Even on my 77 Flurry Rogue I've noticed a good bit of more squish and less dmg. I was able to easily run through NMD 34's but the last couple I did were pretty hairy and died a few times. Was on my potion button almost every fight with any elites. I don't like it, feels so bad when before it was so good and never died. Was thinking I'd start with another Rogue but I've decided Necro will be the one. That one still seems, for the build I made with minions, that it'll still be pretty solid.
I don't know anything about D2, but at least this seems cool.
This is where it came from, specifically the teleport.
It was one of the best and worst sorcerer items specifically because you got teleported to a random location, and it was so annoying to use that it basically made the item not worth the trade off. So... yeah. Some things never change I guess.
At this point, I'm half expecting a hotfix patch that activates your season pass unlock for this first season lol
At least now we know where the devs who couldn't figure out 'listening to the players' went.
That to me implies Diablo 4 is actually engineered worse than D3 because the D3 seasons/patches have pretty extensive public test time and the team there has occasionally completely rework what abilities get affected by sets or legendaries etc. between start of testing and finishing a few weeks later, and presumably it's a skeleton crew in the first place.
Yea, I can see it being content locked and trying to minimize major changes. But with a non-functional item, disabling it like they did aspects would have been a sound call to make. Right now, I can't help but feel like incompetent people are running things.
Yeah, to be fair i'm willing to let it rock for the first season. But if the second season feels like minimal effort like that one, i think i'll be done with the game.
Probably, and it's a good thing. They need to actually listen, rather than thinking that they know better, because they proved once again that they don't.
It's kinda funny that this game is following the exact trajectory of Diablo 3. They tried the whole really hard/slow thing at launch and had to overhaul the whole game after six months IIRC correctly. Like, eerily similar.
Yep. Inferno was.... rough. But then again so was >50% of drops being for another class. But hey we got the RMAH to fix that!
Yep, it is fundamentally what makes nearly all uniques in the game trash. You lose out on the customization of stats, which would be perfectly fine if the unique stats on the item were ya know, uniquely good. They aren't.
They skipped the real money auction house which isn't surprising because MTX make them way more money probably (although now I can't sell items to recoup my money, sadly) but yea otherwise it's following the same unsuccessful trajectory of an immensely popular game trying to aim at only super hardcore people. But also not in a way that's fun. And it's failing everyone instead.
It's funny because like, my experience is essentially the same with both too. My friends and I played on release, sorta had fun until the end game (except making fun of the terrible painful writing in D3, D4 was at lest not Manos levels), then realized what a mess it was, grind a little bit, and drop it until months of patches later. Time will tell if they actually correct it in D4 but it's just unbelievable that game leads didn't learn from the in-house previous entry of the series. Like you could not have it easier.
lol
Because all of the seasonal stuff was cooked and done back in November. What kills me is that they aren't going to try and give Sorcerer and Necro some survivability love to bridge the gap until its fixed.
Yeah, i think they also need to completely change the way they are communicating when it comes to patches. They need to actually post some stuff, some bullet points on what they're trying to do. Bring some hype with some changes on Twitter first.
I swear, Reddit is legit helping me to cope right now
The new Necro unique is for Bome Storm getting huge boosts from sacrificing minions is Blizzard just trolling me at this point. Someone over there really hates minions which is why I keep accentuating my posts with the laughing man, because it really feels that way.
