What more is there to Diablo 3?
thats the problem with diablo3
diablo2 had more
No it didn’t
you probably cant see it
thats why you dont expect anything else from such game
Lol seriously, Diablo 3 is the second highest grossing PC game of all time. It is wildly successful, reviewed extremely well, and regarded as one of the best aRPGs of all time. It currently has more people streaming it on twitch than Borderlands 3 does, despite the game being 8 years old.
It improved upon a lot from D2 (duping, locked in builds) and has a much more addicting end game grind, considering…D2 doesn’t even have an end game. It is significantly more polished and has far more replay value with the seasonal approach.
This small but vocal minority that acts like D2 was perfect compared to D3 has a heavy case of “rose colored lenses” going on.
(I will at least concede though that D2 had the better atmosphere and story elements).

Now, to be on subject, balance is absolutely important, even in a PvE focused game. The balance doesn’t have to be PERFECT because if every gun was the same, that would be boring. However, you should not have scenarios where one gun is massively OP and other guns are practically worthless. That limits build diversity and makes people gravitate towards the same items. Sometimes nerfs are necessary, and yes Diablo 3 did nerf things.

right, maybe i just don’t recall them doing that. Blizzard likely buffed other stuff at the same time so i don’t notice the game being broken after the fact LOL…
Well, it’s also probably safe to say Blizzards’ QA testing is more rigorous than GBX’s, so you probably do not see as many instances of weapons needing massive nerfs. However, characters and items are rebalanced (both buffs and nerfs) before almost every new season. This is why the GR tier list changes somewhat with each new season.

If I could phase shift this thread to Blizzard’s forums, I would.
Closing it instead: there are enough threads about weapon balancing already.
