I came for the “that’s what she said.”

Happy to see capstones back like you said didn’t feel like I’m progressing to anything without it 😂

Game is dead

No SSF no ranking this goes to any aRPG.
I even dont take PoE2 ranking seriously (trade league). Its all about who is first to get to endgame and generate ingame currency or RMT items.

Only SSF matters. Funny enough Last Epoch did it right, they have SSF that is actually quite good trying to find specific item types.

nah, I’ve been done since the battlepass change, it’s just the same sandbox arcade nonsense with no real rewards that can be earned through actual gameplay anymore.

Until the game is actually good, just stop.

Still no item filter…

D4 has never been about difficulty no matter how many gauntlets and rifts you wanna massively introduce. There are other games for that.

Sorry, but I actually like being able to get a build together and just destroy mobs and bosses. I don’t really care to be that “tactical” in an ARPG. If I need to grind for gear, I want mobs and bosses to die fast.

Still no end game

Diablo 3 all over again. “Season 20 will be lit!”

Youll have to do renown again every season, great 🙄
Groups of monsters less dense, great 🙄
Tbh, it doesn’t get me too excited.

Cautiously optimistic I think is the right approach. I’m glad to see these changes and steps towards the right direction. Curious to see how it’s gonna be can’t wait for you to try the ptr. I’ll come back to D4 if you do for sure.

It’s nothing more than a bought out franchise with woke gays bilking people that have decimated their reputation beyond repair. For the record…. there are ALREADY games out there that are FAR better aside from PoE 2 that I’m playing and perfectly content with doing it better than D3/4 EVER did. If you’re still in dream land… wake up. Blizzard doesn’t exist. The creators left a LONG time ago. FYI… you want a lifetime ban from ANY blizzard product… just go post on any of their fake gaming forums “homosexual/lesbian” anything and you will be guaranteed to get it.

boss fights will still suck ass

what a terrible patch…

I can’t wait for D4 to get out of Beta!

A bunch of nerfs combined with monster thoughness increased and he is out there giving Ws to everything? Chaos stuff was a big W in season 10, more reason to grind, overpoered builds, way more builds that one-shot everything in the game which is what we really want. Season 11 is making the grind longer, the game harder therefore, less fun, guess we can enjoy the last days of season 10 and move on to Borderlands when season 11 starts

SEASON 11 LOL NOW THEY HAD GOOD CHANGES?

Sounds like more polish on a turd

I guess it comes down to how easy/hard it is to itemize your toon. If it is too hard to get the right stats you need to progress you will need to restart which will be a downer. But if it is too easy to get the stats you need it will probably feel like nothing has changed no matter how “smart” they make the mobs.

A massive change is for me to do decrease damage numbers, make them more understandable. I enjoy more when i see 1k damage instead of seein 10T. Thats not makin any sense at all.

I don’t care, they are reworking the game again

I came to see the massive changes and left massively disappointed

tempering and masterworking changes aren’t good at all. With the last system there was chance and rng, kept you going. With this, slap it on an item and go. No risk, all reward. This is blizzard swinging in the completely opposite direction of where the system was and totally missing on the opportunities in the middle. This is another case of “you think you want this but you really dont” and we’ll quickly see the last system was better (as bad as it was). People are going to think this is boring.

Raxx, you mentioned D4 is about plowing through enemies at the speed of light. Thats all ARPGs including the beloved POE. And POE has it worse, deleting multiple screens of enemies at once. D4 was MUCH more tame in this regard. Lets not knock D4 for this, and leave POE unscathed. If we welcome this change to D4, why not welcome it to POE1 ?

Towers…greater rifts…pit…how many variations of greater rifts are they going to re-color? Im convinced Blizz is devoid of creativity. The feel, the gameplay loop of pit and tower are going to feel exactly the same. Which is to say they will feel like GR. Just so sad.

Luke-warm excited. Thats not saying much. Kind of gave up on Diablo when they announced the next 4 or 5 seasons were powers.

It’s almost like blizzard talked to a group of people, who made game development suggestions based on their own personal revenue stream, instead of anything good for the game or Blizzard’s revenue stream. Shocking

Do they still make our current character useless at the start of every a season and have to start a new one? If so I will continue my 2.5 yr streak of not playing the game because why bother.

i bet they will get it right on the 45th time.

D4 bad

cool changes, so all the content creators will figure out how everything works in the ptr, then release videos and everyone will know what to do before the season even comes out…Fucking hell PTR is such a shit idea.

Why is this game still covered? Because of its name? It is not a good game.

What does RMTing their gear mean?

I dunno what to feel about this. I guess I’m happy they’re actively making changes. But I don’t know if it’ll be enough. After experiencing LE and Poe2, everything in Diablo 4 seems so shallow.

BRING BACK SOLO SELF FOUND!

sanctification bricking replaceing tempering bricking. they didnt listen. Season 11 DOA!

wouldnt the problem with the pylon RNG be worse compared to D3 when you think about it with time spent in a trash dungeon. In D3 you fish for a rift and you see that first pylon is a movement speed pylon you leave and restart. With the current way you know you are going to get one of each so if you see move speed pylon you continue on but the last pylon being RNG repeat means you have to stay in the dungeon until the last pylon to see if you get two power pylons or two movement speed pylons. Two power pylons means good rift two movement speed means reset, but you dont know until you get to the last pylon….

Great video as always Raxx

SSF would definitely be a great addition to the game, let’s see if they add it in the future

I’ve stopped playing in season 7, looking forward to some improvements in D4, maybe I’ll check the S11

Personally, I quit Diablo IV after they released the Vessel of Hatred expansion, because they locked power (rune words) under a paywall – the expansion. I don’t feel like playing the vanilla game when I can’t achieve the same power level as other players. Anyone have similar feeling about Diablo?

i 100% it and DELETE that shit…

with the exception of master working, the tower and the new world boss, it just sounds like they’re rolling the game back to season 0. Kinda trash imo.

