Imo D4 has the best gameplay, best graphics and great sound/music and still is behind PoE and LE.

Just shows these kind if games need more than look pretty and play well.

Technically the issues the game has could be solved I kinda doubt that they will though.

Personally I won’t play again before release of the itemization patch.

Gauntlet leaderboards for twitch stream not from me play 1 hour day

Diablo 4 killed itself when they abandoned and ignored Eternal Realm.

My problem with the gauntlet isn’t the gauntlet. Item storage, no loadouts, the unbelievable amount of time needed to farm Uber uniques to get access to a higher tier gear. Overall I want it to be easier to try out other builds and classes but I’m stuck in the same loop. Where I have one set of items that are worth using. The 925s on tier 81+ dungeons has been the only improvement that I have noticed and really cared about this season

It’s interesting that people want to bash the game and say they’re done playing it…but they’re still here watching videos about it. Those two things just don’t jive. Lol.

People want to hate D4. It is as simple as that. Do they need more things to do? More diversity in specs? Yes! But people, and content creators especially, want to hate on the game constantly.

“Slickly designed product” but “missing heart and soul”…dude those two statements do not reconcile. D4 is a travesty with so many bad decisions whilst Last Epoch literally has “heart and soul”.

One big thing that is very sad about the Gauntlet, is that you cant inspect people. 9/10 are private profiles. And when you can, you cant see talents and paragon,. so its useless. AND.. what you can see, isent even a snapshot of theire winning spec at time of completion, but theire current, so its useless AGAIN 😀 it really is kinda beautiful how much they get wrong 😀

Who has time to do a build every week? This game should not have been released we are all fools who have done nothing but pay them to beta test their shit game. The developers do not even play the game. The end game is trash. Uber uniques are basically unobtainable for the average person. D4 is dead and they need to fire them all,

Let your alts use your max lvl weapons once you get to 100 next season. That would be ‘fun’ right? Remember that word? The game no longer has the luxury to ignore it. I do think S4 is ‘make or break’ time.

There really has to be a !qualified psychologist” somewhere thinking of and signing off on all these strategies somewhere. Whoever taught them psychology needs to be fired or the psychologist isn’t following what they were taught to get the qualification…

If you have never been on the leaderboard in any video game, then the Gauntlet is not going to be content for you no matter how good the design is. A leaderboard only can fit 1000 players per class, there will always few thousand hardcore players who take your place because they have more time to grind, theorycraft, or have better mechanical skills. I enjoyed the Gauntlet from the start as I only competed with myself with the score, I was up from 250K and now above 600K without Uber Unique and no elixir/incense, already on the leaderboard overcame 150 casual players with Uber Uniques 😁 The competitive nature of Gauntlet force me to relearn the mechanic of many common sorcerer legendary aspects and passive as the most time we just put in them without considering how to use them effectively. This week’s Gauntlet is all about managing your Shrine effect and using the most efficient route and gear to keep your shrine on as you can one-shoot all mobs and kill a boss within 3 seconds with the shrine even without Uber.

As Gauntle is a PVP content with PVE setup, mechanical skills are very important not just theorycraft. Someone with the same Uber and build will score extra points by moving faster and more precisely, or having a better setting on their keyboard, better game mouse, play with a controller.

Wow back to Ball Lightning, what fun……

Wait have I misunderstood this Gauntlet thing wrong, they just force players to run spesific amount of minutes in the dungeon and see how much points they gather by killing enemies? I thought this was more like D3 Greater rift stuff. Wow the Gauntlet just went worse imp.
On top of the fact that you just go around in circle in the map, what the fuck is the point in that…

Try playing Guild Wars or Guild Wars 2. Definitely recommend! Stellar mmos although GW1 is old but is far better than most newer “popular” games and GW2 has more stuff youd might see in a live service game but no battlepass or P2W, incredible soundtrack, awesome class building, lots of fun exploration even with mounts, building up your own guild hall and decorating it to your hearts content. And you can even change the camera angle to different perspectives like 1st person, different sides of 3rd person, or kind of top down

And the pvp is really good, including the World ve World vs World where it pits 3 servers against each other fighting for control over an entire map of camps, keeps, and strongholds.

I rarely comment on videos, but I (at least) have been having fun. I’ve been playing Diablo since it came out, and while I am no gamer I do have almost a thousand hours playing D4. I am looking forward to learning how to enjoy the Gauntlet – I am leveling a sorcerer right now so I can use the build you designed. I doubt very much I’ll ever rank up on a leader board, and don’t care. D3 was a mess when it came out, and it took literal _years_ for it to get good. To me, games are for fun, and raging about this or that seems silly. Maybe I am just old, and remember games that never got updated, or patched, or changed – they were the way they were, and you just had fun with them, or you played a different game. Either way, thanks for the videos & builds, this Diablo Mom appreciates it.

Blizzard sucked all of the enthusiasm out of me.

Blizzard has no excuses….There are dev teams doing way more, with a fraction of there budget..

Diablo in general is the same there about since Diablo 1, the difference here is the lack of content because of the speed of the game. Lack of endgame, they are trying to make things which are good for the generic player who spends like 1-2h a day and also fun for the people who have the time to spend 10 hours a day which is quite hard. Instead of doing it weekly should be maybe a daily reward and at the end of the week from the scoreboard, you get a unique item with a chance for UberUnique, then would be probably more appealing and keep the carp s3 all together until they think of something for S4. Then again, Blizzard is not in the best position since WOW Cataclysm or so, content is trivial or really bad so I am not sure if I will continue paying / playing.

sadly the general fact is that only complainers get heard…people that are having a good time with Diablo get drowned out by whiners…

tbh alot of people (me included) have just abandoned d4 now that last epoch 1.0 released, i dont even have diablo 4 installed and it will stay that way until d4 gives me a good reason to install it, which i cant see happening until at least theres an expansion and a new area to play in, the guantlet or season mechanics arent enough, the lack of end game “content” is seriously lacking as well, you can tell the game isnt made by people with a vision and passion, whereas last epoch does. my twenty pence worth

Everything revolves around crappy bosses. 1 shot bosses with minimum to none mechanics. How can we enjoy a game when there are no good fights in this kind of game? I’m not asking for WoW top bosses but at least sth similar for single player that scales good for groups.

I’ve had nothing but fun in Season 3. It seems like people like to just make up their minds and dramatically overreact to everything.

I do enjoy theory crafting And working out puzzles in games like this unfortunately this is where the but comes in but I don’t understand why we can’t play this in the eternal realm i’m not interested in grinding the current game for Uber Uniques until there’s a better system that gives some more guarantees. Currently the hours I’ve played has been high, but I’m not interested in continuously playing something as if it’s a job to ensure the drops that I need I really want to enjoy this game, but I’m not at the moment unfortunately. Please note, I do enjoy all your content for Diablo 4 thank you please carry on.

there should be more mob density…there is this one dungeon in Lost Ark and the mobs spawn in and my comp stutters..mobs fill the screen..they need that with more gore..like chuncks of brain and stuffz

Just move on from it. It is what it is. Blizzard sucks at live service.

For me S2 Uber mind killing grind did it for me. Skipped s3 to play POE, will see how s4 turns out, not playing it on release that’s for sure.

I believe your assessment that the Gauntlet video was disliked for the Gauntlet and not the actual video itself is accurate. This seems to be a recurring theme. This site seems to be an outlier where the content surrounding Diablo 4 it not filled with vitriol. I am a casual gamer and have enjoyed the game. Yes there are things I would like to see improved or changed and the Gauntlet does not hold much interest for me as I am not very competitive, but I liked the video and was pleased to see you are enjoying it. Diablo 4 does seem to face an uphill battle of their own creation and I hope to they continue to improve on it despite all the doom and gloom surrounding it.

I love your content, got into the channel because of Proob.

I’ve played aRPG’s since diablo 1. (ok boomer)
I have about 50k hours in diablo 2
1200 in PoE
Currently 500+ into Last epoch if i include early access as well.

