Can? Yes, of course it can. Base game is unbelivably good, graphics are top of the line, mechanics are good etc. What we're missing is content, so of course it can have a comeback. But will it? Now that's tricky, we'll see. I'll give it another chance, the LAST CHANCE, thanks to you, but I'm skeptical at best. Edit: I just remembered Blizzard's idea of content and endgame si recycling 12 years old content from Diablo 3: Greater Rifts. So for me that's a big no. Fuck Greater Rifts and mindlessly grinding against a timer like a braindead drone!

It's also not the same as still play, you might not still play but maybe you did give it a try that season. Also, with a pole of 10k instead of 45k is not locking good. If there is 35k less people I intressted in D4 content, I'd say less people are intressted to play the game again. I'm till hoping for the game, and been playing more then 100h every season, some alot more. And I for one am enjoying D4 more then POE And LE. I don't know why, as I know and feel that on a tecnikal point it's not as good. LE has some really good systems, but I do not enjoy the game at all. Might be the class I was playing, but still.

Something that really hurts D4 is that it took this long to get to what’s coming. Many of these changes have been asked for by the community for a long time. Even just fixing the aspect/codex relationship early on would have fixed a lot of inventory and quality of life issues that frustrated a lot of us for over 3 seasons. Many of the little changes season 2 brought that attempted to help QoL easily coulda been brought in sooner as well. I think a lot of people who stuck around for any length of time burned out and went to other games and probably found more rewarding experiences . Theres been so many games coming out in a short span and you have to create an addicting rewarding experience to keep people going. But it seemed like blizzard was more focussed on getting something out by a certain date, making a ton of money for shareholders and themselves, and selling battlepasses and overpriced costumes in the store. And Many of the campfire chats insulted our intelligence and showed an unwillingness to get things done until things got bad enough that they felt they had no choice. I bet the new season will feel great, I just needed it to feel this great months ago. I may have got my moneys worth from the game but I never got the game I wanted it to be

The problem is that they do not have a good base game and exactly this idea is what differentiate Old Blizzard from new Blizzard and why some people doesn't understand that there is still a big difference between them at the core: Old Blizzard took mechanics and other things, story ideas and all from other games and made them into better games in any way, shape or form, but New Blizzard instead of creating a good game from the start and transform it into an A+++ class game with ideas and mechanics from all over, they made a not even a mediocre game, with mediocre story and ok-ish mechanics AND after they seen that people dropped the game hard, they started to improve with ideas, mechanics from other games that are better and quite successful at a lower, much lower price or even free! IF they would have made it less pricy, a better game and they would improve on that base, POE2 would really have competition and Last Epoch would have been a blip I. The grand scheme of things... The only reason D4 made money was because of the story that is old and people wanted it to continue and because it was a big price game and all people wanted to see the story after these many years... very old gamers, old gamers and young gamers...

The issue is the lack of creativity and not adding anything to the genre of their own. Especially when D4 has all the resources one could ask for and yet Blizzard isn't very creative. Ecosystems like this tend to smother innovation and advancement by trying to steal the audience/features of smaller products and leaving them to die. When there's no one to take ideas from and you're incapable of adding something, the genre regresses and loses popularity: you can take the example of how world of warcraft went through a very bad period because there was no one to steal from anymore and they went with their own ideas. Ultimately, games take inspiration from each other but having a cannibalistic approach often leads to bad results.

For me it's the rift thingy, I forgot what it was called but the arena thing. That's what I loved about D3, it was so satisfying grinding, and then all of a sudden u receive a new item which makes u smash your previous rift record. Especially when you've JUST hit 70 without the final set, the progression feels so satisfying, although it does die down after a few weeks into the season. But then, u come again the next season with a new build. At least that's how it was for me. Edit : Artificer’s Pit Anyways, I hope it'll be similar to the GR's in D3. But I still miss the matchmaking from D3, where u could just jump in to a GR session with random's with the click of a button. I found it extremely satisfying when you've just hit 70 and you feel you're getting carried for loot.

The first poll had 45K votes, the second one has 10K. I think it's very likely that most of the people who voted no on the first poll didn't vote on the second one as nothing has happened that could have sparked their interest in D4 since then. This means that you're comparing results from sampling a bigger group of D4 players with results from sampling a smaller group (likely containing a lot of the people who voted yes on the first one as those are the ones who kept watching your D4 videos), which is just silly.

