ive got a hankering to get back to diablo 4. looking at the PTR it seems like the game might finally be going in the right direction.
i got the game on launch and got my ww barb to 100 long before the first season ever started. got to nightmare 65 dungeons, had all the gear i needed and my aspects set up, and then quickly burned myself out on the game as it felt like all the dungeons were the same 3 or 4 templates and i was just repeating the same shit over and over for no real purpose other than to grind for that shako that i knew i was never going to drop, while trying to get the last of my glyphs to 21 for the smallest most incremental damage boosts.
2 of my buddies quit for the same kinda reason. it was fun until we hit endgame and after a while the novelty kinda worn off and we moved on to playing different games. i had a lot of buyers remorse with that game as i've sank thousands of hours on diablo 2 and 3 and i wanted diablo 4 to be so much better than it was but after a month the game left me with a sour taste in my mouth knowing what it could have and should have been.
but it looks like its turning around now. i guess the pit is pretty much the d3 version of doing rifts or whatever, and that mastercrafting stuff looks interesting. i think i'll be giving it a shot once the big patch goes live for all.
but alas, a new season of path of exile just started, and ive gone back to it. even though seasons mean nothing to me in PoE and i play in standard and ive been rocking the same build for like 5 or 6 years now that game never gets old to me. i've almost cleared 3500 hours on it now on steam and that's probably the most amount of time i've sunk into any game ever. i took about a year off from that one just because i was way too addicted, but i've been on and off with it since january.
but yeah i think i'll go back to D4 or D2R just to shake things up otherwise i'm just gonna end up finding myself playing PoE exclusively for god knows how many months when i already have so many other games i'd like to catch up on.
