Comment on [Game] Diablo 4 is coming to Steam
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 8 months agoDiablo 3 had a lot of issues early on with being an awful grind and punishing multiplayer, part of why I’ve held off on buying 4 is I wanted to give it time to get polished like Diablo 3 was over its life cycle.

The D3 issue wasn't that it was "grindy", it was that they tailored & balanced the entire thing around the real money auction house. They fully expected you to waste money there to gear your character to make it through the game (namely the last difficulty where a lot of enemies could just oneshot you from out of screen).

Yup. And I dont even mind the grind in d3. But the issue is the grind has to actually feel rewarding and feel like you are progressing.
