retain their player base, but the actual work they put out is reskins, regurgitated mechanics, and half finished content.
They are driven by player metrics. So even if they’re buffing exp and saying they want to speed up leveling - that is counter intuitive to their goal of keeping you playing and ideally experiencing multiple opportunities to buy cosmetics. They might buff it today, but there will be a new mechanic introduced to “slow you down” later.
However I want to like the game. So my perspective is: give us a full good season, with new and interesting content, that is well liked/enjoyed by players. Once that has happened, I will return the next season.
But blizz can suck my left nut if they think I’m going to beta test their game while Larian is out here putting out bangers like Baldurs Gate 3. Why would I waste my time with an inferior product and company when the new standard for RPG has been set?
