Yeah, would be cool to see more of the item hunt and max level seem so far away but you eventually get there. It's what made stuff worthwhile in the 1st two. Because either you got a really cool item, or you finally hit that next level. Where d3 lost its mark is itemization and getting to 70 is a joke. So I'm hoping we see dark, gritty, great music from the 1st two. Along with nice qol implementations and combat from d3. I've gotten my monies worth from d3 but at this point I feel it doesn't excite me because you're never searching for a new item. Just the same set piece, with better stats. I hope they pull together and give the franchise something great. Otherwise I'm all for other arpgs to come along. I don't feel like there is a ton of them. Be interested to see if lost ark actually comes to fruition
I know everyone hates the "make it like d2" argument, but let's be honest, since blizzard north and brevik didn't create d3, look at what we have. Here's things though that should carry over from d3
combat-the best out of any arpgs , the animation and smoothness is awesome, well done.
transmorg or morph, whatever it's called, change the look of your character, that is cool.
thats about all I give d3 credit, what I want to see return, and added.
dark atmosphere, get rid of the epileptic seizure of lights, I don't give af about all that, you're fighting demons, not unicorns.
make levels matter, screw paragon, it's a rush to get to 70, so you can actually play. In d1 and d2 I loved that levels mattered, and it was a super long grind to achieve final level. Right now leveling is useless, even paragons are a rush to get 800 so you can boost mainstat.
items-this correlates with leveling, how cool was it to get a unique at level 40, and still be able to kick ass in the 50's with it. Make the lower tiers be something besides some crap to re-roll, d1 and d2 again had this done right.
story/lore-make it dark, make it new, hell reboot the 1st story if needed since most kids only played d2. But I didn't feel adventure mode was needed, the story sucked and for a while there was no free roaming, if you recall. Don't give us Disney characters like Magda, aka maleficient. Bring back Cain!
give each character a stash, but allow a stash that can be accessed by any character.
item hunt-this makes me play the game, d3 shit all over that quickly. For a moment loot 2.0 was good, then kadala came, cool concept at first, but then it became a joke, same with cube, so easy to get all the gear. Then they went buck wild on sets, killed the game there. Make it awesome to not only level, but get stronger with items, and skills, not just items as it is now.
skills-I keep thinking about this, builds always get stronger than x, because theory crafters exist. I'm no mathematician but make all skills for each character output the same damage, maybe that could help even out builds? I dunno just throwing ideas out.
thats all I can thinks of right now. TLDR-take the best of all 3 but bring Diablo back to its core, story, loot hunt, and leveling.
i would say trading, but that's a tough one to tackle to stay away from bots. Also, I played since Diablo 1, still my fave btw
Looks pretty awesome so far. It would be cool to add elements from all the Diablo games. Being a huge Diablo fan would love to see fire wall as a spell again. I think you should hopefully find some talent and start a Kickstarter page to get the funding needed. There are many ways today to get support. Wish I could help more, but my job is a voice engineer. Not on the gaming side of things. Although could always try to help with monster creation or storyline ideas. Just let me know.
It looks to be permanent bans, I just read on the demonbuddy forums and there are all these butthurt botters being like man, para 2100 GR86 crusader RIP and well didn't matter I wasn't even playing anymore. They are posting official account closure notifications also in their thread, I recommend to hit up their forums if you want a good chuckle! I guess one guy said he hasn't played in a month either, so seems like their detection has gone back some time, which is good. RIP to all the dbag botting scum!
If you are playing a wizard and are looking to push the delseres set is great and owns both of the top builds. I struggled through with firebirds off the bat. But you will want to run greater rifts to get your gems. So hopefully you have your rings and amulet with the sockets. Regular rifts will be great to run for gear, a good measuring stick if you're going for efficiency is how fast you can clear it. It is sometimes better to drop the torment level to speed through. If you are on seasons it is wise to close out a rift after killing the rift guardian. This way you are on your way to getting more gr keys. There is much more advice I could give, some of this you probably might know already. Feel free to ask anything else and I can try to help. Hope I helped out with some things.
Thanks for taking the time to put some ideas together. Some of those I really like, but bleu42 brings up some valid concerns. I think it would be nice to have a slider for the TX Difficulty to scale up, let's say it goes as high as your highest gr solo completed. This way you can farm mats and get more Xp. Melting t10 is fun, but that progress bar hardly moves at higher paragon. Overall voted for some of your ideas.
Well if you really want other hack and slash. There are games like grim dawn, path of exile. They are more similar to d2 in aspects. But bar none d3's combat is untouchable. The legendaries are cooler in d3 also in my opinion. I've played both a little, but always come back to d3. Poe is free to play, grim dawn costs, but I picked it up cheap on steam sale.
With how little of permanent ban waves they do, it's not like I would require an all day monitoring system. Although, something like sending a unique message that a player has to respond to might help prove a bot. Then again, the programmers who write these would pick up on it and script it to respond. It is a tough road. I do somewhat agree with you also that a more severe ban would probably enforce it better. Appreciate the good points you brought up! Would like and hope d3 gets better and better.
See that is the sad thing. Give valid proof, and they ban his account. So he goes out buys another license, bots again, won't stream it like a dumbass this time. Chances are he won't get banned, even if he's still botting. They should have a watch on people that get banned, check their play times periodically or be able to log onto a server and try to interact with the user. If no answer then ban him again. I grind out my levels, it's part of what Diablo is. I really don't get the appeal of botting. I know this just helps allow him to run GRS all day. I could care less about leaderboards, just sucks for all those who play legit that do want to get to the top, Kills the drive.
I hear you, I hardly play with groups, but would like to gain some more friends. I am also a Chicagoan, shoot me your battle tag. If I run rifts we go, salvage and repair and on to the next! I want to get my killing in, not sit around in town. I'm paragon 615, took a little break, but ready and excited for the new patch.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any build I click on doesn't seem to work.
