That’s a massive barrier to entry
DM: Diablo 4 finds that the skill tree and the Paragon boards are only complicated at first glance and actually easy to understand. Asmongold agrees, but would like an even more complex system.
Turning to the early game of Diablo 4, Asmongold mentions that the early game experience for the barbarian and druid is less fun than the other classes. Just change the modifiers on the skills and the problem is solved
How does Asmongold find the endgame? Above all, Asmongold sees the repetition of collecting tasks and increasing the reputation in the seasons as problematic.
I find it problematic that players may have to re-farm reputation and do time-consuming side quests again in the seasons. That’s a massive barrier to entry. I don’t think I’ll play a Diablo season after the first if I have to do it all more than twice.

Many other players are also afraid of the upcoming seasons in Diablo 4.
In the reaction, he especially agrees with the criticism regarding casual players. DM: Diablo 4 thinks very few casual players would get the Lilith Stauns or level the Paragon board. Asmongold would like an item to help find the Lilith statues without having to look.
The difficulty of the new Hack’n Slays is also mentioned: Many players find Diablo 4 too easy. Asmongold finds the difficulty good. It is particularly suitable for casual players and the 4 world levels offer a good balance.
Asmongold praise the side quests and the environment of the world. They’re cool, especially for casual gamers. He would like more in this direction.

The nerfs are also criticized
What’s the problem with the nerfs? The balance patches and nerfs are mentioned in the video. While Asmongold feels Whirlwind Barbarian needed a nerf, he doesn’t like the playstyle the nerfs require. The Twitch streamer criticizes the forced rotation to be able to trigger the good skills.
It feels bad to use the builder skills.
Asmongold describes the stats in Diablo 4 as boring. Above all, according to him, the subdivision of the different types of damage in Diablo 3 is better and more understandable.
Asmongold especially praises the campaign of Diablo 4
But there is also a place for praise in the video. The campaign in Diablo 4 feels Asmongold as a 10 out of 10. It is better than in Lost Ark or Path of Exile. With that he also agrees with DM:Diablo 4 that casual players are the most important point for Diablo 4 and not the hardcore players.
