ooks and feels like more diablo 3

the monster density also looks bad, but hopefully that changes. the developers should honestly do more testing in lategame scenarios. maybe im biased, but i feel like the core arpg player tends to rush through early/mid game and spends >90% of their playtime in lategame scenarios, in search of high monster lvl + high monster density

They're very confused. Also still sticking with the abysmal damage numbers based on that lvl 44 axe dmg.

It's like they're throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.



I didn’t even look at the damage on that axe, just checked it out and by god

Not even any damage modifiers on that particular one.

This tells me one of two things

They are likely going to bring back the level 60 cap, based on the damage scaling of shit like that axe

OR

The scaling is going to go so fucking wild we will be looking at trillions of damage.

Either way I hate it.

D4 look like a clone of Diablo 3.

D2R is where it's at for the Diablo fan.

It’s like they didn’t listen to fans AT ALL.

But

just looking at those itemization give me aids, some one plz bitch slap some sense to the lead designer. but hey I got d2r now with new update, might skip this game entirely.



Reading and watching this makes me sad.

To be fair a lot of skills and mechanics look giga sick - my absolute favorite is the Whirlwind animation tied to the actual movement of the weapon. Absolute incredible <3

but so many things are looking exceptional aweful.
when it comes to skill trees / endgame / affixes and stats etc.
It’s all an absolute mess and gets worse every Quater?

Idk please help me if I miss something

thats because they still believe there r positive shit they can savage from d3, dont get me wrong there r indeed something they can savage from d3. but itemization and end game system not one of those.

Well.... it was a bit dis-heartening to say the least.

This newest update is really indicating they are moving in the direction of a massive Diablo 3 patch rather than a new game that expanded upon good ideas from each game in the series.

I just can't agree with this seeming approach and my reasoning is:


-- A mixup of good ideas across the series being expanded upon / worked into new ideas to create a brand new experience is something I would pay the "entrance fee" for.

-- A Diablo 3 clone with trading awkwardly worked in is something I would have no interest in. I can simply fire up Diablo 3.

-- I don't hate Diablo 3 -- in fact, I am playing the current season because sometimes it is just fun to play a game that doesn't require 100%, constant hyper-focus / around-the-corner insta-deaths.

-- Diablo 2 (D2R included) is still the superior game overall, but, I am starting to respect a lot more why people lean towards Diablo 3 in a lot of ways. Life's responsibility is rough and character investment in Diablo 2 is far, far more time consuming.


Anywho - just my 2 cents. Have a nice evening everyone.
