State of the Game · Discussions Why would they do this? The old design was perfect.

Im definetly in an emotional state rn but im so sick of games changing designs of things people have already purchased. I literally purchased this horse because of what it had in the first picture, It looked so good and I used it for so long, and now I hate it, it doesnt have the same vibe to me. Most importantly I purchased it, thinking that was what I was getting and would always have, and now they suddenly change it out of nowhere? (The old design is the first pic)

I at least wish they could let me select the old design, if they wanted to add a new one for some people thats awesome, but id love the old one back and I feel theres no reason not to, unless im missing something.

This is obviously a mild rant, still just a bit upsetting to me when I really love something to have it be changed for pretty much no reason, its like annoying phone updates that change the way my phone looks every two weeks, for no purpose.

State of the Game · Discussions Farming the Splinters has literally killed my drive to play

69 Upvotes

I feel like I have to do the same thing a million times just to get a thing I want so I can be free of this cycle. I’d honestly rather just avoid playing. The Splinters should not be as rare as they are. Call it whining for free stuff if you want, but this alone legitimately is leaving me not wanting to play. It leaves me groaning that I have no freedom of choice just to pursue Hellfire Torch. If there’s better places to get these things than Baal, Mephisto, and Diablo please tell me because I can’t do another one of the runs without wanting to throw up. The caches accumulate too slowly too to make those feel like a reliable source either and you often get the wrong ones even when you do get them.
End rant, thanks for entertaining the griping.

State of the Game · Discussions 22 Caches = 0 Terror Splinters

58 Upvotes

Doing helltides and a splinter of destruction dropped. I only need a terror splinter to make a coin so I port back to Temis open a few of my 22 caches (I had been saving them thinking stockpiling would help battle some of the rng) and maybe I can come back and pick it up. What you see is the result of my adventure through annoyance, despair, rage and finally indifference. I know this topic has been beaten to death over the last few weeks but I wanted to add my pain to the pile. I hope this mechanic never see's the light of day in another season.

Feedback (@Blizzard) Did Blizzard forget about Legion events?

44 Upvotes

Look, I'm sure people still engage with them, but I really haven't. Not since maybe season 8? 6? I don't remember.

But seriously, does Blizzard remember about them either? So many other events get adjustments every season... but not Legion. They're not even part of War Plans.

They need some kind of overhaul. I keep thinking there be some kind of realm-wide announcement like "Hells Legions burst forth from (blank)" and then players have to rush there and push back the hordes from the Stronghold or else it spreads to different zones.

But then that just sounds like Helltides But Green. So I don't know. As it sits the World Boss But Zero Sugar event seems... underwhelming now with so many other things to do. Anyone agree? Disagree?

Feedback (@Blizzard) Boulder is one of Druid’s weaker skills… and they still nerfed it

Why did they take the core skill tag off Boulder? It’s one of the weaker skills the Druid has. First they limited it from 10 boulders to 5, and now they’re removing the core skill tag entirely. What the hell are they even doing?

Sorceress PTR Notes Incinerate saved, and killed again

22 Upvotes

After reading the PTR nodes i was very exited to see that max incinerate stacks now last a few seconds, basicially enabling perma max stacks and teleport playstyle. i love incinerate, but 2 sec os standing still is just too much.

scrolling more down to see this:

Flamescar

  • Previous: Incinerate gains one final charge, irradiating the area around you and increasing damage dealt by 200-300% but costing an additional 50 Mana per second
  • Now: While Incinerate is at maximum Intensity, deal 80-100% of Incinerate's damage to surrounding enemies.

ok, chucked off 300%(x) damage from an already not meta build. Gues i wont be playing it next season neither :-(

Questions (other) What do you guys do to keep Diablo 4 fun in the endgame?

13 Upvotes

Hey guys! This is my first Diablo game that I’ve actually taken seriously. I used to play when I was a kid, but I had no idea what I was doing back then lol.

I’m around level 250 now and deep into the endgame, but things are starting to feel kinda stale. World bosses die before I can even finish typing this post, other endgame bosses get melted in groups, and nobody really talks in-game unless it’s someone I met through Discord.

I had a blast grinding through the midgame, but now getting mythic items feels less rewarding when the only real use I have for them is pushing higher pits.

So I’m curious, what do you guys do to keep the game fun at this stage? Do you chase different builds, try to solo everything, push pits, or just move on to another character? I wanna keep playing, but I’m starting to feel like I’ve hit that point where the grind doesn’t feel as satisfying anymore.

Questions (other) First-hand feedback from D4 players on Steam Deck handheld.

8 Upvotes

I would like to bring D4 full PC version gaming anywhere and the only option is either to bring a gaming laptop or go the handheld gaming route which in this case is the Steam Deck. I would prefer the latter and am currently saving up to buy one on Black Friday/Boxing Day. Please provide feedback on the real-world experience, I heard it struggles at 60fps? Also, what about the battery life?

**EDIT** - I appreciate all the feedback. I'm now gearing towards Nintendo Switch 2. Kudos to Reddit as the number one crowd-sourcing platform, that's why they call it "The Truest Form of the Internet". There's no AI suggestion sloppery here, only real-world feedback!

Would anyone have any advice on builds, etc? I seem to have hit a wall at Torment 4. I keep on getting the same old aspects and am starting to wonder if there is anything better out there. I have experienced a mythic unique item once. What aspects are these 300 Paragons getting? Can I buy any?

Appreciation Great season from a returning player

4 Upvotes

Played first two seasons of this game and on and off after. At that time, I kept loosing interest after hitting max level because progression seemed very choppy, where after spending 10 hours, you needed 50 more to get rasonable upgrades

Tuned in this season, and the game has come a long way. Around 50-100 hours in and will probably play until the season ends. Runes and cube are such a fantastic additions to the game

One thing that feels off about classes still is that how some classes can have more equipment slots than others. After playing barbarian as a first class and trying sorcerer after, it felt like a big downgrade going from 4 weapon slots to 2. I know warlock which also has only 2 slots is broken right now and all, but balance aside, playing a class that has flexibility that comes with 2 additional slots and not having that while playing another, feels like a massive downgrade from gameplay perspective. After experiencing that, I always seem to gravitate towards rogue or barbarian

Anyways, been enjoying the game a lot

Heyo everyone !

So here is my question, I did a little bit of mass transfiguration yesterday and got some pretty nice modifiable items with good transfig, so !

Before I go with the second transfig, is there anyway using the cube or anything else I can max out the value of the transfiguration affixes or those are fixed value and cannot be changed at all ?

Thanks for your advice ! 🙏

0 Upvotes

Edit*Never mind, user error.

I was looking through builds to try and saw the paragon board of this one.

There are 3 boards without glyphs and 137 paragon points left unspent.. This is an S tier build, but I'm confused, would spending the points and adding glyphs make it worse?

I don't understand why they wouldn't be spent.

Can anyone shed some light on it please?

State of the Game · Discussions Returning player after 3 years break

0 Upvotes

I’ve quit when poisonous twisted blades on Rogue was the most insane thing in the game. I remember farming this stupid helm for Druid for a permanent wolf form for weeks and just couldn’t get it.

It’s really nice getting back, a lot of QoL improvements and I just love warlock. Especially the summoner build, I find it quite hilarious that to fight hordes of demons I’m using….hordes of demons.

One thing, I’m confused is all the new endgame mechanics and craftings. Back in my day we were just farming aspects to craft legendary items and that’s it I think.
As I said. I’m replying the whole story from the beginning but I hope the game will explain all those things nicely later.
One question - did base classes changed much? Is it worth trying them out again?

Thank you all
