0.4 Predictions and personal critiques.

1- You already ruined map juice by removing towers, now you're aiming to increase League time with slower gameplay (meaning fewer monsters to fight). Diablo 4 has been doing this for years, and you were supposed to be different...
2- I think there are some problems in GGG's R&D department. Isn't there anyone in the team who is a dreamer or has a high imagination? (Druids use Nature) What you do is put a skill while being a human + turn into a monster and make a combo by detonating a skill (guys, this is not a druid..) Its gameplay is similar to a turtle.. 3- Come on, admit it, Druid was dying a lot in End Game (Pack size was too much) and that's why you had to nerf the pack size by 40%. You don't need to lie to us about less monsters + more loot... 4- You dropped the pack size but the maps are still the same size??? What do you mean? Should I still run the same size map for 40% monsters (You had to reduce the size of the map too) 5- You added meaning to the Fight part of the bosses, but will she still drop 2 Augmentation and 1 regal shard at the end of the fight, or will our meaningful fight be rewarding? 6- You touched on the loot aspect, but what about the experience and experience loss aspect? Won't reaching level 100 become more impossible with fewer monsters? Has the experience gain been increased proportionally in proportion to the decrease in the number of monsters? No information was provided. Otherwise, reaching level 100 would be a miracle. 7- It's been a year and you still haven't made any progress with the charms. Using a maximum of 3 charms is a complete pain. 8- Is the Recombinator still a slot machine? Haven't you fixed it yet? Last bumped on Dec 6, 2025, 6:54:21 AM

Interesting point in #3. From the skill show case that we saw it does look like it would struggle. Especially wolf. Obviously could be wrong and only time will tell but the playstyle appears to look like that. My biggest question is in dragon form when you fly up and breathe fire, are you immune to damage? If so, this 100% needs to be removed or given to other skills like leap slam.
Also side note, I saw this somewhere else and actually agree. All the transformations should have been ascendency locked and in that ascendency it should have been 3 separate wings for each form mastery. The human spells should be what all classes get access to. Same treatment as Demon Form. |

" In my opinion, the developers were already saying the Druid was ready in 0.3. They tested it in 0.3, but because it was dying so much in the endgame, they removed the towers and pack size and other things in 0.3.1. With 0.4, they didn't just reduce the pack size by 40%. We won't be able to throw delirium, pack size, rare monster on maps anymore. The theory here is that the Druid will become an A- or B-tier class, because I think GGG nerfed all the paths to its survivability. |

" This is GGG's usual behavior. They do this repeatedly to keep everyone in the game. You have two types of potential customers for your MTX market, and you need to keep them in your game somehow. A league for slow runners, earn some money. Flip, fast league, earn some money. Repeat. " Naturally, there are many problems in GGG because it's not a standardized industry. Is there an enforced norm? Are game mechanics constrained by some ISO or DIN rules? No. It's complete chaos everywhere. I think you're 100% right about what you're talking about, but in the end, it doesn't really matter because they don't care as much as player; because they're modern slaves of a company. They're just interested in feeding their families until automation takes their place/jobs. Can you blame them? I cannot. " %10000 true and I laughed out loud when they almost died to normal/white mobs in the showcase with wolf shape. How can a group of people be so bad at game development in terms of melee gameplay after more than 10 years? And they're free to do that because there is no real competition in the industry. It's either thrash indie games or these guys playing with their food, which is you, the player. " +doing that while not adding movement speed modifiers to the str+int side of the tree. At least they didn't mention about it but we will see. " It's a common behavior of GGG. Some older players, for some reason, hate the idea of "you get a loot chest at the end of a dungeon" and have been influencing GGG since the PoE1 beta. They're strange creatures with strange obsessions. " They talked about that with BiggyD and Mark said they configurated it accordingly. " Probably they don't have time to do that yet. I'm still waiting for a "build of the week" video which is showcasing Pragmatism and Bijouborne; using Self Immolation. " A large portion of the player base enjoys drugs and gambling. Is there anything else to talk about? Neden yaşıyorsun? Last edited by Jideament#2792 on Dec 6, 2025, 6:56:05 AM
