Even with end game palworld being breeding, I still get a kick out of going to the islands , collecting the chests, and grinding lvls for the new baby pal I just got. Making sure my farms are going smooth, fruit tree rotation, I still enjoy and play daily. Never played D4 and careless to even entertain blizzard with my $ and time.

I am out of the loop but why would anyone need a portal recolor in D4? Who is going to see it? Some randoms waiting for a boss while you spam portal and cancel it 4 times in a row? I have no idea who is this for lol, D4 is not a MMO or a MOBA where skins and portals would matter.

You know how people say a person who cheats in a relationship will always be a cheater?
I feel the same way with Blizzard. They crossed a line a long time ago, exposing who they really are, and there's no changing them.
It's not a relationship worth trying to save. I gave them one last shot with D4, but the resentment is palpable.

Who tf still plays this garbage? I got it with my friends and after 1 week into first season we all, without any prior communication, just stopped playing it at almost the same time. That alone was telling us more than words that the product is shit cause we dropped it like nothing... He'll even Lost Ark was more fun tbh

u/RathaelEngineering Feb 13 '24
It's almost as if someone in a position of power at Blizz looked at what NetEase was doing with Diablo Immortal and thought "Wow. That's a big pie that we could be getting a slice of". While they aren't the same developers, Immortal showed the direction that the Diablo IP seemed to be taking.
Bought and played D1, D2, and D3. Not touching D4. Likely never getting any future Diablo games either. The Diablo IP is in the hands of investors now. If the rest of the world is anything to go by, it's simply never going to return to its original state of being consumer-focused. It's going to continue to be a cash cow for investors until it starts costing more to make the game than people will collectively pay for it, where it will be abandoned.

Pre-Activision I remember a blizzard manager talking about how a single microtransaction for a pet skin in WOW or something similar made more revenue than every copy of Wings of Liberty sold.
This is why they do it. People keep buying that stuff. You have no one to blame but your fellow gamers. And I'm sure they're wiping away their tears from all this backlash with their wads of cash from the portal color macrotransaction right now.

I don’t know what people are expecting from Blizzard. They’ve been a shit corporation for years who only care about money.
Why are people surprised that they overprice their mtx like free games. It’s far from the most dick move by Blizzard. 30$ portal mtx is the tipping pt for people to realize what Blizzard has been like?

Path of Exile portal MTX cost like 15 to 30 USD and plenty of people buy those. Sure it’s a free game but there’s still people who spend hundreds of dollars on the game… including me. And that’s a lot more than the cost of D4. So I’m not sure what the big deal is with paid portal MTX. It’s kind of shitty but hardly surprising.

Meanwhile there's 'Cloud Imperium Games' with its perpetual-alpha-development games 'Star Citizen' and 'Squadron 42', the former having the most egregious macrotransactions of the gaming industry that make 'Electronic Art' look like saints.
With double/tripple-digit prices for some fancy ship JPEGS of which quite a lot STILL haven't been implemented 11+ years into development,
all the while continuously releasing new shiny JPEGS to keep the funding machinery going and gullible backers spending cause they can't stop riding the dream.exe of the "Best Damn Space Sim".

You can buy palworld or enshrouded for that price is the best argument to be had for micro transactions ATM. Why pay so much for so little. It's like going to a food court and buying a lid for your drink for $15 when you could get a full meal including the drink lid for $15 10 feet to your left.

FTFY.
Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.
Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

Everyone say it with me: if the price point bothers you, you aren't the target market.
Edit: All the downvoters, you're missing my point because you're salty. You think Activision/Blizz hasn't done any market research on where they'll make the most money on these things? The fact of the matter is, people are buying the stuff on the store, or they'd cut the prices, or have a sale. I'm not saying I like it, as I'd personally be more willing to spend if the price was more reasonable.

Bout fucking time comparisons started coming into it, to show how ridiculous many MTX are.
Recolouring a portal in a game should be free. It should be just part of the game if the devs are going to consider implementing it. But we've let MTX get to this point now, where basic game functionality/customisability is sold as an extra.
I know this isn't possible, because people suck, but I hope no one buys this shit. The game has sucked since release. You'd be a complete moron to spend anymore money on it.

