I wish there was a good working concept for a conduit shrine… Oh wait, there is in Diablo 3…

This vid show me only 1 thing, that not only do the devs not even begin to understand what is the problem of d4 but even the players themselfs also dont, this game will never be good.

okay i might return for the berserk skins

If using boss mats is now mandatory I hope they increase mythic and ancestral drop rates. Its ridiculous sometimes.

Moved on to LE and not looking back. None of this sounds interesting. Plus you’ll have to farm even longer for specialized loot for your build. Since they didn’t release the percentage increase to boss loot drops.

Uber boss chest keys, coming to a micro transaction near you.

are we still pay locked out of crafting mechs and zones?

Where’s my paladin class?

This game is doomed. Nothing in the design feels good. Its a chore to play.

Netbuilds are the problem… unless you spec exactly like moba lyrics etc s tier builds. You can’t create your own fun build that seems cool t1-t2 but asap t3-t4 just no other option than respec into some s s-tier build you grown sick n tired of seeing everywhere from other players…and also now one shot everything without any meaning… that’s the reason I personally won’t enjoy playing anymore. Too old for repetitive sh*t

Not hyped one bit

they should have like 3 different random fighting animation on boss fights so no one know at any given fight that its just same old routine memory.. this makes the fight more challenging each time..

This d4 patch will kill GTA6.

It’s not Diablo until we fight Diablo! Also, bring me my shield bearers!

That thumbnail pic 😂 dawg what are we doing.

Thanks for the quick breakdown! Feeling much better about season 8.

My only issue is them basically tripling the price of the battlepass and simply disguising the blatant wringing out more money into these ‘new’ reliquaries

One more content without any good new content, or new builds or anything new really… just recycled content.

D4? do People still play that game?

@rhykker please tell them to fix mutilator plates unique effect before season 8 drops. cause its been busted for like 3 seasons!

I’m all out. Tired of wasting time perfecting a build just to have it nerfed. Not everyone can play 8 hours a day to roll with the punches devs throw at players.

I think they havnt thought through the collab with Berserk. Skullknight and Guts is fine but putting in Griffith armour who is an atrocity committing r**ist of Casca is bad move. Should have done Skillknight, Guts and Casca who literally the nexus point of the entire story and band of hawk pre eclipse or Guts new party after the hawk.

I feel like my death trap rogue got nerrrrrfed

This is all so you can run pits over and over lmaooooo

Eventually!! I am so happy because those conduit shrines sucked!

Annnnnnd my bone spear lidless wall necro is still power crept 🤦‍♂️ ffs

u still play this trash game?

Too many freeloaders, keys is a good change

no more free farm parties for bums lol RMT prices about to sky rocket.

Fuck this game

Wish I could be excited about this. Seems like they are doing more and more to make it so it’s more difficult to play with friends.

Thanks for the review. Love watching your twitch stream.

I wish they would offer cooler cosmetics for the hours spent watching a streamer on twitch, something that is unique and that stands out on your character in open world. Not any of this plain jane crap that doesn’t illuminate

They should have been super reactive to over powered stuff every season. Absolute dunce cap wearers for letting season 6 go as it was for the whole season.

so lame….removing a shrine really? this was a clickbait

Great game!

Why am I the only one who has been trying to force continuation of D2R regardless of any story line issues between 2 and 3. Their shouldn’t need to be any just make more items and characters and expansions and they would literally save themselves from all this well deserved criticism.

I feel like rhykker is sponsored by Diablo you can just say don’t come back to this game for another 2 years then it might be fun

yes god forbid if the game is fun.

All seems desperation to change the mechs. How long has this game been failing to give good game play?

Unless they change how the gear works, I am no coming back…I absolutely hate the gearing system in D4.

THNX GOD WE HAVE EXPEDITION 33.. this game is pathetic and i m not even hating

So no love to/for Minions it seems…SIGH…THIS GAME!!!!

Removing conduit shrines isn’t a win. Conduit shrines allowed you to push through difficult parts of the pit. Conduit shrines were optional, nobody was forcing you to use them. They were fun. Bad take.

Key changes mean i can’t power level friends

I preordered the game but sold it after the first season, it just isn’t much fun. I keep watching videos about it hoping that somehow they have brought back the enjoyment that was there in the previous games but so far nothing.

I hear a lot of negative feedback but I still have hopes they figure out what D4 is supposed to be eventually, maybe by the time D5 releases

THe seasonal journals requiring T4 is another step back in blizzard Lies. “All things can be done on T1” they said. And they think only 10% will make it to T4. So only 10% of the people playing should be able to finish and get all the rewards? so why should the other 90% play this game?

I just feel that the game just has way to much jeapordy ..Every step of making your build has to much jeapordy . Getting a decent item . You then have to go through the process of tempering which is very hit and miss . Bricked so many items in season 7 . If you get through that then enchanting can often be a nightmare . Then when you get to masterworking. Thats horrendous . In season 7 i just rough masterworked everyting ..The min max masterworking just doesnt work for me . . I think the drop rates were really bad in season 7 . Gambling obols generally is a complete waste of time . Im close to quitting the game as had enough of it all . Have played since launch . Its areal shame as i do love playing Diablo . Im going to give season 8 a try with an open mind but if there is no improvement im out

Wait now we have S Triple Plus builds?
Ill stick with POE and thats not even in a great state right now but its good enough to keep me from returning to Diablo.
Just nothing exciting after all this time

I like watching your hand gestures through the vid

Blizzard had a good run but it’s pretty much over … Now they are just garbage Activision in a cheap Temu Blizzard costume… thanks for the memories, I guess every good thing comes to an end

Noooo. I was happy that T4 was on par with pit 76… now it will remain as brain dead as the rest of none pit content.

Big W !!!

im done with d4 now, they dont care for the casual player at all. ive played it from the early access and just over blizz and there bullshit

by IT i’m going to assume temper limits?

I’ve played d4 every season.. this season, eh, I’m still having fun in LE, so I’ll pass

30💵 Battle pass, I’m out.

Is anyone still actually playing this game lol?