Just turn it into an updated Diablo 3 and I’ll be happy with that

welcome back boys!

i hear that the will add some new common monsters with new mechanics with the arrive of azmodan i like it cuz i think was time to add some new mobs

I think some of the changes are good. I like the idea of asmadan being a new world boss. We definitely needed different bosses. I like the changes to some of the masterworking and gearing. I always loved the capstone dungeons, you are right they made a mistake removing them. I think there needs to be more of them.

“Massive changes are coming” I hear this since s2.

you can tell Raxx really wants d4 to SUCCeed but we know it only gonna SUCC more.

Let the bugfest begin

Capstones could be good for rewards but they were terrible as a progression gate because class builds were so different, I could breeze through a capstone with a Sorc at 28, meanwhile minion necro couldn’t get through the first capstone because minion ai was and is still broken and I’d be waiting until level 40 with a Druid or warrior to have enough damage. They keep “reinventing” the game without addressing some issues since day 1. It took ten seasons to allow minions to respawn even though it completely screwed only necros in the pit or hordes. This was their philosophy for pre season and season 1 to have “meaningful enemies” and lower power players and the game almost died.

RMT? Does he mean RWT ?

Sounds like a lot of good things. Might have to come crawling back after I finish with borderlands 4

So they steal the 20% qual from poe. Honestly thats a W. Please start taking all of poe’s ideas blizz and you might end up with a half decent game. Itemization still looks horrible. Why not just get rid of masterworking altogether, go back to d2 itemization and iterate on that, would be so much better.

If you’re going to dumb down D4 even more to look like D3. What was the point of dropping D3 development

It’s only taken 11 seasons for them to make some changes. What incompetent devs

I hope “visual clarity improvements” are for real. It’s cute they’re trying to keep visuals consistent, but visibility of projectiles and AOE paths been sub optimal in many cases.
Overall, might get me back for a few days, maaaaybe a week, any more than that – it’ll have to be as good as implied, but my faith in all this is very low.
That is if I even remember that new season is coming out…

looks like diablo 3 with extra steps. I’m all for it

Whatever they do, won’t make me reinstall a game that has this price tag, paid expansions, and 30 dollar skins.
Not giving them my time anymore. Less so, my money.

Unlike everyone in this doomed comment section. I will give Season 11 a chance, as I do with every season. It only cost me time, and I ain’t got nothing better to do with it anyways. If I don’t enjoy then I just move on.

How many times did they rework items at this point? It seems like there is no clear vision at all what they want here. Other games add real content in their season while D4 reworks itemization every season and sells it as something new.

Paladin?

looks dope !

So umm I kinda new to Diablo 4 started season 9 just got used to how it’s working and they gonna change it. Oml I’m glad it looks like they are moving back towards how Diablo 3 was like kinda. I dunno devs have a way of saying one thing but when it comes it still behaves differently. Half the videos I watch on this explain nothing and say probably just like I do when I read it. I was hoping one of these videos on yt would come up with a smarter answer than I had. It seems we’re all stuck with the limited info and making our best guess and hoping it works out better than it is now. 😅

i removed the game after the season of the spiritborn, i guess now the game is updated so much that the game is very large to download and blizzard downloader works like shit for me so i doubt i will punnish myself with that unless it’s really good and i doubt that

There is a seasonal theme its sanctification of items like vaal orbs

For me, the best change to D4 is that I am no longer playing it.

F diablo 4

Raxx, to clarify the Renown/Season Rank thing in regards to skill points and Paragon points…

Assuming it will match the number of skill points and Paragon points the old Renown system gave us (as well as the stat boosts and Paragon points from Altars of Lilith) under the new Season Rank system, at level 1-3 you’ll receive 4 skill points at each level, and level 3-6 you’ll receive 6 Paragon points at each level. The Season Rank system replaces the season journey system, but perhaps there will still be bonus material/gear caches as additional rewards in the Rank system.

I prefered capstone to the Pit to be honest. Holwever I don’t think that new capstones will be for world tiers or torment levels they will be just for ranks. I do NOT agree with the renown system. When the game launced and back to Seasons 1 and 2, one of the biggest complaints was grinding renown every single season. They remove it now bring it back, I do not want to spend hours looking for lilith statues AGAIN, and I will guarantee they will not be in the same spots every season.

I miss my bash barb. That was the most fun season d4 for me.

After you finish masterworking you can sanctify your item with an extra legendary affix or something else. I think that’s a seasonal mechanic though. Hadriel is back to do it.

Looks like I might be firing up d4 again, tempering and master working made me quit so sounds like a win

Damn near every post in the comments says the same thing. Baaaaaaa! The walls are closing in on me in this echo chamber. Gotta be bots, right?

Good shit, as always! Season 10 is so boring I didn’t even make it to paragon before quitting. Looking forward to see if they actually make this game fun again.

nobody cares about this game

Haven’t played since whatever the first season of the expansion was almost a year ago. I put in 1k hours. Should I come back? I’ve been quite alright not playing this game lol

I am not falling for those titels anymore 😀 They need to rotate 180° to nearly fix it.

D4 s11 will be dogshit

These are just huge nerfs. Disappointing

this game is still stuck in remaking its core parts with not enough new content 2 years later

Nerfs socr perma teleport

Looks good. I’ll probably return for it but…

The potion changes seem a bit sketchy. I never used them to recover health, I used them mostly to remove poison. Hopefully they rebalanced the melting effect of poison. Guess we’ll see how the life affixes are (expecting 2 life on hit 10sec cooldown 😂)

The potion rework is stupid as I still want 7 potion.

But no one wants “dealdy” mobs in a fkn A-RPG… i want massive gore explosions and a rain of loot. Not this slow BS GG is doing with PoS2. No one wants random BS on crafted items… i dont want to waste my time. PoS2 is a pure time waste simulator…

What really bothered me was the Berserk feat, as a LATAM player, they do not have localized prices… it was so cool, but so expensive.

