The further we get away from D3's launch the more I appreciate how much better D2 was as a game and an overall experience. That no one on the dev team is pushing them back towards D2 itemization and further iterating on skills is a travesty.

Jay Wilson's Insights into Vanilla Development
jay_seasons_rifts.PNG


Vanilla Diablo III's game director Jay Wilson has recently been posting quite a few insights into the game's development on his twitter account. Here are some of the tidbits:

  • Seasons and Rifts were already envisioned during vanilla development. Tweet
  • Early internal versions of the game were much closer to Diablo II. Tweet
  • Jay and his team had a ton of creative freedom during development, no upper management pressure. Tweet
  • Removing "earthly" satanist symbolism like pentagrams and burning crosses was a conscious decision to make the game world more unique. Tweet
  • Jay agrees that D3 has grown a lot since release, but a learning phase was necessary to get there. Tweet
The more he says the more you wonder how the fuck is this guy still employed.

His posts scream passive aggressive ego tripping as if he wanted to be the new face of the franchise. Yes lets change all those early things people wanted into a several year "learning phase", D3 is the example of to much creative freedom and not enough from the top down saying stop straying from the aesthetic and gameplay that made it good. Now we're stuck with that mongoloid retard abortion of a game that just gets half asses ideas stapled to it and sent off to play with the kids.

Probably won't see another Diablo game in another 10 years and probably no more expansions just microtransaction bullshit rolled out every blizzcon while Blizzard hopelessly tries to get on the e-sports train they completely missed. Stop trying to make HotS a thing and start putting those resources into a competent Diablo team. Not to mention get rid of the god awful mobile game graphics of D3, its such an ugly game for no reason other then "well it worked for WoW".

For all the mongoloid decisions Wilson took, some fucko at blizzard was over him and gave him the green light on everything. Something was very broken inside blizzard management that made all of thisnon sense happen.

Had to do some searching to find out, we get a new gem, buffed legendary for each class, and a single set buffed for each class. Quality of Life changes, monster tweaks, Greater rift density tweaks.

Why does this 20th anniversary event feel like having a birthday party for a terminally ill grandparent on their deathbed telling them they'll pull through but everyone in the room knows they won't.

The 20th aniversary thing is like they all sat down for a meeting on what to do, then they said "ok, what is the bare minimum we could do for this?" and then they decided to do half of that.
