I forgot to mention a bit about World Bosses so here it is: they are TOO easy. Even in World tier 4 at level 70 the groups I have been in have demolished the WBs. I often would not even die at all despite being 20 levels lower. My feedback for Blizzard would be to increase the difficulty of mechanics with each subsequent World tier as opposed to simply more dps and health. I would love to hear your thoughts on the game!
A lot of good points. I think they went a little too safe in terms of itemization. A lot of the aspects are essentially set item bonuses designed to allow viability to specific builds. There were definitely more interesting things they could have done with itemization - or even moving aspects to an extended paragon board, or skill passive tree/system. Allowing full trading on loot, removing legendaries as aspect vessels, and changing itemization a bit would make D4 a real contender in terms of build choice and loot casino design.
"Safe" is definitely a common theme in this game. I cannot blame Blizzard given the controversies and problems they have had over the last few years for taking this approach. Additionally, for most casuals it's not going to matter too much. I do appreciate some of your points with the itemization. On one hand, I am a bit relieved that trading is not a thing since I found myself spending hours and hours trading in Diablo 2 as opposed to actually playing the game. On the other hand, sometimes finding specific gear can take a similar amount of time or longer so one could argue if I find something for another person or class (also duplicates) that I could use those to trade for other items I need. They would need to change the "smart" loot system or at least tune it a bit. Cheers!
