That's the problem with these live service mega-gaymes. You have to launch early with a bunch of seasonal content and constantly focus on addicting players rather than just make a game the devs are passionate about.

I tried to play this earlier this year. i went through the story but the game just fucking kicks you out of the server at the end of the month or whatever (season) and then you either start again or play on the non active server.
its fucking retarded.
Who came up with this shit.
Also the game just becomes a shitty spamfest eventually. You just spam and nuke enemies, its boring.

i recently got it on sale, never played it before and haven't really heard much about the game other than "it's bad." So far it's mostly bad in my experience. I'm just rushing to finish the main story at this point since 90% of the content in the game is pointless padding. the open world and scattered dungeons are bad and theres no reason to engage in any of it. i think the classes and skill trees are more interesting than diablo 3. I'm not at the endgame grinds or expansion content yet so Idk if any of it will redeem itself but so far it's a very high budget mediocre arpg. i think overall it's a step up from diablo 3 but 4 doesn't feel like it made enough steps in the right direction to make it an interesting arpg. the darker artstyle is great along with the classes I've played so far but overall it's just kind of boring to play. It feels very similar to diablo 3 still with just how it plays in combat and encounters. But maybe that's just a problem that all arpgs suffer from.

>Why is D4 so bad
I have actually played D4 quite a bit.
>Story was fucking horrible, basically nothing happens the entire game until the last hour. D3's campaign viciously mogs D4's which should tell you just how bad it is
>Loot system was horrible until a year after release, gear had annoying conditional damage modifiers colloquially known as "damage on a Tuesday"
>Released with no content but Nightmare Dungeons, which are just the blandest possible version of a dungeon
>It had pretty good combat on release, but PoE 2 robbed even that accolade from it a few months later
>Vessel of Hatred releases
>Comically overpowered new class
>Horrible story, even worse than before
>Blizzard IMMEDIATELY abandons VoH with slop filler season with reskinned mechanics (open inventory -> pick passive damage proc -> that's it)
>Seriously, VoH is one of the few games that I think was actually scam tier
>LoH releases and is good, rips off a discount version of PoE's Atlas Passive tree (customizable content) and reworks loot again
>Everything looking up for D4, finally the game is fun, I know a number of people who finally got into D4 because of LoH and said they had a great time
>...then Blizzard releases another slop filler season immediately

>We find out today that they're rushing into D5 so they ditched LoH as an abandonware cashgrab just like VoH despite LoH finally being the 'real' launch of the game
tldr
Blizzard released a bad boring content-dry ARPG, made it playably bad 344 days after launch, released a literal scam first expansion that fixed nothing and was abandoned immediately, then when they finally released a great second expansion and saved the game, they gave a middle finger to their remaining players and ran away with the bag.

There is no fixing it. The game was forever labeled a failure after the first month of its life (despite people dumping 100+ hours into it btw).

They abandoned the usual classes, the abandoned the usual skill system, they "reimagined" the land, added fucking horse back riding, there is NO Diablo at all. It's a generic fantasy RPG hack n slash with a Diablo label slapped on it.

>>
>>747511513
Normies like me. PoE is too weird, too autistic. Grim Yawn is boring.
>>
>>747505426
The best way to explain it is like this:

Diablo 1 and 2, the game IS the campaign. While Diablo 2 has a pseudo-end game with farming bosses and going for ubers, it is primarily about the campaign.
Diablo 3 and Diablo 4 introduced campaigns that are mindless, brainless, and are mostly there to serve as background dressing to level up your first character to get to end game, where most of the focus is. It becomes an MMO-ish game after you complete the campaign, including the ability to skip it on all future characters. The campaigns themselves feel like after thoughts with characters that come and go and plots that are best described as "Dang it, we JUST missed them!" for the entire runtime until you fight a boss. The end games themselves are pathetic because Blizzard has no idea what they're doing. They simply add a new progression system and then you level that progression system. They think that "end game" means adding 5 different farms for 5 different axes of progression. That is it.

It is not like, say, PoE where on a normal character you play what you want and then trade for what you don't wanna do. It is instead more like a checkbox of doing what you need. In addition, the game is incredibly easy and shits out XP and loot to the point that you're doing the pure end game farms in less than 1 day of play time.

You know stuff like Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance, Fallout Brotherhood of Steel, the Champions of Norrath games? After winding shit back from how casualized D3 was but still not really being sure what they wanted to make, it's more in that category but pseudo-MMO now. And most here will argue that those were still better games than this.

They made it into a live service, kinda like a lobby game or pseudo mmo, you can probably guess the rest. And i know D3 had already raped the lore but i personally hate how they made Inarius and Lilith evil (and retarded) for no reason.

Strawman argument. We wanted a game that played like D2, and D1 for that matter, because those are some of the best games ever made. D4 was on the right track, then they turned it into D3.5. There's no reason to think D5 will be any different, these people have no idea what they're doing and are just tinkering with the creations of their betters.

This might surprise you, but there's more to making a good game than getting the graphics right.

I mostly hated D4 for it's incredibly bad plot and it's lack of balance for 3 player parties. It was so piss easy the whole game, even after getting multiple levels of torment difficulty unlocked.
>>
>>747524432
In early development it looked like D2 with modern graphics. You are a retard who doesn't know what MMO means. You seriously have to stop posting.
>>
>>747525168
No it didn't, the fuck did you even get anything about MMO anyway, I said nothing of the sort.
They had no fucking clue about anything. They tried to give D4 this whole tryhard grimdark aesthetic as a kneejerk reaction to people calling D3 too colorful, and that's not how D2 looked, they just removed all the color and contrast from D4.
During development they were juggling a million ideas like stats affecting skills, angelic/demonic/ancestral stats on items activating effects, trying to balance items to make blues and rares viable, and in the end nothing made it through. Game was a legendary items fiesta just like D3. The most telling moment for me was when they showed wip skill tree graphics where it was a literal demonic burning tree, roots and all. They had no fucking clue, base D4 was terrible, and later patches and expansions only made it more into D3. Fucking idiot.

D4 is probably well past 2 billion revenue in 3 years. If it was such a failure, there wouldn’t be a D5.
Honestly, D4 seems to have been plagued with tech limitations from the start (like stash space) so it might be for the best
