the biggest "LIE" of this game...

Only been playing for maybe a week. Played D2 back in the day. Thought this would be some updated, nostalgic fun.

The game tries to give the perception (via website, via passive powers chart, etc) that you can make more or less, any type of build you want. This of course, is nonsense.

It's all limited by the obnoxiously moronic gear/socket system.

You'll make the build the RNG gives you, and you'll like it. That, or you'll keep using armor 20 levels too low, just so you can actually use the powers you want to use.

Don't see myself sticking around too much for this one.


NOTE TO DEVS: if you want $$$ from F2P folks, you gotta at least let them think the game is worth it first, before you start screwing them over. For example, I played NWO a few months back... it took til end-game til I realized what P2W garbage it was. By then, I'd already bought a few things. Here, it only took a few days to realize what garbage your gear/socket/RNG system is. Thus, you'll get no $$$ from me.

Thread will be moved or deleted in 5...4..3..2..

But yeah, you make some good points.

They can easily solve this by getting rid of stats inside the skilltree and allowing for every node to be picked from any place of the tree at any time. With longer strings of connected nodes giving bonuses.

Agreed, OP.


Build diversity in this game is a joke really.

And so, another player doesn't get it.

We do get it. There are optimal roads across the skilltree. Not picking those is the equivalent of nerfing your own character. Which means you're making your own gaming experience worse because you wanted to try stuff out.

= discouraging gameplay.

actually sir...I believe you are the one not getting it.

I agree with you OP...Build Diversity is NOT what it initially appears to be at all!

Tho this isn't necessarily a bad thing...

Its not a joke if you RMT ... :( so P2W ... When I leveled my first char to failure I WAS HAPPY because I know what I`ve wanted next...but...fuck this hit , never got my ultimate tank immortal build that can tank everything for my party because of the damn items...

There is no build diversity.

There is no build diversity.

There is, it's called gimping your character to experience fun builds.

Sadly there is no benefit in gimping your own character except for the "fun" part. To be even more blunt, when you try a "fun-gimp-my-ass" build, you will most likely have no iiq/iir/killspeed resulting in an even faster realization this game is not for theory-crafters.

However saying there is no build-diversity is wrong, it's just vastly inferior to progress in the game and 10x as hardcore as the top ladder players.

Actually there are 3 kinds of diversity in the game. Fanboys, players who have both pros and cons about the game and NO LIE, people like this:

OP seems somewhere in between pro and con and the last kind.
