…and released the patch anyway
I like how they said they also intended to lower the lower level of NM dungeons but that part didn’t make it into the patch. Like their hands were completely tied.
“Hey we removed the seat belts from your car, but don’t worry we should have airbags ready in the next couple months.”
Doubt
Games gonna be great around season 6 or 7 when they get some content added, figure out what they are doing for balance, and figure out how to shape the wants of players+devs into a game.
Just feels like shits all over the place with no clear direction of what the game devs want the game to be vs. what the players are looking for.
It will be great after they fire everyone and rework it with a new team focused on customers/players just like D3.
This whole team gets a huge no confidence vote at this point.
I really don’t think they’ll replace the team nor do I think that’s the cause anyway. This patch was rushed for the season which was rushed to grab cash. Aggressive monetization remains the most toxic factor in game development and it usually comes from upper management rather than your hands on developers.