I haven’t played since season 5

The game is horrifically boring

Diablo was the last chance I gave Blizzard, and as expected, they disappointed me. The game still struggles to offer solid content after all this time. In the end, it feels like Diablo III with different visuals.

Boring. None of these changes excites me. You only tune if you have a proper endgame. 8 seasons in and the game doesn’t even have a satisfying endgame and they are so eager to tune stuff. What’s the point if players don’t even feel good playing D4?

conduit shrine should infuse you with lightning and every skill you cast will trigger electric arcs at nearby enemies chaining up to 5 times….
this should not only feel good but also make you feel like Zeus for 15 seconds…..
they should really hire me as a creative director

I am most excited about prices increasing…

I’m sure after 7 terrible seasons that 8 will fix it all 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’m done with this game. The only real enjoyment was the first 50 levels on release (end of campaign). that’s when balance felt good. they didn’t plan an endgame and just adjusted everything based on feedback, they didn’t give d4 an identity so now they’re just servants to the community. can’t even fix a shrine so they delete it

This is cool but I really wish that some mention would be made by YouTubers about how these changes will effect the Eternal Realm, too.

how come d4 is already 2yrs old and yet poe2 with the latest update has more to offer than this? wow we can finally fight belial? bs

But will hurricane still say it does 500% damage but tick for 29 damage?

Sounds like a good campfire.

d 4 b a d

people are still playing D4 ?

The torment levels just aren’t going to achieve what they want they way that they want it. We saw the issue in D3, hence why we ended up with 16 torment lvls, that builds got stronger and the mobs didn’t. They can make it more difficult but that’s not going to stop the majority of thinking like that if they’re not in T4 then there’s no point to be playing whatever build they’re playing. I know that every season so far that if I decide to make an off the cuff build but can’t achieve T4 then I just abandon it. I know I’m in the minority of the playtime I’m able to put in so it’s a lot easier for me, and faster at that, to get to the end game even with alts. Kind of the luxury I have to be able to play while I’m at work. I typically only spend the first month of a season playing and then come back at the start of the next season. Within that month though, I’ve usually made at least 12 different characters and at least 3 of them of completely built and maxed out. Back on track, there really is nothing they can do to balance the difficulty in the way they want. Only solution I can think of is to basically make the difficulty that they want the game to be, make that T4, and scale it down from there. Then they would need to completely ditch reward scaling and just make it the same across all torment levels. That alone is the only way to make it so no one feels like they NEED to be in T4. Sure that would make it so no one would feel a need to go past T1 except for a select few that just want to the kind of damage their build is actually doing. It’s the same issue they have with leveling progression. Do they make it fast so people that only play for a few hours on the weekends can get to endgame faster or do they slow it way down so those like me that already have the battle pass done, season journey done, and well into the endgame by the end of the first week actually have to put some effort in to get there.

As for changes I want to see, there really is only one. We need a rouge-like dungeon/arena like the infernal hordes that is endless until failure. We would have infinite waves and “power ups” we could choose from every 5 waves or so and it would slowly increase in difficulty. Say about 1 pit tier level every 1-3 waves. They could easily tune it to skip waves at the start depending on the damage you do and how quickly you’re clearing them. Then with that they could easily bring back leaderboards. Also choose your starting wave depending on torment level and based on previous attempts. There have been a few games that have done this but recently just starting Last Epoch I find the endless arena to be a very balanced endgame activity. Definitely need a way to get more keys faster but I’ve only got about 30 hours in it so far and that will only go up until D4 S8 starts.

With all the amazing arpgs out right now, diablo 4 is going to need a damn miracle, and I hope one day it happens caz I love the franchise, but they still haven’t figured out end game yet.

when is the game going to look like a AAA production though ?

Reading these comments, is the D4 community just all the fans shitting on the game?? Jesus guys relax

Wish i could say i cared tbh

Yay season 8 is go play anything else mate ! 🤌

nice , gonna try Huricane druid this season , hoping I can push t100+ pit

Its so tragic that the best thing in the campfire chat was the removal instead of fixing conduit. WTF just fix it. Not like they didnt have much notice. WHERE is the loot filter that this game needs.

As a casual player, in season 7 I lost interest before hitting paragon 200. Not sure that I’m excited about anything I hear thus far for Season 8…

The endgame content is still the same. Why not bring you guys in to brainstorm some ideas and actually put something together?

hey Rhykker, I was playing a game as you just now.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Hold up, they are “nerfing” bosses by forcing you to use mats? Are they are “buffing” mat drops? Sounds like a straight up buff to me… It’s not a team game, and it has zero clan content, so I play this shit solo. I’m not begging ppl for carries. As it is, I thought that boss mats were frequent enough, now they are going to drop more frequently? I’m just going to have 2 stash tabs of just boss mats….

I hate the entire direction they are going with bosses too… its not exciting for the only boss interaction to be item farming. They should have great loot tables, but they should be organized in a progression system to help lvl 1-60 feel fun. In fact, change the leveling system back to 1-100 and actually make progression fun.

Every step they take is in the wrong direction. It’ll be years before they have a game that actually feels “ready for launch”.

YEAH IM EXCITED OBLIVION REMASTERED FTW

#buffdokrogues NAOW !!!!

Man fuck cosmetics give me gear dam I have no use for cosmetics should give us a choice to choose gear or comsetics.

I know they’re against adding more torment levels. But if they’re talking about aspirational content I think adding another difficulty level to reflect what they want that to be would be warranted. They should cut at least the lowest difficulty if not the lowest two. I get the impression that most, if not all, of the player base doesn’t play the lowest difficulty anyway.

d4 is in a horrible state. EVERY SEASON the top performing builds are based on and revolve around BUGS. Broken things not working as intended allowing double and tripple dips every……single…..season. This ruins all balance and in turn all the fun.

I’m about as ‘hyped’ for D4 as I am watching butter melt on toast.

Season 9 will be another underwhelming season with no real changes or risks into anything new. it’s why D4 sucks compared to every other ARPG.

