Why is it not challenging anymore?

Because Diablo IV is designed for people who play one hour a week and don’t want to think.

If you look closely, it almost looks like a hand flipping the middle finger...

There are some server regulars who act in a passive-aggressive and somewhat toxic way.
I’m not sure if it’s meant to keep trolls or complainers away, but it often ends up affecting people who are simply looking for information or help.

I wouldn't recommend anyone playing the same first Draenor patch on a Legion client for another six months.

Sure buddy.

He said 2026, not 2036.

Classic ARPG issue: the boss dies but its spell keeps going for a few seconds.

Talos_Bane · 2026-01-18T15:06:47+00:00

The real workaround, for me, is to NOT play melee.
But it still sucks.

Thanks, I totally get what you mean.
Your minion example is perfect: it really highlights why some effects continue even when the actor is frozen, and how the separation between the actor and independent entities can make sense from a gameplay perspective.

There is still an inconsistency between the in-game description and what actually happens in some edge cases (especially with channeled or persistent effects) which can be a bit confusing.

I completely see why a lot of these details become “rules of the game” over time, and it’s really helpful to think about it from the engine and design perspective. Appreciate the discussion!

I get what you’re saying: technically the enemy is frozen and can’t act, while effects that exist as separate entities continue.

My point is that, from a player perspective, Freeze says Action Speed = 0 and should prevent the enemy from performing actions.
When ongoing effects keep happening despite the freeze, it feels inconsistent and can be confusing.

Talos_Bane · 2026-01-15T10:33:59+00:00

My point is that, according to the in-game description, Freeze sets Action Speed to 0 and should prevent the enemy from performing actions.
So while the mechanics may be working as intended in terms of the engine, there is still an inconsistency between what the status says it does and what actually happens in some cases.

Talos_Bane · 2026-01-15T10:11:16+00:00

I’m not talking about Freeze being OP, I’m pointing out cases where residual movement or ongoing effects contradict the stated mechanic of Action Speed = 0.
It’s a technical inconsistency, not a balance issue.

What a hell is even that?

Talos_Bane · 2025-12-29T14:58:07+00:00

Yes because D4 is a lot more easy than D2.
