I don't honestly know why the decisions that were made, were made. All in all the game was hard enough as it was. There was Master Nightfalls, Raids, and Dungeons. Which I never went to because they were too hard for me. Now I played on the "Basic" mode for one character and went "can they find a balance???" Basic was soooooo easy, and Legendary made me want to throw my controller because I died so much. Where is the mid range that is actually challenging and fun vs so hard you don't want to play any more? Not to mention it here but honestly Diablo has a good structure tier. I don't remember all the level specifically but they had a good number of them. You want super hard go to Nightmare mode. You wanted super easy do super easy. Middle of the road as well. Witch Queen was awesome story and having the legendary modes to play if you wanted the difficulty. This season. I'm not feeling it. All the nerfing of weapons, disabling mods. And we are how many weeks in? 3/4? I can't even begin to do the exotic legendary this time. Coming up with a build just to have it nerfed or equipment disabled sucks. The biggest part is it is PvE!!!!! As long as the players are enjoying the game who cares if something is OP? WHO is is hurting????? Figure out the balance for PvP and leave things alone in PvE. And then there is the leveling with friends. The game is made HARDER if you add in more people. Making it so if you want to pass something you have to play ALONE to beat it. Which again, I like playing with my Fiancee and friends so why would we play a game together that scales the difficulty UP when you have more people in it. Again it was already challenging before all this new stuff was added for us now....... he doesn't even want to play anymore. I used to play all 3 toons hours a week. This season I've logged less hours than ever and only really played 1 mostly, a little on a second but nothing on my third. No desire to die over and over and over again. That to me is no fun and isn't "challenging" it's stupid......... challenging is puzzles, jumping mazes, finding secrets. Not "where can I hide so I don't die and can pass this level just so I can get through the main story line". And another thing: don't make commendations a triumph of anything that you need for a quest. The intent is for us to look at someone and actually have an idea of how good they are, not how good are they a finding a way to maximize them to get the end triumph for the most commendation. Dumbest thing ever................... I hope things change and something happens with the next season. I bought it so I'm going to play it, but minimum and not getting anywhere near as much enjoyment out of it as I used to....... also hoping they tie things together. I can't make heads or tails of the story line right now............ :-(
