Small indie companies, man.

Comment by OneBakedWalrus

I dont see any good or exciting changes here. No noteworthy changes, mainly cosmetic garbage , Smaller damage numbers, and ANOTHER complete loot rework (s4 was the first but thats being scrapped AGAIN, in favor of this new system, which looks terrible btw)
The biggest issue i have is the number squish. Diablo is all about getting the biggest possible damage number you can. Why get rid of that? Its a huge turn off and the re work of the reworked loot? Why? You JUST re worked loot. Its still bad sure but the new loot system is MUCH MUCH worse. This game goes from bad to worse every season, no wonder everyone is jumping ship except those paid shills like rob , woodijo and pownyhory

Depends on the class honestly. I always end up hoarding way too many uniques "just in case" and then never use half of them.
