I’ve never been a big Diablo guy but the name for this expansion is badass

It's about the only staple of the series left.

Diablo had Hellfire, 2 had Lords of Destruction, 3 had Reaper of Souls. All decent titles for an expansion pack.

They fucked up the game with the early seasons and finally turned things around starting season 3, and had great improvements through season 5.

Now they are literally force junking ALL the gear, seasonal or not, to make the same endgame that existed before, take longer.

So instead of actually working to add content, they:

  • half ass implemented runes, which were already a copy from D2, but implemented them in a broken way
  • turned glyphs into legendary gems of D3, but not as good again
  • split levels into more gated tiers, with no added value , knowing full well that the only tiers worth playing are going to be the ones that actual give you chance of decent gear
  • made loot drops a fucking joke, where even a tormented lvl 200 boss drops 3-4 items, of which ONE might be an ancestral, but it still has the huge shitty attribute pool, ensuring that most of the time, you’ll just be tossing life per second rolls.

Out of the 9 people I actively played D4/D3 with, all of which were excited for the expansion after seeing how well the last couple seasons went, not a single one bought the expansion and will likely be sitting out the next seasons until Blizzard gets their heads out of their asses once more.

Blizzard just can't stop giving themselves more L's than an anime convention in the midwest, can they?

Yep same sentiment. My friend group of 4 isnt playing it. Either playing throne and liberty (f2p until bored) or last epoch/PoE. Im catching up on some single player games.
