people seem to forget d2 got updated a lot too, it wasn’t the balanced game people know right from the start, and we had to wait for litteral years after d1
I think they should consider doing ptr just before each season, just like they did with D3.
I don’t even care about the nerfs. The things that get me are the FOMO pass (like the whole fucking concept of it), the vram issue, and the fucking rubber banding which somehow got ten times worse since the season start, and it was not great to begin with. How and why does this not get addressed? Why do we proceed with starting the season when the game is in such a terrible state? Even the seasonal content is pretty garbage and boring. It looks like the whole point is just the FOMO pass, to make money, and the new cosmetics in the store, again, to make money. How does one not feel like a cash cow when it is like this?
Games gonna be great around season 6 or 7 when they get some content added, figure out what they are doing for balance, and figure out how to shape the wants of players+devs into a game.
Just feels like shits all over the place with no clear direction of what the game devs want the game to be vs. what the players are looking for.
I really don’t think they’ll replace the team nor do I think that’s the cause anyway. This patch was rushed for the season which was rushed to grab cash. Aggressive monetization remains the most toxic factor in game development and it usually comes from upper management rather than your hands on developers.
You know, they did what they needed to do here. Marched out the smart people, got straight into meat and potato’s and put their hands up owning the mess.
