I was talking from a character progression stand-point.
Besides the fact that I don't see how empty fields and beaches makes something more or less gothic, D2 is pretty much the same as what you're describing. Unless you think they were ever going back to D1 in which case you're deluding yourself in the first place.

The UI looks bad, especially the skill icons, they're in the generic MMO style and are too colorful. The icons should be more abstract to be more clearly distinguishable. They draw too much attention on the screen. Visual effects lack grit - most of them look like bright colored fluids smeared across the screen.

Can't imagine why.

 

[Reinhardt]

just thought - if you don't make maps empty you won't need some dumb horse to ride from pack to pack?

 

[Sykar]

Who needs maps? I would rather spend my time

I prefer thicker mob packs in these games as well. I replayed Titan Quest earlier this year, and I modded the mob density to 10x the regular amount, and that felt about right. There were far too many groups of just 3 mobs scattered here and there, I preferred groups of 30. Some builds can run it just fine.

Depends on how melee skills work in this game but big packs tend to favor aoe casters over melee characters unless they turn melee skills into short range aoe skills.

 

[Yoomazir]

so amazon from d2r was succubus?

No, they/them are trannybus.

 

[Infinitron]

 

[Peachcurl]

wow, so they renamed difficulties to world tiers, AND THERE'S A BOSS AT THE END OF EACH TIER WOWOWOWOW

amazing.

 

[Dadd]

I see Infinitron has smelled the stillborn carcass that will be D4 and has begun newsposting like a vulture circling a dying animal

 

[Daedalos]

Yeah D4 will totally be a failure.. r..r.right guys??

Could you be any more clueless.

New IGN segment out btw:

 

[Nathir]

Yeah D4 will totally be a failure.. r..r.right guys??

Yes.

It can be literal jpeg of shit instead of an actual game- blizztards will still buy it. Look at WoW for example.

 

[Sykar]

Warcraft 3 Reforged anyone?

blizzard is the western nintendo

 

[racofer]

Doesn't matter, I don't play Blizzard garbage anyway.

 

[Daedalos]

April release date is bad for me, maaaan, can we please get all gaems in Q1

 

[Infinitron]

 

[vortex]

It won't be a failure but needs single player offline campaign.

Quality-wise? Of course, it will be pure distilled shit. Critically and commercially? Of course not. It will sell untold millions of copies and get tons of GOAT awards from clueless journos with useless degrees. Also, embarassingly many Codexians will sing its praises it before moving to whatever the next big shit thing will end up being, Starfield or whatever.

 

[Sykar]

Blizzard can go and shove D4 up its filthy anus just like it can choke on Diablo Immoral for all I care. The sooner that piece of shit company comes down crashing and burning the better. Not that it would change much in the grand scheme of things, but it would be glorious to watch a blaze of glory searing away that filth.

I'm not sure if that's true anymore. Actiblizz has shit the bed pretty hard lately, most visibly with D:Immortal, but even before that and even WoW sucks with (anecdotally based on browsing) a lot of people seeming not to be interested in returning for the new expack which is unusual.

Which retard asked for intensive season support? This is the worst possible way to expand the game. I bet they would do seasons even if people begged them not to.

Let people buy the whole game up front and let them make mods.

How well have online season based diablo clones done compared to mod based games?
And not gonna lie, most torchlight/grim dawn/titan content adding mods were dogshit. i mostly just used stuff like defiler for TQ to jack up the abysmal xp/item find rates. meanwhile seasonal content tends to be pretty good.
