No, we hate D3 because :

  • CArtoonish wow style graphics
  • Carnavalesque armor design
  • Jay Wilson
  • Everything scales with weapon damage, including monks punches and necros minions
  • Cooldowns everywhere
  • Difficulty is just hp/damage inflation
  • Is extremely repeititive
  • No immunity/resistances. You can use siphon blood against the skeleton king
  • Everyone is at lv cap 30 minutes after the season starts
  • Set determining the loadout(you don't build a character on D3, you choose in a cod-like loadout) taking out over half of the gear customization(And due the no character customization it becomes worst)
  • LaAck of mature contents(d1 had no problem showing succubus breasts for eg)
  • Everyone is a clone
  • Instead of tomes(d1) or skill trees(d2), the cod style loadout system sucks.
  • (...)
I can continue listing forever. Diablo 3 is not a RPG. Is more like Gauntlet Legends meets WoW than a proper Diablo game



Yes, you could continue with bullshit nonsense forever.

All (except the lack of tits) stupid reasons, some outright false (the graphics are nothing like wow, they're like an 80s morning cartoon: thundercats, thundarr the barbarian, etc.) some are actually revealing of your own sheeplike thinking (i mean, not that you getting your thoughts beamed into your head from youtube videos didn't give it away already). IE: the only reason why you'd think everyone is a clone is if you're the kind of person who googles the best builds and copies them. BAAAAAAAAAA

Many of the features (IE: skill loadout) are straight out of guild wars, the best multiplayer RPG and one of the best games ever made, period. only a severely stunted individual would think "call of duty" when they see it.

D2 skill system sucks, D1 didn't have a skill system at all, every class had exactly 1 skill that could not be modified, upgraded or changed in any way.

The problem with parroting shit...

This succubus doesn't look like someone who can seduce mortals

Look to D1

NWN1 persistent worlds and Ultima Online had the best MP experience.

Every mmo after WoW sucks...

99,9% of mmo""""""rpgs""""" are barbie dressing games with slot machines and gameplay completely dissociated from the lore.

DIABLO IV QUARTERLY UPDATE—JUNE 2020

To the Diablo Community,

Hello, and welcome to our latest Diablo IV quarterly update! We are excited to share some of the progress we’ve made on the game today.

As is the case with many other game and technology companies at the time of writing this, the Diablo IV team has fully transitioned to working from home. While the transition has introduced challenges, we feel very fortunate to be able to keep momentum going strong on the development of Diablo IV.

At this point I don't think anyone but the most die-hard new Blizzard fans are expecting anything, Blizzard has fallen so far from grace it's impossible to expect even a game of Diablo 3's caliber.

I'll probably play this but this has next to no appeal considering nuBlizzard and the existence of Grim Dawn and Path of Exile.

The always online thing will more than likely ruin it. It always comes with a whole suite of bullshit and outright bad design decisions, especially when it comes to items.

Nice-looking so far at least, definitely more Diablo than Warcraft for once. Which is a depressingly low bar now that I type it out loud, actually.

Most uninspiring part of D3 is how everything is set-based. Scaling numbers require sets based on increasing percentages of damage so you're basically resigned to one of a few cookie-cutter builds and tons and tons of clever non-set legendaries with wacky and fun procs go unused. There's no fun in spending hours upon hours farming the same shit just with a minor additional tweak in stats.

Well that is the praised Loot 2.0 everybody seems to like. Removing the RMAH killed D3's itemization, but people were cheering, because the AH was removed and that immediately made the game better somehow in their minds.

everything is not set based, many top tier builds use legacy of dreams

and d3 has a lot more viable builds than D2 did. stop blaming the game for your laziness