I LOVE theorycrafting builds, I love making off-meta builds, adapting builds, learning the deep rooted mechanics of an aRPG what makes them tick, what works nicely, what feels good. You’re not the only one I promise Josh.

The thing is, D2 feels like a nice box of lego.
PoE feels like a case of Meccano, it’s complicated but fun once you learn it.
Last Epoch feels like a box of lego with a couple of gears here and there (some of the bricks are also funny colours)

Diablo 4 feels like a set of A B C blocks.
We had no endgame or much class variety in season 1 when i quit the game.
We were promised re-itemization, more character depth, balancing and more things to do at high level.
I check back on the game during season 3 and all I see is one stash tab and a time attack dungeon using the same ABC blocks and shallow builds with items that don’t really matter a whole lot. Also one barb spec is STILL dominating even pointed out by the devs during the campfire chat.

I’ve personally worked in gamedev, granted blizzard is a huge behemoth it takes a long time to get things done.
Barely anything in two seasons? You can’t be surprised why people just don’t care about the gauntlet. Why would they want to time gameplay that’s streamlined to the point of feeling homogenized?

I really hope D4 pulls it out of the bag, but at this point all i’m expecting is the bag to rip and the garbage to spill on the floor.

Either way keep up the good work on the channel, looking forward to more content in the future~ <3

Is there a funmeter where we can see the fun of each game?

I’ll check out Diablo 4 again when it’s Season 4. I loved Season 2, but season 1 and 3 have been duds if we’re honest. For now I’m really enjoying Last Epoch even if I’m still lost on how Forging works exactly..

Everybody is able to make games fun to play, blizzscam not. They only waste your money. Dont buy the game if you havent yet,dont buy any dlc bs or crap from the Shop. They only do bs with your money.

I really don’t understand why people including you say that Last Epoch Gameplay is outdated. Bro the gameplay us so good. Animations are smooth and don’t force you to stand in place while casting, the speed of combat is a perfect balance between fast diablo 3 and slow as hell diablo 4 and the abilitys in Last epoch are so much fun. Meanwhile Blizzard is just fucking shit up more and more. They really should take some inspiration from last epoch.

People just hate on D4, that’s the real meta. Game for sure needs some work but it’s not as bad as the general consensus is, people suck. They follow the path of main content creators and have their opinions formed for them. Until the main streamers start talking positively about the game and playing it more, nothing will change. You guys are fair – along with wudi and rob and appreciate it. I actually enjoy the gauntlet btw.

Really love your Builds!
And use them as start out places for my own builds (;
Thanks for making my Paragon Build Days much easyer ;D
.
.
Really dont understand why people keep saying “Diablo 4 is Dead”
They are still people playing (;
So it can’t be a dead game ^^
Anyway
Is this not the point of this? For at people can see how good there are and vs others. We need the same map layout… It’s the same thing in every stuff where you see how good you are vs others. So whats wrong with this?????

Only thing that’s is wrong is that it took so long for them to make….

People just want new stuff all the time.

Come on guys it’s not a game where you pay every 30 day… So you can’t expect new stuff all the time…

And yes am playing D4 and I have a fine time with the game.
And if you dont like the game its fine. But really tired of people telling me (everytime I read a commet on a youtube vidoe) how bad D4 is and its a waste of time and so on

Who has the time to level up 6-10 level 21 glyphs per season and then trash and rebuild their builds every week? Not me. My characters are not competitive enough to even get in the top 1000, so gauntlet is pointless for me. You grinders can enjoy though.

I hate timed and limited-time content with passion. Anything that starts a clock and asks me to “hurry up or else…” is toxic by definition.
I’m not playing a game just to get another deadline. I’ve got enough of those at work. Let me play at my own pace, with my preferred build.
By adding such types of content to the game, Blizzard keep promoting playstyle of the “pros”.
If I want to slog through a challenging piece of content with my non-meta druid build for 40 min., let me do so. Don’t punish me for not copying the meta.

👎lol XD
Edit hey man thanks for the meteor build had loads of awesome fun doing that

Its a modern gaming issue. You think our game is shit with no endgame? Let us sell you the solution…dlc pack1! still not happy? Have a look at dlc pack 2…..

I like diablo 4 but I’m a newbie and things still feel fresh to me

“Gauntlet is easy because, It’s not the point.” Why can’t we have challenges both from monsters and scoring? What’s the benefits of making mobs so weak?

I like the gauntlet. I have no problem with it existing as an extra game mode that I can play if I want to. And if I don’t want to play it, then I don’t. *More is better than less.
I see no reason to complain and trash on Diablo 4 just because the extra bonus (and totally free) game mode isn’t for everyone.
IMO people who hate the gauntlet are the same people who will never make the top 1000. 👉 GET GOOD!

There is no real endgame. Just farm Duriel, and now this bullshit… That’s the main problem. They can fix itemization, but there will still be NO ENDGAME!!!!

The game is dog shit, full stop, stop making excuses for this trash ass game

Blizzard can fix this game! But won’t do it without making us pay $$$ for them DLC’s.🎉🎉🎉

Diablo Immortal way better 😂

U guys are awesome… i just hope you keep bringing the best sorc content for D4 and LE. ❤

клоун с накрученными подписчиками, но с мнением, что 3 сезон говно – я согласен

There is no teamplay like in d3 greater rifts. Its too easy and complete boring. Endgame in d3 was so much more fun. In d3 Tiere was a reisen to okay grifts but in this gauntlet there ist no reward to play… Not Glyphs to lvl up , no Set items, no New items just Notting. U run a circle and get Points.. wow spectactular endgame

one small change would have made all the difference. 2 leaderboards. 1 regular board, 1 for people who have uber uniques equipped. that gives the none super grinders a chance and a hope at being near the top.

its time to get some space in my D drive ,

This is what happens when you treat your best employees like shit. They leave and work for your competitors and your future games are worse than the originals because you can only hire bottom of the barrel people 🤷‍♂️

the problem i’ve found is any time a build becomes popular and fun to play it gets nerfed to the ground so we have to fight to make it fun again.. charge build is OP and fun this season and in campfire chat it’s already been hinted that it’s going to be nerfed next season taking away another fun build

Thanks for saying this Josh. I’ve been following you since almost the very release of the game, went through the Big Nerf, all the seasons and to be completely honest, never stopped having fun. I’ve also been playing Diablo games for many many years and I can understand that people expect more as years come and competition between ARPGs arises. But I STILL enjoy and have fun with the very simple game loop of all Diablo games: get into a mosh of monsters and make it explode as fast and visually pleasing as possible. Everything else is extra to me. I enjoyed it in D2 as a Necro with the weirdest builds I could think, in Diablo 3 as Demon Hunter or crazy meteor Wiz and I enjoy it every day with multiple different builds in Diablo 4 with Sorcerer or Druid. But apparently, we are not allowed to enjoy D4.

I‘m going to play Diablo again when (the best) aspects we find are saved in the collection. Then we can finally start making builds whenever we want

Also sorry i didn‘t dislike your last video, but i couldn‘t care less about the gauntlet so i didn‘t watch it😅

Would rather have a challenge rift like d3 where it is a level playing field and no meta.

Id be interested in downloading the game again if lets say they add a dungeon with floors….up to say idk 100 or so and if you die you lose all of your progress. That’s just me though. The games been dead for me pre seasons so don’t listen to my ideas i have not stayed loyal at all

The contention against D4 is not just against D4. It is against Blizzard itself. Yes, D4 has whatever positives it does have. Yes, the game is “better” for having gauntlet than not. But the problem is that Blizzard as a company hasn’t gotten better and hasn’t re-earned the trust that it lost. You’re trying to isolate it as just a D4 problem, when this went back to the “Is this an out of season April Fool’s joke?” Blizzard lost a lot of credibility then, and therefore D4 had no excuse to be released in this early state. The audience was not just looking for an ARPG, they were looking for Blizzard to make it up to them with an epic game. This is a trust issue, and not just a “game” issue.