Torchlight infinite while being pw2 is still miles better than d4 imagine that.

no. 😂 fool me once shame on me.

I won’t come back until they completely rework items. Get rid of item power. It reminds me of destiny. It doesn’t really matter what items you put on because it’s constantly being updated with new drops. It just doesn’t feel good.

Wake me up when they bring back the Paladin 🥱

No shot Raxx, I don’t trust d4 team to make it decent, it has been bad for too long for me to try it every season. D4 bad.

There is no fuckig way im grinding renown again!!!

i thought you were done with this crap? revenue changed your mind? like Rhyyker who stopped playing years ago but still keep churning out stuff

Tempering deterministic is nice, but kind of feels vanilla here and if there’s something greater than vanilla, it is the new master working – just stack the power. I enjoy master working; it’d just be nice to increase the odds of which affix you wanted critically increased

good god already season 11, where has the time gone

They always do one good season before the next payed expension :’)

Wow, just like the last 10 seasons?

people are still playing this game, wow

Personal Wishlist:
*Legion Rank Tier System
*Legion City/Town Defence
*Legion Stronghold Events, or (Strongholds used as control points/demons etc can retake strongholds and you either have to defend or recapture)
*Legion Region Events (Players have to cooperatively kill x#monsters in region to spawn bosses for loot.
*Permanent return of past seasonal activities, or semi weekly events of past seasonal activities tied to a ten tier reward cache for event timer
*Fields of hatred can spawn around different regions/territories like Helltides
*Roaming open world bosses that drop caches
*City bounty boards for only gold caches
*Replayable story missions markers around whole map that range from normal to legendary (almost impossible unless have a great team) difficulties with weekly reward caches
*Speedrunners weekly-biweekly league events- tied to story mode markers/pit/under city with ten tiers of cache rewards
*Challenge events that last a week with five tiers of progression each having ten different challenges affixed to, each challenge completed gives a currency that can be traded for a specific type of cache
*Helltides can now envelope whole regions and maybe even towns or Cities
*Some type of stress system attached to time exposer to Helltides, the longer you spend in darkness envelops more and more of your screen, LOS, or other effects but rewards increase
*Double amount of Challenges
*Double amount of Collectibles
*Codex for collectables
*Codex for Monsters/Demons encountered with lore or game functions
*Deaths show Monster that killed you on death screen with lore or game function attached
*Better Hardcore character rewards for risk
*Better Fallen Hero screen/function/or tributes
*Have many more ideas but this is getting long

Raxx 🎉

Im skeptical. think I might skip this and Season 11 all together. The D4 team is very unstable. This game is guaranteed to be bugged, turned on it head and builds nerfed every season. How are they going to make money? Like it or not, consistency,, quality, good content and stability sells better. Blizzard are far from nailing this.

Can we just get a remake or remaster of Diablo 3?

11 seasons of redesigns. It’s quite insane how little clarity of vision they had from the start.

Honestly I don’t see how this is a major overhaul. Seems not to move the dial at all

I used one scroll to retemper an item the last 2 seasons. I mean it’s not amazing but tempering and masterworking are pretty low on my list of things that need overhauls.
The loot is so boring.
I get more dopamin from loot in 3 hours in D2 than playing 3 weeks D4.
Runes are so terrible. It’s so bad.
Skill trees are aweful.
Paragon boards are boring, the same every season.
Renown? Realy?
Leaderboards gonna be great for the 1% that can compete.
I expected very little, but this is pretty much a nothing burger for me.

last chance guys

they need to change the battle pass back to what it was and cut the price in half. 2 pass’s can buy you a new game…

The usual promises…..game still sux

As always, in a dark tunnel, they’re taking a step in the right direction toward the light – the approaching train of layoffs and the next game. It was fun being part of their unpaid QA team from beta into season 1 to season 6. Have fun, guys.

lol the last time they did this they made it even worse, no trust in them making it better

Diablo 3 was about 3 years in before it was good, Wake me sometime late next year.

unfortunately, the copium is strong with this one.

You were pretty generous with your commentary on the combat changes – it sounds more to me like dumbing down the entire system. It could be good or bad, we will see. These devs always seem to take the least creative and most simplistic path.

This is basically Diablo 3 groundhogday… as in they will EVENTUALLY get it right… but damn youd think they would learn…

This will definitely have me reinstalling. Also cautiously optimistic.

Leaderboards: a feature for the 20 biggest streamers and no one else

The Tempering and Masterworking changes sound like an overall nerf of gigantic proportions. Yeah it’s nice we can pick exactly what we want with Tempering BUT only being able to temper one affix on is an objective nerf. And Masterworking also only buffing items by about 20%? That’s also a significant nerf from what it used to do

It sounds decent but I have to say I hate timed themes in games. it makes me feel like it’s more of a job then a fun event or system. Timed challenges in a game is a cheap mechanic versus having true end game challenges, content and progression. but we shall see. Yes a true SSF would be better for a ladder type system.

Too little, too late.

Not fooling me, Blizzard

For me, I have always thought the talent trees sucked and there was barely any variability. In d3 we had like 25 abilities with 5 passives each and it was so fun. With this it’s the same 3 builds per class and it so dull

lol! Still looks crap. They invested into the crappy design and trying their hard to make it somewhat better, but keep failing at it. I went back to D3 a little while ago and had a lot more fun playing it. D4 has nothing special in it.

i put on this video and fell asleep, Diablo 4 trying to improve ASMR hits different

Diablo 4: Season of Diablo 3

Am I the only one that hates timed dungeons/instances? It severely limits the build possibilities down to the best ones you can find on internet. What if I find a way to make a really tanky character? I can finish the tower without dying but not in time so it’s a fail? This is kinda discouraging players from coming up with different strategies and funnel everything into “run fast- gather enemies in one spot- oneshot everything” kinda builds. Especially when they made defense stats much more meaningful, at least let players be rewarded by it.

their greatest patch, is like poe mid league changes 🙂

2 scenarios here.

