I wanted to get some tips on Rogue and hopefully some build ideas, and holy Tyrael, is that place a cesspool of toxicity. If you havent played the game, from the opinions of the locals you’d had thought this game is the worst thing since WW2, every class is basically unplayable and unless you can steamroll bosses 20+ higher than you in nightmare dungeons, your opinion is basically worthless. Any interesting discussion gets swamped by trolls and unconstructive spiteful comments. I had to stop going there because I felt it actually impacted my enjoyment of the game.
Anyone else had the same experience with the official forums?
Reddit is largely the same. I understand caring deeply for a game, wanting it to be the best it can be, I also have major grips with Blizzard as a company, but damn, D4 released very well, there’s no denying that.
This is actually my biggest reason for using Lemmy, and this community specifically, because it seems much more chill. People on Reddit that are at level cap crying about how much they hate the game. Its ridiculous
Sadly it is pretty prevalent here too. The vocal minority seem to dominate everything these days.
Yeah, I thought the two subreddits were pretty bad… and then I visited the Battle.net forums. Holy crap.
Battle.Net forums, regardless of the game, have always been a miserable experience. You have severely pedantic developers and admins. Then you have some of the most neckbearded min/max players on the internet. They will get into squealing arguments over 5pts of DPS on a WOW character build. It is truly an awful place to hang out.
