If only it weren't deeply rooted in the past.Play path of Exil will be 100 times better than 4 guaranteed
Believe me it’s not difficult I don’t know the normal play I play exclusively in hardcore mode always.While playing you learn things and by trying out too it’s major fun.Once you get good drops or you build a good weapon till end game it’s easy of course you must watch out.easiest is golems and zombies you didn’t even have to do something they carry you select right nodes on skill treeIf only it weren't deeply rooted in the past.
No ah so you have to check websites, lose xp on death, risk of fucking up you character forever if you do a bad build on an extremly complex skill tree, only a very few viable builds, confusing currencies etc.
It's anachronistic.
I've been playing for almost 10 years now and I agree with you. It's a nightmare for a new player. Needs a huge time commitment to get anywhere. Or you follow a guide and play through the game but still know almost nothing about it.If only it weren't deeply rooted in the past.

or maybe you are just in the minority and most people are happy with mobile/F2P games.We can only blame ourselves for not holding developers & publishers accountable for such atrocities.
Vote with your wallet.
i'd hate to live there. i know it's gambling but not allowing it at all sucks. it should be age restricted (which it actually is and if parents bother being parents) and regulated but outright banning it is stupid.I was wondering why I couldn’t see it in the Dutch App Store:

Yes. With increasing the time you need to grind to get the stronger gear to further continue on in the “game”.Without having played it I'm also going to assume it follows the standard practice or making you feel really powerful at the start and slowly making you feel weaker and weaker as the levels go up, essentially forcing your hand.
I have actually never played Path of Exile, despite hearing about it for… what? Over a decade at this point? Is it available on consoles and what is the monetization scheme like?Play path of Exil will be 100 times better than 4 guaranteed
I am talking about the title.or maybe you are just in the minority and most people are happy with mobile/F2P games.
i haven't spent any money in Immortal yet. Haven't felt any need to but I'm enjoying it and will be more than happy to spend some money in it I've spent some money in games like Genshin, Fortnite, Rocket League, Overwatch, etc. I like buying some loot boxes, skins, etc. I'm an adult and can do what I want with my money and I have control over it. It's gambling yeah but it's fun and I am responsible.
mobile/F2P games are huge and for a reason. they aren't going anywhere because there's $ to be made. if most people were so against them then they wouldn't exist. It's the same reason DLCs got so popular. People are happy to buy them.
not if it's f2pPlay path of Exil will be 100 times better than 4 guaranteed

Not at all, unfortunately. It's how they "get you" really. It's gross, and all you can really do is ignore them. I think the safest bet for any free to play mobile game you're ever curious about is going in expecting the absolute worst monetization so you're not disappointed, lol. Yeah, same. I was surprised it was as decent as it was. The monetization is just awful, but, again, it's not uncommon in that industry.I'm not familiar with mobile games, don't play 'em. Do any of these highly monetized games have an option to simply turn on/off any store/loot/etc options? I get that it defeats the purpose of the 'lure', but would that engender any goodwill and still allow for that model to stay afloat?
Won't be spending a cent on Diablo Immortal, still, really enjoying it for what it is.
Yes it’s available on Xbox and PlayStation 4 and 5 it’s free it’s not pay to win.With controller it’s amazing and you can costomiz how you like on which buttons.I only bought stash tabs over the years a few for a few dollars.but you don’t really need them to enjoy the game.It’s amazing has incredible content especially later in the game everything opens up.You can play normal league where you can die infinity times or like me hardcore which means even if you played 500 hours when you die everything on your character is gone to normal league forever dead in hardcore mode.You should definitely try it it can be in the start overwhelming with the huge skilltree but there is the fun you can combine and make amazing things defensive attack everythingYes.

Path of Exile is free to play but it’s not like mobile games I played this game now for years 1000s of hours and only bought a few stashtabs you don’t need nothing.The content is amazing unbelievable and they keeps everything what came new over the yearsnot if it's f2p
nope f2pPath of Exile is free to play but it’s not like mobile games I played this game now for years 1000s of hours and only bought a few stashtabs you don’t need nothing.The content is amazing unbelievable and they keeps everything what came new over the years

It's not naïve at all man, it's just unfortunately not reality. Though we'd all like to assume they could and would approach things better, but they don't and won't. They just want everyone's attention and money. The worse part is that people ARE throwing tons of money at them, so those people are really just making it worse, lol.Yeah fair enough. I realize how naïve it is to suggest companies might want to 'engender goodwill' when they can, you know, engender goddamn cash instead. I think ill continue to avoid mobile games. Playing this on PC. In any case, so, sooo many other options these days.
The reason why they won't is because of people like you supporting this crap. If people would avoid these games, we would not be in this situation.It's not naïve at all man, it's just unfortunately not reality.