Look, Last Epoch had some of the most worst problems to occur during launch week. And yet, you will still have a lot of defenders because there is an actual game to defend there. For Last Epoch to have an offline mode, therefore a mode for the people who would appreciate that and could still play, is still a stroke of genius that should be common practice. And it is these kinds of things that allows the audience to keep some kind of faith in Eleven Hour Games.

D4 has had technically four seasons of game, and very little has been approved upon. The audience expects better from D4 and especially Blizzard. It is up to them to prove to the audience that they are up to the task. And until that happens, then the truth is that even if something like gauntlet is a positive, the game and company deserves to receive negatives until the bar of quality is met. Where is that bar? The audience will let them now when they’ve reached it. Which means Blizzard has to go up and beyond where they think the bar is, because if it isn’t more, then it isn’t enough.

So this is my issue with D4: I don’t care anymore. I was already jaded, but after trying LE I realized that why tf should I put myself through the “full inventory of yellows” situation again? No matter the fact that D4 looks technically shiny, besides having a million times better core systems, LE actually looks better to play (everything is not gray etc).

So, for me D4 is basically dead: every time I come back to D4 after LE, it feels jarringly soulless and boring.

Regarding your question at the end of the video: I like to make my own build in games and see how far I get, but I’m so far away from a desire to do that for the gauntlet that after seeing gameplay, I realized it’s just the same shit all over again.

I’m about 99% sure that the itemization rework sucks ass, and does nothing to fix the core issues of the game. It most probably will remove some pointless affixes and that’s it. Loot an item with Weaver’s Will in LE and you realize just how uninspired and boring the loot is in Diablo, and that’s especially one of the reasons why gauntlet was such a hard miss. A pointless arcade minigame, delayed for a month and it’s just an NMD with shrines? Ultimate MEH.

Just let it sink in that they’re about to release a paid dlc for this game and the only permanent content that’s been added so far has been some endgame bosses, that have no purpose besides duriel, and the gauntlet.

They released an unfinished game and have not added nearly enough to justify a paid dlc. They should have pushed the start of seasons back and focused on base game content drops.

Well theory crafting is okay, but your keeping mostly with the same builds, bone spear necro, lighting soec, hammer barb, puncture rogue, and storm druid. There is no real building other than gear changes, maybe paragon

People want “Diablo Bad” content, not “I had fun in Diablo 4” content.

Now, I’m currently playing Last Epoch. I’m having a ton of fun with it. But I’m still holding out hope that the D4 devs get their crap together, launch PTRs *regularly*, not just “when we add a new system”, and actually listen to player feedback, rather than being told what we want and pigeonholed into specs we may or may not necessarily want to play.

Later this month, Horizon Forbidden West comes out on PC, and I’ll be switching off to that for some single player RPG fun times. In that time, I truly hope (and will be listening to dev and campfire chats) the devs come to realize their approach thus far has been pretty terrible, and take meaningful strides towards fixing it. As I’ve said before, I *want* to love Diablo 4, but it really hasn’t been great thus far, so… why waste my time?

To be clear, I wasn’t one of the ones who disliked that other video, and I don’t necessarily want “Diablo bad” content. I thought the other video was well done and the opinions presented well. Unfortunately though, I don’t think we’ll see any real change until the expansion comes out. By then, I feel like it’ll be too late for this group of devs to salvage it. Blizzard, if you’re reading this, maybe try bringing back some of the original Diablo II devs That game was also flawed, but it at least was fun.

Blizzard has always had an obsession with creating multiplayer games that are inherently unfair since World of Warcraft. I believe this to be by design to create a continually evolving FOMO response. I’m just not into that kind of stuff anymore as I aged.

I don’t tend to watch the D4 videos on the channel since I stopped playing back in season 1, but I am curious why folks dislike bombed ya instead of just not watching. Decided to tune into this one out of curiosity and still won’t be playing, but left ya a like for the work you put in and your positivity! Keep up the great work.

Basically Diablo4 is fun up to around lvl80 then you are bored and duriel farming is boring as all hell.

You make great videos , sorry the haters got to you.

Yes season 2 was great but the same people moaning about S3 right now were saying that season 2 sucks back then. S3 is great and allow me to disagree here but it’s the best season yet. And it’s all thanks to the vaults that are a huge step up from the overdesigned Nightmare Dung-eons that seem to try and stop you having fun any chance they get.

Why are you surprised? They let players craft Ubers and they complain. Lower the cost and they complain it’s not enough. They should’ve just included a sort of personal prestige system to grind out and people would’ve had something to keep them busy

Ngl the only way d4 would feel like a good Diablo game is if they make the campaign replayable on different difficulties

My thoughts exactly.
The gaunlet ‘is’ fun to play and dose have its moments,
but its not an “end game worthy” content.
More like a “event-mode’ , ‘spin-off’ content, like URF-mode in League of Legends.
Yes it is fun to play, but not exactly worth competing for.
And it is DEFINETELY not worth all the advertisement and b.s. the devs been hoaxing around for months, especially at Blizcon.

The gauntlet shoud have been like an oasis, a place where you come to relax and enjoy
after you get worn out by massively difficult, massively competitive ranking contents.
And that massively difficult ranking content is what we should have gotten this season.

Everyone is on the “D4 bad” hype train. Instead of people living their lives, they choose to hide in hatred.

The game will get good eventually, and these small changes are small improvements. I agree that the Gaunlet isn’t enough to be called good late game content, but to say that it isn’t an improvement is just toxic behavior.

This was the only season I truly worked on min maxing my druid, for no reason…gauntlet is pointless for us unless you need an ego check by getting a high score. They need bosses and dungeons were you can actually DIE from level 70 onwards 🙄

Diablo 4 is fun to play if you ignore the online hate feedback loop.

Returned to POE in prep for POE2 beta and release later this year, early 2025.
Very complicated and difficult.
Just the challenge I want though

People enjoy things that are fun. LE is mostly positive now, some other recent games have gotten great reviews. Most of us want D4 to be good, and for me S3 did offer some fun, but so far their end game offerings are unpolished and not much fun. Concerning for a game who has such a large team and made so much money 9 month into release. People rightfully expect better.

It’s very simple.

Gauntlet would have been fine if it was part of an actual season providing other actual endgame content so players who aren’t interested have other activities. (like LE launching with monoliths AND dungeons AND arena AND trade factions)

Gauntlet placed in the middle of an endgame spotlight all alone was just destined to be a failure.

(especially in a game that is STILL lacking so much basic ARPG QoL)

See, I think I’m a minority in the player base. Or maybe a very silent majority. But really, the whole drama around D4 bring bad never really affected me because I’m not an ARPG player. I dont take the game seriously at all. I log in for a season, make 1 character, and play them until I get bored and wait for the next season. I haven’t even tried all the classes yet, and my highest level character is level 82. From my perspective, D4 gameplay IS good, like Josh said. As far as the end game, I just haven’t done it. All of my friends who play have relatively similar experiences

Leveled 3 characters then played gauntlet now what? Hard to find a reason to play..

Abatoir of Zir was great. I only got to level 12, but it was a great way to level glyphs to 21

The shear #s of gear affixes make it just too hard to find the stuff you want. We need a LFG option. Pets. Hoarding gear for the aspect has my stash constantly maxed out. Just for starters.

Its crazy to me that people can actually justify praising Blizzard over this. Sure, we can say “lets look at this objectively” but thats like saying “lets look at this without any context”, which is something you cannot do. You cannot tell me that the game is objectively better with the gauntlet in it when:
1) it was delayed (for what reason exactly? It still got bugs and exploits)
2) Bc it was delayed, it got released in the middle of the season after everyone who cared enough to grind already had maxed out gear, rendering the leaderboard push pointless
3) it is buggy as mentioned above
4) you can take buffs like shrines and party buffs into the gauntlet from the overworld
5) its just boring asf to do more than a couple times unless you are one of the 10 people actually trying to reach rank 1. you’re seriously telling me you enjoy doing the 8 min gauntlet 10 times in a row? Nightmare dungeons feel repetitive my dude and this is even worse than that.