Can we just fucking stop doing resets every season? I’m so fucking tired of leveling EVERY couple months

hmm i see maybe worth getting a battle pass hmm ill decide in season 8 ^^. thought about playing barb .. but saw spiritborn with kind of WW ( or dru from diablo 2 ele ) soo going to play that instead :D.
still waiting for DLC from Grim dawn xD

Sounds like shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic

New class, I’ll come back and make one to Paragon 250 and quit. No new class….I’ll be playing LE 😉

Can’t even be arsed to play D4 this season, Poe 2 and Last epoch are just so far ahead in just about every metric for me. Last epoch in 1.2 is just eveything that D4 should been, D4 just feels more and more like a cash grab rather than something worth investing any time into.

the game is still MEGA bad

This season sounds like it’s going to be horrible

Ryker know his shit, I hope I get to where you are, sir, trying to become a full-time content creator myself

Still not even close to where PoE 1 was, sadly. I’ll stick to washed up Diablo 3 seasons for now lol.

I’m interested in what they,re bringing or d4 that is NOT seasonal…..not everyone wants to play the seasons

Wait wasn’t the conduit shrine the one where you turned into a lighting orb and pretty much one shot things? How is removing that a good thing?

🥱

Is d4 still worth after not playing for few seasons

The new season pass is scummy as fuck. The old one was fine playing cassualy it took you 2-3 weeks of playibg for 1-2 hours a day to beat.

its amazing how the most awsome thing in s8 by a mile is removing conduit

I’m sticking with poe2 for a while. Living steel and malignant heart, I just can’t do it anymore, it’s a lame system. Changing the color of the helltide every season, this is lazy at the highest levels. Have fun everyone.

Sounds boring. Pass

i love it when they hold back all the cool cosmetics from the full price game to have us pay for them later.

fuck d4, to many blown chances

I don’t think the 10% still stands, they announced that before they decided to scale back torment 4 difficulty. I could be wrong but that’s my guess.

Boycotting Microsoft because of the genocide. I’m fucking pissed because I love diablo and want to play it but i cant do it without feeling like shit because Microsoft is skynet helping slaughter children in Palestine. Hope i can play again whenever Microsoft decides to stop being pro-child murder.

So is D4 worth getting at this point? I played during the open beta weekend and was very turned off by all the different currency mechanics. Has it actually gotten better?

I’m guilty of using other people’s keys to battle bosses.

I CAN NOT WAIT for season 8! I’m stoked!

audio issue was way too low? did we watch the same campfire? They had sooo many peaking issues. Sure it’s a AAA company, but apparently they can’t afford a decent microphone?

I’m a bit more casual than the hardcore crowd, but i view everyone having to use their own keys as a massive L. The funnest part of the game is running hard bosses with friends, and now, depending on how many keys they have, those friends might not get rewards at all? awful change

instead of conduit, should be reworked to power surge shrines, giving all attacks 50% increased damage in the form of added lightning to your attacks (effects companions too). hitting enemies spawns small lightning strikes that seek and hit enemies for its own amount of damage.

Edit: I think if they are gonna want harder content, it shouldn’t be locked behind season journey. give it its own reward system that isn’t tied behind beating your season. or just simply make it harder and fun because people generally like that.

I played WoW long enough to know when Blizzard asks the community for their opinion it’s because internally they have absolutely no cohesive strategy. So I fully agree, they need to figure out what their design strategy actually is cause my only opinion right now is they need to pick a lane and stop changing design pillars season over season.

Personally I think if their employees never put forth the concept to the player base no one would even be talking about it. But because they publicized it and seemingly made it a core pillar of their design they need to adhere to it. And locking items you advertise as a reason to buy the season behind a thing you only expect 10% of people to do is greedy and disrespectful to the consumer imo.

Actually I’m looking forward the most to Season 10 finally some Infernal Hordes improvements. That’s going to be amazing and I also hope that future seasons add more permanent features to the game. One other point I would like to see is some small event chance in NMD for old season happening so f.e. that Bloodseekers or Headless Husk can appear. And that they focus more on seasons and less on Expansions. In my opionion a live service game like DIV, that most new content and story is developed and later locked behind an Expansion is bad. Cause it costs you a lot of money, player retention goes down cause you don’t have much to add in seasons and you allways have to rebalance, make sure bugfixes are in the expansion based on seasonal feedback/input. So for me expansion should only focus on new Story and Lore, everything else should come via seasons, so we can get more constantly new classes, new skills, new content. Therefore they coud introduce supporter Packs per season for whales and increase the prices of their Battle Pass a little.

Still making changes that should had been done 2 yrs ago in beta testing

2025 probably the last year I’ll play a diablo game.

The potential issue I have with the reliquaries is that it seems, from what they’ve show so far, that players who don’t pay extra are getting less than they used to. The current battlepass system feels like it has 1 new cosmetic for all (or at least most) equipment, as well as a full armor set, while premium unlocks additional weapon and armor skins, as well as often a mount and associated armor. The free reliquary, on the other hand, has only 35 favor worth of stuff, that doesn’t include a full armor set. It feels like there’s overall fewer freebies, but then you can now get platinum as a free player which maybe offsets it over time. Overall, my opinion of them is is somewhere between “meh” and “not a fan”.

As for the whole “T4 is aspirational”, it still seems like they’re struggling with finding a middle ground between hardcore and more casual players. They don’t want to have too much content that’s “you must be this good to unlock” because they don’t want too many people to bounce off under the impression of “I’m being told ‘get gud or GTFO'” and doing the later, while at the same time providing something for the more hardcore gamer to brag about and feel like a mark of accomplishment, and apparently the pit tiers don’t seem to be enough from implication.

Thanks, @Rhykker. Your videos are always informative.
IMO, if T4 is supposed to be, and become, an aspirational goal, then the seasonal journey should NOT have T4 goals.
I’m not saying that SJ goals should not take work and grinding, but if only 10% of players make it, then what is the point of SJ for casuals?
If they want to have a bonus goal and reward, then that might appease both casual and sweats.
Keep up the great videos.

a pathetic lazy season is coming!!

