Has D4 got better?

[Cable]

I played at launch and got through the campaign, tried playing S1 and hated it, game felt so pointless after the campaign was over. Has it got better with the last few seasons? I want to believe it can be a great game

[FhqwhTODD]

If you own the game why not just play it to find out?

Anytime someone says that D4 has or is getting better I always think of D3. you know how it was all those years, people telling you that D3 has gotten better but whenever you log in, it actually manages to be worse, so, I have no hope for D4.

Unless Plunderstone is the Fortnite killer there's no reason for me to launch Battle.net

Yeah gonna take awhile before you see things improve or none at all, gotta realize that take time to develop, esp by Blizzard.

Either play it or find something else to do.

It's not even a year in yet, Blizzard's track record with past Diablo games is usually 2-3 years before the Diablo game gets better, took that long with Diablo 3. Not even seasons are the saving grace for this game right now.

Exhibit A.
Here's someone propagating the myth that D3 got better over time.
-----D3 did NOT become better over time. They removed the auction houses, the difficulty levels, and the wack loot drops (i.e. Str, Int, Dex on items that drop, no matter what class you were, it was a wack drop for you.) They added, an endlessly repeating dungeon, and quests which they called bounties)

Wouldn't say it's in a good place just yet might be a while.

Each class has a primary stat and the stat does help. If you play as a INT character you'll only have gears drop that the INT stat.

Nothing wrong with the difficulty levels in the game. If you find it to be too easy, bump it up. Still too easy? Then you need to go to Greater Rift and people enjoy that. They want to push their character to their utmost limits.

D3 got a whole lot better when comparing to it's first version vs the current version. Well even several years back it was a whole lot better than the first version.

English lesson:
<".....They removed item 1, item 2, item 3. ..."> where the Verb ... removed .... refers to all 3 items. So, each item was removed. Item 1, Item 2 and item 3.
And the sentence is written like this ...

In this case the Parenthetical remark explains the item listed just before it. Item 3: the wack loot. It explains that in the early version of D3, there were Wack Loot drops. these Wack Loot drops consisted of items which had Str, Int, Dex affixes on them, they had all 3 types of affixes on them. If you were a Barbarian you didn't need items with Int or Dex on them, just Str, but the WACK LOOT drops were items with Str, Int and Dex on them.

Okay and? Every item now has the 1 main stat for the character.
You can reroll the stat too to any of the other ones if it hasn't rerolled on another stat.

It got better.

For me, I just turned D4 on today. I still get periods of 10-15 seconds of lag deaths. Compared to lost epoch, Path of exile or any other game I never run into this. The amount of stuff done server side is horrendous and it's still mostly unplayable. I don't know why it's so hard to play diablo 4 with lag and literally it's no other game. I've opened the ports, reinstalled, changed out routers, even went to the library and always fight this.

[DirtyMick]

Its the same game, same concepts. End game will always feel pointless to you if you felt that way, because it's the same concept in every arpg. Finish campaign, do end game runs to tweak and maximize power.

[Umie]

Game was always good, it's gotten better with every patch, and it will get a lot better in May.

[Chris1984]

Game was a disgrace at launch. Still should not carry Diablo in its title.

Being pedantic does not help your case. We get it. You hate D3 and probably D4.
