![]() Given the drought fulfilling Diablo content that fans have had to endure, Diablo 4 finds itself shouldering the expectations in a big way.Įarly signs look promising. Though attempted to fill the gap, the title’s heavy use of microtransations and lacklustre campaign left a foul taste in players’ mouths. The last mainline Diablo title, Diablo 3 is over a decade old. It is my hope that Diablo 4’s beta process will give Blizzard the opportunity to fix the game’s problems in advance We can but hope that hotfixes and patches will be enough to give beta testers a smoother ride this time around.

Looking at another looter like Destiny, for instance, it’s a similar reason why that game, despite being a decade old, has never gone down the set route at all.Īs ever, I cannot wait to experience this for myself. It does seem more dynamic than “get six pieces of Tal Rasha’s to have the meta Sorceress build.” I have liked sets in games like this, from Diablo 2-3 to The Division, but I think there’s a clear reason they’ve shied away this time. And we even have legendary power nodes within the paragon system. We have unique items with fixed abilities in fixed slots. We have legendary items with variant abilities, we have the ability to extract those legendary powers and apply them to other items in other slots. While I was a little skeptical when I first heard there were no sets, given how essential they seemed in past games, after seeing Diablo 4’s build design and hearing Adam’s answer, I do get it now, and how sets don’t really work within the framework they’ve built here. ![]()
