First the “new” Battle Pass
This is simply greedy. There is no reason to make it so expensive and convoluted. Stop it.
This nonesense and anti-consumer.
Season journey
This is just grindy and boring. Why? Why not specific task to the class? Why is there still some “tasks” that are weird or incedible far feteched to even fullfill? Why not some tasks tied to the “Season story”?
Season journey and Battlepass
Why is there no good free unlockable stuff? Both of these are boring grinds for no reason.
Season mechanic
A buggy, repetive mess. This is a reskin and marker for “Season Trader/Board” is missing. You buy the rep scroll are items for no reason and need to be clicked. Why? It is simply rep and does not need this step at all. Why are the Season boxes better in all regards for loot then even bosses? This is forced and stupid.
Season 8 misses a lot of QoL and simple bug fixes. Simply disappointing.
Mythics
Why are there “Meme Mythics” ? This a bad joke and the team should be ashamed.
Classes/Skills
Why are there still buggy skills ? Bloodwave still bugs out and can do ZERO damage. There are couple of skill that do not behave as they should.
Bosses
What a mess. Why are there so many invuln phases? Why is the loot so bad. Why do they lagg/clip or why are the visiuals so bad. Why are theses bosses like sad, drunk and cheap copies of PoE II/Elden Ring bosses? Do you not have any pride as devs? Be inspired but do not copy something so bad i want simply uninstall the game.
Verdict
Is this the work for university ? A job given by a prof for students? Because if not, this means a team of full educated and trained devs worked on it. What this implies is obvious.
Despite all “efforts” of the dev’s the game is still a simple “click-boom-stuff-dies-in-gore” game and can be played casual after work/school with chill fun. Which is fine but over half of the changes or addition are bad copies or even worse simply bad ideas and what is even more infuriating many, many of these bad ideas are ALREADY TESTED A MILLION TIMES by games big and small.
I have a couple questions for the devs:
Do you not play ARPGs?
Why do you not remove bad ideas?
Why do you not test more stuff on the test servers (thats their purpose)?
Why do you treat this game as if i, as a player, cant rub two braincells together?
Do you know what “Quality of Life” means in a game?
Do you play D4 ?
If so how the heck can the game such a mess?
Why is borrowed power the only thing you can think of for Seasons?
Personal one: Why is there still a memory leak? I have 32 Gb ram and D4 takes after certain activities 20 GB ram for no reason. What is with the tech of D4 ?
In the end i give D4 S8 a “Please-play-other-ARPG’s out of 10”
