>Trying to trade in bulk maps, currency, and fragments is incredibly inconvenient and time consuming leading to more time spent attempting to acquire items to play the game rather than actually playing the game. Could improvements to the trade system for these types of items be made to help better facilitate bulk trading?

>No, fuck you.

frictionless trade is the worst concept that you can possibly implement in a Diablo game. it's a band-aid that don't fix the core issues of why people seem to "need" it so desperatly in a first place. GGG should focus on solving the root-causes instead of creating systems that historically have only lead to extremely severe problems.

my main concern is that they are more worried about flexing their muscle with overdesigned features/leagues than they are about fixing stuff (map boss being irrelevant for 3 years now, performance, …). Sure it's cool and hip and journos will write article about it, but if the whole game suffers from it the virtuous relationship that they had with the player will not last.

they have to make 3.7.0 a overwhelming success on multiple levels or they will start their downfall.

>or they will start their downfall

i thought most people simply stopped playing when tencent bought them out. it was a terrible bot infested p2w game before that, but i know the acquisition caused me to drop it.

i'm looking forward to the next diablo clone wave that's bound to happen in a few years.

>>16435276

Out right now, there's Grim Dawn, Titan Quest (new expac came out a couple years back), medianXL for D2, couple other D2 mods also, and Lost Epoch coming out soon which looks decent enough.

>Q&A

>not on 8chan™ with Mark taking care of it

Dropped.

>>16435285

i enjoyed titan quest, i thought it ended quite a while ago though.

>>16435299

It did initially, but then THQNordic picked it up and made an expansion for it in 2017. Also, Grim Dawn is very close to Titan Quest due to coming from the same engine originally.

>>16435295

Mark's benefactors need to step up their game

>>16435285

Median XL is shit and I have no idea why people keep mentioning it. Path of Diablo is, ironically, excellent because it's D2 with some of the quality of life improvements of Path of Exile.

Why would anyone play this shit when Grim Dawn and Titan Quest exist? Hell you could even go back to Diablo 1/2. PoE sounds like a total pile of shit in comparison.

>>16435326

Path of Diablo was really fun as Assassain, I really like how her skills were reworked. At one point I was chucking spears and using traps on hardcore and was pretty fucking unstoppable until act 3 because I was doing an "only level up at the end of the act" run..

>>16435276

>i thought most people simply stopped playing when tencent bought them out

Nope.

>it was a terrible bot infested p2w game before that

Was never really p2w in the classical sense, but you can argue that for the long term a one time purchase of ~$30 is necessary.

>i

Stop typing like a retard.

>>16435357

>Grim Dawn and Titan Quest

It's way better than those games. Especially for people who put some serious autism into D2 back in the day. Especially when compared to Titan Quest, are you even being serious right now?

And there is only so much time you can spend playing Diablo 2.

>>16435246

Pretty sure that Fortnite has a tiny bit more power in negotiations than PoE.

>>16435357

It's a different kind of pace vs Grim Dawn. Grim Dawn doesn't have the staying power of leagues and endgame progression that Path of Exile provides.

>>16435357

Some people like their skinner boxes to be endless.

They're owned by chinks and went to Commiefornia gamedev cons.

They're pozzed.

Reminder of the removed UI

>>16435502

The ui that they later added two ladies wearing bondage to?

>>16435600

>>16435502

Don't do this shit, the UI is a non-issue and the devs are obviously staunch leftists judging from the narratives present in the game. Irrelevant to the fact that it's a Chinese owned RMT front run by incompetents and loved by gambling addicted poopsockers who burn out in less than 2 weeks at every new clusterfuck of a league.

>>16435590

This is absolutely the case. I love me some skinner box. You never truly stop enjoying a skinner box you've invested into. Wish there were more out there that weren't absurdly pay to win (Because Path of Exile isn't - there is a small entry fee for some Stash tabs).

>>16436962

The slaves also start killing innocent civilians the second you free them (you can kill them too, which is fun)

>>16436301

So you can't play the game properly without stash tabs? You're at a disadvantage if you don't? And you need to pay money for it? Yeah, that's literally pay to win.

Has anyone ever made it to endgame without buying stash tabs?

Is this game worth getting back into? I haven't played in a couple years.

>>16437861

>we know game has shitload of problems

>we are not going to fix them but we are making 3 expansions at the same time

If that sounds good to you.

>>16437866

The Tencent move already had me three-quarters of the way for never returning. This is hell if hell is the impossibility of reason.

>>16437882

To be fair tencent acquisition have not changed anything. The only change at GGG was hiring that real coder who fixed some of their shit, but apparently he cant work 40 hours a day and be responsible for everything.

>>16435388

>"And there is only so much time you can spend playing Diablo 2."

HAHAHAHAHAHA

>>16437889

If you look at other games which were bought or influenced by Tencent, though, you know what's coming down the pipe.

Just look at League of Legends. Regardless of how shit you thought the game was, the monetization was way worse after the buyout. New champions were ridiculously harder to earn beginning about 1.5-2 years after it, basically forcing players to spend real money to unlock any significant amount of them.

>>16437465

You can't play this game without stash tabs. Think of Path of Exile as a B2P game.

>>16436962

Fuck off GGG employee or redditor fan who uses the same arguments every time this shit gets brought up. I actually know what leftism is, not sex-negativity or anti-Nazism spooks, and like I said it's irrelevant to why I dislike your company's hamster wheel game.
