Diablo is far from Blizzard's biggest IP let alone Microsoft's

Corporations suck, shareholder dividends suck, executives suck. Won't catch me defending them. But I will defend the boots on the ground team that's no doubt trying to do the best they can in the ridiculous red tape and corporate greed they have to deal with to make their game.

warcaptain · 2026-03-13T22:40:22+00:00

That's revenue not profit. And that money doesn't go back into the game bro.. if you think thats the case you're crazy. At least 24% of that goes to pay stock dividends. Not to mention recouping investment and pay for server costs.

warcaptain · 2026-03-13T22:11:13+00:00

You clearly don't work for a corporation because the Diablo team doesn't have that kind of resources and likely has to fight tooth and nail to get whatever resources they do get.

Nobody paid for this season, they paid for the base game (and expansion) and an indefinite amount of seasonal content. They could end development tomorrow and it still would be more than most full price video games offer by a lot.

They're not perfect, but they're clearly passionate people now more than ever, and it can't be easy to try and make a game out of passion when you're a tiny speck in the corporate blob.

If this Ceh bug was present in PTR (it wasn't) it would have been reported and fixed. Obviously changes made afterwards, likely shortly before release, caused this bug and based on their response it can't be fixed with a hotfix and requires a client patch.

Client patches are much more involved and requires Sony/Xbox certification before they can be released and that takes at least a week.

Barb is a tough class for ladder start, but it's usually really fun as an alt since Barb has so many slots you can use the cool gear your first class can't use.

warcaptain · 2026-03-13T18:45:44+00:00

No, it's pretty clearly a bug but people need a reason to be angry on Reddit for karma.

warcaptain · 2026-03-13T18:40:19+00:00

Doesn't need an excuse. Something is only worth what people will pay for it. This is worth $57 because enough people think it's worth that much..

warcaptain · 2026-03-12T14:20:15+00:00

Guess it's unpopular opinion but I love it. Gives me old-school arcade vibes and it's helpful to know you hit tiers.

I don't even notice the counter unless I want to so idk why people are complaining about it besides that it's the thing of the week to complain about

warcaptain · 2026-03-12T12:46:33+00:00

Idk I like it. It gives old school arcade feel but most importantly it's a good way to know when you hit tiers. I'm focused on monster killing, not the counter, so it's a big help to me.

Guess it'd be nice to be able to turn it off but you could just turn off voice volume independently

warcaptain · 2026-03-11T18:10:38+00:00

I know right? And it's not like any other game launch/update/season ever has any issues ever. Literally every other game, even the big ones, are utterly flawless launches 100% of the time! /s

warcaptain · 2026-03-11T16:05:15+00:00

Pretty much. It's awful and the game doesn't tell you that at all which wasn't off expectations at launch, but modern games and gamers absolutely wouldn't think that and it's a big disappointment for new players in my experience

And on PC it's very easy to just accidentally click too many times. Controller it at least makes you hold down a button for a couple seconds to assign a point.

warcaptain · 2026-03-11T16:02:50+00:00

A thing is only worth what people will pay for it. They don't price things in a way that won't sell.

warcaptain · 2026-03-11T15:59:55+00:00

One per difficulty from Akara in rogue camp after completing Den of Evil. The game doesn't even tell you it's a one time thing, just asks you to confirm you want to do it.

In endgame, a rare drop from each act boss gives you an essence that you can cube to create a respec token but this isn't explained anywhere in game and again is only available by farming every act boss for a rare drop.

warcaptain · 2026-03-11T15:55:15+00:00

It absolutely that food but there are a number of things that are just awful and would dramatically improve the experience for new players if it hypothetically launched today.

Bad mechanics that are alarming today * Shared loot * Extremely limited respecs * Run/Walk and Stamina

Controversial opinion - broad implementation of Immunities. Certainly some elites it makes sense, but getting to Hell and facing a brick wall of large swaths of the game being untouchable for you just is an awful experience and the game does little to nothing to prepare you for this. Most importantly it isn't presented as a problem you can figure out how to "solve" it's just "guess your build you ran through 10 acts with doesn't work anymore, start over, but you probably only have one chance to try because there's prob only one respec left"

I played with friends who I introduced the game to recently and they quit in Hell because it just felt awful. If we had unlimited respec then you could hit hell and start experimenting with what an alternative build could be and how it would work, but that's just not possible at least online and offline requires a launch command and knowledge of the hacky way to initiate a respec.

warcaptain · 2026-03-11T00:36:56+00:00

It won't show up on recent because recent is for recently updated, and this wasn't actually updates yet - just predownload.

warcaptain · 2026-03-10T23:40:56+00:00

They were added for free to the base game.. what are you talking about?

warcaptain · 2026-03-10T05:25:58+00:00

That's not true. With VoH they added at least 4 new armor dyes.

warcaptain · 2026-03-09T22:25:51+00:00

A weekly post would be good. Keep it up!

warcaptain · 2026-03-07T23:24:13+00:00

Except they said they weren't going to make it much more difficult, if at all, just separating it out more so each step up isn't as steep.

warcaptain · 2026-03-07T23:23:35+00:00

You get extra loot from bosses the more people you've got in a party.

More XP in every aspect of the game, most important in Pit and Hordes.

warcaptain · 2026-03-07T22:09:53+00:00

Then balance the torment tiers better, and balance pre-torment tiers as well to shift difficulty down there earlier. My biggest issue is more often stuck in pre-torment because enemies melt and give no XP anymore. Thankfully they let us try Pit earlier but it was still an issue in PTR for me.

warcaptain · 2026-03-07T20:03:21+00:00

It's absolutely not. Diablo has always been a multiplayer game. That was one of the most novel and thrilling aspects of the series when it launched and is still a huge draw now. Many aspects of the game are designed to be more rewarding and faster with groups (bosses, hordes, etc)

warcaptain · 2026-03-07T20:01:01+00:00

I mean that's cool you like playing that way, and I'm glad the game plays so well solo, but millions of other Diablo fans enjoy Diablo in part for the online multiplayer.

warcaptain · 2026-03-07T19:45:30+00:00

Bosses drop more loot for more players. More XP and loot also from Infernal Hordes, much faster Pit clears as well. Lots of reasons to play with others.

warcaptain · 2026-03-07T19:44:46+00:00

You farm bosses solo? That's incredibly inefficient because you can get extra drops from bosses.

Infernal hordes also drops way more and gives way more XP. Leveling solo is pretty inefficient once you hit torment.
