re: Diablo 4 Season 4

Season 4 is ok. For me the 1-100 process is a slog. I don't like how there is this sacred and ancestral step up in gear just to force you to regear and reapply aspects to make you feel like you're making a lot of progress. They could have just made itemization more interesting and potential to find an item at low levels that you use for a long time like in other ARPGs, but they chose to make everything ilvl based.

You can do the WT3 capstone dungeon at level 30 and the WT4 capstone dungeon at level 50. The game is just entirely too easy and poorly balanced and they did so out of fear to try to keep dads playing longer.

I don't like how much of a chore 1-100 is after you realize you have to complete that grind just to be able to get into the pit and further upgrade gear. I know it doesnt take that long, but even a 10-12 hour gatekeeping session is too much for someone like me that is just thinking about more fun games I could be playing with my time. I also still hate nightmare dungeons and don't like that you are forced to do those for glyph levels.

I would say that season 4 is mostly a step forward, but I still wouldn't recommend this to any of my friends. It's still an uninspired game.
