I've played Diablo since d1 came out. D4 has some promise but the end game suuucks. I'm so done with Blizzard.
Man, same. I used a blood necro build for season 1 all the way to level 90 before realizing it wasn't viable any more and had to switch to blood/shadow, only to see the patch for season 2 buffs op and blood builds. What a slap in the face. I'm not going to play the same build two seasons in a row now that it's going to be a viable build. Some builds are just not viable for an entire season run, and it sucks. Greater rifts were much funner than nightmare dungeons. Leaderboards were fun for those that wanted to keep going after doing everything. D4 needs serious work. I'm done putting in my time while Blizzard sorts it out.
Pre season & season 1 I couldn't get past the 70s. It just feels bad, it makes me feel guilty. The item shop, the fomo pass, the subpar story, the even worse season content. We're just cows to be milked and it sucks. The games suck. The pricings suck. The predatory mechanics suck. Gaming nowadays (largely) sucks.
I was actually okay with the campaign story. It wasn't particularly memorable, but it was leaps over D3, which I know is a low bar.
I think they kinda wasted a lot of potential with Lilith in making her this stereotypical cartoon villain. It's a shame because I loved her design & voice actress.
I also hated when we tell Elias that we took care of his finger, instead of just yanking him another time and be done with it, or showing Inarius the freaking soul stone, for absolutely no reason, which we knew he would have strong feelings about. It's like Azmodan & Diablo telling us their plan in D3 types of stupid. And of course in both cases it completely backfired, just like it did for the big bad evils in D3. And then we let a kid, influenced by Mephisto, run away with the damn thing and don't even attempt to get after her.
