Mtx and frequent updates means making people play the game over and over in order to give a reason to keep buying cosmetics and stuff.
Easiest way to do that is power creep. Moar difficulty ,moar levels and powerful gear. Moar numbers , numbers ,numbers. Attack, defense, crit and main stat.
If you like that ,then maybe I'm crazy, but that's not arpg.
A good game has some finality to it.
Why not go the route of wow , call it world of diablo and be done with it ?
Trying to reconcile so many aspects from different genres will result in a mess again. You tried with D3 and failed miserably.
Either go Mtx and free to play game or one time purchase and expansions with support along the way.
Why repeat the same mistakes? Why do they think this time will be different. People will rage again after launch.
When you ask money for a game that will have content locked behind MTX you only will enrage the people. Because they paid for a game that will never be complete, never have all content to enjoy.
It's freaking retarded.
Either that or blizz knows that it can rely on the flock of sheeps that will jump on the scam.
I'm a little confused by the implications of d4 not being FTP, this implies that there is some sort of subscription fee after purchasing the game. When was this mentioned?
Why would you assume it implies that ? They stated that it will be a one time purchase to play and expansions , with microtransactions in between.
Also check the sources in the video description. It smells bad to me . A microtransaction game should be FTP . I'm only talking about cosmetics . I can't comprehend a blizzard title having ptw stuff.
Paid game and expansions should remain pure.
This starts to look like D3 reloaded . Why teh fook experiment again with a genre that is not made for such elements.
The diablo arpgs should only be about story, gameplay , quality and perfection in the long term. What the hell is happening?
