Diablo-style ARPGs have their roots firmly planted in Rogue. "Casual" features like respecing aren't going to go over well in any of those communities.

Same with item drops. Trading has become a huge part of the genre, and having the majority of drops actually be viable for your current build would really hurt the game's economy.

Plenty of perfectly viable builds get nerfed through updates, including ones that specialised in ranged weapons (except the lightning shaman). Respec allows for experimentation, the game on the easier difficulties allowed pretty much any sensible build to be playable. Harder modes, you have to follow the community uber build almost 1:1.

That's kind of the point. Some people have played roguelikes for decades and never beaten them. That's the type of game that Diablo-style ARPGs draw inspiration from. You want a casual feature, so you can beat a hardcore difficulty. Just play on the difficulty that's suited for your style of play. You know, the ones where any sensible build is viable. There's no shame in that at all.

Mostly in the negative part of my review.

More info on the loot system overhaul.




Expanding on the smarter loot system - the weighting would simply read your class/classes and drop those +skill modifiers applicable "Occultist's blah blah" or "Arcanist's blah blah" at a higher rate. This rate could be something like 30%.

So 70% of the time you still get inapplicable loot for your toon, giving you ample possibility to get junk useless loot, or if you are lucky, maybe something for your alt.

This smarter loot system should be smarter though, since we are innovating. Based on dominant damage types done, it would then drop applicable "blah blah of Venom" etc. depending on if your 3 main damage types are Poison or DOTs like Acid. It doesn't have to be 3, could be even 4, if for some reason you are building some gimped character that would never survive Ultimate.

That is all.

The numbers can be tweaked obviously, I would actually say the opposite, I want 70% something applicable for my toon on my current playthrough so the majority isn't junk loot.

That was a really good, and fair review. I wish you could respec attributes & masteries too. More than an little pissed that my Soldier/Pyro riflewoman didn't meet the exact 1:1 spec to be even remotely viable on HC Nightmare. I really don't understand those who are so religiously opposed to any respec option in ARPGs.
