How’s your season going? What are you enjoying? What are you not enjoying?
I’m having fun! There’s a few things I’d like to discuss.
First is the spiritborn. Oh boy is it OP. I mean SERIOUSLY OP. I thought the lightning spear sorc last season was OP, but the spiritborn is magnitudes more powerful. It crushes everything.
I expected it to be powerful but not as powerful as it is. I realise that blizzard wants to sell VOH expansions so they’re gonna make the new class powerful but I don’t think even they realised just how crazy it was gonna get.
Obviously it needs some nerfing for next season but I hope they don’t nerf it into the ground so no one ever plays it again after this season. The items need some work too, most builds are all centred around the rod of kepeleke/midnight sun combo at the moment and it would be nice to see more variety.
The season theme is meh. The realm walkers are boring and the rewards are nothing special.
The undercity is good for target farming but the gameplay itself is nothing special, especially as they made it easier with the last patch.
I tried the citadel for the first time lastnight, it was ok but not as fun as some ppl had led me to believe it would be. It’s difficult though. In the random party I was in we got full group wiped about 6 times before we managed to work out what we were supposed to do. That was the second wing of it I did, in the first wing I still have no idea what the objective was… we just completed it somehow. In the last wing I played with a clan mate and followed his lead, I think that was actually the longest and most fun wing.
I’m liking the new levelling system. At this point I’m usually considering making an alt to try another build but I kinda want to stick with my character this season and see if I can get it to 300 paragon, I’m currently around 250 I think.
How is the game without the DLC at the moment? I know they’re trying to improve it but I won’t spend 40€ for a DLC for the game to be as it should have been from the beginning…
still a bad game they gave up on the dodge skill and left/right click skill swaps and are moving to diablo3 gameplay where everything is about AOE dps check with one skill to use and full screen flashing effect.
Boring as hell casino game. Outside of graphic. I doubt of any difference with a freemium game model there…
It’s decent. A lot of the things that have been fixed or improved have been done over the last couple of seasons and so are part of the base game.
Blizzard really shot themselves in the foot by releasing the game the way they did. So many ppl played it at launch and have formed a (deserved) bad impression of the game and now it’s really hard to win those ppl back no matter how much they improve the game.
I made the decision to completely avoid the game at launch as I thought it would be a disaster. I only decided to give it a go when it came to gamepass and I’m glad that I waited as I think those early days would have seriously put me off the game.
I was just thinking about this (Spiritborn OP) yesterday after changing to the Infinite Evade build. Holy shit. I can’t keep up with how much carnage it causes. I literally said out loud “well, this won’t last long.”
I’ll just have fun with it while it lasts and then stop playing once all classes feel the same level of shitty again.
I’m still waiting for the game to go super discounted or free on Steam. Bought it on BattleNet AND on PlayStation. Not gonna pay the third time just for the privilege of no-hassle play on Steam Deck - and that’s the only way I see myself getting back to it.
I’m waiting in the exact same position. I’m thinking I want at least a 60% drop on the base steam price… staying hopeful
