Yeah, I think it's pretty universally agreed that d4 has gotten better over time. But the quality at release, has got some people feeling pretty Wounded, even still

it’ll be even better when it leaves early access

I think you opened your list of people that like you instead of the Diablo 4 client.

Full campaign, nightmare dungeons, Uber end game boss, myriad other activities to grind, and world boss mount armor to chase. But yeah the game launched with no content and nothing to do. Is it barren because it doesn’t have a minimap overlay?

nice loving game. how many months is this poo poo supposed to have been released and fixed now?

heading to the world boss, and immediately upon zone in, drops me out of the world. can't do anything, world map's black out, can't tp, etc. had to alt + f4 and of course as soon as i'm back in the game, world boss already dead.

Man that sucks. That’s never happened to me once in 700+ hours. Must be unlucky. The good thing is that they reduced the world boss timer so try again soon friend.

See the problem is Diablo 4 isn't a very good game, so defending it takes a toll on a person. Imagine doing it for months, seasons come and go, and you're still here. Playing D4. Having fun. It would break lesser men.

Even though Diablo 3 has its own repeating the same content endlessly, it's so much faster to get directly into and complete, The gameplay loop is really fast. D4 feels like a chore in comparison.

it's a loot filter issue. every modern arpg shits out loot. it stems from a larger issue the game has, which is that they shipped it with just barely enough stuff to do to form any sort of loop and just made everything take forever to do to simulate content.

Itemization has too much poo poo to it. Too many buckets. Dilutes the pool since most suck for your build.

Letting us enchant two stats would be a good bandaid. Better would be combining all them into a few buckets focusing overpower, crit damage, and cc damage. Vulnerable is fine as its own thing that increases all buckets.

Is there a reason there are only like 20 dungeons in the nightmare pool? Does it change every season? Serious question.

Yeah it rotates between a set fraction. Ghoa Ruins should be every season imo.

Yeah there's a new list of 30 each season. Some are usually better for Character XP (lots of enemies), some are usually better for Glyph XP (run right to the boss), and some are just garbage for everything

They're only semi randomly generated so they feel repetitive. Now that they give an absurd mountain of Glyph XP for each run, you can ease up on the NMD Grinding imho

This is one of those things I am expecting the expansion will address. The itemization will almost for sure get condensed down to something actually reasonable eventually. Blizzard does this with all of their games, so that is why I am expecting it.

i haven't had my bag fill up yet on a single run on a rift and then i can just go back to town and junk it all, but yeah it would be nice to not have junk cluttering the inventory slots

Maybe it's a me-issue but inspecting every item in my bag takes me a long time because of the gigantic pool of stats that are only slightly different.
Then the formatting of most mods take up multiple lines, together with the blob of text from special affixes makes it so a lot of items stretch out from the top of my screen all the way down to the bottom.

I wish the item tooltips were wider, the affix text more condensed and the pool of generic damage/defensive mods to be smaller.

Oh no it's an everybody-issue that the loot has too many affixes. I forget the specifics but they're targeting a season in the future (4?) to have a new Loot System entirely, I want to say? It's been one of the most firmly held & frequently repeated concerns about the game since launch

Like make the 5 tree point one always be part of the season set but the non special nmds award 1, 2, or 3 points depending on if the dungeon is normal, sacred, or ancestral.

Destiny 2 has a seasonal artefact that increases in power as you level up, and then next season you get a new artefact you have to level up all over again. That's also where you get the weird seasonal powers like the current season where solar guns make everything explode so much sometimes it throws up an error code and boots you to orbit.

Also power becomes meaningless in Destiny past a certain point because of caps and limitations on which activities in which you can use the artefact's power boost, but in Diablo terms they should just let you keep getting as many paragon points as you like, and then at the start of the new season it resets.

Just don't make us relevel the glyphs, that would suck.
