“Diablo 4 is shockingly complex” – User explains why the game seems too easy for many people, hits a sore spot

Diablo 4 is too easy – statements like this come up again and again. Especially compared to its biggest competitor, Path of Exile, whose depth you should have studied, Diablo 4 doesn’t seem very complex. A player counters and says: People make it too easy for themselves. This triggers a heated discussion.

This is what the user says: On Reddit, the user fitsu has now taken up the ongoing discussion about the difficulty of Diablo 4. In his opinion, Diablo 4 would be “terrifyingly complex” if you didn’t let others do the work for you:

Why do people look at guides on leveling up, what skills to take, what Paragon points to take, what glyphs to choose […] and then complain that the game lacks complexity? […] I know I wouldn’t have gotten a single high-tier build without a guide.

In the over 870 comments, many users agree and criticize: You shouldn’t expect too much when 90% of players play the same, far too powerful build. If you take away the challenge, Diablo 4 is of course boring.

Others add: While the spirit-born can master the hardest content in their sleep, they are still trying to figure out how a magician can actually kill opponents on Torment 4.

“Criticism comes from people who want to build their own builds”

However, there are also loud voices against the accusation. User Mileena_Sai replies: Don’t assume that criticism only comes from people who copy everything. Building your own build isn’t that difficult:

1. Choose a skill.
2. Take the unique to the corresponding skill.
3. Collect aspects for the corresponding skill.
4. Fill the rest with damage multipliers.
5. Get as many mythics as possible because they are OP for every build anyway.
6. Select 4 Paragon boards with the most multipliers.
7. Select 5 glyphs with the most multiplicative damage.
8. Maybe your build isn’t usable because it doesn’t exploit bugs.

Some players counter that this plan is a bit oversimplified. The trick is knowing which of these options is best for the build. So it’s not quite as easy as shown.

However, fans are quite unanimous in their opinion that Diablo 4 is definitely less complex than its competitor Path of Exile. However, many players would make the game easier than it really is. There is still an argument among fans, though it’s almost part of the game and Blizzard: “Do we have to complain about every detail?” – Fans say Diablo 4 is much better right now, you just shouldn’t see the bad all the time
