IMO Season 3 is a step back. I finally managed to get the Tempest Roar at around 85 for my Druid and there is literally no Endgame… A week ago i’ve completted all season milestones and didn’t uninstal the game because of the lunar event. An event from 6. till 20 feb… i finished the event in an hour. Blizzard has so many resources and still manage to fail. Gauntlet was going to be the silver lining of this season for me and they still cant bring it online.
I regreted the purchase of D4 at season1, s2 kinda gave hope but the last 2 weeks, nah i’m done.
D3 at launch had no endgame at all, much like D2. It was just farm bosses in the campaign until you got better gear to move to the next difficulty, rinse and repeat. Now, it did take longer because the game was balanced around the auction house. You were incredibly unlikely to find gear that would carry you into the next difficulty, so buying gear was generally the strategy to get you to the next difficulty. Then you could sell the gear you farmed there. It wasn’t really an issue on Normal/Nightmare, but it was on Hell/Inferno.
Sounds like more endgame than D4 has… And diablo was always a grind game, same as PoE or Warframe. But with D4 you just crash into a wall at full velocity when your build is good. Nightmare 100 dungeons are no problem. The only “fun” part was when butcher and the son of malphas decided to team up. Uber Lilith is a spit in the face but that’s it. There is literally nothing to grind for… And that’s my problem. It’s no fun to min/max when you don’t have anything to try it on
