Geraltpoonslayer’s comments on the Campfire Chat:
- The absence of Rod in the stream allowed for clearer communication and explanations from the developers.
- The stream effectively addressed the reasons behind the changes and their philosophy, though some questions were still dodged (e.g., the dungeon leave time increase).
- While critical of the patch, Geraltpoonslayer acknowledges that the developers understand the root issues, like vulnerability being in its own damage bucket and being multiplicative. The bandaid fixes may not fully address these root issues, but it’s comforting to know they are aware of them.
- Despite not agreeing with all the decisions, Geraltpoonslayer believes in Joe’s vision for the game and sees him as passionate about making the game better.
- Looking forward to the future, even though Season 1 may not be of personal interest, there is hope that the game will improve significantly within a year.
Hopefully the new season of Diablo 4 will bring better content and keep the game fair. Get more diablo iv items and diablo 4 gold rewards for players to swim in the game.