You cannot remove the context from the gauntlet. If you still think its good after that then you dont actually care about any of the problems with the game and your opinion probably doesnt matter tbh. We get it. You’re a D4 channel. Sorry your game is garbage.

Season 3, compared to season 2, was a step backwards imho. The “Duriel run game play loop” is tedious and cumbersome, and it has caused me to burnout, because I tend to play the game solo. Blizzard needs to figure out a way to make things a bit less cumbersome for solo players. An example of why this is so, is their latest Malphus dungeon. Gee whiz, if you’re running “the loom” solo, forget it. It’s insanely long unless you’re going in with three other players (yes, it’s easy, but still long for soloing). If this is Blizzards way of getting people to group up, they’re doing it wrong because it feels forced, as is. They do this sort of thing, without adding any tools in game to make it easier to group up with other players who may be interested in doing this content. As is, you have to monitor trade chat? It simply doesn’t make any sense. I do however respect your opinion, and agree that Diablo 4 does feel good when it comes to overall game play. Unfortunately, that just isn’t enough to cover for the other glaring issues that this game has, and “the gauntlet” fixes none of these issues, nor will it keep me logging in until season end. Thanks for the video, it was done well.

It’s because ppl don’t have a life outside of gaming if you don’t play 40hrs a week lol maybe get a job girlfriend hit the gym anything take a shower read you will think the game is ok. You blast threw lvl 100 in a week and just use a meta build of course you won’t have anything to do. 😂

Stop with the beep already

Stopped playing season 3 a long time ago. I don’t care for score-attack games and would never consider Diablo to be one.

Is everyone playing Diablo just waiting for the elden ring dlc to drop or is it just me

Season 3 was dead 2 weeks, maybe a month after release
Is the same as season 2, but instead of vampires, we have a machine
Ultimately not too diferent
We want late game
Not hitting lvl 100 and there’s nothing more to chase after

It’s what happens when you hire people cause of their skin colour, gender and sexual orientation and not their credentials, experience, and expertise.

really cant be fked making a new character and having to lvl 1-100 all over again for s4

Hurf durf D4 bad mindless parrots comment below

Surprised people are still playing this. Was a blast when it first came out. Now to me its so stupid i dont understand why i even bought it. Like a lot of games. Just let it die. Its a money grab game.

The gauntlet itself is not the issue
The issue to me is that the gauntlet us content only for grinders with full uber unique builds.
99% of the player base can’t compete and won’t spend hundreds of hours to do it.
This content is for 1% of people, the remaining 99% are sitting at the same spot as before the update. We need and want things to do past lvl 100
Not duriel mind dumming grind that ultimately has no point
We don’t need full uber unique builds for anything worth our time

Oddball here, I personally have enjoyed S3 more than any other season and a big part of that was due to finding a different path to test out in the gauntlet. A homebrew Necro build (rank 10 on PSN) that I tweaked and changed dozens of times. I wanted to share that with others but the sheer anger of the community has completely turned me off from engaging with it. I’ll keep blasting away and having fun, but I’ll be doing it quietly and unfortunately alone. For what it is it’s great content, but apparently not what people were expecting. While people mindlessly farm Duriel for uber uniques they’ll likely not use, I’ll keep strategizing gauntlet runs. Great vid, I have no idea how blizz can change minds, but at least some of us get enjoyment from the game.

as long as d4 uses a seasonal content model it will be complete trash. Along with every other game that uses the same model.

I’m not gonna lie
If it wasn’t for youtune and content creators, I would’ve quit D4 a long time ago. Probably season 1
But watching creators making videos keeps my interest

Just have s2 team make a D5. D4 is too toxic at this point.

I just switched up to the Shred Wolf today and im having a blast with it. Diablo hasn’t changed much through the years as its always been about going through the questline and hoping that amazing item drops for you. The change I hope to see is less farming for Durial and more random drops in the open world, like previous Diablo games.

If u guys have played overcooked 1 or 2, a playstation game, or cooking fever,
This gauntlet actually felt like it

😠

I thought it’d be impossible for Blizzard to create something more boring & pointless than the Duriel farm…I couldn’t have been more wrong.

I enjoy your videos. The humor is great! When it comes to D4 – I’m having a good time, even though I’m not a leaderboard or gauntlet sort of player.

As to itemization in Season 4 … Blizzard’s idea of meeting a deadline seems suspect. Maybe they’ll nail it. I wouldn’t bet any gold or platinum on it. 😊

100 duriel runs not one uber this season. I qyit and don’t miss it

I mean barb has probably 3 til 5 viable, good, fun builds. What are the options for other classes?
They are lacking and that is the problem with gauntlet. You need to play the sweatiest build with the best ubers to get high rankings. That is fine until some point, but Hollow explained my problem the best:
Why should I care about the horrible rewards? They could even give me a harlequin and I wouldn’t care.
Why should I enter the gauntlet with a non-meta build? It feels noone at blizzard thought about it. It seems like they are thinking that we stupid players will play their game anyway.
But that is blizz problem with their heavy focus on their cash shop.
Seaon 4 is the last chance for me because then I could get my last “free” battlepass.

Gauntlet is just a really boring mode. To me, it’s really just that simple. No extra context needed. Just boring. EDIT: Also needed to add…. the “negativity towards your video” isnt an attack on you. You enjoyed the mode, that’s great to hear. 45ish percent of people who reacted had a different reaction to the mode, they’re allowed to disagree or express their own take on the mode, hence all the thumbs down on the video praising it. Again, not a shot on you, just people expressing their feels one way or the other.

I think you’re exactly right, I think the timing for this was botched and it just landed really poorly overall. It IS a cool function of the game, and they can most likely make a lot of changes each season to spice it up for us. However, it happened way too late in the season paired with how effing crazy the grind is for the Uber uniques REQUIRED to compete well. Like even changing our gear to be gauntlet focused is ridiculous. Finding gear with even 3 outta the 4 stats that are “ideal” just isn’t happening and I can only play a couple hours most days, sometimes more on the weekend.

With how many grind to get XYZ tasks there are in this thing, the seasons either need to be longer so at some point the players who can’t play as often can catch up, or they need to separate Uber unique gear runs from the rest to keep ppl interested. I mean, on top of the like 20 other things that rational players have been asking to be fixed lmfao. They’re so close but also completely missing at the same time. I’m really hoping S4 finally delivers and we can have the gauntlet balanced out somehow so it’s fun for everyone.

Probably 99% of players have no chance of making the gauntlet leader board, so what’s the incentive?

Just waiting for PoE2 to come out and people figure out that it’s a good game but it won’t have a decade of stuff to play through like PoE and they’ll get mad at it as well. I appreciate Last Epoch, PoE and Diablo 4. They made me realize I’m just not as into these games as I was when I was a teenager. Getting a slightly better item to make a number go up isn’t good enough for me anymore.

Why not just bring back AOZ alongside the Gauntlet? That would give more to do for players.

Rip diablo 4

Freeing up 80+gb on my system is looking better and better everyday…

Bro really the last one talking about this game. Good on you man, sticking to what you like.

WHERE THE F ARE MY UBER UNIQUES, BLIZZARD!

Now that sir is how you get people, random fun stuff like that, but I do understand your point of view. This was a good video despite me hoping season 3 was actually ending like tomorrow.

Blizzard lost me with the dark patterns, tbh. I paid $90 for the early access, only to be greeted with a timer that was ticking down to full release, prompting me to buy the more expensive upgrade. Confusing as hell, as my version came with the 3 days. Then, when the season pass button had no confirm and no refunds, I uninstalled and wrote them off. I didn’t dislike your video, but the animosity is about more than the game being bad. I’m jaded. I don’t believe they care about anything but money anymore, and that’s going to be hard to overcome.