1. Either rod was holding them back with creative freedom

Or

2. After rod left they didn’t know what to do and said “let’s just copy d3”

This feels like just re-tuning the same pile of crap, still sounds like crap. D4 needs foundational changes, not incremental ones.

If at first you don’t succeed, 11th time is the charm. If only Blizzard had billions of dollars at their disposal to actually make something good…

Are you telling me that I will have a reason to launch D4 again after playing the last time in Season 2? Yikes!
I’m getting my fancy pants for sure

they need sets and primals this stupid set up they have is not fun

May God bless you for making the video. But after listening to these changes it’s not even close to enough to bring me back to the game. I found this other game called path of exile when you started playing it and until Diablo 4 can stand in POE shadow I can’t go anywhere near this product.

Im from the future, its even worst than you think.

Remember this comment.

that capstone change is amazing. I dont wanna get to excited by not going to lie this update seems insane and like they are actually doing somthing to make the game better

I think its better for the game if rax just doesn’t talk about? Just the sound of his voice is so unenthusiastic and apathetic he literally sounds like he hates to talk or think about diablo 4. Rax I would forgive you if you just said you are not interested in covering diablo 4 content anymore because at this point you do more harm than good lol

Still nope

imo, at the end of the day, i can`t believe the game will get so much harder tbh

Not sure how I feel about armor protecting against non physical damage…isnt that what resistances are for?
Totally with raxx on the capstones, I cannot for the life of me fathom where their head was when they removed them in favour of just torment realms….

Sounds more like challenge rifts and Greater combined….considering the changes I will try season 11 and see what its like, but promising signs at least.

Thanks for going over it so I can skip another season. It’s the same stuff just rehashed

The bosses changeup is nice. No more maiden in helltide. Finally

Looks like they got an AI system and asked it to subtly take some good stuff from D3 and PoE1/2 and how to not shut this (D4) down. I don’t mind being neg-nancy and just call out their crap. The only effort they’re making is how to keep it profitable. @Lazy_Titan called it already… “Raxx is about to collect another ‘Fell for it again’ award 😂”

Okay, the lore looks nice — but everything else? Excited for what, exactly? Sure, if you were a dedicated Diablo 3 player, you might enjoy it, but there’s really nothing new here. They’ve made the only good systems in Diablo 4 way too easy — there’s no real grind anymore, you just get everything handed to you.

Updating the monster AI? Sounds good in theory, but it won’t work in practice. If the builds aren’t properly balanced, adding smarter monsters is just a pointless waste of time. They die before they even have a chance to move. All diablo 4 devs has to be swap.

This no longer sounds like a game, it sounds like a damn job. There are quite a few things that need fixing, very little of wich is planned, seems like Blizzard is ok with going in the wrong direction. Back to POE I go.

I’m long past carrying about Diablo. It’s beyond boring.

more like massive same shit dif name

As always, appreciate you reviewing patch notes and providing Blizzard feedback. Every day they don’t hire you as an consultant is another day wasted.

For a multi-dollar company they are doing great! By Season 100 the polish will be unreal! Perhaps you will also load only half of every players inventory

meh

I was on board with everything right up until the renown changes. Who wants to grind that stuff all. over. again. That was the whole point of when the game first came out. We do all the renown stuff and it stays forever in both the seasonal and eternal realms. We earned that sh-t and now they’re kind of taking it away.

2 steps forward
1 step back

Honestly seeing Raxx so excited for this made me actually want to finally buy D4. But watching the live stream with Riker and the Devs acting like adding D3 style features was a good thing made me loose interest already. They have absolutely no imagination in Diablo same boring shit used over and over. So I will stick with POE and Last Epoch.

The whole slowing you up in leveling to just make it harder sounds horrible. Could be another skip season.

Im even less interested to come back

and spiritborn will still be OP compared to the rest. what fun

Yaaaaay we had to grind all that renown for NO FUCKING REASON… rainbow brigrade stikes again..

Soo…… Still no extra stash tabs, huh.. Hard pass.

Welcome back Rax

I’m trying to understand the leaderboard screenshot. The top of the board is higher times and lower tiers???

I like it, less fumbling around for gear.

Making enemies more annoying isn’t exactly what I would count as improvement. I don’t overall see too much “massive” or even creative ideas in this. It is god damn season 11, how long do they need with 2 teams at this point? It’s getting sad. Every class being some variation of “builder spender” gameplay and boring Skilltrees and the terrible design that is “core skills” is still one of THE biggest issues the game has.

And I find it hilarious how the Content Creators keep acting like more than maybe 10% of players would ever care about a leaderboard in these games. It is such a useless “but muh competitiveness” feature that will do nothing for 90% of players. Also they have now literally done “it’s greater rifts but with a different name” how many times? Lmfao

They just remake Diablo III.

Oh look they let you reroll some stuff, then proceed to bloat the number of affixes found on items and add new ones. The same give and take where they give you a sense of change without actually changing anything

Pls read the secound pach note relese, i really want your opinon, thx.

its too late for this game

Season 10 was quite enjoyable. The chaos gear farm was perfectly frustrating

Right direction for sure, problem is always the same: what took them so long?

“usually what D4 is walking forward at the speed of light, murdering 10k enemies with a click of a button,” lets be fair, that is legit POE1 mapping summed up. I enjoy POE1, POE2 and D4, but I do get tired of POE1 and D4 doing similar things and D4 gets hated on. IMO POE1 and 2 are much much better than D4, but it’s these type of narratives that just kind of bug me.

Sounds like they are throwing more garbage on an existing mountain of garbage that is D4. Stinky.

Clickbait title. We know improvement is impossible.

