PoE-style dedicated tabs would be absolutely killer, especially for seasonal stuff. Organizing the malignant gems was a pain.

I had a nightmare dungeon where all the boars were invisible. Also ran into a couple of invisible walls where my bone spear would bounce off of. Game needs work.

Phanatic posted:Loot in this game sucks infinitely more than in D2. I dont think its as simple as just "loot sucks". D2 loot sucked in the pre-LoD era too, because you had a fuckton of utterly useless Uniques (a trend carried on from D1) and also, about 99% of Set Items were also TRASH. So you just had a total of like 5-6 named uniques and set items that were good and then you had the rng rare items which everyone used on almost every build. Not much different from D4 in the current state to be fair. BUT the item properties of D2 did not suck, because the core game systems behind them were good. Here are a few for reference Hit Recovery - Good Life/Mana steal - Good +all skills / +specific skills - Good Resistances - Good Elemental/Physical damage - Good Armor / Damage Reduction - Good Crushing Blow/Open wounds/Knockback/Ignore Defense - Good Magic Find - Apparently people debate over this, but I think it is good Attack Rating - Not so good but OK, stacking high AR did feel good Cast rate / Attack speed - Good Block chance & Speed - Good Then LoD came and brought much more to the game in terms of properties and unique mechanics on items, but this is not currently comparable to D4 Now, D4 loot does suck very hard too, but it is not as easy to fix because the core mechanics behind the item properties are total JUNK. Here's some: Critical chance / Critdamage (general or conditional) - JUNK Lucky hit - JUNK Overwhatever hit - JUNK Resistances - Doesn't work, JUNK Dodge chance - JUNK Conditional Damage Reduction - JUNK Conditional damage (close/wounded/distant enemies etc) - JUNK Vulnerable - JUNK +all skills - JUNK (seriously how did they even manage this..?) Barrier / Fortify - JUNK There's a few which are OK though Resource generation - Good Class specific Cost Reduction - Good Cooldown Reduction - Good Attack speed - Good Specific +skills - Good My point is, they would have to make another game altogether in order to do away with all these crap systems which make itemization in the game bad. This can't be done. Conversely though, Diablo 3 also has CRAP items too but people continue to play it and say it is a good game Mr. Pickles fucked around with this message at 09:11 on Sep 28, 2023 |

Rock Puncher posted:Increased light radius.. now there's a stat from when little boys were men and little girls were FBI agents D4 could benefit a lot from a Light Radius mechanic to determine mob aggro radius though. In d2, low light meant you could not see far but the mobs could not see you either

Yeah the whole 60 sided conditional damage model is hot garbage designed by The Riddler. I'd be worried even adding a useful damage calculator into the game just because it would lay bare the pants on head clown math. Getting rid of that will fix 70% of the gear problem.

Also status quantity aside, the items are completely disconnected from the effects. For example: Why is this hammer causing more damage to chilled enemies? Is it fiery? Is it because it's a blunt weapon? No. It's just a different stat range. You can replace it with anything. They went with that, instead of working with variables like range, speed, weight, physical damage type (blunt,piercing, slashing), + X amount of elemental damage types. So instead of something like "Great Fiery Soulhammer" which is a hammer great against living and armored targets, you get "Damnation Flesh Lurker" which is a random list of conditions that's 12% better against anything you farted on 5 seconds after calling it a bitch. And that's a change they brought over from D3 and made worse by further diluting it.

Legendary aspects being interchangeable among gear slots is a good idea in theory but in practice it kind of eliminates loot identity. When you're endgame item farming, seeing some monster cough up an UNID'd [Diadem] or primal [Sword] should feel like a truly epic event, not another chore where you have to mouse over the 3 other similar aspects in your stash to see if it's worth the cost of upgrading. Uniques were sort of intended to take this role but they're either so niche or so rare that there's not much to get excited about, and they don't even look particularly distinguisable from any other items in the game. In conclusion, Epic Loot is as much a character in Diablo as Tyrael or Cain and it was a mistake to make almost every slot indistinguishable from one another.

Mr. Pickles posted:People fail to realize that D4 was a great success. It make a fuckton of money already so the suits upstairs are content. Now all the devteam has to do is just laugh in everyone's face and provide bare minimum updates and support to the suckers who bought it until the time comes for the 1st expansion-cashgrab. Yeah the game made a staggering amount of money, and you or I would be happy with that, but the thing about capitalism is that it doesn't matter how much it DID make, it's about what it COULD have made, because that's what investors are betting on. They would have forward projected budgets based on an expectation of the game being much more "sticky" than it has been - season passes, cosmetics and obviously expansion packs eventually. Like yeah, the game LAUNCH was a success financially I agree, but moving forward the execs are likely scrambling to somehow make those projections realistic again. Which feels good to me because they're the ones who hosed the game I think, not the devs who clearly worked hard in challenging circumstances.

Considering the massive numbers D4 gets on twitch it is pretty impressive that Elon was able to live stream this on twitter with no hiccups last night. I'm guessing the D4 hardcore have already jumped to X to start streaming, as currently D4 has 400 viewers on twitch.