I like the idea of torment 4 being difficult to get into to. I’ve been playing Diablo since the original. Diablo 2, beautiful game that it was, made it to where to be able to thrive in Hell difficulty, you really had to do some homework on what you wanted to do with your character. and even still, chances were you’d come across something that would send you home to pack up and leave the game just to make a new one and hope to God that you didn’t see another immune to physical, immune to magic elite monster again.

Cant wait for no rest for the wicked update!!

I might try D4 again just to see what’s been added since the expansion season. I’m still playing POE2 so I don’t expect D4 to really capture my attention beyond just doing some leveling and looking at the mechanics.

They need to incorporate a revolutionary pvp system that holds up to all the big online games.

Xbox players get screwed with LE not being available. Would be nice to actually get to try it out instead of watching videos of PC players talking about how great it is.

All i heard was barbarian nerf. dammit, such garbage move

As long as this game has itemization that adds x000% to whatever skill, this game will suck. It’s the same issue d3 had. It limits builds and build diversity, because all your gear is set in stone, there is no wiggle room with anything.

Honestly every time I try a new season, I feel like this is a mobile game, with almost zero depth.

Not sure I’ll be bothered to jump in to Season 8 at all on a work night with ‘No Rest…’ the next day. In the UK it’s heading to a long weekend (Monday holiday) and I’m pretty sure I’ll be giving that to NRftW.

D4. Perfect example of a mixture between MMO and Games as a Service design philosophy.

I dont get why people have problems with druid early i never have any issues with my druids. I have run druids every season.

I really want seasonal rebirth, pretty sick and tired of having to delete toons to play seasons. Also i want breaks between seasons this back to back is annoying

Removed what?

I think they should get rid of the “find this aspect in this dungeon””, just either let people keep their codex on season clear or make all of them random drops throughout the world. Much better.

Sure top 10% will get end reward, and me with my fun build will not get there and go on Meta for that no thanks f.. that 😅 I’ll skip that season.

You get a dislike from me for the clickbait title. Would of subbed as well, whole video was good and all ruined by the clickbait title for a removed shrine.

Regarding how important it is to nerf a crazy build quickly. Why does it matter, why even nerd (like the spirit born)? This is not a competitive game like Cod. I say let people enjoy their builds until the next season.

I’m legally blind and just assumed I wouldn’t be able to play diablo, but it has very good accesabilty features. This was my first season playing, I went with necro and was planning on trying barbarian next season, so good to know about the change!

Wow team would do a better job make pvp viable and fuck pve is better in wow than d4

Damn. Game came out almost three years ago, bought it Day 1 and have yet to finish the main story.

12:23 bruh, we sorc mains always had ULTRA-fast & immediate NERFS. 😂😂

One shot’ing barbs: Devs: yawn.
Necros running around with superfast recharging ULTIMATE(!!!) skill: Devs: yawn.
Sorc has a kinda broken but still weaker than all top tier builds: Devs: NERF NERF NERF ALERT ALERT NERF NERF NERF

Just the same shyt different point of view

Having to use keys for boss loot is a great change imo. It really sucks feeling like if you run a boss solo then you are missing out on group rotations where you’d get much more loot. So you were basically pressured to save them up and run a lot in a party of 4 if you wanted to be efficient. Sometimes I just want to farm solo and not have to try and find groups. Now you just run whatever you get whenever you want but if you need help from a group then you can still try to find one. I think this is definitely a big W.

last epoch is just brilliant , sombody still playing diablo 😀

Big D1, D2,D3 fan here and trying to say this as nice as possible. Does anyone really play D4 anymore? Of course there are some players however, with POE1, POE2, and LE… Those games are just on another level.

Never played LE before and now playing the new season. Wow… This is exactly how I wish D4 was. LE is better than D4 and honestly its not even close.

I think PoE2 will eventually pull ahead however D4 is just miles behind and ironically they started the whole ARPG genre.

The cope of people to wait for eight fucking seasons for a game to get slightly better

I love Diablo, sadly it died after 2. Move on.

Maybe they can add Diablo into the game sometime

I’m excited for season 8 now

Why is there still no ranking system like greater rifts in d3. theres no goal imo in the game.

“Season of No More Conduit Shrine”

Hopefully we will not have to kill a boss 250 times or more to get an upgrade.

Still shyte d4 bad d4 dogsht #staysuninstalled

I will be happily crafting up gear on Last Epoch.

Why are we celebrating bare minimum 1 hour changes to the point that it makes the thumbnail. Somebody please hold Bliz accountable

Still no auction house… tempering is still terrible. Masterworking still a chore.

If removing content from the game makes players happy, then game content is s**t.
Sorry D4 devs, but you failed.

Damn. Season 8 and the game is still bad. Where are the people who said on release “Oh BuT PaTh Of ExIlE WaSnT GoOd At ThE BeGiNnInG. GiVe It TiMe”.
And Last Epoch is getting W’s after W’s.

In S7 I did the necro blood wave and it was really fun. I’ll check on Monday night to see what class builds are looking the most fun/non-sweaty.

I started back with D3. It just feels right after D4

You won’t find a guy who will put a more positive spin on a patch. I’m not saying that’s bad one way or the other, but if this guy can’t make it sound like anything other than busywork, I’m out.

I was SOOOOO hoping you were going to say they removed the tempering charges. IMO this is the worst part of the game. Getting new gear is only fun if I’ve gotten past the tempering gate keeper and I have to be okay with whatever low rolls I get because if I roll again it could be a property that is completely useless and I’ve bricked the item. And the re-roll scrolls only work once. I have no idea how it’s supposed to be fun.

Last season I said I was finally done with Diablo 4 because I’m tired of the op yo-yo. Every season there’s builds that you must play and there’s builds that you can’t play. Then they nerf the great ones and put something else in its place, All the while never changing anything substantial in the content. I may come back and take a look at it but the odds are good I still don’t care. I had a great time with this game for about 500 hours so I definitely got my money out of it. After that it’s just been a slog and a disappointment with a bunch of live service bullshit.

rather play with dog shit
Rhykker you must get some money from Blizzard
how can you even support this company there shit

It feels more like they’re throwing handfuls of darts at a board and hoping one sticks.
Season 7 felt like a mobile game, season 8 looks like a plundering of other aRPG’s. The train simulators are making all the stops! 😂

I’m happy I started poe2

No fun,.no game. Shape up d4

I can’t believe people still play this game

I feel like this game has no vision.

