As i've said, if you remove the loot hunt part from D2/D1, you still have an dungeon crawler action focused RPG, if you do the same with D3, you have nothing. Loot hunt is an part of what defines diablo, is not the unique part.

02/14/2019 09:18 AMPosted by StinkyfingerIs it better than having Enigma being mandatory?Gear and build are two different things. One fire and one wind druid are completely different despite both using the same skill tree. You can give the same gear to both. They will act, play and be different. LOD brought OP gear, sure, is a problem. But this doesn't means that D2 is a bad game.PS : You don't need Enigma to kill hell baal, but you can't do anything without set on T13diablo is not just about loot hunt. You remove loot from D1 and still have an amazing dungeon crawler game with good athmosphe…

Killing monsters to get loot sounds like how one progresses to me. I cited that specifically as boss runs in general translated to skipping the majority of the game merely to take advantage of their inflated loot pools, while also being less subject to the randomness of immunities that'd outright neuter builds in Hell. (...)Diablo is not just an loot farm. Have loot farm, but have much more than it. Diablo should be an game where your gear enhances your character, not a game where gear determines your characters. Exploring an randomized world, where everything can happen, like enemies trowing …

Meaning they don’t have to buff character damage to make it even possible. Doesn’t sound like power creep just a hard mode that is extremely difficult but possible using the same tools available in the game.NG+ is actu…

02/12/2019 06:42 PMPosted by SaidoshaI'd rather farm rifts than Mephisto.That is another discussion. Is end game content, not character progression. Sure, D2 doesn't have good character progression. There are tree layers of character progression on D2. Skill, attributes and gear. On D3 your level doesn't matter, is only an requirement to wear gear and are zero skill progression.

02/11/2019 09:16 PMPosted by Gr8HornytoadInfinite progression only works with power creep. This overly incentivizes time spent and eventually the inflation of rewards makes everything done previously a massive waste of time. If the next game devalues a players time over the life of the game like D3 did, It will fail.[/quote]Again mentioning Dark Souls, probably one of the best "mainstream famous" rpg. Once you complete the game, you go to NG+, most starting enemies receive a insane buff to be a challenge to a lv 70 char. I honestly believe that put fully armored enemies with different eqquipme…

02/11/2019 07:24 AMPosted by OrrionLike it or not, yes, the weapon scaling was an innovation - born out of the previous games where it really didn’t matter what a caster was wielding versus a warrior.Technically they just made all classes have all classes gear like barb(the most boring d2 class to gear IMO), removed almost all affixes from items that barbs needs like FHR, attack ratting, etc and make the max skill level for any skill being 1.Is not innovation, is just remove things from one class and homogenize the classes, imagine if in next diablo, barbarians needs to gear faster casting spe…

(...)The biggest reason D3 is unbalanced is because of infinite scaling and the stupidity of constantly and continually power creeping (or power leaping, more accurately) set and some legendary bonuses.Look at this Season - we’ve got set bonuses with 15,000% and 20,000% modifiers. It’s beyond dumb.Infinite progression with a lot of multipliers is awful. If was an more "linear" progression with diminishing returns, maybe an near infinite progression can work better

I just don't understand people who say that D3 innovate. Innovate where? Making a monk punch scale with an big and sharp axe? Removing core fundamentals of what make an game A-RPG and puting a lot of generic mmo mechanics is not innovation02/10/2019 04:42 AMPosted by KushiSenseiI think that the next iteration should do something different with the formula of the standard ARPG mechanic.Maybe an spin off but the main diablo should be just like the main diablo. Just like if Bliz decides to make Warcraft 4, it should be an RTS. An Worlf of Warcraft 2 being an mmo is ok.
