They made an endgame that is dull, repetitive, and fairly unrewarding with +5 mainstat being the primary reward, and they needed new content every season to keep things interesting. Then they stopped providing new content.
It wasn't at all surprising to me that population plunged this year without new content since, what, season 5 or 6?
Your original character may not have been a waste of time if you had fun playing it, but its so easy to level up a new character and get geared now that it wouldn't take much time to make a better character in seasons.
Nice idea, but Blizzard has a history of making the game insanely easier/faster with 4 people than solo, so I doubt anything will change. They want to force people to play a 4 man game.
Personally, I'd rather just play solo or with rl friends, and never touch a pug queue in my perfect game. Pug games just are more irritation than fun to me.
Sounds like you want the return of D3 vanilla. No, really. Far in between legendaries, no absurd paragon leveling system, sets not mandatory, fewer difficulties etc.
Basically D3 vanilla + a few RoS features.
I think the early RoS loot was fine. Very rare items like Furnace and Star Metal Kukri, but items that were actually fun and useful instead of legendaries in Vanilla, where a big find might be Mempo, or you'd get a legendary bow that rolled strength or some other crap.
When does the next league start? I played some during Essence league, but am still trying to learn the game. So fun to have so many options with a build.
Path of Exile is a very safe bet. No where near death or staleness and a dev base that is heavily involved in the community. Grim Dawn and Titan Quest are solid titles too, of course, but for the long grind, PoE is the end all be all for now.
Yeah, and PoE's F2P model keeps them hungry to keep cranking out content.
exactly, i don't know why people are complaining. Beggars can't be choosers. for the most part when RoS launched patch 2.4. RoS was done. The fact the we even get this much support is amazing as D3 vanilla got jack.
Look i wanted an expansion 2. instead I got a necromancer pack. What does this mean to me? 2 more stash tabs and a new class to have fun with.
based on this alone, i expect 1 more class pack to come out.
People expected a D2 HD. why? why would they use a brand new engine to remake an old game? The D1 event that'll launch in January. I bet they'll do the same thing for D2. just make a special event for it.
You people saying D3 is dead. I say cool story bro. Go play PoE or Grim Dawn or D2. You don't like the game, no one said you had to continue playing with the community.
Well, people have already been doing that if you look at the number of public games or Twitch viewership or anything else. I expect that trend will just continue with the lackluster announcements.

Only the ones that drop in games with other players. You can give or trade them to the other players in game.

Thank you! Bookmarked and looking forward to using this when the D2 ladder resets on Tuesday.

I'm sure the good people at Grinding Gear Games and Crate Entertainment were absolutely delighted at the announcements.

Right now I plan to jump between Path of Exile, Grim Dawn, Titan Quest Anniversary edition, and 2 D2 mods, PathofDiablo and Median XL

How much do other games cost and how much enjoyment do you get out of them seems like they are more pertinent questions.

I can't say it let me down, because I was expecting a bunch of band aids. Gotta wait for 2020+ for D4 I guess.