RMT is still not skill, and it might be a brief advantage, but eventually most people will catch up and pass them on the leaderboard on skill

So if you bought D4 you get a free copy of D3 Resurrection?

The most positive update D4 has had since launch and it still isn’t exciting. Its so hard to want to go back when there are better alternatives out there right now.

I’ll follow the progress here but this isn’t enough for me to come back, yet at least.

I may be misunderstanding something but the grind for renown sucked the first time. Doing dumb little useless side quests and dungeons. (I still dont have the final obles for Nahantu because I didnt get them the season I played that campaign and cant be bothered now) The reward for doing them and the Lilith statues is never having to do that again. Having to do that every season will be a big nope from me.

I have played for about 15 hours combined since Dec 12th 2024. It will be interesting to see if I can add some extra hours to this already huge number, but I want to try this out of curiosity, when the actual season arrives, not the PTR. I don’t have time to lose testing the usual Blizzard shenanigans.😂😆

11 seasons to see improvements, wowsers

Big L energy, “massive changes” are minute and several unnecessary. Still the same old boring classes, boring skills, boring builds. They ran out of ideas for seasonal powers and said “we’ll just introduce a mechanic that puts 2 legendary powers on an item, done” D4dead

D4 good now? 😀

But seriously been playing since beta D4 and each season less and less but still completed all seasonal journeys. Its like my checkmark being done the content.

I can see a lot casual will be mad with this. Basically they nerf everything to the ground. No more bonk one hit boss kills and easy start with a lot skillpoints. Also capstones are back so you cant yolo with crap gear. I used to get to T1 farm a bit and then jump directly to T3 and shorty T4.

I have been playing season 10 since it started and quite frankly, I love it. I think they finally found a good balance and I enjoy D4 again. That said… I have been saying since Season 1 we need a leaderboard and SSF… now we are halfway there!

I think Blizzard focuses entirely too much sometimes on the connectivity aspect and playing with people they forget about the real challenges that can be done. We DO need SSF. Badly. But it definitely seems like the game is trending, finally, in the right direction and I will DEFINITELY be playing the PTR on Tuesday!

Wonder what happens if you already have a 3ga/4ga item with the new MW system. A ga gets doubled?

Raxx I know you started from Diablo, but it’s time to let it go my friend. Just let it go

I think it’s too late. Nobody cares anymore about Diablo

Wasnt there gonna be a skill tree change too?

I’m happy with this. Put an actual dodge and we golden

They are changing the whole game. Remains to be seen how engaging the end game will be. Hope they get it good enough for Raxx to come back

This game is a trash can fire

I wish this game had something to make me want to come back! Been gone since season 4!

D4 bad poe2 bad

We all know the loop. They try to “fix” things. Then next season they try to fix the previous fix. Still no end game either lol

Drop a like if you watched to the end and are still waiting for the “massive changes” to be announced. And no, a franchise that’s a hair away from 30 years old needing this long to realize what needs to be changed in order to make their game good isn’t really “moving in the right direction”…it’s more…not having a direction at all.

Too little too late

They need to scale down the damage. 5k should be an insane crit, doing a trillion feels stupid as hell.

Ngl… renown is nothing I want to farm each season

Love ya Raxx but can’t care about D4 you should move to full time POE2. D4 is still a boring souless cash grab and you shouldn’t provide it with your time

Season 17 gonna be fire

I swear, every time a new season comes around for Diablo 4, it’s advertised as “Massive changes,” only to find out after it’s released that the changes weren’t that massive. But hey, the developers are still “learning” how to make their game and “listening” to their community.

The big change is duplicating the pit. Season 11 is a week of content, max.

are they finally fixing the memory leak issues? i still have them, i have to restart the game every 45 mins :/

I haven’t played since season 2. Your recaps are helpful for me to decide whether to come back or not

Dam still no solo self found, I’ll probably come back for the expansion but man I really wanted ssf

POE 2 >

D4 BAD!

I sure hope they put some fun back in. So far all I see is more work required.

I’m glad to hear your thoughts on these changes Raxx, and I missed seeing you playing D4 bro

Yeah I’m not following for that again 😂

Raxx you looked at the short notes for the changes to the base game. Theres also the PTR notes which has the season theme the new uniques, the tweaks and changes to existing skills and items to take into account the changes to resists and fortify and more.

What colour are the helltides going to be this season?

Always in the right direction! But never getting to the location!

So this massive changes are literally greater rifts from D3, adding removed dungeon and work on monster AI?

Yeah, keep going little blizz – 50 more season and you may get a game ppl wanted.

what a load of crap. go back to your poe and stop endorsing crap changes.

Saw the title, glad it had the season number in it, so I know how many times we’re up to on major changes coming to Diablo 4. 🎉 😢💯

Things like monsters and difficulty changes will be inevitably offset by a power creep, so they won’t matter. The fact that Blizzard is still messing with the core of the game means they don’t have clear vision. I don’t think I’ll be going back. I wish things were different.

Jesus the comments are negative. I’m actually excited for the changes and I’m glad Raxx seems to be too but man you really can’t please some people

I will withold judgement until after I see your thoughts on the PTR. I hope to be excited about Seasons in D4 again one day. I’ve skipped the last two.

To all people already complaining about s11, do yourself a favor, and go listen to the video Rhykker put up yesterday… Its a sitdown with the devs, going through all the changes..
Its way way more specific than what you can read at the website.

Yea but they still won’t fix the ugly ass face on the body type B characters… game still unplayable

ah NOW they change things… they didnt before?
maybe now they know how “early access” will end…. nah probably not – better F* up and if noone plays anymore release Pala.
i have an idea for season 12:
lets change all damage and armor calculation – also lets change crafting and all monsters
and another idea for Season 13:
lets change all damage and armor calculation – also lets change everything else
and another idea for Season 223(when the game system has been changed 222 times):
Lets add build/item variety and balance

I Remember in the Past they already “upgradet” the enemy AI so that they will act smarter/deadlier ect ect , and what did we have ? Yea we more or less onshot everything . Its Hack and slay not chess , we want to smash enemeys and not tactic attack all around and to be fair they will never get it to a lvl where it matters , we always seek for more Power to one shot everything , so i dont count on that update .

so, back to the begining in at least to aspects?

