Did Diablo 4 Just Reveal its Best Season Yet? (Season 7 Campfire)

[@quakerninja]

Moving the tree of whispers waypoint is proof that the devs listen to Rhykker videos

[@eldombro7049]

Or they slowly develop the level design skill-set

[@canadiguzel]

As if they needed this to figure it out.

[@mapron1]

More like they started launching their own game. I mean past main menu/shop - what they usually test.

[@thinkagain9315]

Rhykker could start telling them to do things like in PoE 🤔

[@dPraetorian]

yup and his ideas arnt that great soo we're fkd

[@g.belanger8302]

The raven in the tree should store whispers instead of claiming them. This way you don’t waste time going through loot while you are out and about, and then when you have time to claim you can claim multiple caches at once…

[@PTR95]

kinda like the merc rewards

[@dzomlija]

Using the Raven in the Tree gives you the Cache, and not the contents of the Cache. This way you can freely pursue other Whispers and collect more Caches until you think you have enough to take time off to open them all.

[@Daniel-rd6st]

You should be able to store whispers, period. Its always annoying to go back to the tree, because you just reached your 10 whispers, especially in helltide or when farming whispers in the pvp areas. Sometimes i wonder if the devs are missing the basics. When developing a game, you should always ask 2 questions? Is it fun? Will it break the game? So is it fun to have a limit on whispers? No. Will it break the game to remove the limit? Not that i can think of. Same with inventory management in general. If i have to run back constantly to town to sell my stuff, it breaks the gameplay and is not fun. So either give me bigger inventoryspace, less, but more meaningfull loot, or the option to sell/scrap it, without having to go back to town.

[@yo-its-death]

Or they could just put a stash box right next to the raven.

Tbf, firebolt enhancement is not used anymore

[@Orion3T]

They absolutely nerfed the crap out of SB - the Kepeleke nerf alone reduces their damage by a factor of 6. That's means reduced damage to 17% of what it was supposed to be. Then the bugs they have fixed were giving massive multipliers as well. Their overall damage will be a fraction of 1% of what it was. So reduced by several orders of magnitude. I like Sorcs but the changes made sense - literally every build used FB enchant at some point - except for actual fire builds for whom it was useless. And this way it actually buffs fire builds. I would be surprised if there aren't other changes buffing to make up for it (e.g. BL getting its new uniques plus a new legendary power to replace Grav).

[@collapsiblechair9112]

harsh but fair.

[@RebmunModnar]

The problem with the eternal realm is that Blizzard has made so many changes to the way gear and paragon work, and has set ample precedents of arbitrarily resetting character levels or making their gear obsolete and incompatible with updated crafting mechanics with no process to convert the gear fairly that, at this point, it has become clear that the best strategy to "manage" your eternal characters is to just let them rot until such time that some degree of stability seems to have been achieved. By then your eternal realm will have reached max paragon, and you will have truckloads of resources, rune words, top level gems, mythic legendaries etc. so it will be easy to rebuild your eternal characters. In the mean time the eternal realm is going to remain a junk yard for obsolete characters. I feel bad for people that prefer playing at their pace in the eternal realm. Must feel really frustrating to have the rug pulled from under your feet over and over again every new season.

[@hechla]

I just switch gear after the season is over and scrap the old stuff

[@stefbreaker]

Seriously you are kidding right? It's a common season with power gems just in different colours. These devs rly don't get it...

[@Hjutner]

It's feels to me like almost entirely a rehashed season 2, Witch powers instead of Vampire powers, areas taken over temporarily where you can do extra new whisper quests, the only thing really different are the gems. Is it the best season yet? Maybe but frankly the bar is on the floor when it comes to Diablo 4's seasons, the only one that was intersting at all was Season 2, all the others have either had basically nothing for a mechanic or been mostly just frankly been unenjoyable (looking at you season 3.) Also balance changes aren't content, new uniques and legendary powers? Sure that is content, but giving a skill like 10% more damage isn't content.

