tbh diablo immortal have one gambraking problem and thats gems system.
game its good graphically & have ok story
skills are impactfull and have some varietty customization with legendary gear (could be a bit deeper tbh) + they combo with each other which is ok for me
its cross paltform so thats allways nice
there is a bit short of skills you can access under finger/keyboard, some extra movment skill allways accessible would go a long way
about gems problem give 10 legendary crests for weekly activities and bam all problems solved we have perfect game (after fixing some minor bugs to)
im not sure where you got that % but for sure not from wow (beside pets and mounts maybe )
You can chose spec you want loot for, which ussually make 1 guaranted item per 5 ppls divided by ~2 items for your spec usually = 100% / 5 / 2 = ~10% (20% for any item, 10% for specific one, in case of biger loot table it will go down a bit obviously, 3 posible items = ~7%, 4= 5% and so on although having 4 items for spec from one given boss is rather rare thing maybe some world boss and im doubtfull about it to )
there are 3 coins/week with build in pitty (guaranted loot after 9-10 rolls) that you can use for extra chances wherever you want.
Items are tradable inside party/raid, assuming someone have same/better ilvl in sloot already.
Guild master thing ended when they implemented personall loot in all activities
We can talk about grate vault problems with upgrading gear in late game where chances are really fu**** up but thats a bit different storry and you will never be locked from content anyway even if really unlucky
yea its ussually later than sooner tho
also to artisan energy be fair it would require cutting reqired energy by almost half
For example if you see 20% hone chance artisan should charge up after 4-5 fails, that would be fair system.
The way you upgrade gear in Diablo Immortal is easier… gems that you slot into gear is good so far. I have heard that you will need to buy gems with the blue orbs (which you buy with real money).
I haven’t got that far into the game yet, and when it costs real money, I will stop playing.
Skins cost around the same as skins in Lost Ark. In fact, there seems to be a lot in Diablo Immortal that is very much like Lost Ark… except Lost Ark isn’t anywhere near as bad as Diablo in grabbing your money.
But will it stay that way? Yoz’s Jar in Lost Ark is going to be expensive. A full set of skin will cost around $500 with some kind of gambling system where there is a chance you won’t get what you want… maybe even a fail.
So Diablo is not the only guilty one.
And dont say that Diablo is the guilty one because they are MORE guilty… letting Lost Ark off because they are less guilty.
One is worse than the other, but they are both guilty of predatory tactics to get players money.
of course it is easy to say it this way.
now they are tricking people into buying their crap. you may think, ehy buy it, people are stupid etc. well there are a lot people who fall for schemes.
you know they could just sell thr game for 10000 per copy, but they are not. why? because nobody would buy it. but there are people who spend 10000 within 1 month.
difference? p2w, people want to show off, wants to be “owning” others by upgrading stuff so they can one shot other or whatever
The fact that you need to compare this game to Diablo Immortal says it all. It’s like saying “hey at least this mass murderer isn’t as bad as Ted Bundy!”
game would also make a lot of money of they just would sell skins, nothing else in the shop.
capitalism in this case is just greed. Obviously it is a business and it is all about what they can get away with before people leave the game.
unfortunately people got slowly soften up over the last years with small stuff (skins, skin packages, wow token, char boosts, etc.) now peoplr already think stuff like ark pass is totally fair not not predatory at all when it provides more mats than 2 month of playing the game lol
give it sometime, as new content comes out and more and more flashy garbage is available, they will slowly and continually choke us all out to the level at which the next best thing is, and how trashy and predatory they are.
i give it a year from now, when only RMT and bots exist, that is when the REAL P2W shines, they will have to resort to keeping who they have THEN, playing, and NOT worry about retaining new players. Because at that point it wont be a option.
Capitalism is an inherently greedy economic system.
It is fair, especially when there is a free version of the Pass.
Every time I see someone call skins or passes as predatory I assume they’re very young and still new to online gaming and/or mmo’s.
As someone that has previously played actual P2W Korean MMO’s in the bast, Lost Ark pretty damn fair. Perfect? Nah. But way better than another other Korean MMO currently available now and in the past.
in what sense? price/efficiency?
the free part literally doesnt matter at all. if there was no free part it would be absolutely the same result. you are selling a giant honing package that is p2w. you leave it out, you are months behind. fair price? wellthat is what they want you to think. by your answer you can see it absolutely works. you think it is great value and fair even though it ia no difference than buying royal crystals for leap stones
never said skins are predatory.
skins are optional content and they can charge 5k for it, wouldnt complain.
thinks that advance you in the game where ilvl content blocks you, is a whole different thing
At least you can get the stuff through grinding and pity system, but while diablo immoral you can’t get any of the stuff without paying. Not sure you seen endgame farming in diablo immoral rift where if you pay extra, you get actual good loot and if you dont pay, you get shit loot. Even if u farming normally without paying, it’s way worse cause at least lost ark everyone starts at the same level of drop rate. Even if someone pay to buy someoene stuff from AH, you still have to wait for people actually selling it.
well yes diablo immortal was destined to be a trash game from the announcement. i mean it is fine for me because it is a chinese mobile game.
if people play mobile games they are used to stupid mechanics. it just got ported to pc for whatever reason.
for me it is not a diablo game. and i hope this game gets majorly trashed in the west so that d4 could be better
games should keep the money aspect to buy a copy, a sub or cosmetics in my opinion. p2w ruins games. LA is somewhat okish in that regard because tou really cannot win anything at all in the end.
but nevertheless LA is p2w and it wouldnt be necessary but chinese and korean game industry poisoned the whole industry now already and those kids gambling their minds away.
i played a korean grinder a long time before and there was not p2w for the first years, later they introduced more and more cash stuff when it went f2p from a sub model. the game died very fast after that.
guess now it would work as the customers got softened up into that direction already
Well it is to be expected when they first did Diablo immoral reveal. People even white knight blizzard after that boo and think it was april’s joke. Cause literally their quality of their game has degraded. They can no longer live up to their golden era of actual quality games. D3 sure has better graphics, but their gameplay system and how their whole entire games replay was worse than D2. OW2 is basically the same game as OW1. Blizzard is no longer Blizzard, it is just Activision running their game now. I would expect D4 is gonna be the same as OW2, where it is the same as D3.
I agree that LA is p2w in certain aspects of the game, but at least they didnt go overboard on where actual gear isnt stuck behind a paywall like gems in Diablo Immoral.
The problem with this is that we get stupid people think oh because all gaming industry is doing this it should be normal. NO IT IS NOT NORMAL. There are even people thinking about how loot boxes as normal like the Yorz jar w/e that shit is. People only argument with this shit is, you dont need it dont buy it. Yeah, but people want things and dont want to gamble for it. I rather pay for a product and get the product i want just like i want to get a BMW car and actually get a BMW car. GW2 actually sells their skins not having to go through loot boxes.
Because Lost Ark’s less upfront psychological tactics are more moral?
Games can make money without price gouging. This game’s primary purpose is to be a casino in disguise, not to be a game. Every aspect of it reeks of greed. Nothing is designed with player enjoyment in mind.