TLDW: Conduit shrines are being removed.

I wish for the seasonal powers they can have them as modifiers to all your skills or weapons & Armor

no hype here

No matter what d4 does, I won’t buy the first xpac. The game still didn’t feel complete before it, and I won’t pay twice for an unfinished game… the onpy way they could get ke hack is if the next xpac is good (paladin) and it comes with the first xpac for free (it wont).

*sigh*
fucking blizz
They hit and miss all at once.
Guess ill be there for season 8

As long as they don’t lock rewards behind torment 4 like the last season. I am happy

I hate this collabs, at least in this game.

Here’s the thing I dislike: having to re-learn a game that I casually play every season…

Nice Rhykker. I like what you do now for some time. Arpg newsflash 😁 I like it a lot. Keep it up. Really nice how you found your way. Sometimes I even think, when new vid ? what’s going on in arpg world? And than there you are again with a great report of last arpg news

8 seasons in and still no diablo in a diablo game :/ i still come back for a week or two every season but it’s getting old

Since I have no faith in the creativity of the development team… There’s two really simple solutions to conduit shrines; last epoch has a shrine that puts a floating Phoenix above your head and just constantly does it affect while you can move around and use all of your abilities… So they could do something exactly like that, or they can just make conduit train exactly like they are in Diablo three… just have a demonic looking lightning beast hover above our heads, throwing lightning down at everything while we run around using our powers… Boom, solved!

Diablo devs on this stream.
– hey guys we don’t want to be here, so take these some BS power, we gonna make the game more easier, cut some bullshit and we’ll get back to play poe2/LE to see what is good and just ignore it, leave us alone. Ohh, please buy some $20 bucks skins, is beserk guys!!!!.

until now, D4 + 1st exp still isn’t worth the full price that i paid for. poe2 on the other hand already surpass at a fraction of the cost.

I saw that edit at 9:09

I still don’t see the point of this new season. I will try it, but what’s the point of the whole boss powers and world content to level those powers if you only fight lair bosses at endgame? Am I missing something? What do we do, until then?! Previous seasons content were available (and meaningful) from level 1.

D4 Devs seem like people who have never played D2 a hundred times and won’t spend the time to do it.
It’s like chefs who never tasted the separate ingredients of their dishes individually. It’s like home cooks who change too many variables at once and then wonder why it doesn’t coalesce into a profound and tasty dish. It’s evidenced by the hit or miss nature D4 has gone through.

I’m not one to complain because it does nothing but quality feed back is important. I’m happy there making changes. I want to see more viable builds at least have a couple s tier builds per class so I dont feel forced to place a certain build. new difficulty will be nice. often found myself bored around paragon 200 because nothing was challenging and I’m a casual player.

Ashes in season journey is not great, now I have to do specific bullshit to access them instead of just killing stuff…

Its good that Rhyker still remind me, why i never gonna play this game again 😂.

Hey come play our new and innovative “purple helltide that’s totally not helltide”

I did not play D4 since October. I do not intend to ever play D4 again.
Why am I still watching Rhykker talking about D4? ❤

I wish i could smash all these arpgs together to make one full game.

It should be mandatory to state when a video is paid for. While season 8 is by no means the worst, it doesn’t bring anything new to the table. It’s hard to understand the level of enthusiasm and happiness that most YouTubers covering Diablo used in their thumbnails for a season that does little more than remove a broken mechanic. What people will do for money!

Lol they are still having these stupid campfires. They have no idea that their game is dead.🤣🤣🤣

they could come back with diablo4 because poe2 the “diablokiller” is just in a really really bad state atm.
but its blizzard there unable to do anyhting meaningfull, i mean is it that hard to put somehting like a lootfilter in the game ?
its crazy how incompetent they are.

This season sounds like it’s going to be a lot of fun. Time to finish up season 7 battlepass and get my inventory cleaned out again.

Got it. Another D4 season to skip.

Legit forgot this game existed

Rhykker is a Blizzard employee.

D4 feels like a waste of time for everyone involved

Rhykker, thanks for your vidoes, I’m watching them for quite some time now, probably years. But when you say something big and important like this “they finally removed it” can U please cut to the chase, I”m not KEEN TO WATCH UR WHOLE VIDEO, I’M ONLY HERE TO KNOW, ABOUT THIS EXPLOSION OF INFO. PLEASE, tell me in the beginningof the video, what they have removed…. Thank you…. Fuck this intrigue. (I still don’t know what they removed). Tell us in the beginning please in few short sentences WHAT THEY HAVE REMOVED, THANK YOU !

Idk i will start again and Look what they Made and how IT feels but i thought that IT they dont understand what they change. Whats the Point ? Make IT Harder to reach t4 ? By what? Make the enemys Hit Harder and have more Life ? Wow .. the need to Change the itemisation and crafting.. so that everyone could reach the endgame with enoth effort

Im a player that never gets that super late game Journey stuff. I just dont care to grind out Paragon or Glyphs. Doing the same thing over and over is so boring to me. I need progression. Once all my skills are unlocked, once my build is finished with gear, I’m done. When the only thing left is stat increases, or one piece of super rare gear that only slightly changes your build (even if its a big buff), that’s when I stop. Bigger damage numbers is not progression to me. I want things to look forward to, new skills, new items that change my build, etc. When that stops, I stop.

D4 Bad

Same skills as launch. Every season is about tuning rather than new character skills or builds. The original argument was that artists are not able to tweak the animations. At almost two years, the game is still hyper similar to launch with the same ~10ish viable builds and a worse game loop that requires you to beat your head with a stick until it opens up like a pinãta.

Going to be first season I skip, will still be playing LE on launch!