[@hotpancakes9814]

Not like anyone cares lol, but I think I’m done with D4. I’ve invested so much time in it, brainstorming ways for its improvement, and all that happens is super simple updates and the lowest common denominator changes. “Buff ancestral drop rates”. Really? Ancestrals having a low drop rate weren’t the problem, it was that normal legendaries are bad. The whole ancestral system is a horrible idea anyway. After seeing POE2s live stream, I just realized that it’s time for me to finally commit to that. I didn’t want to let Diablo go due to my past with it, but it’s just pointless now. Game is just…. Not it

​@@marsovacit wasn't a problem that we HAD to use friebolt, but that there was no other valid option for any build. there is one good enchantment for each type of a build, but not 2. it is how lame these powers are that we were forced to use firebolt

Exactly I liked using it to get out of situations but then again it also made it feel slow and clunky when I wanted to use it for pure damage and not mobile utility purposes.

My god the bar is low if this is "big hype season 7 woooo".

But hey, dont let me negative vibe destroy yours, I'm happy for you Rhykker and every fan of D4, I hope you are all also happy with what you are getting. For me though, I aint reinstalling D4 for S7 - with more than 10k hours of D3, I just need something more than Pit/GRs as endgame, Lord of Hatred knows, I've done my fair share of paragon farming.

As a huge diablo fan and supporter and a person who was NEVER interested in poe1 mainly coz of awful visual design i should say - PoE2 looks WAY more interesting and complete than d4. It wasn’t Spiritborn who was broken - it was THE WHOLE GAME and the rest of roster broken for 3 seasons in a row. Starting from season 4 not a single class could ever came close to clearing highest pit level - how is this possible? Why are you even having content in the game which is mathematically impossible to complete? You can’t do maths? Turned out the Spiritborn are the only properly working class and ironically - by a mistake. Why are every season you have to guess - will my character be playable in the endgame or will i suck and forced to start anew? Why in 6 seasons they can’t came up with the concept of adjusting your own difficulty and enemies/loot modifiers for open world, while having the biggest open world in whole genre? Why we still doesn’t have a way to RELIABLY farm the gear we need? Yeah you can farm mythics and uniques but for legendary - forget about it. Honestly i just tired, D4 isn’t a “simple and casual” it’s simply lame and lacking very crucial features

[@jimmy2518]

One single POE2 endgame mechanic is going to be more fun and rewarding than the whole D4 endgame. I briefly came back to D4 for the last 2 seasons to see if they could turn it around after spending a few season learning POE1. I haven't even watched this video to see what's coming, i don't care anymore, they weren't even able to implement things that made their old games good and i suspect they are just going to keep drip feeding some of that (eg an armoury that they developed 15 years ago) to D4 over several years, to try and cling on to engagement. Since the POE2 teaser it has simply reminded me that D4 bad, and I don't think anything short of diablo 5 (and actually being good) is going to change that

[@jimmy2518]

@@Titus.The_Crucifier Imortal was saying the quiet part out loud. the dev team didnt make a game, they made an advert for the in game store and try and keep you watching it for as long as possible. all the good mechanics from previous games were ditched so players would ask for them back and they could look like they were listening. an armoury was such an obvious choice considering how little stash space you have and how many different items you get which basically become junk if they arent for your current build. yet the game was so empty that leveling alts was a way to artificially drag out play time. They knew an armoury was relevant because they implemented one, to switch between your $20 skins on your alts. the skins are so obviously geared towards certain builds as well, playing with an ice mage skin on a fire character? thats silly, better get a fire skin too, and generic ones will cater to people who will only buy one skin

[@Daniel-rd6st]

