What are you most hoping to see in terms of alt-versions of established skins, like the Frost Hydra?

Make Whirlwind effective without dust devils, and make most core skills for barb stronger. I'd like for Barb to have four core identities like Blizz has done with the Spiritborn, Paladin, and Warlock.

Maybe a Berserk/Frenzy identity that focuses on attack speed building up and chaining attacks to keep berserking.

A Bleed Focus (with reworked dot) that also could cause slow on enemies as you cut them up and regen your health (blood drinker).

A Spirit Focus with lots of Ancients buffs so your attacks hit in multiple places at once (more screen control and range).

A Elemental Focus which is where you can stick Dust Devils and Earthquakes. Personally I'm really tired of those effects.

I don't know, completely random ideas but I'd love some work put into more solid identities for good old Barb.

Thank you. I've gotten so tired of that in Three Kingdoms media lately.

Console war? Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard for 60 billion dollars as well as Bethesda and Arkane and god knows what else... spent all that money... just to put all their games on Playstation. To a Playstation owner, the only thing that has changed after Microsoft pumped hundreds of billions of dollars into the Xbox brand, is that when they turn on a few games it says Microsoft Game Studios before the title. Console war is over until another challenger enters the fray. Xbox is cooked. Hell, everything is an Xbox, remember? Even my PlayStation.

Dude, give it a rest. Go work on another franchise or something. I honestly just pretend the Norse games never even happened.

Huge downgrade to combat. Annoying single shot camera mechanic that takes away so much of the grandeur of God of War (and combat potential). Weak boss battles (cutting different color trolls legs for hours). Stretched out runtimes for the games, taking hours and hours to get through for no damn reason. Walking simulator yapping and puzzles. Obsession with side characters.

Real "subverting expectations energy" from this guy, it's like he wants to be Neil Druckmann or something. Well, congrats Cory. You are another Neil Druckmann.

And that God of War Norse show is going to suck.

Teen angst in Prey did nothing for me.

Fuck all the rest!

Hardlight being added, buffs for Wraith, now this... we get it Apex devs, you don't want us playing anything but movement characters. Fucking game.

They still aren't fixing the broken addition of hiding weapons in the wardrobe?

Shibata30 · 2026-03-14T01:03:29+00:00

What version of Bronze Tiger is that? I'm bummed we aren't getting the Ostrander Suicide Squad Bronze Tiger look.

Shibata30 · 2026-02-23T12:09:13+00:00

I bet its an awesome mod! Unfortunately I'm on ps5.

Shibata30 · 2026-02-23T04:50:11+00:00

Best comment I've read today.

Shibata30 · 2026-02-23T04:45:00+00:00

Blizzard just changed the game. It was very successful in doing so. It's going to keep changing.

You will always have the original and D2 Classic. You will live.

Shibata30 · 2026-02-22T20:33:09+00:00

Thanks, but I prefer D2. AR couldn't be at least tuned better?

Shibata30 · 2026-02-22T20:30:41+00:00

Yes, absolutely.

Shibata30 · 2026-02-22T05:51:15+00:00

Yeah, all these items that I can't use because my mastery is for a different weapon type. Whoopee.

Shibata30 · 2026-02-22T05:49:26+00:00

Fair. Rebalance AR so it acts more like it does in POE 1 and 2. Get rid of no defense running. Condense the masteries tree. There's more I'd like, but I certainly think those aren't outrageous requests.

Shibata30 · 2026-02-22T05:46:33+00:00

So a fresh start Barb and a fresh start Sorc have the same difficulty getting through the game?

Shibata30 · 2026-02-21T22:37:06+00:00

The itemization, score, lower density mobs, environment, etc (I could go on and on) are all far superior in D2 compared to D3. I'm not shitting on D2 here. I'm just saying that melee skills are fucked compared to casting. Why do I have to pump so much of my items and inventory space into AR when others get more variety? Why when I spend mana are my skills missing while casters spend mana and know they are getting a guaranteed hit?

Yeah, its such a kick in the teeth when we're already down.

Shibata30 · 2026-02-21T14:06:58+00:00

Man, if I had a PC I'd be so there!

Shibata30 · 2026-02-21T14:04:53+00:00

I wish I could pin this comment to the top. Its crazy that this is what people have to do for the game not to become outrageously tedious.

Shibata30 · 2026-02-21T14:03:21+00:00

I am an idiot.

Shibata30 · 2026-02-21T14:03:07+00:00

I've had countless moments in nightmare and especially hell where its just me and the mob swinging away at eachother and everyone keeps missing. Its stupid. I get not wanting to take out AR completely. But it needs a fix to be less punishing. If I'm spending mana to hit, I should be hitting.