Looks like we know which season team (Odd 1,3,5 etc) needs the big spanking.

I mean I like gauntlet-type gameplay. That’s kinda what being a Monster Hunter player is like. But I also know Diablo 4 is no Monster Hunter, and that I have no idea what Diablo 4 is really about. But hey I’d love to help blizzard in any way I can. They just need to hear us. Or something so that way they can find some appeasement with the fans of Diablo

I wish I had a reason to play d4 again. I’ve already uninstalled. S2 was mid, the rest has been a bad experience, and has shown me blizzard is a hollow shell of its former self.

I haven’t even tried it yet

D4 has alot of endgame compared to some other games…the problem is we are comparing d4 to games like POE.

Love your content and builds just didn’t like the gauntlet but still not gonna dislike a video.

and I still dont have genesis or evernight

I was really excited about the ganlute unfortunately I picked a hota build with no charge. Thinking I would need lots of damage seeing since the devs said they were giving us time to gear up. I am not going to keep changing my gear, paragon board, and skills to run a 8 minute dungeon. If I would of known that the ganlute was going to be so easy I would of chose a faster build. If we had loadouts this would not be a problem either.

dang almost 1 to 1….

If the map stays the same to make it a fair competition, then how about uber uniques? Some people run durial 500 times without seeing the items they need, while others get it within 10 tries. That seems just as random as random maps.

I don’t know why I make the argument as everyone I know has moved on from S3 even before the gauntlet dropped. Sigh

I thought the Gauntlet was fun for several runs. I do think it’s a decent addition, but they just need to DO MORE. There are issues. For example: You can’t run NM100 dungeons with your Gauntlet build. And that would be okay IF we could quickly change loadouts (like D3). But we can’t. So you have to commit to running the Gauntlet or doing NM100 dungeons and/or Duriel runs. And to place in the Top 1000 you have to TRULY commit. It’s cool that’s it’s a puzzle and there’s strategy involved (I love that), but you have to use consumables, super min/max your gear, etc – just to get rewards that aren’t EVEN Uber uniques. It isn’t worth it UNLESS this is your thing and you love doing it – and totally cool if it is. Like AOZ the Gauntlet is a good idea, just poorly executed BUT I think the Gauntlet is better than AOZ in what it’s trying to do. I just played AOZ more because it’s more of a test of power vs speed. But D4 has a TON of problems they need to fix and honestly, by season 4, it might be too late. There’s just so MANY other games out already or coming out, they could be too far behind the 8 ball.

im moving on to helldivers 2 till season 4

Half the people don’t think it’s fun, that’s it.

I’m hell diving till season 4. For liberty and managed democracy!!!

The part about theorycrafting, I agree with. I LOVE that aspect of the game. The reliance on shrines and shrine buff duration meta in Gauntlets is honestly really dumb though. It trivializes the theorycrafting part. Your build only matters for the first 15 seconds or so. Once you get the shrine stack going, you could honestly be poorly built and poorly optimized and still be racing through the dungeon at a similar pace to a fully optimized build. I think they should remove the shrines completely and set mobs on a 15 second or so respawn timer. It would force you to move and still require good pathing but also remove the dumb gimmick of shrines. Let us play the game for God’s sake. Not run a shrine simulator.

D4 S3 is done for now until S4 begins. Unfortunately 😔 really sucks at this point are they even trying. Let’s be honest it’s not the devs but the people in charge. The Devs probably do want to go ape shit crazy but the admins don’t.

Already dead game. Grim dawn its much better than this crap

as i said many times, you should abandon this game

LE or riot! 😍😛

This is the first d4 video I’ve watched since helldivers 2 dropped. How bout you just come on over and help spread some managed democracy?

The video was bad and your points were bad. Sorry.

Oh come on stop saying rewards you literally get 1/10 of the 925 gear you get from running a tier 80 vault and takes last time…….total garbage update this game is on life support

Its based off Diablo Immortal i saw when it released just updated graphics & a few other additions but other than that it was created for a Mobile crowd.

How bad was Gauntlet that they needed to delay it for weeks?

I’ve played maybe 5 gauntlets, and don’t have the gear setup for it at the moment on either of my characters, so my scores are meh, so back to grinding other content to try to get better gear for the gauntlet because there is no rewards in gauntlet itself until the end of the week.

i tried gauntlet with my buddy. not sure its for me. i like to play mtg commander that puzzle solving in the deck building. so i get pal

Warframe is the only game you need. It has every type of game in one game. It has unlimited inventory. Has the best shooting and movement in any game.

Heeeeey. Love your videos, keep it up please.

I think Blizzard, and in particular Joe Shelly, is misunderstanding endgame, with lack of activities.
Which is sort of true, but I think what most of us expect, is more activities, that FURTHER progress our character, not just more activities.

We want to reach higher HIGHS while Adam Jackson keeps nerfing us down, lol.

I get why they’re doing it, AND it totally would make sense, if Adam Jackson was working on Diablo III, but, this is Diablo IV and the majority of the feedback is “there is not enough stuff to do, that is meaningful” AKA not enough ways to gain power.

And what we do have, is too easily achievable.

This is crazy, but what took me two or three weeks to achieve in Diablo III, takes me 5 days in Diablo IV.

You talk about the “good and fleshed out gameplay” well, if you enjoy sorting gear and redo the same old content to an end i guess, grz. Meanwhile, this “mmo” as they called it dont even have matchmaker for content.

I honestly feel like seasons are super boring and i leveled 12 level 100´s. Nothing feels new, no new classes, the classes we have more or less feel exacly the same to level every season.

The fans said at preseason that new players just dont get diablo season and that they are fun. Well, they are not fun, there is no way to sugarcoat this.

In honest i think most people in general may level 1 character a season and they cant use that character for the gantlet as they use totally different meta builds. Most people wont level another character just to do gauntlet on it i guess.

The gauntlet is not end game, its just telling you that you need to remake your build or start a new character again to be able to compete, its BS design and you should not encourage it.

doing the same thing for one Uber Items is very stupid every day I have to do the same very stupid thing and for Uber Stones it’s still mega stupid there is a very small chance that you will fall for the Uber crafted system and it is useless and dungeons and there’s no point in playing them, they don’t give anything and all the items are repeated and there’s no guarantee that Uber will give you the item you want and doing the same thing

Haters like to hate. If they hate D4 they should watch content that matches their feelings. And there’s plenty of games out there to play and not even think twice about D4. I love D4 but until Season 4, i’m playing D2R and LE.

doing speed runs on static maps is not for me i guess. I would rather have them return GR in an updated form for D4 but have GR’s essence retained.

The gauntlet buried any interest I had left for season 3. I even level up a gauntlet build before it came out, but it seemed really bland, so I’m done until season 4. I have no drive to play the game right now, none.

Seasonal content from the start all has been short-handed. This new gauntlet is absolutely trash. Diablo is on its last string unfortunately

It needs end game content! Once you level 100 then grind your gear …then what? We need a pvp tier after that? One that you can grind for even better uniques ? Rinse and repeat every 3 months is a lazy game design and it’s killing the game!

