    It took Diablo 3 around 3 years to get to that stage though.

      Yeah and Diablo III came out 10 years ago. There’s no excuse for Diablo IV.

      Diablo III was (and still is) dumb mindless fun, it’s perfect at what it offers. Diablo IV is just boring, with a cash shop and paid seasons on top of it. Like oh sure, I’d love to pay to get a super nice transmog that nobody except me will ever see since the game is super dead.

        Diablo 3 was a dumpster fire. D3 players have almost completely dropped off as people either play D4 or D2R.

          Oh it definitely was a dumpster fire while the auction house existed. No doubt about it. But if you try it today, it’s a nice over-the-top ARPG.

          D3 players have almost completely dropped off as people either play D4 or D2R.

          I’m not talking about popularity here, I’m talking about fun. The popularity of a solo game absolutely doesn’t matter.

      I feel like they’re on the right path with uniques and legendaries in D4. Sets in D3 provided huge bonuses and took up most slots, diminishing build variety.

        I ultimately refunded D4 but I suspect I will pick it up again in the future on sale and when they game has improved quite a bit.