So Diablo 4 is still season of the skip

Hi Rhykker can I ask you a Diablo 4 story quests question please as it drove me nuts so I took a break. In Diablo 3 the story had my completely hooked and I couldn’t stop playing and the Diablo 3 story always showed you where to go next for the next part of the story. In Diablo 4 I’m not even max level I’m about level 30 ish after after each part of the story I have to search for ages for the next part of the story quest and the Diablo 4 story feels like it doesn’t flow due to this. Am I doing something wrong or is the Diablo 4 story just bitty like this? I wanna get lost in the story but I can’t due to all this searching. Is it me?

Cool! I’m excited for all the things. I’ve enjoyed diablo thru all its phases, but I am happy to see changes that make the game better.

There is no economy in D4 because trading isn’t a thing. Besides… D4 BAD

What happened to friday season launches? I raid in wow on Tuesdays so I definitely wont be able to partake in the season start.

Ive only played a couple of D4 seasons, and I dont see myself going back. I’m not huge into ARPGs, but I am loving Last Epoch right now. And I feel that if I get the urge to play an ARPG in the future, I’m just going to play LE over D4 or anything else.

leveling meaningless until 60, skill tree is trash no hype, build crafting s.hit we are spinng2 win from the rock age
itemization godawful drops not give me satisfaction

On another note, guys.
Rhykker really should get 1M mark soon. Admit it, you enjoy Rhykkers content about D4 more than you enjoy actual D4. That should mean something.

The devs seem confused and unfocused as to what to do with their game. What a shitshow.

only here to downvote clickbait

I highly doubt they will be patching the balance of the game effectively within 2 weeks of a season. Look at POE2 which are much better in terms of patching and the mess that they made with their game

Can’t see getting to torment IV in season 8 being overly too difficult , I’ve been playing season 7 for only a few weeks , and comfortably fight in Torment 2!!!
With a complete thrown together Necro build With No Build Guide.

Thinking if I’m able to dedicate myself to season 8 properly I should do a lot better this season!

Rhykker missed his calling as a broadcast radio personality. He has a radio voice.

Im definitely on board with the quick changes to builds ealy in the season. Thats what I was complaining about. The past couple of seasons I stopped playing after Blizzards first balance patches into the seasons because they basicly destroyed my build and I didnt have had the patience to level and equipp a new character from zero

Removing the COndi Shrine sums it up pretty well. D4 Dev with all their power cant fix a simple pylon what was THE trade mark pylon from D3. Big L

Lol barb over performing but they buff bloodwave. Wtf

how about a ptr with Diablo 2 itemization, and a complete skill tree rework, and end game progression system

People don’t give a shit about D4 anymore, they had their chance

I went back to D3. Honestly, D4 still feels like a beta. D3 has it´s flaws, but it is fun and is not killing everything you build for after each and every season.

I’ve played Last Epoch season 2 and it made me realize how far behind D4 devs are in terms of real upgrades to the game. I really don’t understand how such a big and expensive company like Xbox-Activision-Blizzard delivers that litte every season

Game is officially dead

Yeah.. I’m off to play some more D2R 😀

Nah… I never can finish a season. Still too boring. Ill wait again. Tanks for info Rhykker, but you youtubers get aways “hyped” on D4 for nearly 1 weak after start season say it is bad…

We had to do nothing but head hunts b/c the season achievements were locked behind them & it took 30-40 hours to grind out. So when we done w/ the head hunts we were done w/ the season. It was by fat the most tedious season & burned me out on diablo’s future installments.

If T4 is aspirational than it’s downright insulting to the player base for the season journey to require it. Have the season end in T3, then you can do whatever you want with T4.

I’m opening the video with the hopes that they finally removed Diablo 4 altogether

Looking forward to season 8 Yes, NOT LOOKING Forward to people complaining, especially because they think the game is too “Hard”.

So they are removing the best shrine? 😅😅😮

Yea pretty much fuck this game at this point

Best thing about D IV is that Last Epoch’s 1.2 patch is out. D IV was planned to be dead on arrival, and that’s the way it turned out. The original prediction that it would be at least two years and two xpacs until it was playable still hold true.

This is my proposal: why not enable the PTR two months before the start of the new season? That way, YouTubers and expert players can thoroughly test every build. It would give the developers plenty of time to adjust — nerf or buff — any class as needed. By the time the new season launches, everything would be much more balanced.

Why do we, the players, always have to be the beta testers during the actual season, only for things to change halfway through?

Just say the game fucking sucks now and they’re grasping at straws and still manage to fuck that up.

Im sorry that you guys love a game so much that is treated this way. I was a wow and cs player and i understand the pain

rhykker stop it please… stop it…. u are ruining your yt channel …u dont need d4 money …. remember when u were free and could say what u really think.

They want to go the same path as poe2, which is suffering right now. They should go towards LE …

no paladin not coming back..

Yeah, keyword there is “play enough”. As most players are normal working players and not streamers/content creators , I feel like T4 will only be reachable by these types of people. That plays 24/7

If that’s the biggest win it’s kinda sad lol

Grinding Pits for glyphs is pure shit. I never got any build over ~50 on all glyphys. Can’t imagine to push even one to 100, hence all for one build. The EXP needed to be x5 for me to honestly consider it. (Just my opinion)

@Rhykker the Diablo coper andy

Not a single mention of the paid aspect of the pass. This is why D4 partners should just disclose at the start of a video they are on the program. So biased. Hope your knees dont hurt too much Rhykker

What’s the point of having Boss powers if you’re just going to nerf them? Aren’t they supposed to be Boss powers? You built an entire season around them—leave them as they are, they’re meant to be overpowered.
It’s not like you’re losing your paycheck if you let people have a bit more fun and grind a bit less.

Haven’t touched D4 since the Spiritbron release, just not having fun anymore when all they do is rehash stuff from previous seasons. It just doesn’t feel like a finished game.

LE (indie game) ridicules Diablo 4 in almost every way. Shame that this game has been stagnant for almost 2 years now and the systems in it are pathetic…. But hey you have a rebuilt season pass xd

D4 Bad

maybe we soon leave early access mode…

Been playing since beta, but this is where I shelve it.

I’ll stick with Last Epoch. On my 4th S2 character and have been loving it.