OMG after 11 seasons diablo 4 atlast going to become diablo3 🤣🤣🤣im just kidding it seems a good patch

Took 11 seasons to make it into Diablo 3

Wake me up when loot filter 😴

Still looks bad. The itemization is the number 1 problem. Get rid of aspects, put them on a passive tree. Let rare items be BIS. We need dopamine on drops. And we need real crafting.

I would even go one step further and say that the Capstone thing should be a part of your campaign. Just make all the activities a part of the campaign – there is no need to introduce them with separate quests except in the eternal realm. I think the extra content should be weaved in the story. D4 has a great campaign if you ask me and that can be used.

So it turns out you can effectively brick your Mythic through sanctifying. Is this true?

lets take away your renown your healthpotions your paragonboard points. Lets make the aspect rarer and make it all harder. Lets not allow you to have fun and try to keep you as long as possible. They never learn this is supposed to be an Arpg.

They should have just made the pit attached to the leaderboards who wants to have to do all these boring things plus now towers just so they can say it’s content open your eyes people

sleepy changes…

What is RMT? around 14:30

The only problem with D4 is that this kind of changes take 11 seasons to make, while other companies do this in a season.

Finally Making Diablo 4 a POE-Like. About time 😂

where is content that brings the base game to a decent level?

Yay they made a leaderboard for the streamers lol the only people that can just no life these shitty games

This is the worst garbage they could have ever given us

Erenshor is a game made by 1 person. A simulated MMO and it is way better that’s Diablo. IMHO.

0:47 having a good time replaying old gamers like AC Valhalla. I played for a few hours of the season. Just meh

So D4 is changing its name to D3 v2.0???

So I thougt you won’t it anymore😂 why you still speaking about it ?

It took this long for leaderboards and its just D3 greater rifts 🤣

“better than anything we had before” is the most out of touch comment you can give on this. you need to reevaluate what you say about this game or leave it. this constant hate on d4 is just sad

Who are you kidding Raxx you’ll be done with season 11 in 4 hours

Paragon board system is very boring.A new system is needed.

I just gave up on the game completely. It’s much simpler.

Finally it is not random.

Check Rhykker’s interview with devs. regarding Season 11. Quite good and answers some of your questions.

Ah, another new carpet in the same crack house.

How much do you want to bet, that this game after this patch will be EXACTLY like it is right now? As in you press a button (sometimes two) and see the screen move around you and something happens but you couldn’t care less because it’s hard to fight your eyelids?

You say this every other season lil bro

Surprised they’re even wasting their time anymore

I’m not sure about the new tempering and masterworking.. they sound a bit too simple. Just grind and choose the one you want? No gambling involved? This is a Diablo-like game right?

Why do I still watch these? I haven’t played since launch. What am I waiting for?

When you said massive I actually expected something big. The changes to the masterworking and tempering seem like good things for now, and bringing the capstone back is good. I know you siad that this feels like a combat update and if we give it that it seems like the bare minimum. This is a missed opportunity to make changes to the skill “tree” and how skills work, along with making the paragon board not boring. I might try season 11, but when people say “massive changes” I expect more than the bare minimum.

Somehow still no stash space buffs…

nothing here to bring me back

They aren’t facing the issues the community has but the ones of their design, and this is the issue.

Diablo 3 had a great formula it only needed to be modernised why aren’t they just doing that…

Those changes sound good.
But I am wondering where the difference between the Pit and the Tower is now.
Also, I would really love to see a complete Paragon revamp.

D4 needs an auction house so badly and removing trading between randoms. It’s so annoying to go into a 3rd party site to try and get the mats you need to craft your Mythic armor cause you got a billion of the wrong legendary runes. Hell just copy LE. DONE.

Seriously, season 11 and they still are trying to figure out how resistances should work?

As a D1 and D2 veteran I cry seeing what Blizzard did to Diablo franchise over all these years. It just to be genre defining game, now it is just a joke. Why we are trying to be excited for stupid D3 greater rifts coming back to D4 now? This patch is most lazy design I can think of. By the way, what happened to open world? We will send everybody to towers now?

Aaaand another change of the Game that will change nothing but a Nail in the Coffin more xD And after some Month they change everything back and blah blah blah.

Season 10 was a positive surprise after not expecting anything. But from experience hearing monsters will stack less.. It might not be as good as it first sounds. We’ll see but I have a feeling there’s going to be some growing pains with such a massive redesign.

Are there going to be powers in this upcoming season if so they need to balance them carefully or they’ll trivialize the whole point of these changes especially early leveling when gear is going to be scarce

14:28
Isn’t tier 46 better than tier 45? Also the better times are ranked lower, this makes no sense to me.

LOL, who cares?!

There is nothing massive about this … kewk.
To fix this piece of shit … you need to rework the itemization, from scratch.

Those changes are even worse than before,now there’s no grid on masterworking at all,so basically we now make gems lvl 100 in day 2 and season is done that’s all we have

Renown only standing permanently in the eternal realm is dogwater. There’s no shot I’d do altars & tenets again. Capstone dungeons returning is nice. Will have to see how the enemies & stat changes works. The crafting changes sounds promising.

But. Does. Power. Come. From. The. Skill. Tree. Yet?

so, they are basically reworking the entire game -again ? why ? are we still in early Access ? these indie developers – you got to love them … they could also fix the server issues,with the rubber banding, the bugs all over the game , the connection issues – but thats considered gameplay i presume ? also : a new story , that doesnt use reused assets ? like a real story ? let me guess, new cosmetic BS and ingame pets for 20 dollars …… and mono builds – where variations or multiple “own” builds dont work and i have to alt-tab back and forth from maxroll to get my build to run ? – from some geek that had too much time on his hands to build a powerful S tier bla bla bla build ? this game is a full priced joke as of now …. fine … lets rework it – again and again after that and again and again in 12 month ….

