During a Q&A Session held at the Season 1 finals of the Gears of War ESL league Gears of War 4 Lead Multiplayer Designer Ryan Cleven talked about the process behind the creation of the multiplayer maps for the game and showcased a couple of new slides to illustrate how things work.
Franchise General Manager Rod Fergusson said overpowered builds can be really, really fun in Diablo IV, so they won't be fixed immediately.
Working until you're more powerful is the point. There's no sense in putting in any real effort if everything just scales to you.
The only real reason for these types of rpgs to include level scaling is to get you to spend more time playing.
It removed entirely the feeling of becoming more powerful
@Crow: although I’m not a fan of level scaling, once you reach lvl 100, the scaling stops in the open world and you can make your nighmare dungeons as hard as you want.
Going back to low level dungeons is like cutting a knife through butter, so yes, you can feel really powerful but it’s a bit pointless for rewards.
Path has more depth than Diablo, not everyone likes it.
I do however, looking foward to Path2 but I enjoy D4 as well. Will probably stop playing when Path 2 is out tho.
Path 2 looks incredible. I only played D4 a few hours, it’s not for me, became repetitive and Grundy, i already knew what I was in for and the reviews and disappointed players proved it to me. Path 2 looks BANANAS.
PoE 2's closed beta is scheduled for June 7th of this year. That doesn't included an open beta or changes likely to happen from feedback (Feedback that GGG is more likely to consider than most developers) so to say it's coming out soon seems to be settling one up for disappointment.
I fully expect us to be closer to a year out than anything else.
@sagapo PoE has more depth as it's been built on for a decade. I'm not saying PoE2 won't have depth at release but it won't have PoE's depth.
It's going to be a great starter point for new people to the series.
"I fully expect us to be closer to a year out than anything else." nooooo
Path will still have more depth though.
Blizzard feels good about its servers going into launch.
WTMG's Aaron Price: "Revisiting Judgement is always a treat, especially now, ten years after its release. It received a lot of hate for its changes upon release, but it has aged like an average quality wine. It’s not perfect, but it’s more than worth a playthrough, which leads me to the last thought on the game, as little as I’m looking forward to it… it’s time to try for all the challenge stars in the campaign on Insane difficulty. Pray for me."
Gears of War 4 will own the multiplayer scene later this year
And Gears campaigns are always great I'm glad to see they are learning from the previous games
Gears UE multiplayer is still so good. Best Gears multiplayer in my opinion but if you're not that good you'll quickly be thinned out.
Hopefully Gears 4 combines all the best from 1-3 with it's own unique features...just remember, don't add anything from Judgement. I pretend that game doesn't exist.
Gears was the first game to really pull me away from Halo as a competitive shooter. I have some of the fondest memories playing Gears 1-3. Sadly the community is on the verge of death but hopefully Gears 4 can bring everyone back.
I hope they did because that was a terrible game. Got it for free with gold. So bad they would have to pay me to play it again.
Lets hope we get back to GOW 2 multiplayer with the insane amount of content in 3.
Looking forward to see some new game footage or trailer.
