didnt realize it had pvp, fair enough i suppose

the xp changes still sound like garbage tho, seems like they dont benefit anyone that plays the game

yes but since increases in player power tends to outpace monster scaling (which is why players are able to right "overleveled" monsters in the first place), and since monster density isn't changed with world tier, "kill monsters faster at lower difficulties" runs into diminishing returns very quickly - at some point you're already killing them as fast as you can anyway

yeah i guess if youre already one shotting monsters it makes sense to bump the difficulty up a tier for that sweet sweet 1.5% gain rofl

please tell me that blizzard sells xp boosts for real money

possibly, they have a couple tiers of season pass (lol)
i think the exp boosts on there are free but get you in the door to buy the premium one to get more hats or whatever

i dont know whats in the season passes cause i dont play games with season passes and i cant imagine why diablo would need one

well blizzard could probably tap into the tiktok api and do this with their actual npcs and just make an extreme amount of bank for doing nothing

it's extremely lol because it's like "it's a new season, you have to level from scratch" and/or "we nerfed your class, you have to level a new one to stay on top"

and then they combine it with "it is now harder to level"

i feel like blizzard is still salty the rmah didn't work out. they had plans for how much insane money it was going to make and it didnt work out, so grudgingly had to shift d3 development into making something good without monetization. that will never be allowed to happen again.

being only able to assign 6 skills at a time is really what makes d4 loving suck, especially since its very obvious which skills need to be picked with each other skills and because elemental damage doesnt really matter anymore, youre stuck with locking in on a single build and facerolling like its an mmo

it's hard to express how much of a mess it is that the above is also true of D3, but also D4 decides to regress its design by a couple of additional steps on top of that

this starts to happen when your skills start hitting better i think

i had a broken build that did big damage per hit and enemies would just fly off screen when it hit them lol

Aw dang, if there was ONE company I expected to not make their lovely grindfest game worse so they could milk more player hours and thus more opportunities to spend money on horse armor cosmetics it would be Bethesda EA Ubisoft Activision-Blizzard.
