"Just being on a small device or screen doesn't mean Diablo IV Gold it's a small venture," Cheng said, noting that it's the studio's most ambitious Diablo project to date.Unfortunately for Diablo 4, mobile spinoff Diablo Immortal spoiled that momentum. From the moment of announcement, development, until launch, and beyond, Diablo Immortal was criticised due to its excessive microtransactions and the community was enraged. The same community which forced Blizzard off their real-money auction house, the same community that demanded the revamped loot system Loot2.0, which made Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls the most popular action-based loot game in the last period.
It was clear that they felt many ways feel still abandoned by Blizzard. Diablo 4 is a good start to make things right. Blizzard is a company in changing. The company is in the middle of the pending Microsoft merging, Diablo 4 could prove to be the final game released by "Old Blizzard," and there's an enormous pressure to make sure that fans get the game they want, especially since during the period following Diablo 3, other games similar to the genre, like Path of Exile, have been able to challenge Blizzard's looted crown.
There's a fundamental loop in Diablo that's at the heart of the game's success or not working. Is it satisfying to drop into the dungeon to mindlessly hunt down mobs and loot? If yes you it means that Diablo 4 is halfway to becoming a favorite among the community of fans. If the team has changed the loot system like they did in the first version of Diablo 3, then we're in trouble.
In the book Blood, Sweat, and Pixels The chapter about the diabolical Diablo 3 launch tells how a Blizzard producer played through the game hundreds of hours until they found one piece legendary loot. When that light in orange finally came out of an enemy, he went to the item only to find that his character class couldn't even utilize it. The loot system was fundamentally buy Diablo 4 Gold flawed that the excitement to grind for hours before finally receiving something unique, was broken.