Be honest with me here. I got the game on launch, played a lot of it, but when they did the giant nerf before the first season, that really killed my mood with the game, but the first season was kind of fun with the Necro Corpse Explosion Build. Played for a few weeks to a month in the first season, and stopped. I haven’t come back ever since.

So, what is the state of the game today? And, do I need that DLC? Is it actually worth it?

Clickbait. Don’t waste your time. They removed.a shrine.

no hype here, d4 is born to death. please don’t make content about this failure.

If I didn’t like your videos so much, I wouldn’t even consume Diablo 4 content at this point. Updates are always boring and disappointing. They put more time into the new battle pass than the actual live game that they promised. It’s like someone else said in the comments, at this point Blizzard is just a bureaucracy.

Typical modern blizzard copium enjoyer: “so glad the team that keeps effing me in my bum finally listened and did something that shouldnt be a problem to begin with”

Lol bruh…you are just a payed blabla. This game is dead.

CONDUIT SHRINE GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to be clear they are only wanting to react quickly to nerf things they deem to be too strong. I guarantee you they will move far slower or not care at all about buffing things that are not strong enough.

The ONLY thing that will ever bring me back to Diablo 4, is if someone figures out how to get into the Secret Cow Level. That’s it.

In Season 7 I was not able to reach (= playing comfortably at) Torment 4 because even after over 100 hours played I was not able to find the build defining unique I needed. At all. Not a single drop. While target-farming it. I’m not sure if I’ll come back for Season 8.

Who will be the strongest character in season 8?

as a huge fan of D1 and D2 I am always very depressed watching these D4 videos. How it came that after decades of time to develop and polish this franchise, we ended up with this crap? Why we even are trying to be hyped about removing stupid bugged shrine after 8 seasons?

OMG, the most important subject in this video is: “D4 is saved it removed conduit shrines”. This entire video explains to you why D4 is a joke.

The premium battle pass went from 3$ to 8$ … just saying… -_-.

6:58 I would imagine Ahavarion, Spear of Lycander users must be happy.

Im going to give S8 a try, but tbh, Last Epoch just did the perfect patch for me atm, so im going to do the bare min. in d4 and then go back to LE.

lads currently hammering D2R and tell u one thing rest is just nowhere near

D4 is so irrelevant to me i was suprised they are in season 8 allready. I played almost every D3 season but i cant be asked to install D4 until they give us better classes. the lack of fun builds is shocking. also its a joke they put the addon at sale on steam but its still full price in the blizzard launcher where they would earn more money even if they put it on 60% sale… its just a clownfiesta.

Step 1: Change color scheme so the game FEELS completely different even though nothing really changed
Step 2: Remove all viable and fun builds from last season
Step 3: Insert two new builds that are completely OP pigeonholing 99% of all players into that build.

You can only get to t4 with certain builds. If you want to play fun off meta things or build your own stuff, t4 is just not viable.

I’ll get to torment 4 day 1 or 2. They lying about that 10%. Unless 90% of the playerbase straight up doesn’t even get to paragon.

Is the stacking boss debuff still a thing? If it is, tanky builds will never work in D4. You want max dam one slaps that kill the boss before the buff goes too high. Meanwhile in LE for example, you can absolutely out-tank a boss with enough investment. Maybe a bit too much in the case of some builds. 😀

I uninstalled D4 to reinstall BG3 (I know I need another SSD). I think I’ll just play that for a while…I’ll play D4 again, but maybe not until the next expansion. I’m pretty burned out on it, honestly. Played it a lot with seasons 1-6…Didn’t play 7 much at all.

Why is everybody so negative? Isn’t it great that they’re fixing their game?

Looks like someone is learning from PoE2 s fck up.

Boss powers, Malignant Powers, Vampire powers, bullshit.. Lakers in 5

Funny how D4 feels like a D3 reboot at the end of its Season Cycle. For the Season‘s is just some shit powers, 1 hour generic quest and rebalancing. Just sad…

The Hail Of Verglas has been changed : before you had max life and now its Cooldown Reduction. The Shivering Aspect has een buffed from 45% to 55% also. Ice shards will be powerful finally

Good build for sorc i am thinkink : Ice Shards, Meteor thanks to helmet and meteorites buff and Lightning Spear which target the nearest mob

sorcerer still sucks early game you have nothing to generate mana only your base mana regen…. would love to have something to help there early on until you have starless sky or ga mana reg on gear.

meh! No rest for the Wicked and Vrising are coming at the same time. Will not be playing D4

D4 is the most hard bait of the history of video game, never seen so much commercial and stuff for a trash game in the end.. its so cringe but it show how trash blizzard became with years (same with retail wow since years) they dont know how to do great game anymore, just a bunch of cringe investisors who have no clue what a keyboard is. Bli$$ard is pathetic at this point just delete d4 and reset 😂 just move on.. stop bait ppl with fake hype trash company

They finally removed the game?? Oh that wasnt it. Bummer

But why

It was the worst D4 live event ever considering the game is 2 years old already. However, if you think this game is still in EA it makes sense why it’s like that.

Glyphs is still a mayor problem I don’t will do 100x pit to level one glygh… it must be done in 10 runs max. this is so boring

some people are still playing this trash? I am amazed.

Why are people still talking about Diablo 4, no one is playing it, its 1000% dead.

Did they fix the issue where the game is extremely boring cause theres no meaningful progression or endgame? No? Cool. Im not coming back until they do.

Need more buff for necro minions build.

only question looking at the road map . the last season for 2025 is 4 months . that mean that we going to get d4 expansion2 at very start of 2026. ALSO . WHEN this shitshow with boss will end? i mean i w8 for all drop to drop from anywhere like d3

I’d love to see a real raid map that shows Diablo somewhere in a diablo game. Seems they are milking it over having a real plan.
The money machine selling armor sets and other MTX seems to be working while leaving us wondering what the shit man?
Diablo is so far removed from the aesthetic and feel that is a diablo game… sure we have the hack and slash AARPG element but that seems really shallow compared to where their efforts really lay.

Didn’t do much more me – hate that the game is still slower (even if less so then in the ptr) – they need to reverse the loot changes and boost ancestral item drops massively. Also, the nerfs to Boss powers are OTT – they haven’t done enough to make ice shards viable either

To be honest about D4.

