Fixed. Your list sucks.

Progression globes should be removed. I agree. Such a waste of time when you have to wait for the explosion to detonate once you kill an elite pack to pick up the globes instead of moving foward

The new file system that get me latency problems like a freeze every 10 minutes or so who last 1-2 sec. This is very annoying in hc.

I would like to see DiabloFans not show what cheaters that use exploits to progress in a game has to say.

- Too many drawbacks to play solo

- Unavoidable damage

- Mob progression values

Those 3 would be what I consider most devastating for the game as a whole.

Several of the other points are more of an annoyance than a real problem (mats, progress orbs, etc)

Just the part about seasons would be very subjective, and not really any problem at all for those who enjoy them.

Most things that I find challenging or difficult (or in some cases I want to say is annoying) I've come to realize there's usually always a way to overcome this problem on my own. I would also be one to suggest that by oversimplifying the game would eventually destroy it, as sometimes part of the fun (which might be obvious to some people, and others not) is just figuring it out, and feeling good that you figured it out while simultaneously attempting to display that and fit in within a new level of play. Which is what I would try to suggest would mean it's enjoyable to learn something new, and then be able to put it to use frequently in an environment that rewards you for your success in employing that knowledge.

That all being said, I don't really want to perceive problems in a game (knowing what I know about myself, that won't lead anywhere useful). Though if I was to mention something, I'd say at a glance it would seem not every class has the capabilities to reach the same Greater Rift Levels, though I'm not even sure if that's something worth considering a problem (other than the fact it gives you that urge to just play the more powerful character for some reason).

alkaizer got others to play his account when he was going for world first paragon 100 back in classic, when the paragon system was first implemented, then has used other cheats/exploits periodically since, i think that is what that comment was related to AOD Gaming, not at you specifically.

And who would that be? I personally have no idea about Alkaizer but i've never used any cheats whatsoever. I also only play solo so i don't really need to either or am forced to by "clans".

I've been adamant against Thud and Blizzard's stance on this and i still get comments like this. If it wasn't aimed at me, then ok, but you did use plural.

yeah sorry. More aimed to Alkaizer

Thats funny cause last time you asked players what to improve you just ignore almost everything, so why ask again if you arent gonna change anything?

Diablo Fans != Blizzard.... It's not the game developers asking.

I'm worried about Diablo 3 now, I'm starting to see lots of videos of people thinking for new ways to play and to make the game more enjoyable... Isn't this supposed to be Wyatt's job? why are we doing his job? something must be wrong?

I don't want to depend on season to find new builds or new gear... What about the non-seasonal people?

These are the most pressing problems of d3.

The largest single problem above all of these which I have brought up once in a while since d3 launch is their RNG system is not functional on the individual level at all(works fine for playerbase at large tho) it creates long streaky anomolies.

do 40 rifts count any variable like boss or mob type or layout heck even pylon types you will notice the game will favor being streaky the boss type is the easiest to keep track of and you will get something silly like 8 of one boss 4 of three bosses 2 of five bosses 1 of ten bosses 0 of three bosses. Another way to test for this is fill your stash with legendaries in the order you get them and then check against rarity of those legendaries then check for repetition(and those sample size nazis well do this over and over and see if the pattern changes its already been done and it does but at a level beyond the individuals scope which is the point).

The RNG is so heavily seeded you always have to wonder if you are looking for only a few items and you are not seeded for getting those to drop is it even worth your time playing the game at this time or try another day? Or the reverse if you get a really rare item should you go hard and watch that item repeat itself and laugh maniacly at your "good fortune"? Should you stop what you are doing when you start seeing a few stonesingers in a row and start solo pushing GRs? This kind of RNG leeds to all these Questions/obligations constantly ruining the immersion of a high end players gameplay.

The RNG problem in my view amplifies all the problems you listed and more it promotes things like phishing and creates quit points for the players on unlucky streaks.

go ham watch how streaks of rare items like furnace happen. got 1 at 75k shards 1 at 300k then 8 from 415k-515k what if that 415k-515k was someones first 100k shards compared with another palyer in that 75k-300k shard gap(a massive gap easily entire even semi hardcore characters shardpools in here much less on a single slot). This kind of streakiness creates for unfair advantages and disadvantages on the individual scale only super time sink players play enough to push through this and bare the frustrations in the process.

"Balance", especially in a PvE game, is a buzzword. When developers read "balance", they normally interpret that as "preference". And sometimes, player preference and design goals are incompatible.

Also, it's really time to stop cherrypicking at a game that isn't getting too much money invested into it. There are no subscription fees or microtransactions going into D3 patches. So what you basically have is a very small team of underpaid/overworked devs delivering what they can, while any PvP idea they have is forked over to Heroes of the Storm.

To the higher ups at Blizzard, a game with no PvP is a game with no future. The best way to improve D3's PvE might actually be to pressure PvP back into the game, and vote with our wallets if the next Xpack doesn't have it.

A lot of this seems like complaining to streamline the game down to nothing, some things are there for a reason and a completely streamlined game wouldn't actually be fun to play.

That being said, the point about unavoidable damage actually almost completely glosses over the actual problem, which is the way the game scales. Simply put, the numbers have gotten far too big. Even on the character level, jumps in power are beyond silly in terms of when you can cannot do certain things, something that's at an all time high in Season 3 where a single item can literally mean the difference between not being able to do T6 normal rifts and completely facerolling GRift 35. Getting that powerful is fun, of course, but it always leaves that feeling of "I'm not actually playing the game until point X/Y/Z" which may be anywhere from 5 to 50 hours into a character.

Beyond that, incoming damage goes out of control pretty quickly as well to a point where toughness becomes almost irrelevant when you hit a point that everything one-shots you outside of immunity. Sure, reducing all damage by 85% from resists, 85% from armor, 20% from some passive, etc. is great and all, but when 0.001% of a mob's damage is 10x the size of a player health pool, it's meaningless. This has been a problem for a long time, but it continues to get worse as patches progress and numbers get larger. What's the point of all of that resist, all of that armor, all of those reductions? Think about how ridiculously high the unmitigated values actually are.

I'm not saying D3 necessarily needs a 'numbers squish' like they did in WoW, it's clear they want D3 to be a game of extremes, it's part of the classic Diablo design, but at the same time some rebalancing/refocusing needs to be done so that all of these numbers actually mean something.

I agree with them both, it's why I am not playing season 3.

The "full ancient secret set bonus of requiring one less set item" is so ridiculously bad and doesn't fix the problem he was suggesting get fixed. You'd still be "forced" into your set pieces, only with an emphasis on them being ancient, something that already exist in the game. The reward is the additional stats from an ancient, it doesn't need to be more.
