It has been more than a month since the official launch of Diablo 4 Season 7. Compared with the initial enthusiasm caused by curiosity, now you should be more calm and objective when playing Season of Witchcraft. Therefore, besides the advantages of witchcraft power, you can also find that there are still many aspects of the game that need to be improved.
Although these shortcomings may not be solved immediately in the current season after being raised, at least the game developers will be aware of these problems in advance so that they can be adjusted and upgraded in Season 8 in a few months. Based on this, we will introduce you to these game contents that need to be improved.
Tedious And Repetitive Strongholds
Whether it is the original Diablo or the latest Diablo 4, although the entire game series has been undergoing adjustments, updates and changes all the time, its core has not changed, that is, you need to always work hard to obtain resources.
Unlocking and collecting different weapons, amulets, and armor, and finding ways to improve the efficiency of Diablo 4 Gold farming not only allows you to enjoy the fun of obtaining loot but also helps you further get other higher-level resources to upgrade your character. Of all the channels that can obtain resources, strongholds have been a more popular one in the past.
In Diablo 4, strongholds are actually a settlement that is initially occupied by enemies, and you need to obtain loot by completing tough challenges in it. The enemies in the encounters in strongholds fight fiercely and are usually at least two levels higher than your character. Although you can earn renown points to upgrade your character later, many players feel that the time and effort required to clear the fortress is not commensurate with the amount of rewards in the end.
However, difficulty is not the most fatal problem of strongholds, because difficulty sometimes means that the combat process can be interesting. After Season 7 is launched, you will find that as you become more familiar with building a new character, strongholds become more and more boring, and even the last advantage is lost. Some Diablo 4 players even say they never play strongholds.
How To Improve It?
While most waypoints in Diablo 4 only need to be unlocked once, and they remain unlocked when you play with a new character, waypoints in the stronghold must be unlocked again. This will undoubtedly greatly undermine the fun and desire of starting a new Diablo 4 character, causing you to get bored with the game itself, eventually.
Therefore, we think it would be best for Diablo 4 to change the completion of strongholds to a universal feature for the entire account in the late Season 7 or Season 8, just like Altars of Lilith and renown. In this way, by continuing the progress of strongholds to the game progress of all your characters, unnecessary clearing time is saved, making the operation of strongholds more efficient and meaningful.
Eternal Realm Seems To Be Unchanging
Although seasonal content is the main content of each Diablo 4 season update and attracting players, they only last for a few months after all. As the seasons change, you will find that your Diablo 4 experience seems to be stuck in a vicious cycle: play some new seasonal content, quickly become familiar with them and get tired of them, then start looking forward to the next new season too early, and repeat.
This is not to say that seasonal content is not needed. On the contrary, they should be better, but in addition, Diablo 4 should pay attention to the update and construction of Eternal Realm. Although seasonal power and new unique items can make your character more powerful, the lack of core gameplay related to Eternal Realm makes you feel that these new powers have no occasion to play.
Add Seasonal Stories To It In A Timely Manner
As a huge system for storing your old characters, it may not be realistic to add new mechanisms to Eternal Realm frequently, but it should not be difficult to incorporate the main story of the season that has ended into it-in fact, Diablo Immortal did this.
Whether Diablo 4 wants to attract new players or retain old players, it should consider incorporating the main story of the previous season into Eternal Realm in a timely manner after the end of the previous season, even if it is just to watch the plot. Or the game can also add or retain some simple quest lines that can provide small rewards.
This way, regardless of whether players are familiar with Diablo 4 before, they can enter Eternal Realm to relive the entire main story after completing the seasonal content and enjoy the benefits of the new quests. In fact, this will also make the story timeline of the game world more coherent and have a sense of narrative integrity, and give every player the opportunity to experience the story of any character.
Gradually Losing The Challenge Of The Endgame
Although appropriately reducing the difficulty is conducive to attracting more players, as an ARPG, if Diablo 4 blindly reduces the challenge of the endgame, it may prevent you from enjoying the joy of victory, and eventually lose the desire to challenge, and even give up the game.
For example, in the latest Season 7, although the new witchcraft power and unique items are interesting and powerful, the lack of high-difficulty endgame content undoubtedly makes everything meaningless. In addition, the drop of loot has become easier, thereby pressing the accelerator for the entire Season 7 progress, making it impossible for you to really enjoy the fun of the game. Therefore, Diablo 4 should really improve this problem in subsequent seasons.
Despite the above shortcomings, this does not mean that Diablo 4 is not a good game. In fact, it has been committed to solving problems in order to provide you with a better gaming experience. I hope it can get better!