Nope, the other games are too far ahead. There is still the big loot chase problem. They dont get me man

what colour are the seasonal powers this time? /s

So…. They’re removing some RNG and making it more like D3.
Why did they make a new game for that, to slowly move into that anyway?

some incredibly mid changes…. blizz is godly at being mediocre now

Shuffling the current systems around we’ve already done doesn’t sound very appealing

Pit seems completely obsolete now. Not used to unlock difficulties and has same tiers as tower. Take glyphs out and put them in tower and you can just remove it. No clue why they didn’t just add leaderboards to the pit.

Still no new skill system, is that going to be like D3 too? Hope it’s more like LE.

Also no new inventory system. So we still lag every time another player appears, still have item duping and still can only have 6 stash tabs. That’s a system long overdue a complete rewrite.

Is there really anything they can do at this point to save the game

I’m very excited especially for all the combat changes. Monster rework has me the most hyped for sure.

And still it sounds to me like too little too late…

Blizzard: Because we’re creatively completely bankrupt, we’ll turn Diablo 4 into Diablo 3. Also new expansion soon. Give money now.

If there are no season theme on PTR means there will be no season theme at all, those changes are good, i agree, but it’s kinda preparation for next expansion. I assume season 11 will be kinda boring without season theme. Also not clear about rewards for this leaderboard dungeon, what the point of doing it ?

Diablo 3 started awful. But tuned into a an absolute gem they have the formula but are late getting to it

Does new world boss matter if it’s just a laggy stat stick for the most part?

If PoE change There Liga with 100 Leiters of patchnotes all Are exited!

If D4 change some mechaniks to improve the game (all guys cry Long time for this changes) every one hate them 😂

It is so Crazy, whatever they do – the Community hates. Maybe the Community is the Problem.

U left just stay away

this wil not make me install the game again, and to get all the ff-ing altars and renown again. fuck that shit. maybe for blizzard this good, but to me these changes are not great!

massive changes (tinkering with values, renaming stuff) while poe every couple months adds tons of content, reworks and fixes….blizz is a joke unfortunately 🙁

6:57 “It’s gonna actually be a game”. My thoughts exactly !
I get that, at some point, Hack’nSlash games are compared to a meat grinder. But in D4 S10 it’s so ridiculous, I would have more fun literally grinding meat !
I never understood the brainless spam clic speed of light screen clutter gameplay 🤡

…… items can masterwork up from 12/12 to 20/20?!

Guess we have to farm another metric ton of “obducite” yet again…. (/tinfoil hat: blizzard will update their ingame store to temp the influx of returning player to fork out their dollars)..

Diablo 4 is dead and you will again fell for it.

ill consider playing when they nerf the DLC price

At the start of your video I was hoping for something like monoliths from last epoch or maps from poe. These are all just foundational game changes that doesn’t actually excite me at all. There still isn’t a meaty endgame system with depth of progression.

I listened to the whole thing and honestly it seems like blizzard is chasding its own tails. Another major rework of systems and in some cases its more like the original system which was reworked into what it was now.
Honestly I didnt hear anything to get me excited. Season 10 was the first season i skipped. Maybe i will give season 11 a go but I will probably wait until the expansion.

This sounds like Diablo 4: Diablo 3 Edition

Rob24543245 is creamin rn with these changes. Just let this game go blizzard. Actually let your whole studio go.

No chance yall falling for it again

only having one temper is dumb tho and will have massive implications to build ,, like you cant have one offence and one utility say for a example

D4 management: take everything that makes poe2 combat engaging and put it in the game.

…what about quality?

Yeah port that too.

Vaal orbs look good too

Yeah that’s sounds great. Just make sure you give them different names

I can’t consider D4 a playable game until they replace the skill twig into a skill tree.

The Renown grind is going to be *boring*, and we have to repeat it every season? No thanks.

They are slowly developing Diablo 3.2 and we are the QA team

spoiler alert its gonna suck fuckin ass

8:56 Have you had a stroke, Raxx or is your memory failing to recall what was required to earn these “kinda weird skill points” we just magically start with in a Season?
If you can’t be bothered to remember what you played, that makes one of us.
Aislyn Hall & Team are stealing our Skill Points that we earned by completing Town Quests , Lilith Statues & Portal Discovery. Sleepy Joe Shelly & Team told us we would have these Skill Points every season. Aislyn Hall is determined to destroy every single advantage from 925 Gear, to no more unique gear pieces earned in the wild, to now STEALING our Skill Points that we earned by completing the assigned quests by the Diablo Team.
Aislyn Hall cannot be fired fast enough based on the changes, lies, deception & betrayal. I’m so tired of the happy-go-lucky-sing-song voice nonsensical answers that define Aislyn & everyone tasked working on that team.
I pray Season 11 is a colossal failure.
Enjoy having your house robbed and your possessions stolen by the woke squad.

Blizzard is so creatively bankrupt that they have to keep referring to old games to come up with ideas

I didn’t buy the first expansion, and I guess this massive changes are definitely not enough to make me buy it.. I’ll wait another 10 to 20 years, let’s see
..

As a casual non of that is interesting at all

season theme = jucing activities – which is cool 😀

Here we go again. Took 10 seasons, 2 years to get here for some actual changes.

Wait a minute, do these corporate people want to reset all items on characters again under the pretext of changes? If so, they really treat their customers like addicted gamblers with dopamine deficiency.

i do not want d4 to be poe2 which is way to slow and cumbersome. i’m casual and I’ve loved the fact that I’ve been able to make toon with moderate hours that can blast sh*t up.

