nah the patch notes were pretty similar to PoE patch notes. identify mechanical issues with the game and attempt to solve them with numerical nerfs. dont add anything new or fun, dont increase build variety, dont actually solve any of the identified issues, just make everyone’s gameplay feel worse
the only difference is that PoE is actually a good and fully developed game, D4 is not
PoE eventually became a decent if deeply flawed game. Definitely wasn’t like that in the beginning though.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to roll a sorcerer
Yeah, I was playing Arc Lash pre-patch and it feels bad now. Plus side, Season 1 starts today, so I was already planning on making a necromancer or barbarian anyway.
I was waiting to play sorc on purpose until s1.
Gonna keep waiting and play a different class, I think.
I haven’t noticed much difference with my lvl 59 arc lash Sorc so far, it’s still melting stuff left and right. Haven’t taken it through any NM Dungeons though or helltides yet though.
I’ve levelled an Arc Smash sorcerer to 68 in WT3. It’s not bad but it’s not great.
I’m rolling a Necro.
These ‘articles’ that just end up being reading and writing about other peoples reddit and Twitter posts are so garbage.
Who do they quote in the article? “U/pm_me_your_shaved_balls”?
Oh he quoted datmodz and asmongold. So this ‘journalist’ just watched some YouTube videos and then made news out of it instead of just reading reddit posts like everyone else.
And then he cited another Forbes article to help bolster the article.
How did we get to become such a joke?
Sounds awful! See y’all online.
Worse than Dark Alliance? I didn’t know that was possible.
Man, I know, right? I wanted that to be great like all the old DA games, alas it wasn’t meant to be…
D2r works fine don’t worry about this stuff
If d4 is good, I’ll play it in 5, 10+ years from now, and so will many others.
If it sucks, no one will remember this.
Unpopular opinion, but I think the nerfing is good. I just finished the campaign and it was a little too easy, never really a challenge except some bosses that I just need to run around until I have enough essence, hit them and repeat… I just walk around sanctuary and destroy all mobs with one or two blood surges and then keep going.
To be fair, if it was harder, then I’d have given up on the campaign because it’s so long
That’s absurd. It’s a minor nerf to XP. The bitching is crazy.
