Diablo IV | Inside The Game | Season of The Construct

[@kolai1987]

I certainly hope that you are using these governing and tuning stones as a playtest of a similar system for our actual skills - we need this sort of customization for our core skills as a permanent addition to the game.

[@vest0levs]

Was suggesting the same in my videos and comments to Blizzard.. ROFL

[@jarenb2331]

Yep. No skill variety. Only build metas: predetermined paths. Game is the illusion of choice with no fun customization. Hint: we need 3x more skill options. Everyone doing the same builds with same gear is d3 all over again.

[@vest0levs]

@@jarenb2331 yep and d3 is not a game... Just like Immortal.

[@insertaunnombreaqui]

I've been saying this since day 1, skill tree is lackluster, every season you build the same characters...

[@Bonezone84]

​@@vest0levslol how exactly is D3 not a game? It's nothing like immortal btw

[@sizzledrizzle]

I just wish they did two things. Wish they gave us a horde mode and wish paragon boards would introduce a new board each season that could flavor up old skills. It'd be cool to be a shadow barbarian or a blood druid ...

[@zeriel9148]

Yeah I figured they'd provide new paragon boards with every season. While they have improved from launch, they still seem like they're failing to even match the amount of skill customization and variety that D3 had, let alone their more complex competitors in the ARPG space.

[@rickyversa7407]

Paragon needs to be like 900-1000 paragon lvl

[@sizzledrizzle]

@@rickyversa7407 honestly when they launch the next expansion seasons should remove the need to create a new character,they should just add 100-200 paragon levels each season. And add new boards

[@joshuasanders3924]

​@@sizzledrizzle I hate starting over to participate

[@Ehleminatoa]

Its gonna be "Robot Wars" in fields of hatred if anyone remembers that show

[@1mtis]

Sounds like you’re getting there. Looking forward to the gear overhaul. You also need to start looking at skill tree overhaul as well. Needs more options for different builds and builds diversity within a certain build type (like different WW or different HOTA builds)

[@edindizdarevic8414]

You need to add with each new season new legendary powers and also new uber legendaries. Also it would be great if you can add new ways to transform existing legg powers into new abilities so that old powers feel new and fresh...

[@Godric5024]

They've already have been adding more uniques (incl ubers) and legendary aspects each season. This season is adding 6 more uniques and 7 legendary aspects, on top of the seasonal stuff with the seneschal companion. I'm assuming at least one of the uniques will be an Uber unique, maybe the rest will be class specific, but we'll find out at the campfire or at the latest in the patch notes.

[@edindizdarevic8414]

@@Godric5024 yeah but i feel like it's not enough, not build play style changing... But we will see...

[@adammauer6424]

@@edindizdarevic8414I don’t think anything you are asking for is gonna matter til season 4 when they rework itemization of stats

[@reznovvazileski3193]

Senechals feel a bit like skitterbots 2.0, which is a good thing since I don't think full combat driven pets should be a thing for non-summoner classes in ARPGs, but a shock/chill/barrier denial bot on the other hand, very nice toy to play with. Stationary boss is looking pretty good so far as well, hope he lasts long enough to actually have to dodge some of them but we'll see what happens. We're still heading in the right direction from season to season so far. Now it's down to the 18th and 19th to grab some info so I can make up my mind about what I'm playing.

[@wheatman2170]

You know how each skill can be leveled up once, then you can choose a specialization for the 2nd upgrade? I think all skills need a 3rd choice for that 2nd upgrade. Upgrading skills would still feel simple but less limiting. As a D1-D4 player i can say ive always wanted a little more diversity of builds and skill types. Not to the extreme of their competitors. But more. GG

[@NighCraw00]

I want that too, plus a combo effect for some of the abilities like in Lost Ark.

[@devonm8043]

Looks interesting. Although we need loot filter with items you can chase. Once you get to a point anything not 925 isn’t worth looking at. It happens way too quick

[@qergqg]

YES

[@TheDethsight]

sadly, loot filters won't be in the game until season 4 at the earliest, since that is when the big itemization rework is happening.

[@angryfatass]

If I had to take a shot for every time someone mentions itemization on a d4 video I'd be dead

[@jordantiller]

loot filter #1 QoL feature

[@karsonkammerzell6955]

Season 4 is coming with a whole item rework to try to streamline the item grind so a loot filter isn't required. I don't know if it's set for Season 4, but they have also specifically mentioned wanting to increase the ways people can get 925 gear, because they recognize that Duriel being the only reliable source is a problem for replayability.