"Starting from season 4 not a single class could ever came close to clearing highest pit level - how is this possible? Why are you even having content in the game which is mathematically impossible to complete? You can’t do maths?" That was intended, to give people something to strife for and to brag about, if you manage to clear a higher pit than most people. Its for long term gameplay, that way you dont have to adjust the difficulty of your content every time power creep happens. D3 had the same with the rift system. "Why are every season you have to guess - will my character be playable in the endgame or will i suck and forced to start anew?" All characters are endgame viable, though not every build. When in doubt, just wait a few days until people have figured out the tierlists of the season. "Why in 6 seasons they can’t came up with the concept of adjusting your own difficulty and enemies/loot modifiers for open world, while having the biggest open world in whole genre?" Well you can, thats what torment levels are for. What you are asking for is basically adding a dozen more Torment levels into the game. They went that route in D3. Its not the worst way to go but personally i would be more happy, if they cut back on the powercreep, so that the existing difficulty settings remain challenging. "Why we still doesn’t have a way to RELIABLY farm the gear we need? Yeah you can farm mythics and uniques but for legendary - forget about it." Because you would be done with you char in a few dozen hours and would start crying, that there is nothing left to do? You can get tons of legendaries in a short amount of time and you will have pretty quickly most of them at ancestral level. Year, you will probably never find all you ancestrals with 3-4 strong affixes but those should be very rare and not handed out like candy.

After watching the POE2 early access video today, I have to ask why, would anyone continue to play D4? From the gameplay to the variety of activities to the endgame, POE2 looks far superior to anything in D4. D4 is a game built by interns.

Season looks pretty good so far. The change to the tree will be really nice with the Raven, and thank god for the Armory. Definitely can't wait to see some eldritch builds, and how the Rogue and Necromancer changes will be. Let's hope season 7 does some really good things for the game.

[@EldenLord84]

I'm amazed to see so many people reacting positively to this campfire chat. It seemed like a copy / paste of season 2 with minimal class changes. Minions getting lucky hit is cool. Everything else was meh.

[@daelios4768]

Ya dude, caltrops with the auto-dash flurry is incredible. Helps gain impetus when fighting close range, great for avoiding death explosions from enemies, they really should keep the jump back as at least an option. It's how I lead enemies into those annoying spire circles in the infernal hordes too.

[@simondenis970]

It will be interesting to see player numbers for season 7 with POE2 out. I'd imagine it's going to be significantly lower. The games aren't even in the same stratosphere from what we can see from the preview today.

[@jf2849]

I thought it was just a beta mostly for testing the vast majority of people won’t play isnt POE 2 still a year away ?

[@mgee9130]

Well I think we can all agree that D4 is for casual players and knowing now that poe 2 is pretty much as complex as poe I dont see those super casuals trying to learn all that.

[@lashaxoperia5917]

POE 2 will fail. Relax man

[@simondenis970]

@jf2849 i think there's quite a bit more crossover between these games than people realize. Sure there's a bunch of super casuals that didn't play POE, have no clue about POE2. But for anyone that loves ARPGs... it's like, actual fun end game, challenging bosses, rewarding crafting systems. Diablo 4 has none of those. They full launched a game that wasn't ready, buggy, with little to no meat on the bone. I think we'll see quite a bit more people switch over when it's available in 2 weeks.

Shot for the cool breakdown bra. I’m hyped for the next season. My wife and I jam together coach co-op so lots of fun!

[@snrlrocky]

I’m sorry, Rhykker, but none of this seems particularly exciting to me. I’ll probably try it out eventually, but right now POE 2 is the game I’m most excited for and D4 missed its opportunity to hold my interest before POE 2 Early Access. Blizzard is a massive company with so many more resources and employees than GGG, but they have consistently shown that even with all their resources they can only manage to make incremental changes to the game over the course of 1.5 years. I’m glad they overhauled the item system and they’re making changes to other systems, added companions, all that. But at its core, D4 is still the same, and while it’s fun in short spurts, it’s just not what I want in an ARPG to be playing for months at a time.

[@RebmunModnar]

Excited to see Diablo IV evolve in the right direction but at the same time, I am underwhelmed by how unoriginal the season 7 mechanics are. Are they already running out of idea that they need to resort to doing a mashup of season 1 and 2 mechanics? POE introduces wild mechanics with each league: tower defense, MOBA, roguelike mode etc. Why can't Diablo IV try to be a little bit more original?

[@DavidSnow-z3s]

I am hyped, but mostly for PoE2 🙂

I am probably one of the very few people who are looking forward to buffs to werewolf's. I have yet to do a full Druid toon as i wasn't really into pulverize builds and wanted run around as a werewolf. Now I can for season 7. Also, Armory! Finally.