As a Druid player, watching this hurt my soul. The speed is unmatched here as well as that atk speed. Beyond stupid how OP some classes are compared to others. While we have to waste an affix into movement speed, this chick just dashes everywhere and basically not stop to cast her spells. From over 1M concurrent players at launch to now barely 200K and it hasn’t even been a full year, yea this game is hemorrhaging and there’s no recovery in sight, sorry to say but this game won’t have the lifespan of D3. D4 expansion pack is gonna be dead on arrival, especially if not free.

i like the game… i do … but that ive done over 50 malph runs as a couch dad… and havent seen a unique stone yet whats the point of it being a season theme if its so long and hard to grind and get one to drop.. its like like its durry who is there every season its pointless… gauntlet.. its a joke of a meme they are stuck still on diablo 3 mentality AoZ now gauntlet its all a greater rift from diablo 3 they just cant literally think of anything new its black window from MCU “this was your play?” come up with something new… you wait just you wait in this games like we will get “evil walks the earth ” from d2 with random Diablo spawns in the over world… mark it here there is one dev out there rolling it around in an empty mind of theirs thinking its a good idea. sure the game can be better but when all ya got is a rewash of something from another game.. its not gonna get enough. if i wanted some thing like GR, id go back to play diablo 3 me im having fun just enjoying the main part of the game. how about they raise the bar on the other classes that will match the power of the barb.. that would be amazing.

almost hit the nail on the head tbh… with me i think last epoch with all the streamers playing the new game is just… echoing…. what they say lol the only thing i kinda disagree with is last epoch end game is the same as diablo just different names and more walking? expect instead of farming ubers you just look up whats your bis item and use a 3rd part web site to tell you what u need to craft it which to me is just boring… like there is no “oh hell yes i worked for this!” kinda moments.

The biggest problem for D4 is Last Epoch.

More stash better rewards !!!

There is definitely an audience for creative build challenges, the problem is when, as you pointed out, there’s minimal reward for solving the puzzle since everyone’s just going to copy the best strategy and crush the leaderboards on the last day. Also there’s a lot of people who don’t like this kind of content so when you postulate it as the solution to your game’s problems that’s gonna be an audience that is already cranky. So for the people who potentially like it it’s half baked and then you add that to the people who were never going to like it and you end up with a pretty bad look. Then the only people who are happy are people like me who never bought the game and love them a car wreck.

I think D4 is only fun the first week or so of each season. the game doesnt need to be super complicated but give us something to do at end game. once you hit lvl 100 the game is boring. i do 2 characters every season to 100 then i get off. Last Epoch has a much better end game and crafting system. but dont get it twisted. i know LE has years of player feedback so i get it but come on Blizzard. all that money and man power

I don’t think the dislikes were because you found enjoyment with the gauntlet, but a sign that many of us just felt left out. The Diablo 4 (Lilith’s team) hyped this new “activity” so much and when tgey finally showed some runs on their last campfire, not even the devs were convinced that the Gauntlet was good, you can read their faces that this is new activity was not good. As a long time Diablo player, the Gauntlet felt like a “fancy” challenge Rigt from D3. I think after Last Epoch was launched, many of us decided to moved on from D4. Anyway, I still love your channel, peace!

I agree totally, D4 still have the best mob killing feel among all the similar games. Looking forward to S4 to blow me away

I agree with what you said here… it’s very true.
I think people are hating Diablo 4 just to hate. They feel validated by saying they hate a game. It makes them feel popular and as if they have a sense of truth to what they are saying. Reminds me of a trauma bond relationship 14:31 … it get nowhere.
Yeah, LE being a bit janky has me not really interested in the game.
I like both games, they are different and don’t play the same. I’ll be honest, I’m so sick of people hating on the game and … they Laken it seem like because they hate the game it gives them authority to say what games are good and great. It’s as if by them hating the game they know how to make a company work and all their ideas are perfect. It’s so annoying. It’s like they get an ego boost out of this. I remember pissong off a lot of people in my clan by genie my asking how Diablo can improve.. all they would say is “by making it better” and I’d tell them how, like be specific … and they could t say anything… Again, it’s like they are entitled (?) and think they have the answers when they can’t specifically say how to fix it.
I think many content creators are burnt out because they play the game to make guide video.. not to play to have fun and group together… I sympathize bit I can’t be fkd to care that they complain because they want to keep an image of being that guide content creator instead of being a content creator that is well rounded… goodness, the amount of times I like watching videos of my fav content creators playing a game having fun and being able to play with them while they are in game is so cool… but yet many choose to keep that image of I’m a guide content creator or a content creator that bchs about the game… that’s so boring and lame… then they get burnt out because all they do is bch about the game and all the reason they get views is because they bch about the game and they get tired of it so then they want the money and make more videos of it and burn out. They not pick at every little thing…
How pathetic to be a content creator that makes money off off that… shows me that they really are not content creators but idiots making a quick bucks.
Look, Diablo 4 fork 🍴 up big time… they did… but to not let that go and see how they take the game…
You know it wouldn’t surprise me if many Diablo partners get dropped… and boy is Diablo going to get even more push back for that… ugh… so pathetic…
I agree, I think Diablo needs content where they base it on tiers to make harder content. I wish their system could recognize what gear I’m wearing to give me the axavt same gear I’m wearing but with higher roles… wish AoZ would come back but with no ToB glif.
Wish they had nightmare dungeons where it had to be a team where specific roles were given so the dungeon could be covered. There is so much good that could be done with this game man…
After them cleaning house, how do they expect the game to bloom? They are doing updates and Qol updates… updates that should have been there since the beginning… of course it’s going to be tedious…

My play style is mid maxing and getting high max roll on gear… maybe that’s why I still play. I like the gauntlet but it is not my play style at all. I think it’s good for the game.
Man, now imagine if these people complaining about D4 played the end game of WoW… they would be bching about that too…
Goodness wish I could be a d4 partner and not make videos… so tired of these d4 partners and content creators sht talking for the smallest of things.
Don’t like d4? Move on… play something else.. no one needs to know you’re leaving the community … and don’t let the door hit you on the way out…

There’s no reward. You could get a cool mount but not even that. So what’s the point

I am a big Diablo fan. But it is obvious that they put all of their creative brain power into cosmetics and how to get you to spend money.

It’s a commentary on how whiny these entitled babies are. Play something else. Watch other videos. Do something you enjoy. It ain’t rocket surgery.

god forbid a man enjoys a blizzard product

After 3 seasons i feel like there’s nothing to play anymore, it was all the same over and over again

I don’t think it’s aimed at you, a lot of us love your content. I think it’s more to do with the few players left playing aren’t really enjoying the game, we just have so much time invested that we feel we need to still play and we’re just going through the motions.

I so wish the game was good. i tried and tried to love the game, but i am just bored as hell.
There are just so many things that are meh in the game.

– I get to upgrade my glyphs, that do little to my progression.
Sure it is a grind, but to little for to much.
switching them, even costs more time.
And how do you level them ?
In a grey dungeon. doing the same few over and over again.
Nothing new, just the same old dungeons, the same that we have been in the whole game already, just to level.
Worse even, because not all dungeons are viable to upgrade glyphs.

– The gauntlet, it is just another grey dungeon.

– They skill system.
I get to chose 1 or 2 skills. If i stray from the path, my build is crap.

And i am not even talking about the stash tabs that after 3 seasons and a preseason are still crap.
Or the itemization that so needs an overhaul, Why is it even so bad to begin with, this is the 4rth itteration of the game, not to mentions all other similar games.
The ladder, it is not even the ladder we wanted, but at least we are getting one. but to me it is just another fail.

Simply:
In my eyes, all they wanted to make was diablo Immorral on mobile. But where forced to make diablo 4.
No experiece from previous games, and if i look at the devs they do not even seem to play diablo 4.
Yes these are the ones that need to make this game good.
I find it no wonder it is the way it is, and expect no better in the future,

Diablo is already unistalled I will look at it next season. So Tata diablo 😂😂😂

Soooo I bought me and my girlfriend diablo 4. She stopped playing in season 3, we both love the game. Using this channels awesome paragon board setups grinding through high 90 vaults bumping glyghs fighting duriels. People began saying dead in emoji I’d say no. I believe the trigger is the fact 💯 no new boss no new anything and in the back space in every regular gamers mind is the number 1 players on these boards of this stale dungeon have 3 uber uniques that they traded in with there 40 other uber uniques in the new trading system for the Casual player😂😂😂😂. I also did not buy the battle pass this season and have deleted the game and have purchased Loards of the fallen until dragons dogma 2 comes out. If the devs can change it around I’d gladly support them but I’m kinda broken about d4 right now.

