Because they have no consistent vision for the game and don’t know what they’re doing, so they panic and start toggling various levers.

Blizzard took the age old wisdom of “less is more” and decided they knew better.

I think it’s because when it is illegal it’s ultra illegal and ultra terrible. Even then I question how much of it is already pretty sus.

Cleared campaign full T2 from.beginning to end, hardcore only, with a stadia controller. Did it as a blizzard frost orb sorc, which I think is trash.

Probably just being gear checked. Go do some side quests until aegendary drops that temporarily breaks you for a few levels.

For shako being the rarest item in the game, it’s so utterly boring.

Only way I can justify it: Mephisto is a prime evil. Lilith a lesser evil. Both clearly already have influence over the entire party. Mephisto manipulating the hero into imprisoning him has to be part of his game plan.

Killing Lilith and imprisoning Mephisto is really the only logical choice. You were really going to side with a Lesser Evil, the daughter of Hatred, and think it was going to be all dandy candy?

I have no reason why they would let a child walk around with a prime evil soulstone though lmao.

Anyone that bothers you based on your hardware is an actual 🤡

Sure, but we’re talking about Diablo, not fps. I’m pretty sure the vast majority of PC gamers play FPS/moba with m+kb instead of controller lol.

We might have to accept we’re on the “losing” side, e.g. Lemmy will never have the numbers our subreddits had. We’ll have smaller communities and less content, but hopefully better conversation.

WE made the content. The community. No doubt the majority of level-headed folk would have accepted ad requirements in 3rd party apps. Hosting isn’t free, something needs to be monetized.

But that’s not what it’s about. It’s about locking down content from the new wave of AI models and charging for it. Charging for content we created freely to be shared.

The side quests aren’t going anywhere. There are way too many to do. Enjoy them for the lore – some of them make the game world feel more alive and fleshed out. Okay whatever part you enjoy the most. Even the story is structured so you can skip lore by powering through vs look at the side nooks and crannies for journals and paintings.
