That's the best way to enjoy any live service game in my experience. It feels to ridiculous to say this so early on, but maybe come back when there's new loot, like when a season starts. If and when you feel like you've had enough, you can stop and play something else. The important thing to remember is that you're only supposed to stay on the treadmill as long as you want.
Here again, a post-surpassing comment weighs in: "You farm gear to make it easier to farm more gear," MillerLiteMondays writes, presumably while enjoying a Miller Lite on this fine Monday.ĭiablo is the ultimate loot treadmill, and Diablo 4 is just its latest incarnation. The relative Power of my character compared to the content always roughly stays the same.
DUNGEONS 2 POPULATION POINTS UPGRADE
Marrying arguments over itemization and level scaling, BigFudgere laments that "When I level up and upgrade my gear, the world around me simultaneously just levels up with me. That doesn't strike me as any more fun than what we currently have." but again, sometimes it seems like some people want to do nothing but stand still in town and grind dungeons for six hours while they slurp down a milkshake. "I agree some things can be tuned better, and I suspect the live service nature of the game will actually be a net positive in terms of ironing out the endgame. Rather than the heavily upvoted post itself, I'm intrigued by a comment from HiccupAndDown which has more votes than the post itself: One player posits that " the endgame has too much intentional friction," laying into tiny inconveniences that add up and consume time. Level scaling comes up in both arguments, and the two seem to inadvertently frame the kind of progression plateau that's common to new action-RPGs: progression feels really good until it doesn't, and then it picks up again once you unlock some new system or affix.
I've particularly enjoyed the contrast between two posts on the main Diablo subreddit arguing that " progression isn't satisfying" and " progression is super satisfying," with the former becoming one of the hottest posts on the sub. There is one unquestionably positive side effect, though, and that's co-op scaling for players at totally different levels. This system can also blur the line between what's a Big Endgame Threat and what's a Regular-Ass Skeleton.Īgain, I'd expect to see this perceived problem improve as people get better at the game, but level scaling is a standout subject in the great Diablo 4 launch debates. This keeps the challenge alive even when revisiting earlier content, but some reckon it's weakened Diablo 4's sense of power and progression, and potentially undermined its tiered difficulty system. Perhaps the fiercest debates are centered around Diablo 4's level scaling, which ensures that enemies stay close to your power level as you fight to reach Diablo 4's max level.
