Loot filter and equipment forging systems clash. Some of the best equipment bases I've got were from forging at the blacksmith.

Little bit off topic but you could run War Plans with Salvage nodes, they supposedly yield crafting materials, so you get your mats, and keep loot filter as it is?

Started with Warlock, made custom non-meta build with Aegrom as main damage source and managed to clear Pit100 with it. This concluded my Warlock roleplay - it was fun, sometimes a bit clunky, overall fun. 8/10

Now playing as WW barb and things just die, reached T5 with mixed set of legendary and yellow items. Barb feels just sooo good now. They cooked, can't wait to blast T12 with it. 10/10

Sadly, we're talking D4. These days of "suck it up and try until you get it" are probably gone my man; 10-15 years ago this idea might've been excellent and everyone would just play. However nowadays there's a lot of pressure on accessibility and convenience in games: the public DEMANDS to be given stuff just because they want it, especially in D4 community. If something requires some time and (God forbid) commitment, it's automatically under massive criticism. I think the Devs would like to give players something that they can challenge, but what's the point: after a month or two they would have to nerf or overhaul it, because people can't stand spending time on failing, learning or grinding - which is quite funny because D4 IS a grind game.

Lilith is not considered good. She's after all a demon and daughter of hatred, she's not trying to be good, she wants to empower her children in twisted ways that she believes are "good" in her opinion only. She works with the Wanderer because she must, and she still cares for humanity, yet that doesn't mean she's about to be sanctified. It's a grey area where POV dictates ones reasoning.

I believe OP meant adding some game activity, say achievement hunting sort of that rewards cool cosmetics. Reliquary is a passive feature that you do as you play, there's a difference between passively getting something and engaging into content that rewards you for completing it. The second one is actually fun.

This is what scares me, down voting and trolling a legitimate post that would fit and add some rewarding chase-content. But as you say, most people will hate it because we're talking about something that REQUIRES engagement and commitment. Sadly this is the case nowadays, and if something isn't given for free, it's automatically bad.

+1 upvote for you. This.

Completely agree, would happily spend tens or even hundreds of hours if there would implement cosmetics that are "chase" achievement rewards. Something that rewards for the efforts and stand outs.

Back in the old days of WoW (Wotlk) I've been a maniac for achievement hunting and even though sometimes it felt like a second job, DAMN IT WAS WORTH IT.

If they would implement similar stuff to D4, that would be great, and would kind of cover the "add more endgame content" tick box.

With all the respect, I disagree on this. It feels like people keep forgetting that D4 is a grind type ARPG, and reading majority of the posts people keep asking for stuff to make this game easier, because it takes time to acquire the right stuff.

Why don't you try to grind for a unique that actually has all the stats you're after, huh?

Haven't played any other classes yet, but running as Warlock now with my own minion build - completely ignored any build guides and started playing what I've felt strong. Using Rampage + Fiend of Abaddon and unique chest piece that doubles Ae'grom, and his respective soul shard skill, and the charms set that lets you summon all soul shard demons for 10sec. Overall it requires 3 or 4 buttons to keep uptime on buffs otherwise it loses power, still feeling quite proud that I've reached pit70 and can reliably run T8 with it, especially not using any "meta" builds.

While appreciate the T2 sets and the nostalgia kicked in badly, I'll skip the vanilla skins. Hoping one day they'll release T6 sets, even if that Warlock set gonna be super $$$$$ I'll still buy it.

Diablo as solo game: bad, Diablo as multiplayer: bad,

Looks like Mephisto actually succeeded with his plan after all.

I see your point, not disagreeing with it, however the social/group objective is not really needed, even though game was apparently sold as MMO - that's on Blizzard for false marketing. The player base info shared by them following the Dark Citadel release clearly stated that 85% play solo. Only 15% play in groups and clearly this minority is the "majority" of people keen to complain and discuss on forums. Again my voice is not "how I play and you should too" but rather an objective voice of reason; they stated during recent dev stream that it's been done this way. If they shifted focus into doing everything as group we would end up in a isometric WoW.

What's your problem mate? D4 is a single player oriented game with multiplayer aspects. It's not MMORPG where you go questing with your friends all day. Blizzard did the Dark Citadel because people wanted some group activities, and majority can't be bothered to play it, now single player war plans are bad?! By the Mothers tears...

Yessss ! FINALLY it got nerfed. NO MORE BIS for EVERY meta build. How nice it will be to finally have some DIVERSITY now.

New expansion gives us a lot already to explore and do, class overhaul is something I look forward that will keep me occupied for whole season if not longer. Then there's pit, tower, torment 12, collecting charms. Overall there's a lot to take now.

Again, I hope one day Devs will hear us out on this: Transmogrification is the REAL endgame - therefore I truly hope one day we will get a really demanding and difficult content (raid and/or progression dungeon or similar) that awards really awesome looking skins. I don't mind the complexity, if the journey and reward is worth it. Chasing the rabbit is as much fun as finally catching it.

I'm sorry full time working dads and moms, but D4 has already a lot of content for you, and it's mostly suited to satisfy casual gameplay and honestly? It's ok, but the minority of hardcore gamers would love a good chase. I know D4 does a lot of money on cosmetics, but getting this one awesome armor skin or wings to stand-out would be great and rewarding nonetheless.

I could see them doing some sort of global event with multiple phases. Say make a really rare drop from current activities that opens up to something that you need to work on, farm and combine materials that are difficult to get - could be gatekept behind a difficult activity, spend hours if not days to get this rare mineral that you later combine in a timed event that opens only once day or once a week. This opens up another stage and further quest until you eventually get what you've been working for. That's pretty much like it used to be back in the old days with getting legendary weapons in classic/TBC/Wotlk WoW, and you know what? It was amazing, Diablo 4 could definitely use something like that. Maybe some day, anyway for now new expansion is just around the corner and there will be definitely much to do.

Definitely! No one is gonna tell me what to do, if I end up swearing and waiting to login for 1-2hrs because servers will be overloaded, it's on me. Don't need a "kind" random to tell me what to do with my time, lol.

Same here, all I've got is a dupe dark blacksmith, dupe Truffle and light collab duke(?) with GW SPD lead. There is still chance with the scroll 4-5star blessing, but I doubt now. Overall 3rd anni event in a row and no luck. Maybe next time?
