D3 had seasons where you did things and got points towards cosmetics and titles. This was all included with the game and you just had to put the work in to earn them.
D4 took that and said "What's this? Something that isn't asking players for money? Wow how can this be?" and turned it into a battle pass.
I posted another comment here about what the battle pass actually offers and why I uninstalled.
D3 was also a shit show due to the market and in game transactions on launch iirc
I haven't played since d2 because blizzard have been greedy little fucks since then
You remember correctly, at launch D3 had the RMAH (real money auction house). It was a bit of a mess and they ended up removing it from the game not long after launch.
I had no idea they removed it! The launch just left me thinking "yep that's blizzard now"
Is it anywhere on par with 2 today? it seems really casual and wow-looking back then too
Path of Exile is the closest thing I've played to a worthy D2 successor. D3 was fun and worth the money, but isn't really like D2. D4 has been fun so far too, but I'm still on the fence as they obviously have a lot to sort out, just like they did with D3. Definitely wouldn't say I regret buying D4 at this point, it just needs work.
Honestly games from that era just had a "simple complexity" and a difficulty that doesn't seem to exist with modern games. And that seems to apply across genres.
