Have fun shopping!
Yes really peak greed as i said, if a demon from hell was in command he would not do any worse. At this point it's similar to selling drugs to kids in front of the school.Never associate your credit card with games if you have kids playing.
What is weird is everything is so maximized for profits we are even spared from the usual stupid gender shit , gafam agenda, and wokeness. Weird to finally see some logic as those themes are overwhelmingly unpopular, its money uber alles here. Do you see any pride flag or thematic items? The logo colors changing? Nope, it's grimdark fantasy, and you can even see some tities, no neon colors. An warhammer style sometime, like that penitent knight, that reminds me of dreadnaughts. This is made to court the customers and cater to our tastes, they are scumbags, thieves, filthy greedy bastards but they deserve my money more...

FUN UPDATE: the servers are completely fucked atm. An hour ago I got booted out and it literally said I was unable to log back in. Now, I tried again and the que is 55 min.

If you click on "new posts", the game's reddit page is now literally filled with only people comparing their que times (one guy had 386 min). A true modern Diablo experience.

:mixedemotions:

EDIT: A new high score!

- game is a 7-7,5/10 and anyone who claims it's either >8 or <5 is being disingenuous
- if you care about money at all, you should wait until the first Season to see how significant they will be, before investing yourself into it

ENDGAME:
- endgame is basically what you were doing the entire time during campaign as well
- Tree of Whispers endgame activity is 1-to-1 copy pasted Bounty system from D3, okay at early endgame but later on you'll be skipping it a lot
- have to do your Renown or your character will be missing a chunk of power (paradise for AssCreed gaymers)
- filling out Renown is okay for the most part, except Altars of Lillith are dogshit (hidden as fuck sometimes and a huge chore overall)
- feels like the system was made just to force you to witness what the world creators made, but falls flat because the world doesn't have enough tileset variety
- Helltide is good, but could have more density considering its' theme and the fact it's on a timer is gay (get fucked people with friends/life/job)
- Worldbosses are fairly shallow and are more of an early game activity
- Dungeons play the same as during early game
- there is no sense of progression from early game to endgame, because you're doing the same shit as before
- Uber Lillith is just a challenge and has a higher level (no new abilities and no new loot)
- most people will get a week's worth of fun out of this system
- nothing really to look forward to in the endgame unlike with PoE where you get big bosses/build variety/larger progression

STORY:
- Story review: just watch the cinematics on youtube (KEKW)
- Story is half pretty good half meh, not worth playing the game for it
- there is no distinction between Acts of story, like there was in previous games
- Lillith's motivations aren't clear, makes her a less effective villain
- Andariel sequence was all over the place
- Duriel just shows up and you kill him
- Act 1 & 2 are strong, then it falls off and picks up in Act 6 again
- the Horadrim guy mid-boss was mid
- ending sucks balls
- no Diablo

COMBAT:
- combat feels pretty good for the most part
- Generators and Spenders: Generators feel like ass in endgame and you're trying to build your character to stop relying on them in the endgame
- melee unfriendly game overall, feels frustrating to play
- ranged mobs actively kite you (so realistic wao!)
- early game can feel a bit shit, because builds in general feel like they were created as a whole first and then part of it were removed so the devs could put some affixes on the legendaries
- Paragon boards are more complex than the worst assumed case, but still not as good as Mathil hoped they would be
- the inclusion of the damage numbers is retarded
- too few classes on launch considering the barebones nature of the game
- all the base classes look good, except for Druid

ASSTHETICC:
- whole game looks great, Art department knocked it out of the park
- Cash Shop shouldn't be in a game that you pay full price for
- so far the MTX in the Shop don't feel mandatory to look good, so it's not too offensive (yet)
- Mathil thinks it's a deliberate strategy to make the inclusion of the Cash Shop feel more palatable at launch and later on they'll start putting in some real crazy shit in there to milk the playerbase

ITEMS:
- itemization is "deep enough"
- have to re-gear every so often
- crafting basically doesn't exist

MOUNT:
- kinda cool
- has a cooldown
- sometimes gets stuck, fells janky

OPEN WORLD:
- feels like D3 made into MMO, it's okay

Rating it less than 5 isn't being disingenuous. Value is to a significant degree subjective.

So working at amazon warehouse, likely for low wages, and spending the little money you get on a premium edition at 100$ then 25$ skins? You should save and invest that cash young man, or you will be completely fucked once your parents are gone.
Blizzard really has predatory practices on vulnerable people.

The only cosmetic I'd buy is one for actual tits. All the females are flat.
