TheGamer Writes "Blizzard needs to find an answer for Diablo 4 players that are unhappy about seasons without changing a system that has worked well for a decade."

how anyone supports this company is beyond me. as far as i'm concerned, act/blizz and ms are made for each other lol

sadraiden348d ago

Do you know why you're upset?

chobit_A5HL3Y347d ago

seems like you're the one who's upset lol

shadowknight203345d ago (Edited 345d ago )

I agree with you. Gamers/consumers shouldn't support such business practices.

Fishy Fingers348d ago

Wheres the backlash? The article doesnt present any evidence of it. I guess it could be news to new comers to the game/genre but this is just how Diablo and pretty much all ARPGs work.

BlackDoomAx348d ago

It is. I had to explain the concept of seasons to most of my friends that are new to the genre. And Blizzard taking elements of mmorpg doesn't help, because it attracts mmo players, who are used to play the same character for years. So people thinking they could lose it make them lise their mind xD

Michiel1989348d ago

there are a lot of complaints but what I doubt this article will say is that those same people also praise the game for a lot of things. As I predicted the base game has too few content and the seasons are gonna be make or break.

INMATEofARKHAM348d ago

I think some of it isn't just not understanding this is the norm but also because their battle pass rewards cannot be earned outside of season characters. (Granted, that's not exactly new either.)

BrainSyphoned348d ago

Blizz just needs to be patient for the new blood to see how seasons work. I'd rather them focus on incentivising the end game more than worrying about new arpg players whining on twitter.

sadraiden348d ago

Tell them to kick rocks. Diablo is Diablo. Don't like Diablo? Why did you buy Diablo then?

ChasterMies348d ago

You Diablo hard with this one. Must have been Diablo time.

wenaldy348d ago

Why can't they make the game can be played offline.

OMGitzThatGuy348d ago

Because all of the progression is linked between single player, leaderboards, coop, and pvp with some form of an in game trade economy and making it able to be played offline creates a big hole for exploits and bug farming as people wouldn’t be forced to patch their games, not to mention PC gamers are not trust worthy when it comes to piracy. They could make offline and online characters and make it so they have no way to trade between each other and make it permanent but people will still complain.

Still no global chat or group finder.

The emptiest MP game ever made.

OtterX8d ago

1 more month then I can celebrate 1 year since i stopped playing and uninstalled the game.

Walalon8d ago

We are on the same team brother!

Rynxie8d ago

I uninstalled d4 after they kept screwing over the sorc build and I beat the game. I also uninstalled immortal after reading the end. I actually went back to d2r here and there.

just_looken7d ago

The only thing i enjoyed in D4 was the mp side but after they gutted my hunter build then again wanted me to grind for over hundred hours each season i too quit like you.

Its insane though a year has already passed.

Daeloki6d ago

Hard pass, gave it a chance on launch with a friend, but we made it a bit past act 1 only to realise how tedious it was.

Is Diablo IV worth it for the Single-Player experience today? I understand it has got many patches and improvements.

Daeloki19d ago

I honestly don't know what they could have changed/patched to make the game enjoyable since last summer. I played the campaign a bit past act 1 with a friend and it just becomes incredibly boring and repetitive. I uninstalled shortly after and haven't looked back. However, with me it may just be a case of that it's not my kind of game. I just didn't enjoy the endless cycle of going into a dungeon, collect loot, teleport to town, sell/dismantle, teleport back to dungeon, collect loot, teleport to town, sell/dismantle... rinse and repeat. That cycle was about 80% of the game back then, completely drowning out the story for me. If there is a demo, or you have a chance to test a friends copy then I'd recommend that before spending any money on it.

I loved D3 and would play a season for weeks.
D4 came out I reached level 60 ish and grew bored, I tried again in S1 and got to the same level and quit. I heard about the loot revamp, and briefly tried season 3 before jumping into the new season.
The game is better because it's easier to feel this progression smoothly increase, without hitting such a large road block, but I am level 61 and in Torment 4, and again I just don't feel the urge to continue.

I found a lack of direction of what to do, the thing that puts me off is the bland world, hell-tides are rather boring. Kill a non stop spawn of demons and summon a boss...

If you can get it for cheap, give it a try, or do a Gamepass trial and play it there.
