lattimere: The D4 shop is a joke and the pricing is absolutely outrageous.
ZerosseN: If instead of 2800 Platinum for a set on the store, it costed around 300-500 platinum, I bet they would end up earning more since that is not that much money for us ($3 - $5 per set) and more players will end up purchasing that by saying "It's just 3 bucks" instead of "Damn! 28 dollars for a set? fu** that!"
loganwhite6173: The micro transactions are actually pretty sick looking but never in my life will i pay $25 for a cosmetic
bradlopez3681: The fact that when purchasing the premium edition I didn’t get enough currency to buy a single thing ever is wild
ralphglenz7207: They would have made 2x more if they priced the stuff 50% lower, the only reason I have not got a skin or two is the outrageous (IMHO) prices.
ekurisona663: grim dawn expansion coming in 2025!!!
Crazozourus: I never have DPS numbers displayed. It's basically pointless visual noise. Look at this video itself, numbers constantly covering the centre of the screen. Give us DPS meter instead.
lukebrady65: You're spot on about this game being way too random. It's obvious they're doing it to make us play longer so they can look good to their investors. I've been trying to get the right Masterworking rolls on my gear for weeks now, and it's not even fun anymore.
sebneeds: Temper bricking really feels so bad, man... For casuals to get a GA item and then hit neither of your intended tempers...
hotpancakes9814: We need real crafting in this game. All the crafting we have is just slot machine rng lol
pixpew: I still dont understand how they came up with the prices, there is no possible way they would not make way more money if they were cheaper, even those who buys them feel kinda screwed. Stupid move to make everyone unhappy with the cosmetic prices instead of creating a positive vibe with good prices.
Sheppard2030: Indeed…. RNG does NOT belong in every aspect of D4. RNG can f*ck off when it comes to fine tuning gear. Let us choose what we need for gear improvements.
goryo6585: Bricked a 3GA item yesterday. Could not get that vulnerable dmg for my chain lightning alt.
So i did a little testing. Tempered 100 items with worldly finesse. Most of the time overpower dmg, sometimes even couple times in a row. Then Crit Strike Dmg, closely followed by Ultimate Dmg. Vulnerable Dmg is so rare even if you take Frost Cage instead of Worldly Finesse. Those affixes have to be weighted. Damn you Blizzard. RNG and bricking is fine as along as the odds are even! Get rid of the weighted mechanic, even the odds and let us have fun again. Right now tempering still feels meh. It’s something you have to do, but don’t really want to. Masterworking is also frustrating because it costs so much resources, but it’s at least repeatable. Yes
visualcreativemt: Here's an idea to make Tempering more fun and less of a headache. When we temper, let's say we choose Worldly Endurance. It gives us the option of Maximum Life, Total Armor, and Dodge Chance. Let us freaken choose which one, but of course each one will be at a random percentage. That's where your randomness should be. Instead of us trying to get what we want, let us pick our 2 options, and THEN retemper for a higher percentage. That way if we brick the item, it'll still have the tempers we want. We just didn't get the highter percentages of the tempers we chose. There, taking notes Blizzard? >.>
hotpancakes9814: I don’t think ancestral drop rate is the problem. I like those rare. The problem is that legendary items SUCK. They should be able to get 2x tempers and up to 12x masterwork ranks depending on item power maybe. I just don’t understand why they made a whole tier of items useless AGAIN
BoxBoxBoxGaming: I've been saying since D4 launched: if they can't get ME to pay for microtransactions, then they have TRULY fucked up. I am a DIEHARD fan of the franchise since 2001 and I have plenty of disposable income but not even I am willing to pay their insane prices. it's just not good value.
philosocrates: Cash shop is about 500% overpriced.
S1nwar: for a 2. expansion I would like to see a hell in the style of D1 again with large, surprisingly clean bone surfaces/structures and fountains of blood
matthuck378: I bet that 150 mil went straight to the people who do no work, too. The investor class parasites.
framinthor: Well the shop is lackluster af. Wait till they start adding wings. And if they add QoL to it some way or another...
-bm1ir: Tbh bricking an item makes me want to play even less, just feels so disheartening spending 10s of hours for an item just for it to be ruined in minutes.
gorelp: Saturday morning folks are in the house! Coffee and news.
abraxis59: You are one of my favorite content creators and you have always been an advocate of people playing their own way, so I feel like I need to call you out on a comment. ARPGs are NOT "games of efficiency". That is a fallacy promoted strictly by on-line personalities who are trying to tell us how we should be playing. It is great that some people like that style of play but I can guarantee that a significant portion of Diablo player base (if not most of them) are not playing that way and don't want to. So, the promotion of that playstyle as the "right" way to play is purely toxic because it can make people who just want to have fun doing their own thing feel like they are doing something wrong.

sobolblade7565: This video its kinda of a milestone of why D4 lacks fun. Very well explained points particularly mentioning the randomness in everything from items to affixes and crafting aspects. Hope the devs pay attention on these points and improve or even change again the identity of affixes on items. At the moment it just feels that we just click on monsters to get that specific item we need and done. Instead we need to have a sense of exploration and unpredictability of what drops. That's fun. That's what Diablo 2 achieved. Excellent deep dive Rhykker.
ThatPunkYT: Opening a Christmas present to either get a PS5 Pro or a pair of socks, I'd go for the socks because at least straight out of the package I can vertically stand in them.
rossfindlay24: prices are criminal , if they charged $5 for each set they would have made 4 times this , idiots
shahamut5009: Masterworking and Tempering needs to be not random at all. It would be REALLY cool if this was one area where people could define their builds with their masterwork/temper choices, but as it stands its still just going to have the "right" tempers and masterworking and everything else will suck.
