Diablo IV |OT| Blessed Mother... Save Us

This build is sick. I didn't bother with Affliction after they introduced it in a PTR, it was godly, then they nerfed it on Season start. Looks like it got buffed?

 
Created a Rogue, leveled it using whisper caches from my Sorc. Death Trap is still great with not optimal gear for T2. Working on getting the glyphs and level them to around 25 now that I got the Eyes in the Dark.

Too lazy like blizzard to post a "another one gif" as well.

Whackest live service game alive. Just kill it and give us updates for D2 instead.

I like this one. More fun than any other event they came up with.

They miss too many opportunities to make great content. That last part of the season quest, where we go get horadrim treasures, could have been something that transported the player to fight those fights again, relive the events. In the end maybe it's a complete lack of love for the game, or lack of will to fund such content that blocks it. They are on cruise control.
I have a soft spot for the franchise since the first one released, and will buy Diablo V unless it's a mobile game or microtransaction fest, but I am not really sure it will even get released.

Yeah it does seem a little low effort, unfortunately.
 

The 2.4.0 Public Test Realm (PTR) for Diablo IV will be available from August 19—26, offering you the chance to test upcoming changes and features releasing with the next season for the base game, along with some Vessel of Hatred updates.

Infernal Hordes Reborn

The Infernal Hordes are hotter than ever; we're dialing up the intensity on this incendiary mode.

Infernal Hordes refined

  • We've done a significant re-work of Infernal Offerings revealed between each Wave. Our goal is to try to make all offerings feel valid as choices for you as you start to stack them to focus on your run.
  • We're doing this by balancing existing offerings, changing the effects of some offerings, and adjusting base Monster populations.
  • At the start of the Infernal Hordes, you'll now start with an Infernal Offering to immediately stoke the embers and breathe some fire into your run.
 
Are we really not getting a new expansion this year?

I was really hoping a yearly expansion for me to at least come back through a story and new class.

Surely that immortal money can fund some D4 love?
 
Another season of "temporary powers" that aren't too different from the other "temporary powers" (or shrine powers) we've had before. Another season of increasing power creep and broken FOTM meta builds for each class.

Really not enthused by the idea of turning uniques into glorified RNG Aspects, which is what the Chaos gear does. It diminishes the entire purpose of having uniques and the give-and-take nature of choosing whether or not to use one over an imprinted aspect in that gear slot. Hell, if anything, build-defining uniques should be a bit harder to get, not easier. I had barely hit 60 and gotten into Torment 1 when the RNG gods granted my S9 Sorc a 2GA Ophidian Iris on my second Duriel farm where Belial randomly appeared.

Still waiting for a meaningful end game that isn't just "grind this rep to rank 18 to get a resplendent spark". I really got back into playing this season (nothing else to do at the moment) and in a month's time I had three classes to rank 18 (Sorc, Spirit, Barb), all three farming T4 with ease but with no real reason to keep going. I could keep grinding for 3GA items and hammering for perfect masterwork rolls but… why? I already decimate everything in the game and the reward for pushing Pit levels isn't really worth the time.

I'm casually working on a new Necro here and there but I'm pretty much done with everything this season has to offer, and S10 looks like more of the same vapid stuff, made even easier with broken gear systems that will allow for insane setups with uniques no longer being a trade-off.

Here I go again writing more essays about how D4's design is flawed lol



I'd say I'm shocked that you're being downvoted on every attempt to explain your post, but it's Reddit and nothing shocks me there anymore. 😐