[@drumpunk100]

They need to start adding systems to the game instead of replacing them. Vampiric powers were great and now we have no idea if or when they'll be back.

[@adamjohanssonn]

they said that they will continue doing like they did in season 2, put in the best parts from the former season, like the new rings that had the powers from season 1 that were put in to season 2, that will continue, we just dont know what and when

[@Glauber.Safadi]

they cant keep adding all systems because in a few years it'll be overwhelming

[@drumpunk100]

@@Glauber.Safadi the expectation wouldn't be to keep adding systems. It would be to implement the systems that the fanbase enjoyed. PoE does this.

[@Bonebounder93]

have you played poe? its not that overwhelming@@Glauber.Safadi

[@alessioleporati1478]

There will be a patch where we can get vampiric powers in the form of uniques. I don’t know how they will bring back metamorphosis in the form of a unique if you can’t also use flickerstep.

[@Phaxey]

The traps seem cool, but having rewards based on how few times you get hit by a trap seems like Blizz is expecting it to be possible to just face-tank them completely and so there needed to be another incentive not to get hit. I think loot as an incentive is better than nothing, but it would be great if the traps pose an actual threat.

[@andreasheinze9685]

I don't follow your logic here, isn't Blizz expecting us to actually avoid the traps with how the system is set up?

[@stefbreaker]

Its something new to try. I think i understand why they do this. It comes a time where characters are so strong they dont care of getting damage anyway and just do the dps to kill the boss. This way no matter how strong you are you will have to follow the tactic and actually be more active and mindful instead of just rotating the skills.

[@Phaxey]

@@andreasheinze9685 Yes. What I mean is that I hope that traps will actually do meaningful damage to the players, and not only be something you dodge to keep a loot buff up. (An additional point: from an RPG-perspective, dodging traps to keep a "loot buff" doesn't really make much sense)

[@mr.nobody5279]

Only thing that's bad is that we have to wait weeks/month++ for the ranked system. Thats really demotivating.

[@kraglord1997]

Instead of doing things under Kejistan, why not take advantage of the world you created and make it in (above) Kejistan. Why does everything have to be in a dungeon?

[@kaisenji]

Um, because Diablo is a dungeon based game. Duh.

[@kraglord1997]

@@kaisenji Thats funny. Because at least 60% of Diablo 2 is outside, not in a dungeon. And D2 is the most successful ARPG ever made.

[@kaom4713]

I like the companion idea. I could see this being a good addition to the eternal realm but sheesh I already know skins I. The shop are going to be a thing. At least have some achievement skins for us to unlock if it goes through.

[@mortiusshrek8038]

Season 3 looks fun, I'll need to figure out what class to roll this time!

[@burtwina]

At this point I’d much prefer seasons to just be the extra content mentioned here, but just for my initial non-season character. I really don’t want to keep starting again each season, it’s just so tedious. This start again pattern just isn’t a design choice that works for me in a modern game. I really don’t see why this extra systems (seasonal borrowed power) and quest can’t apply to existing endgame chars.

[@kekplexis]

Completely agree.

[@slickperspective2745]

Imagine if we could have a new character that can construct these mechanical things like this.

[@point5zero]

4-link go on, can't be all bad I hope. Enshrouded drops on the 24th, by the time I'm sated with that the ladder should be kicking in so I'll give it a month until I start chasing this. Hopefully they get the hint within the community to release a ladder day one for S4. Bring on the runewords already! It's not like the base in-game uniques are awesome anyway, just make your runeword stack so we can all enjoy a broken build and you know - just have fun?

[@TheCe1ticZombie]

Looks good especially in the open desert area. But what class to play?

[@TheGingerPiper]

super stoked to try this with the WASD controls

[@XJ9LoL]

I like how every comment here is just saying "you need to do X". No one is saying "wow, great update. Really like these changes and it's a good step in the right direction!'. Everyone is trapped in "I want this, I am the main character, listen to me" mentality.

It’s insane that it wasn’t part of the original release. You’d think they’d include major aspects of the game when it launches and not as “please keep playing” ploys. Every game since D2 has had mercenaries. D4 should have been an improvement, not a subtraction.

the direction of the game is amazing. they are really improving, for me a big downside is that the skill tree is very dull and the paragon board doesnt offer enough change to abilities. Imo a big part of the choices in the paragon board shouldve gone into the skill trees.
