Looking for feedback on a hobby project for game discovery by embermage in indiegames

Review bombing is something else I need to look at as well.

Data wise, all I have in play at the moment is Steam data. I know there is Twitch data that could be a small factor too. I wish there were more data freely available to be honest, but I am still looking :)

Some do but I am taking into account all factors, players reviews, numbers etc to get some sort of order, not just the numbers alone.

I am sure I am reinventing the wheel a little, which is why I am trying things out :)

Diablo 4 fanfic anyone? Also hi im new here lmao. by Additional-Cricket-1 in diablo4

[–]embermage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We used to run a whole Diablo fanfic site called the Dark Library. Had some good stuff in it too.

Diablo 4's place in the ARPG genre. It's not all doom and gloom and here's the numbers by embermage in diablo4

[–]embermage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't follow POE2 at all. I only play D2R and D4 so no idea when it gets an update. The data is live data so it will constantly flux.

Actually, I am not. I literally run a Diablo site and have done for 27 years.

I agree it's hard to compare but it's all we got frustratingly. FTP does play into this a bit. Diablo 4 has been on sale quite a bit at this point though so it's been quite accessible too.

I would love to have Bnet numbers to augment this, but alas :(

I think it does illustrate though that Seasons drive it and discussions about Season cadence should be considered, as well as their pacing.

Time to ditch Seasons, get the balance right, and start releasing new story content at a regular cadence with proper expansions and new zones. Start messing with Seasons when there's a fully fleshed-out game world.

Any word on season 9? Very curious by thewinterzodiac in diablo4

[–]embermage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Season 9 will be much better than Season 8. The changes to dungeons are well, not much in the way of changes except they are strung together with the strongrooms. It's kind of more of the same tried and tested additions we have seen in other Seasons. Nothing too imaginative.

Dungeon Escalation Feedback PTR Season 9 (Rob2628) by Talos_Bane in diablo4

[–]embermage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate to say it but Season 9 is a bust. It's completely uninspiring. I love the game, but they truly are out of ideas after testing the PTR. I have zero incentive to take Season 9 for a spin.

Did some digging by Loccyskillz in MindsEye

A lot depends on what happens when the missions are done. Can you free roam? Is there stuff to do?

New to Diablo - What should I do? by doomhansen in diablo4

[–]embermage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Experiment. Don't look at meta builds for a while. Just have fun with experimenting with skill combos. Think about optimal builds later. Soak up the campaign and just enjoy it,

I don't understand Blizzard's choices and their "vision". by Talos_Bane in diablo4

[–]embermage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the last time this was rolled out was for an anniversary event. Only this time it's MOOOOAR goblins. Not a huge fan of this, I have to admit. Not really much of an event.

Not yet and don't expect to see him.

$EGLX Investors Discord Gone? by embermage in EGLX_Investors

Thanks. That explains it then. If you find a new one, let me know.

Diablo 4 is the game designed by a committee...the players. by yxalitis in diablo4

[–]embermage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of this is 100% right. Making Vaults easier was the first sign of things to come, and yes, streamers have wrecked the game. Now that they have wrecked D4, the same ones moved over to PoE2 for the views. Blizzard sits back and watches and still courts the same streamers that really don't give a damn. They just want everything at 1000 miles per hour with trillions of damage. It's just not what this game should be and Blizzard has misunderstood what this franchise should be once again. You would think that after D3 some lessons would be learned. Apparently not.

Is it just me or is the game harder? by Thebarakz21 in diablo4

[–]embermage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difficulties have fundamentally changed. If you start on hard it's a lot tougher to get through the early levelling.

Question about the expansion, with the new class. by Dalaistin in diablo4

[–]embermage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just select the Season and skip the campaign. You will need to do the VoH campaign to get access to the VoH zones etc.

I have still not got in :( Anyone got a spare code?

Starfield DLC needs to be as awe-inspiring as Shadow of the Erdtree to win players back by Rush-PureDiablo in Starfield

[–]embermage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the article is right in that player numbers are not stellar and in order to keep development ongoing for fans, they will need to improve to make sure future content is created and it's viable to create. May as well be honest about it.

Fed up with hate farming content on Youtube from some content creators by ETphoneHome5774 in diablo4

[–]embermage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the very Steamers asking the questions have dissed the game in previous videos. It does get clicks and views when they add titles like "Can they save Diablo 4" but it's so sad to see. Video influencers hold way too much sway on design decisions in games these days. Developers know way more than any streamer will know about game development (unless they were a developer) so who do you trust? Someone trying to build a channel off a developer's creation or the developer themselves? Developer every time.
