  • You’re right. I didn’t even buy it pre order because I hate doing that and never will. So, after the game was launched, I watched some streams, the game seemed fun and no really big complaints anywhere. A couple of friends also bought the game, and told me it was fun.

    And, to be honest, they weren’t wrong. The game WAS fun… Until you end the story and it’s just boring.

    I played on both betas too and did enjoy the gameplay and such. Couldn’t wait for more of the story…

    So that’s how I ended up buying it 1week or so after release.


  • Honestly, having know this I wouldn’t have bought D4 in the first place.

    It was expensive as fuck for a game that I played a week at most, and got boring. Not saying the game isn’t great on some aspects. The story and graphics are amazing but… other than that it’s not that interesting late game.

    Spending 60€+ on a game that has battle passes and an ingame shop on top of it, for them to add one expansion a year after, yearly? Wtf

    It’s true what they say. Blizzard has gotten greed af.

    This has probably been the last game I will ever buy from them. There are already Diablo 4 private servers, I think I’ll just wait until those catch up with those expansions…

    (reposting from the D4 community since this community is larger and likely will have more discussion here)

    I could’ve swear I wrote this… Only thing I’d say is to pick your WoW server well. If you like the story pick a server than has good scripting. Imo the one that has the best scripting is TauriWoW but they are still on Pandaria. If you want something more modern try Felsong. Still alright scripting bit naturally, the closer you get to retail on Xpacks the less polished they are on private servers.

    Also, FFXIV trial is a bit limiting. If you’re playing alone you might be alright but with friends on trial it’s not so fun… You can’t start parties. You can’t PM/DM people… To play together with my SO, the workaround we found was to go to limsa to beg someone to create a party for us and then they leave the party, leaving just the 2 of us there.

    Also, but not least important. Unlike WoWs trial, on FFXIV if you ever pay for the sub/buy the game, there’s no going back to free trial. This is actually why I don’t play ffxiv that much…

    (sorry the text got this big, didn’t mean to :( )

    Massively agree with gw2.

    Overall good costumer practices (not perfect). Buy to play, no worries that time is running out and you need to grind like a maniac for the next days…

    Great community and story.

    WOW is algo a good option, if you’re going to a private server. Those seem more fun honestly and less bullshit