D4 2nd expansion will be better than POE 2

I think the changes they are making are great but they still need to add more endgame. After I get bis gear I feel like I’m done and I quit until the next season. Btw where are the set items? They have said sets were coming but we are 10 seasons in at this point…

Are they completely scrapping the aspect system? That’s the only way loot even becomes fun in D4. The aspect system makes looting items extremely boring and tedius. It’s the only ARPG that I skip loot on the ground while leveling, it drags everything down. There is zero targetted farming in the game. The world bosses are so boring to fight that people pass out fighting them. D4 just isn’t fun. They need to do more than fix a few systems. They need to completely scrap most of the game. D3 continues to be more fun than D4. D4 was never fun, not even in beta.

Don’t care. Still playing poe2. This game systems are too casual for me now.

Character building is boring AF, combat is boring AF (copy pasted from D3 but feels even worse), campaign and story is “one and done” (nothing to make you feel like repeating it)…all in all, just usual “grind fest for the sake of grinding random numbers” slop. Also, the competition is getting bigger wile the overall number of “gamers” is on decline because of the economic/industry pricing people out of gaming. This is not at all a good time for D4!

This game is fucking cooked. Am i still gonna do 100B Damage? Yes. Am i still traiding with 100 Million gold? Yes.

They change the only grindy system (Tempering) to just pick what you want. So again 10 houres taken off the season. Nobody liked capstone dungeons after season 2 so who ever had the idea and who ever greenlit it, has no idea what the players want.

Combat changes sound good but for the 10th time we get no meta progression, we get redone old systems with an absolutly retarded awnser of “Blizzard is an itterative game studio” They themselves dont even know wtf they are talking about. xD

“massive” lol

These changes are not even that great.
Massive changes would be reworking the open world.
Adding content.
These are just slight changes. Lol.

Season of Loot Reborn 2: Electric Boogaloo

So far those change sound like hey let’s copy Poe 1

Wow title of video got my hopes up. Hearing everything, not so much anymore

Smart ai and such mean nothing in a game where you will gear up and obliriate everything before they move 😂 but buzzwords sell good

Blizzard…the Race is over. PoE 2 already won this Generation of ARPG

At least raxx isnt payed by Blizzard unlike Rhykker

How are these changes massive?

So instead of adding real content they keep putting in all their effort into the shop nd core system reworks. This seems like another F season

with the amount of backtracking the D4 devs have made, the frostylaroo vid is gonna be sick.

So if your item has all affixes being greater affixes. whats the point of master working?

To be honest those changes sound a$$ for me 😅

the Tower = Undercity. It is a timed dungeon, and I am not a fan. I really dont participate in Undercity or that mandatory party (2+) requirement of a dungeon. I kind of like the other game mechanics changes. And the Capstone affix on equipment is random? hmmm

11th last chance. Only braindead blizzard loyalist are still playing this game

All this is minor and rehashes. I guess we’ll have to wait one or two additional paid expansions to get a game interesting for more than a couple of hours.

Really looking forward to this! I mean, what could possibly go wrong? 😀

i am from the future so here is what will happen
rax will try season 11
will face the most miniscule inconvenience or friction possible will say something along the line “well maybe nest season” and then go to poe to casually ignore the exact same things that “made” him stop playing season 11

I loved the old pre-VOH design with capstone dungeons, super happy they’re bringing them back

All i want is a proper endgame system😢.

Completely forgot that D4 even exists still.
Crazy it’s still got people playing it.

The combat is fine rn it’s fun AF an build variety is huge. Fucking dumb changes imo. Bring more classes an base skills wtf

Si they copied from PoE and their previous games. There is hope… 😂

They sold a dlc with a scripted end boss and a Find Out Next Time! Cinematic.

I won’t be buying any dlc or playing d4 unless it’s absolutely proven to be an Incredible game that you just have to experience. I doubt that will ever happen.

Grifts for d4? love it …just bring back standard Paragon levels now… 😀 i dont want these Paragon Board nonsense

Nothing can save this shit game. Why won’t you people just give UP and uninstall blizzard launcher. D4 = ALWAYS BAD

I still think the game is getting better over time. It’s taking too long, but it is.

The funny thing is, we already had a leaderbord in D4, with the gauntlet, which, iirc, didnt survive for more than one season. Its main problem was (from my perspective) that (since the map was fix for certain time intervalls) you had to perfectly plan every step of your run for a top score, when to activate the shrines, etc. Too much thinking required for an Diablo game for me 🙂

just remove life on kill. why make more readily available. just remove it

Great that tempering and masterworking are becoming deterministic, their randomness was one of the main reasons I’ve stopped playing D4 after season 4. Will consider coming back for season 11.

The update sounds terrible

LMAO. They are turning it into D3.

You used to be my favoite D4 commentator. Now I tune into your monotone soliloquy and immediately regret it.

what a pathetic way of revealing new season:

1. announce live stream with rhykker to reveal all the new stuff
2. post a blog an hour before the reveal that shows it all
3. turns out that the reveal is a 1.5h video recorded before and rhykker sits there or rather walks on his treadmill in silence until the video ends where at that point we already know everything from the blog post

also december will be poe2 league month so i can already tell its gonna be a week or less for d4 and then poe takesover

imagine being a youtuber and having to depend on clickbait bullshit – soul crushing

Took them 2+ years to figure out Leaderboards …. yikes!

so same skills in season 11? D;

Not a super regular… but I’ve been around multiple times and enjoy ya but I’ve got to say… I’m just done. I’ve been playing since the original, this one from day one. I JUST now beat Lilith on T2 for the first time ever, lvl 170 and JUST got my second spark to build my first ever mythic after hundreds of runs across the game on hell tides, dungeons, etc.. RnG has ALWAYS been the absolute worst, even with the drops this season. I’ve NEVER gotten a single mythic type drop in any season. It’s not fun to grind thousands of hours throughout the years and to have that kind of “luck”.
