Well, the boycott would be more in response to a recent patch that was released. The expectation would be that a show of low engagement due to the patch, at the start of the 1st season for the game, would necessitate a roll back of some of the changes - to be fair all I've read and seen is that the patch nerfed so much that people are dealing half the damage they used to, and getting less experience for their troubles. I'm early enough in the game that I likely can't even tell the difference, but for players in the end game, it's wild.
Just read the patch notes and it sounds like the classic whining that MMO hardcores do every time something changes… seems to me like this only effects the try-hards who have been taken advantage of broken mechanics and bugs to dominate and faceroll everything through end game…
I’m only level 57 but I’ve finished the campaign and am just working my way through TIII stuff… so maybe I’ll see it later… but it didn’t look terrible to me. 🤷🏼♂️
The thing people don't realize is that with ARPGs you NEED to nerf shit or everything is gonna get out of control really quick, you're gonna end up with some D3 shit where you're doing 45 billion dps on a monster that has 900 trillion HP. All these ADD players just want to zoom around the whole map one shotting everything on screen and getting to max level with perfectly rolled gear without even trying. Then they complain that there's no content after a week.
PREACH! 100% correct.