[@jeffgreagrey4585]

I've enjoyed playing Diablo 4, but if they can't fix single target damage scalability for each class and give you a choice of multiple builds that can compete might have to stop playing. I enjoy sorcerer and looks like they nerfed it by taking away the additive damage from burning. The game could be so much more if they would let all classes scale up.

[@jf2849]

The constant nerfs are ruining this game.

[@jasonscott6067]

The sad thing is 90% of players don't want nerfs,they enjoy the power fantasy but the 10% minority the pros love their nerfs.Sb doing to much damage,so what then buff the other classes,why is it always nerfs.

I’m hyped! I honestly don’t know where all this negativity is coming from. Is D4 perfect? No, but the devs are making things better incrementally.

[@hoofhearted4]

D4 shouldnt have done the seasonal reset crap. They should have stuck with long term progression. Do Season, make it take multiple seasons to get a character min/maxxed. Continue to add new content that tests those characters, but also makes it fun to play those characters at max level. Just like an MMO, their original idea (MMO-Lite). Seasonal resets are just bad, and always will be.

[@MrPhenom1995]

@ hoofhearted4 I agree with this.

[@MrPhenom1995]

The character restart each season makes it feel that the progress made is redundant with each new season, eventhough eternal is there but I believe minimal amount of players touches that.

[@Nervous_89]

D4 mid

[@RebmunModnar]

@@hoofhearted4Seasonal reset is a good thing for people that want to start anew to experiment with a new class / build. The problem is not the reset, it's the lack of incentive playing eternal characters. For most players, the eternal realm is little more than a junk yard for outdated characters with obsolete gear. Blizzard needs to find a way to incentivize players to revisit their eternal characters and keep them up to speed with the meta.

I'm not a poe player although I have supported the game before it was cool, I just never liked the gem system and I think it was too complex for no reason. But I have been waiting for PoE2 and after watching GGG's stream yesterday WOW .This is the most innovative systems arpg ever IMO !!! I don't know if I will stick with it, but just by watching the stream, I got that feeling, that urge when you want to play a game, sooooo much something I can't say for D4. The Devs seem to have a vision for their game!!!

If they do a rune slot in the stash, they need to add pulling from the stash when upgrading runes, along with other things.

What PoE 2 offers in EA literally draws in the a*s of D4. It's not even funny anymore xD. Seasons in D4 are embarrassing.

[@kevinsims5791]

The devouring blaze is not a nerf. The examples shown were both level 1. Devouring blaze did 21× to burning enemies and 30× to crowd controlled enemies while the new one will deal 30× crit damage in all cases in general which is good. Both maxed stats are the same just a better application of it now.

[@skygoneinc9962]

I'm out of this game. After spending $120 on this game ($60 + 6x$10) but because I wont buy the DLC for another $40, I don't get: OP class (on purpose), runes, companions and I have to roll random mythics. What a joke, they've gone too far with the locked content. How dare I only pay a measly $120 instead of their required $170 for a game and expect more.

D4 was an early access release in all but name. The game has really only hit what i would consider 1.0 in season 6. I was really very hopeful that they would announce some kind of end game progression, but alas, expectations dashed, disappointment with D4 continues. The game is in a good place, its fun, the loot is fixed, the progression systems have been majorly overhauled and i don't not like them. But GGG just did their big reveal on POE2 today and outlined all the endgame activities we will be able to partake in. Come on Blizzard! Pushing pit and grinding paragon is not enough.

[@nervousb206]

New to the franchise, started because of gamepass. My first and only build I've taken all the way to late endgame is shred druid (finally bought VoH and leveled up a spiritborn this week, just in time for the short lived elixir bug). Anyways, stoked to see such a heavy emphasis on shred buffs!

This is such an overplayed take from people in this community. Diablo is legitimately improving and everyone is still shitting on it. Things SHOULD be better, but this season WILL be the best we’ve seen so far. So many strong changes, and they aren’t following the same formula as before of “either borrowed powers or reworking/adding base mechanics.” They are doing both. POE2 may be starting stronger, but let’s not act like Diablo isn’t taking form & will continue to be relevant alongside POE2.
