I started playing Marvel Heroes 4 months before it shut down. I was so upset.

I was in alpha for Marvel Heroes. That shit was BASIC as fuck. I was really sad, gave a lot of feedback. At the time it was like 4 characters, Hawkeye, Black Panther, and two other B-squad type heroes. Their skill twig was the same as D4's, or WORSE. It was like literally the same as D4. It grew a LOT over time and became amazing.
I tried it at release and it was boring as fuck, but I gave it a try when they soft relaunched it and became hooked. I spent far more money on it than I'm comfortable with, but I still really enjoyed the game. Brevik had something really special going there for a while.

I don't know the details, but I never got the impression that he wanted to leave. The game started going downhill before he left.

Was a pretty good game. I think the multitude of characters you could play really kept me playing long after I would have quit another ARPG.
That's nuts. I think I had maybe 2 cosmic'd and a handful of reds. I remember that Degen streamer guy doing them all, but he at least got something out of it from streaming.
I used to care about online only around when D3 first came out, simply because D2 was such an easy/fun game to play while traveling, many of the hotels I was in still had dial-up plugs FFS. Now wifi is everywhere, even the cheap hotels employers put you in.
I'd love a MMO style game in the Diablo universe, but it's going to need the old school Blizz polish for me to get hyped even a little. If Blizz did WoW with its current team, we would all be playing the 30th Everquest expansion about now.

Hi, I am lead of D4 team. Here is a long list of every facet of every successful loot-driven ARPG for the last 20 years. We will have every part of every game you have ever liked in your life and none of the bad stuff.
Seriously what the fuck. That list proves how little they have actually done. This game is 5+ years away, if it ever actually sees the light of day (what was it called, Titan?). We will all be playing our complete immersion VR ARPGs by the time this is released. Not only will the ship have sailed, it will have completed it's lifetime service and been cut up for scrap already.
Core of the entire design is "game as a service" with rolling nerfs to drive skill metas to drive MTX sales. So PoE business model with BOX PRICE AND PAID EXPANSIONS.
And "err on the side of group" is the coup de grace.
No thanks, Blizzard - even though I don't actually think you will ever release this game now, I am no longer interested. What a fucking buzz kill.

Wasn't even close to that level of "dedication" heh, but the most fun I ever had in an ARPG. Became more addicted to MH than any other game except WoW. Still miss it.

I think you have to strike while the iron is hot-- and they failed to do that with a D3 followup.
The date they cancelled the expac was the year to begin development.