Love your videos, Josh! My fiancee and I really enjoy them, especially trying your builds. That said, for me, the gauntlet is a waste of time. As a casual gamer there’s no reason for them. Tired of the Duriel grinding in hope of Shako dropping. He’ll, this season, it took til 100 to get a frigging Raiment.

Just bring back set items. This gauntlet sucks

My D4 experience: find a gear try to roll a good stats, finish all my mats gets nothing and log out and switch to last epoch

If a company has none of its original or founded members and employees. It should legally be forced to change its name. Because it’s not the same company and dosent deserve to ride the coat tails of that previous reputation.

The reason your video got so many dislikes is because no one bought D4, a hack and slash action RPG, to solve puzzles or engage in a foot race. The player base wants something Blizzard is unwilling or unable to provide. Any content that claims d4 currently has any redeeming qualities is likely to get ratio’d as a result because that’s not the prevailing opinion among the player base.

To me, the difference between abbatoir of Zyr and the gauntlet is pretty simple: Abbatoir gave a purpose to farming ubers and grinding better gear. Also, the reward was something meaningful, you got rewarded for farming your Ubers and being strong. The problem there was the balancing of the game thats still pretty crappy. But you got a challenge and something meaningful to do. So far, from what we know about the rewards for the gauntlet, you get 925 gear. And unless there are some items/uniques you can’t get otherwise (how about some aspects with guaranteed perfect rolls), you are better off spending the time inside nightmare vaults if it’s gear you are looking for. Also I think it is backwards to gift gear to the player with the best gear/build. In 99/100 cases, they won’t have any use for it and just sell it. Maybe boss mats would be a good reward for ubers? Like, you get 10 varshan sets and 50 living steel? But outside of that… there is simply nothing thats worth the effort in the game right now aside from Ubers maybe, since even most uniques you get so easily and often, you have no real reason to play this mode, should you get them, and so it becomes a mindless gameplay spiral and meaningless if you don’t have fun with the puzzle solving aspect.

Edit: However, I don’t think it would be fair to expect the gauntlet alone to save the game, too. It simply is a feature that should have been there for longer.

Season 1 & 3.

Dev team 1 got to up there season content on S5 it’s still early into the Diablo 4.

Season 2.

Dev team 2 I have high hopes for S4 since S2 brought more enjoyment & content beside all other expectations plus game issues…

It’s just fair to give them time and a new seasonal start even tho WE EXPECT PERFECTION.

it’s what it is as long it gets better than it is from where it is.

The community are bunch of crying kids to be fair..

😅

When I say I’m an older gamer, I mean I clearly remember how amazing it seemed that you could actually control what you saw on your screen when Pong came out. So my perspective is probably very different, and I doubt I’m the demographic the developers had in mind. Diablo IV definitely has problems that are frustrating and seem like they were mostly avoidable from a game design perspective, putting aside the business aspect and the pressure they were no doubt put under to release in a particular window ready or not. Having said that, it seems I generally enjoy the game more than many of the people leaving comments on your videos. It’s interesting how people who enjoy a particular genre can enjoy it in vastly different ways and have very different expectations. I’ve never really understood the obsession over min maxing. People watch content on the most efficient way to get through games as quickly as possible and then complain that there isn’t anything to do. It’s always seemed to me that you’re depriving yourself of a lot of the pleasure of a game when you play it like that. It also becomes less about getting lost in the fantasy of the setting and gameplay and more like a job working on a spreadsheet when it’s just about the raw numbers behind the systems. That’s not to say you’re wrong for playing it the way you like to play it. But I can see how it makes things more difficult for developers. I had fun with the gauntlet, but I never had any expectation of getting a top score. I just wanted to see if I could get a seal of the worthy using an off meta build I put together that was fun to play but would never be able to clear top level content. I had a lot more I was going to say, but I realize this is getting long winded and grandpa should probably be quiet and let the kids play.

Gauntlet is a terrible idea and boring as mess for normies. And where is my ability to swap between setups? That should be a priority.

I gave up just now and gave away everything. I’ve done over 500+ NMDs no ubers, over 100 duriels no ubers, countless helltides an Malphas no ubers…. Gauntlet isn’t about skill its about Ubers an RNG luck. Now ppl are cheating with the shines… Today was my final straw. D4 Bad

There’s just A LOT of hateful, toxic people that hate Blizzard and Diablo 4. It has gotten to the point that they disrespect and try to shame anyone that plays Diablo 4. They call D4 “bad” which is obviously ignorant to describe a game with one word. The bottom line is people are expecting A LOT of change out of D4, but the Devs are taking a very cautious approach as to how much they change.

When i play D3 i like to play multiple classes. I generally start with a DH then a Barb/Wiz/Wd and maybe a Monk. I hit top 100 then move on to a different class and try to see if i can get them all in the top 100 before the season ends.
With D4 i cant stand leveling 1 class let alone all of them

Lol, Season 4 is the make or break!? Just like Season 2 and 3. Soon you’ll be saying the expansion will be the make or break. The game will be good Season 29 like diablo 3

The main point of contention for me, is that alot of the stuff that being added to d4 after the fact (leader boards, gauntlet, etc. Most of it is stuff that’s been in d3 for a while and really should have been in the game from the start. Its like they didn’t plan how they wanted the game to look and feel at the end of it all before they started developing it and now it’s being drip fed to us cause they’re not sure what their endgoal is.

Keep Your head up Brother. I watch Your videos because of Your opinion, constructive criticism and over all great commentary and You never disappoint <3

I enjoy the gameplay I just dont enjoy the rewards. I like cosmetic rewards and the only way to get new gear is paying a rediculous amout of cash for the coolest armour. Thats why Im not really enjoying the game.

I think all the dislikes of that video are unfair to you. I’m not a theorycrafter but I appreciate those who are, so thank you for your hard work. As for the gauntlet… well I haven’t tried it yet. I play with a group of 3 others and half of the group hasn’t enjoyed season 3 at all, and they haven’t reached level 100 yet. I’ve reached level 100 completed the season journey and the battle pass, so at this point with the lack of interest in the group I don’t have much desire to play.
One thing I think that needs a huge improvement is nightmare dungeons. The conscious of the group I’m in is that grab the stone put it in the pedestal is way over used and sucks. It’s like the devs cannot come up with a different idea.

I can see the devs sitting in a meeting room and the meeting leader says “we need an idea for the nightmare dungeons” and some low level dev say “what if we have a stone or something that they have to find and bring it back and put it in a pedestal?” Leader says “we already have that.” then the low level devs say “what if we make them do it twice?” Leader says “Brilliant!” Now we need another idea. Same low level dev says “how about we make them find an object make them bring it back and put it in a pedestal, three times?” The leaser says “your on fire kid I can see you moving up in this company.”
When that dev suggested that the have the player(s) find the thing and put in the pedestal, four times they were promoted to a vice president of development.

It’s mainly because this is a medium that has no enjoyment for me. I don’t care about competition against others. I care about my class being good and fun. Which for me isn’t. Yay gauntlet….necromancer with minions still sucks. I could play something else but i do not have fun on them. The tidbits they gave in the end don’t do anything so i will wait and see, again, for next season. I don’t have much hope they will make it much better before the end of the year, if that.

my two cents. I only play games that are competitive. D4 needed a ladder for me to enjoy it fully. Did I like pushing gr in d3 better than this gauntlet? Yes. But to me, the gauntlet is enough to have me logging in and checking my rank every day, looking up strategies. I love that trail and error. Doing the homework to make you get better. This is the first time I feel like I am not playing a single-player game. I need to see how I measure up or I don’t have fun.

the main problem of D4 for me is that the systems (itemization/crafting/skilling) are just so simple that leveling isn’t fun (why i like last epoch more than any other arpg other than maybe titans quest)…and so you skip the main thing the game does better than any other arpg (the campaign) to rush to a point builds are actually fun to play (about level 70-80). But once there, there’s very little fun content to run. its a great game for casuals who only want to play the campaign and maybe take one character to lvl 100. maybe thats all it was meant to be.

no…..there was minimal fun……..literally the only fun part was the first 2 days…. u r out of touch and dumb AF

D4 POLICE OPEN UP!