There's also the gauntlet. They've reworked hell tides entirely. I agree the end game was non-existent at launch for D4, but I unironically think that D4's end game is totally serviceable now with season 4 (having played the PTR).

Pretty similar for me. Had fun at beta, release and season 2, but I barely touched season 1 or 3. But it's similar to Diablo 3 where I played a season and skipped for years again. The thing Diablo is still superior over the other ARPGs is that its often fun to play with friends while PoE/LE feel far more like Solo-Games. I love PoE and LE, played it for years but I think these game have also mayor issues. LE has a fun crafting/itemization system but feels heavy bound to pre-defined builds per class as well as combat feels not that engaging somehow over time (e.g. everything is mostly a oneshot and higher corruption becomes just boring). PoE relies too much on third party tools/pages I'm not a fan of like you have to plan a build in advance to have a proper idea of how to play. Too much stuff is "hidden" but visible on third party websites (e.g. craftofexile). We are not in the 90s anymore where "finding out by yourself" was exiting, because there was no internet. I think they make the game worse for people who wants to just try stuff out instead of planning ahead, follow a guide or run down a checklist.

The simple fact is, I paid $100 for the damn game, so I want to love it and want to play it. So while we haven't seen the full S4 changes yet (PTR feedback and all, etc), let's see how it turns out.

all those things are great, is there an actual endgame though.

I'll be giving it a try because I think the itemization rework looks great, but I don't think it's enough to keep me playing long term. When I think about the repeatable end-game or progression activities I need to do in D4, I just feel like there's no real goal worth working towards. It's easy to hit 100 so that's not a real goal, then you have a handful of uber bosses and the pit to do. The pit and the boss 'progression' rework is a good move and all, but why even keep playing D3 when you're already at max level and have access to all the content? What's the treadmill for? The only thing I can see is just a harder version of the few bosses we've already killed? When I think about why I'm trying to gear up, my motivation crashes. I guess I can say the carrot either isn't worth the run, or I'm already tired of the carrot because it isn't enough. I can't really consider myself a PoE player because I'm terrible at it, even after hundreds of hours, but I love the endgame and different progression systems. The mapping is interesting, getting drops and filling out the atlas. Building an atlas passive tree that directly impacts you gameplay in a way you get to choose, to get more of the content you're interested in actually doing. Tons of bosses, some of which are incredibly difficult and not just harder versions of weak bosses you've fought already, though ubers also exist. I think league mechanics that actually stick around are good. PoE is expanding with each league that is received well. This way I can progress through content I enjoy, rather than having to default back to the same A > B > C all the time. I can progress in Delve if I want, then I could do betrayal or Heist. All of which have their own league progressions that are still accessible as they've integrated them. D3 resetting to basically zero every time means the progression always feels shallow and too repetitive. This makes me sad because Diablo is my more preferred universe by far. Grew up playing D1 and D2. Thousands of hours. I've read the books a half a dozen or more times each, and love the lore of Sanctuary. I also much prefer a skill system that isn't tied to equipment. PoE's skill slot colors is a huge turn-off. It's basically why I end up quitting every league instead of just playing all the time. Getting upgrades is made so unapproachable because I need to farm for hundreds of jewellers and chroma's for every upgrade because it needs to be certain linked colors to make the skills work. I like the concept but in reality it makes getting upgrades not fun. Instead of being able to equip minor upgrades incrementally, it's only worth waiting for big upgrades which don't come often because higher tier content is too difficult without those constant small incremental upgrades. Is a vicious cycle for me. PoE2 not having them tied to gear is the system I I'm looking forward to which will hopefully completely resolve that.

I'll be playing season 4.. the PTR was awesome... Less see how it all fares in production. My main issue with D4 is the skill trees. I was really hoping last year at launch that D4 would have skills more akin to D2 or Last Epoch... Sadly D4's skills system is it biggest draw back for me.

Great video! Thinking of you as you go through some tough times!! I've been there time and time again myself. Regarding the video, I think the release of Diablo III's season has people excited to play Diablo again in general too! Diablo has always been my game and its been hard to deal with D4 for certain as even my fanboy nature kept me from engaging in Season 3. However, after playing D3 Season 31, I jumped right back into D4 and completed Season 3 today. I'm very excited for season 4 and hopeful! Regardless, I'll be playing the Diablo 4 as I've really missed the world. I played Last Epoch and it is a good game, but I felt it was too easy and the lore angle was weak. I tried Path of Exile, but couldn't get into it as it felt I was sooooo far behind from never playing it. Anyway, my two cents! Feel better, my brother! You do great work and are an inspiration to many both in your good times and bad! Never forget it!!

