Every season I post my list of feedback. Despite there not being a lot of major issues I lost interest in this season/expansion FAST. I don’t think I’ve ever stopped playing this quickly. Can’t really put my finger on it; the seasonal gimmick is obviously a complete dud but the expansion stuff just doesn’t hold my interest either.
As always, this is my personal feedback. If you don’t agree with any or all of them, that’s fine.
Biggest issues:
- The game heavily discourages experimenting with builds due to the inability to save gear/skill/paragon loadouts.
Season 6 / Expansion:
- TLDR: Apart from the crashing and the ridiculously overpowered Spiritborn this season/expansion doesn’t really have any major issues and it’s probably the best state of the game so far; yet I completely stopped playing after a week or 2. Just not interesting whatsoever.
- Game crashes to desktop a lot.
- Expansion is fine I guess. Was bored throughout most of the campaign, very little gameplay in there; constant NPC speeches, lazy writing with endless convenience ‘because the story needs to happen’, etc. 1 or 2 cool cutscenes, that’s it.
- Mandatory grouping/matchmaking for Dark Citadel immediately turns it into dead content for me.
- Seasonal gimmick is completely DOA.
- Realmwalker event is boring and slow.
- The silly little dungeon after it feels pointless. Just let the Realmwalker drop the potion nonsense so we can get it over with.
- Connecting seasonal rep gain to having a potion active is mindnumbingly annoying game design.
- On lower difficulties Blood Maidens have an obnoxious amount of health; which scales to insane levels with multiple players present.
- Conduit Shrine sucks.
- Helltides feel empty again. Boring.
- Again, this game desperately needs loadouts.
- Again, fix the (poison) dot damage.
- Feels like I’m getting dismounted a LOT, and the mount cooldown after it is excessive.
- This new Mythic crafting thing sucks. 6 runes is ridiculous.
- You really need to buff some of the Infernal Horde boon/bane options. If you get certain ones it’s better to just abandon the entire run since it’s going to be a waste anyway.
- The Halloween event is obviously another DOA.
Season 5:
- TLDR: Amusing season. Hordes are fun and rewarding.
- Removed other issues after season end to not bloat this list. They can be found in my post history.
Season 4:
- TLDR: While there’s a ton of absolutely great changes in this season I stopped playing after a week or 2. I won’t be farming gold; if I have to look at my gold counter every time I interact with a core game mechanic I’m just going to stop playing. It is far too easy to brick an item while tempering. The Pit feels boring and unrewarding.
- Removed other issues after season end to not bloat this list. They can be found in my post history.
Season 3:
- TLDR: Stopped playing after 2 weeks. No endgame to speak of. Got sick of dealing with loot without a loot filter. Got sick of the convoluted aspect system.
- Removed other issues after season end to not bloat this list. They can be found in my post history.
Season 2:
- Did not play as S1 sucked.
Season 1:
- TLDR: Stopped playing S1 after a couple of days as it was annoying and boring.
- Removed other issues after season end to not bloat this list. They can be found in my post history.
General:
- Most dungeons feel like they are bulk generated by AI. No originality or personality.
- Disabling the crossplay features improves client performance dramatically on PC, don’t know about console. Game is a lot smoother with it off.
- The poison dot is still ridiculously overtuned. Popping multiple potions to get rid of it sucks.
- Random events need to be way faster and intense. The ‘escort the ghost’ one especially takes far too long.
- I know it’s not going to change but the shop prices are beyond obnoxious. I’d buy way more stuff if the prices were 20-30% of what they are now.
Nightmare Dungeons:
- ‘Slay all mobs’ and ‘Collect animus’ are boring and take far too long.
- I want to play this ACTION rpg, not run around and free 5-7 prisoners.
- If I come across the second ‘key’ item before I come to the pedestals, let me pick that up as well instead of forcing me to backtrack twice.
- ‘Stormbane’s Wrath’ gets deleted instantly.
- ‘Death pulse’ gets deleted instantly.
- Auto-open the box at the end, like what happens in the Pit.
- Don’t cover half my screen, right where the loot and the pedestal are, with that clickable loot summary banner
UI:
- Start sorting stuff like Glyphs consistently. Equipped → level → alphabetically → rarity. Not whatever you’ve got going on now.
- Fix the sorting on Uniques; put the same ones next to each other.
- Fix the sorting on Tempers; alphabetically makes sense I suppose.
- In almost all subzones hitting 2 while on the map moves you to the overworld map. In subzones like the merc den and the ‘raid’ lobby zone that doesn’t work.
- Let me hide the keybind indicators on PC.
- Let me scale the UI on PC.
- Change the color selection in the transmog UI so you don’t have to scroll.
- Add a 24 hour clock.
- Action wheel customization should probably be accountwide instead of per character.
- Clean up the transmog UI so you don’t have to scroll to see 3+ rows of options; the other elemants can be way smaller.
- Armor number should turn green when it’s capped, like resistances do.
- Can we get rid of that ‘Player X has engaged monster Y’ chat spam.
QoL:
- Let the pet pick up objects like the animus and the whisper motes.
- Let me zoom out the minimap more.
- Let me complete multiple Whispers before I have to go turn it in at the Tree. Feels like I have to go all the way over there every 5 mins.
- The Obol cap is an annoyance.
- Re-doing Strongholds to unlock certain NMD’s every season is getting annoying. They offer 0 challenge and 0 loot.
- Let me add ‘Reset Dungeons’ to the action wheel please.
- Let me teleport to a party member directly please.
- The ‘Skip campaign’ option should unlock all waypoints.
- Let me trade duplicate mount drops, or at least give them a somewhat significant vendor value.
- Please make the pet pick up loot faster and/or increase their aoe loot radius.
- Let me view & equip a transmog pieces that belong to a set in 1 click.
