It won't.

Game is just hodgepodge of different designs that barely work as an ARPG. Throwing more into this hodgepodge won't make it better. It needs foundational rework

I mean, the gameplay feels still the best bar D2, in the genre tho, i dont really care about poe or poe2 and shit, d4 feels great to play, even if the story is so-so and the endgame is missing
I care about combat feel, visual and audio feedback and artstyle. D4 has that in spades

How can you say that it feels great to play, it's literally an MMO wearing a Diablo skin suit

Some of the quests that I played were borderline insulting in how fucking dumb they were

Everything they've done since release (including the upcoming expansion) is putting lipstick on a pig. The game at its core just isn't fun, and to make it so they'd have to make an entirely new game. New classes won't fix the issue that you've pretty much seen most of what the game has to offer when you reach level 50, which takes a few hours at most. Sure, every arpg suffers from that to an extent but it's insane how quickly you reach that point in Diablo 4.

The game looks great for an arpg but that's about it. It's grimdark but it has no atmosphere whatsoever. D2 Necro's revive (Raise Spectre in PoE) is one of my favorite abilities - if it was in Diablo 4 can anyone remember a single enemy that would be interesting to revive? Only thing I can think of were those bone ballista's that would one shot you offscreen in the game's early days.

If you try to play it as open world rpg and do quests and shit while also killing stuff it is fun for one playthrough (this is how I played Sacred 2). At least it was for me, but I am not a MMORPG player and its quests have been described as MMOish so probably something MMORPG players have seen 1000 times before.

Did they get permission to use that song? Btw, the video would have been better without it but not by much.
