Recent Blackburn/McAuliffe interview feedback.

“There are more ways to play than just smashing the boss.” Sorry not sorry, but this is incredibly tone deaf. Smashing the boss is how you get the LOOT….. in this LOOTer shooter, the fastest. That’s where the rewards come from. That’s the obstacle, and “smashing it” is MUCH more often than not the most efficient way to finish the activity. Yet reasonable criticism for lesser used things is met with the dismissive notion of a vocal minority being loud about it in an echo chamber. You have a system in place for raids where you can farm the boss 100+ times during the rotation week(once it’s actually in the rotation), and still not see the exotic drop. Then there’s dungeons which have no RNG safety net(focusing or crafting) like every other activity in the game, so people have to farm them WAY more than any other activity just to get a desired legendary weapon roll. What’s the best way to deal with these dated reward mechanics? Smashing the boss as quickly as possible over and over again until you get the drop. Is it really surprising that people play this way and cling to what’s best for “just smashing the boss.” Again, that yields the loot. It’s like you don’t even understand your own reward systems and how it causes people to play. We really are reverting back to the same issues where reasonable criticism is just brushed off as “you don’t know what you really want or how you really want to play” aren’t we?

  • These guys have been out of touch for a very long time now. They even broke their own game when they launched vanilla D2 and it was so broken that millions left and never came back because of their out of touch behavior. Even their own main investor, Activision left this game to rot because they know even them can’t save this ailing game. Hahahahahahaha! That’s how out of touch these guys are. Game has been passed around at many different hands and lead personnel, some of which are not even real game developers, that the game doesn’t have a true identity anymore. That’s because they themselves don’t know what they’re doing. The guys who had the vision of what this game was supposed to be are long gone and no longer works here. The only identity it will leave as it’s legacy is becoming a dying cash cow being milked all the way to the grave. Hahahahahahaha! There is nothing here. Just a dressed up sugar coated cow carcass. Welcome to hollowness!