I’ve been playing Diablo since the first one was released. I’m holding out that D4 will eventually be there. It’s like people forgot how bad D3 was when it came out. Over time they made it much better. Even D2 came a long way from it’s beginning and now with D2R I continue to play it to this day. Hoping for a D1 resurrection, but that doesn’t look likely at all. I think the biggest problem is Blizzard trying to recreate the arpg genre, bring something new, whereas these other games have taken a lot of the ideas for their games directly from Blizzards previous games. Blizzard is taking risks that if successful, could redefine the arpg genre, while these other companies are playing it safe. They don’t have the money or resources to lose if their game fails. Just my opinion.

I’m just gonna throw this out there. The Diablo players that are constantly bit-chin about how the game is and can NEVER be satisfied…..are the biggest bunch of pu$$ys I’ve ever seen. Jesus Christ you paid $70 for a game that you’ve been able to LITERALLY put hundreds of hours in and you still are just crying your little a$$es off. Gotdamn will you all just leave the game, pay $70 for another game and after the 30 hours spent on that game, come back with a smile on your face? $hit, I’m tired of hearing all your crying. I’ve heard less crying in prison after the lights go out and the guards go to sleep. 😂

Mate. I Love your content specifically. You. Sorc stuff. It was your vids that got me back into season 3…after leaving pre season… You did that. But it lasted 2 weeks… I went from never seeing a Uber.. to one night, dropping 2 shako doing dury with 3 mates.. and funny enough. That ruined it for me. Lol.

D4 is dead. They would need to hit such an enormous home run with double loaded bases to even hit the break even point.. and then that may not even be enough. To put it in perspective, I ran pre preseason with a diablo super fan. He did beta play on d3. He LOVED diablo.. past tense. Preseason 1 we got to tier 4. Then he disappeared. Not unusual as life happens.. what was though was he deleted d4 before season1. A super fan…gone. That’s what they are up against. That kind of anger. He won’t even entertain the idea of looking at the changes as he feels like he was betrayed by the dev team.

Don’t take it personally. Your work is great. I even watch your le vids (and I have a ps5… So. Yeah.. lol) keep up the great work

I’d rather play EverQuest online adventure with dialup on my PS2

Personally, I don’t have a problem with the gauntlet. It’s well made for what it is, it’s just not my cup of tea. I just don’t have the attention span for that sort of thing. LoL we had mud and sticks and tonka trucks when I grew up, not theoretical gameplay or build optimization. 😁

Rage you are out of touch…..literally this game is dog sh*t

repetitive boring slog 80 plus kills not 1 unique stone harder for some to get than a uber what a joke

my necro on seasonal is full garbage in the gauntlet. i can solo high stuff pretty easily but bosses do take time….if they have no adds. adds speed it all up. i’ll have to respec but just for the gauntlet? – one thing that would fix a lot. dual spec.

I respect your opinion and am glad you’re having fun! I just have no faith in this game. I apologized so much for this game and now I have nothing but hatred for it lol also for the record I love solving challenges. I took one look at the gauntlet when it was first mentioned and thought it was trash. Not something I wanna play ever

no D4 is a dead game….stop covering it…..these devs are straight up braindead and Deserve to be fired

Diablo 4 is not better for gauntlet being in, if it took away from the resources needed to implement endgame activities.

I played gauntlet for maybe 30 minutes. I finished settling on my necro build a week or two, prior to gauntlet release. Last time i checked (day 1), i was rank 500-something. I might have considered trying to increase that, if itemization was supportive of trying to change my build… but finding usable gear is too much chore and zero fun. On the same note, i’d like it if diablo 4 was supportive of making multiple characters. Instead, the game is designed to make you either spend hours upon hours trying to find gear that is GOOD ENOUGH or settling for too many affixes that do not support the build i’m trying to fill out.

Season 3 was basically over for me before the end of february.

Also, i would dislike more of your videos if i blamed you for the content you’re talking about. I like and appreciate your videos. I do not like/appreciate blizzard’s minimum effort approach to diablo 4.

You mentioned about the Uber unique grind in past episodes.. if blizzard would really want to help fix things, I believe the best thing they could do would be to get rid of having to have materials to farm duriel. I would farm duriel for hours if you didn’t have to get materials to farm duriel that you get from farming other bosses that you farm from gathering other materials! Just let me farm the f*****g bosses without stupid materials involved. Why can I farm Lilith to my hearts content with no reward but I farm the things to farm the things to farm the guy when it’s meaningful? It’s just a bit much!

You dumb Josh, according to yourself.

Blizzard keeps adding stuff and people keep bitching. It’s so annoying. It’s never enough. Play the fucking game and enjoy it. Or don’t. Jesus Christ gamers are turning into gigantic pussies 🤦🏻‍♂️ Keep up the great work guys.

Tried the Gauntlet and didn’t care for it. I’m a casual and it’s tailor-made for power-grinders. I’m not gonna bitch about THAT. To each their own. Once I get a character to 100 (and finish the Season Pass crap), MY fun for the rest of a season is to find new “insane” builds and test their insanity out for myself. MY biggest problem with the Gauntlet now is that all I’m finding are “Gauntlet builds”….
Don’t care.
Just bring me back those sweet “push-once-and-make-everything-explode” builds.

Well you can only play one of these live service games at a time cant you, I’m playing Helldivers now so I’ve had my fill of Diablo 4 after 400 hours or so.

We want Last Epoch on console PLEASE !

Love your channel, it’s the game not you guys.

There is nothing good about D4S3.

You guys are literally brainwashed with blizzard hate not a damn Diablo game was a good game at start. Last epoch sucks too, Diablo will be better in months

Played it once and was over it. Too many good games to play before next season

I ready to move on to Dragon’s Dogma 2.

This is because of DEI initiatives and hiring based of sex and race! Blizzard is going hardcore with DEI and it’s showing bad. This is def a game that has been designed by a bunch of ppl that have no experience in ARPG’s and prob don’t play RPG’s in general… if they do they are super casual. So the Diablo team is like 2/3 of casual gamers that have no clue about ARPG’s and was only hired because of DEI and to check a box.

The potential is not there…..all these devs are dumb AF wake up

No mode like this will ever be fun or competitive when you got streamers playing this all day long,I’m just waiting for DD2.

d4 sucks……r u braindead

Diablo 4 is a very weird game atm. I really want to play it and have fun playing it. I log into the game every other day, see that none of my friends is playing, think about what to do and just close the game again. I could run dungeons but what’s the point? My gear is already good enough to run t100 easily. I could farm duriel. But I’m only missing the grandfather and what do I need to be stronger for anyways? I could start a new character. But it would be weaker than my barb anyway and would hit the same issue of nothing to do as well in a couple of days. The gauntlet was fun for the 3 runs I did but why should I do it again? There is nothing to get and fighting these low enemies isn’t really exiting either.

I can’t even finish lvling my second toon this season, because of how awful it is! I started playing dying light 2 again lmfao!

I think I had the most fun in D4 going through the campaign for the first time. Everything after that….well… Blizzard isn’t getting money from me again.

Has blizzard actually said season 4 is made by same team as 2? I know it make sense and we all assume that but I’m not sure it is

killing a dead game… blizz is doing the impossible

Last Epoch is extremely fun, the skills can be tuned to your liking and the forging is easy once you get the hang of it.

Grafica e animazioni che non sono solo informative ma anche visivamente sbalorditive.🍓

I’m just waiting for Season 4, I’m playing Last Epoch until S4 arrives

the last time i was this early, i was still too late