I'm not "supporting" it, just like many others haven't and aren't here. It's the people pouring money into games like this that are genuinely supporting the poor practices of the monetization, not folks checking them out out of curiosity and not spending a dime. Which is me. Leave it alone already. You can boycott all you want, that's fine. But a few people on GAF checking it out casually and aren't spending a cent aren't going to affect the outcome of the F2P mobile gaming industry. Y'all are being way too dramatic, relax.The reason why they won't is because of people like you supporting this crap. If people would avoid these games, we would not be in this situation.
It's as easy as that.
Right? EXACTLY! I have no idea why people are acting like any of this is new, lol. This is all I've been trying to say. But be careful, folks are going to accuse you of dismissing and supporting these practices now! Lmao.Welcome to mobile everyone. This is how f2p games are on mobile since I can remember. Heavily predatory and monetized at every turn.
Why is this shocking people to the point of making videos? Did you expect something fair now all of a sudden?

I never said anything about their approach or monetization being acceptable, nor did I allude to it. But, hey alright man, whatever you say. The back and forth about it is beyond tiring at this point. So believe what you want.Yes you are by promoting the current state of affairs as an acceptable status quo.
Are you playing this game? Because I’m not for precisely the reasons you mentioned.More useless strawmanning.
Nobody is saying that this is new, people keep warning about the anti-consumer practices and asking others not to support crap like this anymore in order to enact much needed change.
Same. Love the game to death. Love the build variety. But I feel bad for new players. Steep learning curve.I've been playing for almost 10 years now and I agree with you. It's a nightmare for a new player. Needs a huge time commitment to get anywhere. Or you follow a guide and play through the game but still know almost nothing about it.

I don't have an issue, honestly. I really don't care, lmao. What originally caught my eye was how you/y'all were originally going about it. The "forum protesting" was being laid on a bit too thick on everyone (here) that you considered a "target" and were, in my opinion, falsely targeting. Add the name calling, condescension, etc. to those that were just trying to cordially talk about the game, and I think a lot of people just got tired of it. I could've easily just muted and moved, but that ain't me.Well what is your frikkin' issue then?
Let people have their reasoned criticism instead of complaining about it. This crap needs to be called out every time it happens. Otherwise things will never change for the better.
You should be glad that others are taking the time to protect your consumer rights. An no, I don't think it is true at all that nothing can be done about it. I'd much prefer raising awareness and responsibilize consumers, but if that doesn't work, legislation needs to happen.
Yeah, there has definitely been a big change at Blizzard and they definitely aren't the same anymore. I still do like their IPs though so if they don't completely screw something up, I will likely continue playing/purchasing their stuff. I think I have almost all their games.Blizzards reputation was destroyed long ago. I dont think Blizzard really care anymore.
This is Era levels of mental illnessfor anyone who personally knows any of the whales who will come into contact with this borderline illegal shit, tell them to get help with their addiction and harass them relentlessly until they find a way to stop paying so much money for useless stuff like this
What class did you play as? I tried necromancer and I had a hard time getting into it, but so far I like necro in Immortal.Yeah, i've been a long time Blizzard fan since i was a kid, and it hasn't been pleasant watching them ever so slowly fall from grace to a point were they're now a joke compared to what the brand represented.
But, D2R is fantastic, it is an incredibly good package. I took a break and recently began playing again in ladder mode and i'm yet again hooked. It's a bottomless pit of addictive fun. I'm planning another 4 hour session as we speak, brewing some coffee.
I'm keeping my hopes up for D4 just because of how well they handled D2R.

Nope, you're guilty too. You support it by playing it.I'm not "supporting" it, just like many others haven't and aren't here. It's the people pouring money into games like this that are genuinely supporting the poor practices of the monetization,
Yes it is like Diablo Immortal smoked out every crazy eyed leftist on GAF. Ofc anyone should be allowed here and I appreciate different opinions. (They don’t) Just fun to see,
Yeah.for anyone who personally knows any of the whales who will come into contact with this borderline illegal shit, tell them to get help with their addiction and harass them relentlessly until they find a way to stop paying so much money for useless stuff like this
This happened when the mommies themselves started to play. The hyper casuals who funded candy crush, farmville, coc etc.Yeah.
When did we get to the point of normalizing this shit?
I'm an old player and I saw the dawn of P2W games. P2W and wallet warriors were HEAVILY shamed and bullied back then, they were pariahs. Useless, pathetic scrubs that can't play without having mommy pay for them to win.
We need to get back to this.
Right.This happened when the mommies themselves started to play. The hyper casuals who funded candy crush, farmville, coc etc.
If I searched one of the Genshin Impact threads, would I find you in there accusing the players of the game in the same way?Nope, you're guilty too. You support it by playing it.
Those pathetic whales don't play games without f2players.
We'll have more and more P2W, scummy, gambling machine games and that's thanks to people like you.
Seriously?If I searched one of the Genshin Impact threads, would I find you in there accusing the players of the game in the same way?
