Make Loot More Special and Exciting
4 Things We Want to See in “Diablo 4”
Now let’s make one thing perfectly clear: I love the effort that went into Diablo 3’s set bonuses. They radically changed how classes could play, and it’s something that not only do I hope continues in Diablo 4, but I think other loot-based games such as MMORPGs, and hybrids like Destiny, should take inspiration from.
However, Diablo 3 upped the loot ante to an extreme where it became similar to Borderlands, a game in which most drops don’t actually matter at all. Even those awesome set pieces, you probably already have plenty of what you technically need, you’re just looking for optimal stat distribution. That’s all well and good, but it’s not as exciting as actual, rare, drops that get you pumped up instantly. As currently stands, it’s more a case of, hey, neat, that dropped, let me check the stats… OK never mind, it’s trash.
Again, like the skill points earlier on, I’m not suggesting that the current system gets thrown out entirely. It’s great that there is so much gear the rains all over you when you complete stuff, but there has got to be a way to inject more of the “OMG” back when you see something drop.
That does it for our suggestions, What do you want to see in the next Diablo game? Let us know in the comments below!