I always go back playing D4 not because I'm excited with the changes or hyped with what's coming. It's just the "I want to make THAT build" idea that I wanted to do but really bored of D4's current state so I'm holding it off just in case the next season could be good/better. New season is fresh, probably new aspects/uniques that might help with the build idea and of course, it's a part of ARPG rotation. Might take a just few days to make that build but pretty sure, LE Cycle 2 is almost done and will be up and running close to D4's S4.

It's a great time for gamers. There are so many amazing games out right now. I don't really see much new in D4. I'm afraid D4 is a one and done game. I loved the initial play through, though. Summertime is here too.

Nope, D4 will not even be considered on a "come back" until they introduce a Paladin class.

I think I'm more in line with the average D4 player who finished the campaign and thought "pretty good!" Then found myself mind numbingly bored leveling from 50-75 and never picked the game back up to have an opinion of endgame itemization.

I don't know if its so much a comeback, as it is 'okay, I'll give it another shot' kinda thing. It'd be nice if these changes gave the game legs, though. If they can keep momentum and hype for 2-3 seasons straight while continuing to improve the game - THEN i'd call it a comeback.

I think D4 is definitely on the right track, but i have my doubts this season will be a huge success. Hopefully they do something generous with the pass for the players like they did with overwatch this season. So everyone can get a high quality cosmetic without having to pay some ridiculous price. That was really good for overwatch and i think that'll help keep peole playing longer in D4 too

There is an additional factor which will impact people playing at the launch of Season 4 ... the game is now on Microsoft Game Pass... this means there is a HUGE base of people who will fall into the "Hype" from a very recognizable game title, stating a fresh Season, which is now included with something they are already paying for to play completely different games. I think this will contribute to D4 S4 having the largest surge since the initial launch of the game, possibly even larger... Just my 2c on the topic. Love the content, keep it up.

not gonna lie im excited for the changes and im looking forward to whatever season 4 had to offer us, been playing other stuff during my diablo 4 downtimes, certainly not a quitter though. Hoping we get another kinda reputation thing for season 4 i did enjoy that mechanic in season 2 as long as its not too grindy and we can earn reputation in a few different ways

There is nothing out right now. I’m waiting for the Elden Ring expansion, but even then, I want a relatively chill game to play that doesn’t require me to sweat. Hoping season 4 is good. Stopped shortly into season 1 and the nerf scandal.

The one thing holding me back from Diablo 4 is that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of better games I could be playing - both solo or with my friends. It'll take something mind-blowing and huge to bring me back to D4 and I can't see Blizzard achieving that any time soon with their current seasonal model. They need to make extremely big changes and focus on permanent content, rather than temporary guff that vanishes into the ether every 12 weeks.

And there's 10000 games so much worse than Diablo 4 and people keep playing them due to different reasons (F2P Gacha games like Genshin and 1000 of different variations of it is a good example), Blizzard already achieved an amazing result when they made killing of thousands of identical monsters fun despite you do it all the time and yet it is still enjoyable no matter how many hours you played, that alone is a good reason to play D4, yet D4 fails in other aspects, it doesn't respect the time of a player, it forces you to spent hours on item sorting and other boring stuff, that shit need to change in S4!

Hello! I didn't vote on any polls but here's my Diablo 4 "story". Played preseason, was okay, enjoyed it a little bit. Season 1 dropped, I played not even a week and thought it was too much like preseason so I dipped. Season 2, lot of new stuff, I played, I enjoyed, grinded out couple of hundred hours at least. Season 3, didn't even play it until I heard what was coming for Season 4. And the ONLY reason I played S3, other than S4 news, was that I figured I could grind out the battle pass and seasonal activities before S4 dropped. And this due to them extending it another month. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. Season 4 sounds like a lot of fun. I'm liking what I've heard about it and am looking forward to grind it. I don't necessarily believe it will be D4's comeback. I think what we have now is what will be. People will come a season, and not play another, back and forth until they game is replaced by Diablo 5 (or maybe Diablo Immortal 2?? Do you guys still not have phones???). This is what they need to keep doing though, if they want players to return to seasons. Add new stuff, fix old stuff, overhaul stuff, stuff stuff. On a more personal note, I hope you feel better. Life is a series of ups and downs and we all struggle in our own ways. Take a break and feel better. ❤