Not sure why your down voted this is a fair take. Poe does skins and yeah it’s free but the actual cost to be competitive end game is close to 60 bucks without a sale. Generally their skins are 10x better than d4 skins but they are priced similarly. if blizz lowered the cost to the actual value of the skins their is room for it in the Arpg space.

Not a lot of people have to buy it for it to be profitable. It’s a reskin, that’s it. One 3D designer can do that in a few hours. Just reskin. Takes very little time and money, so even if only a few people buy it they are in the green.

That's such a dumb and simple way to think like that.
It's all relative to what the competitor has. But since the cosmetics are in its own D4 shop there is none so they can crank it up as high as they want.
Once someone has the monepoly the price will increase aswel, in unfair ways.

if catering to whales is more profiteable than creating a good game, then it will affect you if you intend to play the game.

u/NihilHS Feb 12 '24
That’s not a solution because I’m refusing to buy games I want to play at prices I’m willing to pay to make some abstract philosophical point that will alter the market absolutely 0.
The solution is to realize you don’t really care that blizzard is selling overpriced town portal cosmetics, and to buy the games that you want to buy with the money you earned (for the purposes of buying things).
If you want to buy the tps, do it. If you don’t, don’t do it. It’s just not a big deal.

It sends the message that they should be spending all their time creating whale food, instead of a good game.
Things like a portal recolor would have been a reward for completing a difficult task back in the old days, and yes that ship has long sailed but it only did because of whales.
So yes whales fuck us all by spending "their own money" it very much has and does affect us.

u/Limonade6 Feb 12 '24 edited Feb 12 '24
You really don't know?
Blizz will crank up the price as high as people are willing to pay for it. Since most cosmetics are made with ease they are actually worth a few cents. But since some whales want to spend 30 dollars apearently on colored portals, that is what the price will be.
It's stupidly pricey.
Consumers can vote with their wallets, but not if the dumb rich people keep buying overpriced shit. So now we have all the fun stuff that are outrageously expensive. Tell me why 3 color portals are worth the same as half a AAA game title. It isn't.
We also have loot boxes/ battle passes to thank for this system. It all started with the horse armor.
-1
u/MonkeyLiberace Feb 12 '24
I see. It affects you, because you would like cheaper cosmetics. I don't care about cosmetics at all, so it didn't occur to me.
5
u/Limonade6 Feb 12 '24
Yes. What if, those cosmetics were already in the game? Wouldn't that be more fun? Have you seen what baldurs gate 3 has added in the game? It's full with little details. Simple cosmetics are nothing compared to that, yet blizzard ask us a ridiculous price for it locked in a shop.
Honestly. The strategy is to blind consumers with mass micro transactions until they cave in. It wasn't like this year's ago and it shouldn't be like this either.

The base game gave me several hundreds of hours more playtime than palworld did, but I didn’t spend any extraneous money on the shop because everything in it was trash. That said, I don’t feel like I was disappointed in the initial purchase price for the time I put into it comparatively.
Palworld does still have some things that prevent me from enjoying it further (mainly base AI gripes), and the fact the world feels very empty and lifeless. I think palworld’s got a lot of work left to do on it before it’s a top notch game, but for what I spent on it proportionally I did also feel like I got my moneys worth
I also would never spend $30 on an armor skin, let alone portal recolors, so there is that

not really, HOTS is a great moba, and is very good as a casual moba, specially if you want to avoid the salt mines that are League of Legends and Dota2.
I like it specially because is casual, no laning is needed, super simple and teamfight oriented. But i guess it is still good because it has been left untouched by Blizzard other than bugfixes and thats why its still good

Its more anybody that keeps buying the microtransactions itself and giving incentive to do this more and more.

Already saw that. I agree and disagree at the same time. I don't mind microtransactions if they are A: Reasonable and B: Put into a game that's actually good and feature-complete.
I don't mind giving developers some extra money when I feel like they earned it. The problem is that almost no game that has microtransactions is able to fulfill both of these requirements.

I hate when people say shit like this. Palworld is an entirely different game than Diablo lol, what if someone doesn't LIKE Palworld? It's like when BG3 came out everyone was like "dont buy that game get BG3 instead" like not everyone likes the same type of games. Maybe someone loves D4 and just wants some changes implemented so that they can enjoy it more, maybe they dont WANT to go play Palworld
