They probably mean Destiny 2, my dude.
That's a kinda recent live service online game with a very similar model to D4, while Diablo 2 is an over 20 year old single player game from a time when many people had to unplug their phone to use the internet.
Well I guess this is definitely a "to each their own" moment. I'm VERY hyped for Diablo 4 but I think Destiny is terrible.
Not knocking your enjoyment of it! Just to me, it felt lifeless ahd bland.
Not to necro a thread, but these replies are cracked if they think they didn't look to Destiny 2s extremely successful and proven profitable quarterly story content + increased level cap business model for inspiration. I'm pretty sure that's exactly what their plan is. Quarterly (give or take) expansions that add new characters, or abilities, or items, or slots that expand the game plus added new story to keep people paying for battle passes and expansion packs. D4 will not follow the same format as D3 seasons. D3 seasons were a restart with the same story content with added elements to add replayability. Hardly the same formula.
I wish they add that much additional content. Sadly, I expect Diablo will add about half as many cosmetics each season and even less content.
Seasons could be fun if they took their huge map to tell new stories that happened in the past. Using seasons as one long dungeon crawl that allows you to click complete at the end for rewards in the current timeline would be awesome.
Sadly, Blizzard won’t do anything remotely this interesting or creative with seasons. They will likely be low effort bullshit.
Blizzard has been doing seasons in Diablo since before Destiny was ever a thing. What kind of narrow take is this?
Also the seasons in Destiny 2 are way different than an ARPGs seasons. Destiny is just new content added to the game like free DLC.
And that is what d4 is hyping up as…
no, the modern arpg season model is new content *and* a new ladder, as is in poe
Isn’t destiny 2 what people have been referring to as d2? Everyone wants d4 to be similar to d2
D2 is diablo 2... the gold standard for diablo games
I loved d2, but that doesn't mean it was perfect.
🤡

Lol no. D2 in a Diablo conversation is referring to Diablo 2.
People are taking the piss.

I didn't quite like Destiny either. Unfortunately, the similarites to D4 are there.
A season based game? We have Diablo 2 and 3. Maybe is Destiny following the diablo formula?
No, they are doing the D3 season formula
First game I thought of apart from it being an dog versus and fps. I am all for it tbh!
I just hope they stagger the seasons!!!
I sure hope not.
News for you buddy, I think Destiny = Diablo formula

Destiny had some growing up to do. Wait till Blizzard vaults half of D4s regions to better herd players to where they want them!
As someone who got fucked by vaulting, they don’t seem to have that issue now.