After 2 years. They did add nice stuff.
Still there is no endgame.
I hate the pit, drops are poor… pit is boring, and the exp sucks.

Why only 10% of players are able to reach Torment 4?!
What about 90% of players that want to invest in their characters.

Want to build a strong build to farm the tormented bosses.. and not being a pro player.

The Pit should be removed from the game.
Infernal hordes are a way better option for exp gain.
And besides i do enjoy them much more than what the game has to offer.

After 2 years i still feel i play a beta game with every season some core mechanics are changed.

Instead of the constant tweaking and breaking core mechanics..make something solid and finished.
And add new features along the way for people to enjoy the game.

Again I’ve said this 100 times already, they can “fix” whatever they want in D4 and it will still be worse then D3 or other Arpgs for the simple reason that the game is to simple, There isn’t a big build diversity like at most u have 1-2 builds per class viable.
There isn’t a also the fact that art style is SUPER boring and the story (Which is the #1 reasons most ppl play Diablo games at all), the forced MMO parts of the game is bad aswell as maybe only 1% wants to play with others in this genre.

D4 isn’t able to be saved in a seasonal patch, most likely not an expansion patch either (Altho RoS in D3 did save D3 completely so never say never I guess). D5 is the best option for Blizzard if they wanna make things right again.

Oh and the gameplay loop in D4 is the most boring out of any game I’ve played in my 40 yrs.

I’m casting my vote objecting to content made around that utter cash-grab piece of garbage the Diablo franchize has become.

Wtf? Reliquary = another useless paywall to get useless things.

This game sucks a lot.

This season still sounds unpleasant from a casual player perspective

Conduit shrines eh? Last I accidentally got conduit my damage numbers showed negative in skill bar, so guess they don’t use unsigned for the display values, since hitting the enemies still didn’t heal them…

They need to nerf the players numbers…. otherwise there will never be balance. Then you bring the monster numbers down to match. Do this until the gap of the strongest build and weakest build isn’t a massive canyon. That way none will one shot a boss.

Ty brother, but this is 16 minutes of nothing. Imagine if POE had news like this hahahaha

If they are going to make Torment 4 that much more difficult, it probably also means that a lot less people can get to paragon 250. They need to some how make paragon 250+ more rewarding somehow. So our characters will be that much stronger every level up near the end. It is hard enough for casual players to even reach 300, after paragon 280, most builds are pretty much completed unless getting 4 GA on every gear.

“Giga Belial”

Removing 500 platinum from the battlepass was a massive L

I’m now cautiously optimistic for S8, after being let down initially when the first news about season 8 dropped. I thought levelling in S7 was pretty good, was sad it was tuned back for s8, but now that it’s somewhere in the middle, my spirit is only crushed to a lesser degree. Changes seem good. I was able to get into T4 even though being a husband, dad and having a job forced me into being a casual gamer. I’m still confident I’ll be able to get to T4 in S8. It might take me a bit longer, but we’ll see. I do hate that the season journey is locked behind T4. Either have activities maxed at T3 or make T4 attainable for everyone.

My feedback: i will keep playing my paladin on Last Epoc while you romance on D4

Oh hell yeah man, I’ve been playing d4 since it released without the seasons started, it’s definitely changed quite a bit, but most definitely has been changed for the good since release. Call me a D4 geek, but I’m always excited to see what new things they can bring into the fight!

D4 devs are trash. I quit playin the game..no point in hoping they will make it better. They are uncapable of it at this point.

Citadel is still for multi only, solo frens sad 🙁

most exciting change is removing shrine from the game….that speaks for itself how bed is state of D4 right now

We still need a lootfilter!

dead game

I was gunna call out their BS, but I’ve given up… Been playing Diablo games since early 2000s. I’m horribly sad that I can’t enjoy it anymore…

These guys focus too much on cosmetics than the actual game and balancing, that’s why people play for 3 days to a week at most. Game is dog shit just a money grab!

Thank you for noting the volume being too low!
I thought I was losing my mind since nobody was complaining (that I could see)

i just gave up to blizzard updates doesnt matter anymore they sucks

…impressed because the transition between slides got better…okay, to each their own I guess.

D4 is getting better and better so d4 good now but there is 1 problem there are to many bots that don’t like the game they like to comment how d4 is bad blah blah move on if you don’t like it and let just People enjoy the season 8

I love Diablo 4 but at this point they need to aim to release a V2 version of the game next year. So many elements of the game need an overhaul and we still need basic features like a loot filter, better inventory management and better trading systems like an auction house. They also need to add new skills to every class and a ton more mythic items. Last Epoch has just shown what can be achieved if a development team cooks for 6 months and they don’t have anywhere near the resource Blizzard does. I also think they need to look at how they are communicating with their dedicated player base. Why release a roadmap and then come out and say it’s not finished and that it’s just a starting point? Surely you should know that the roadmap that was released would have been torn apart? I don’t get it.

We don’t want people having fun, we need it to be miserable, endless unrewarding grind or its just not Diablo.

happy to hear about whirlwind being buffed and them trying to go back to actually doing the damage with your weapon instead of acting like some warrior-mage who spawns stuff that does the damage for you.
that’s a general issue i have with many melee classes in arpgs nowadays, they all do their damage mostly by magic and not physical.

Love every season. For me PoE 1&2 and LE are too complex gearwise. Too many stats, resistances and stuff to keep track of. I want to blast, not sit 30-60 min going through gear, AH, crafting, etc each 2h of play. Love and have loved all 4 Diablo games!

Promises promises is al we been hearing and yet we’re beyong seasons meanwhile most people have moved on to other games and stopped caring by now!

Got it, so with Diablo 4, we’re looking at the same exact cosmetic store priority game, just with number value changes because new season. 👎

Worthless. I have Diablo 3 at home.

d4 from bad to oh what the hell are the devs thinking!

God forbit we have power fantasy or fun in the game. Oh i forgot, they need to make people who play soulslike games happy. Because nothings says Diablo franchise like a soullike game

still sounds like shit
