Don't get me wrong, I want to give this game a chance, but it seems like an exact copy of Diablo 3.
I gave this game a chance as an alpha/beta player, and immediately uninstalled it. It was beyond a disappointment. It was an embarrassing sham like Diablo 3.
One of my biggest sticking points was the constant adversion to allowing eight players per game, instead of the four currently, and the tech tree is literally an exact copy from path of exile. I don't understand why they keep deviating from a game, Diablo 2, that is the golden standard.
Why do they keep playing with the tech tree? Why do they keep playing with the stats tree? It's almost like they don't want to acknowledge Blizzard North's success? Why kill off Diablo, Mephisto and Baal? They're demons, and the soul stone should've been recovered to free them and allow another good series instead of this Inarius / Lilith soireé.
What am I missing?
Diablo 4 is my favorite of the series so far. The story, although not quite as good as D2, is quite excellent.
Also the game is very accessible while encouraging diversity, unlike D3. It has allowed me to play with my wife who typically doesn't play games like this. It is certainly not a clone of PoE, which is very difficult to break into.
I'm sorry that they didn't just make D2-2 but there is still D2 for you to play if you want to.
Its not a clone of PoE, but its pretty clear, they drawn a lots of inspiration from various elements of it...
