Ok let me talk about to good , the bad and the ugly.
Lest start with the good.
- DC protection for hardcore . I love it , i pray that this will come to the game before i loose my rogue again to DC , 3 times i died to DC with 60-70 lvl rogues and it hurts every time. Great news , i cant wait for it.
2.Sigil changes and removing the need to walk to the dung , i wonder how was that not noticed during development . Good change , keep it up.
- You talked about density , u establish a baseline , and it will only go up , love to see it. Instead of nerfing spots to farm , just buff other places.
Lets talk about the bad.
-
The game has alot of bugs and performance issues , it is a big game and it is hard to fix everything and i get it , but still , they are so many obvious ones that there is no way you did not encounter during development , i mean not being able to click on my skills … and that happened few times on hardcore??? That happened at least 3 times already and thank god at least my hot key for the scroll worked.
Often you cant skip a dialogue when you do side quests and to be able to , you have to tab out from the game and go back to it to be able to skip it. -
You dont learn from other games , like Diablo 3 and even Immortal. I know immortal is very hated game and its like a tabu to even mention it , but i played that game for a year and there are so many good things that you can pull from it.
Example , in immortal if you want to do a dung , you just go to the dung you click on it and you can go in solo OR you can search for a party for up to 4 people. Why is this not in Diablo 4?
Being able to teleport to player is in diablo 3 for years , why is this not in Diablo 4 from day 1? Why you have to make these portals in these cities and just make people confused , you are just going backwards.
How many people died on Hardcore while trying to look at the map in diablo 4? In diablo 2 , you can aways have the whole map and see you char at the same time.
- I spoke about this problem when diablo 3 came out , now i have to do it again for diablo 4 . There is no way to know if someone is playing hardcore or softcore … if you open a stream and you see someone playing , how would you know instantly what mode he is playing? Even if you in a clan , there is no way to know who is playing what . And by the way , make clans important like they are in Immortal. There is 0 reasons for people to be in a clan. Give extra exp boost for can members ,clan events like they have in immortal , expand on that feature. LEARN!
4.You said nothing for PvP , why cant you work on arena or battleground mode like the one we have in immortal . Now its just a wild jungle with no structure.
LEARN from other games please! Look at diablo 3 , look at immortal.
Now lets talk about the ugly.
That came at the end of the stream and this is the reason why i wont play the 1st season or any season until they change that , renawn progress. You basically loose everything and you have to go 2-3 full days even more , wasting your time with these side quests just to get to these 4 extra para points , not happening , i did renawn twice already , for HC and for SC , it was painful and i told my self i will never do that again. I know they will change that , it will be account bound and you wont have to do renawn ever again in the future ,wake me up when that happens and i will comeback for that season were you dont need region progression that you already did.
The current end game is … nightmare dung and lets say they are just worse version of the d3 rifts , in rifts , you dont even need to think about it , you go in and you kill monsters , here in d4 there are NO monsters to kill … , u can even finish a nightmare dung by killing 3 mobs , put 2 things in other 2 things and thats it , its more annoying then ‘‘fun’’. Log in into Diablo immortal and see their mob density in the open world , there are sooo many spots where you can farm all day and be efficiant , and thats a mobile game … Why is this soo hard to do in a PC game like diablo 4? Make killing monsters a priority. Make new zones filled to the roof with monsters and buff the current ones , im tired of riding my horse trough empty fields. Also the guy that put these barricades , fire him , period.
