"We want to make sure each Legendary has its own identity," Diablo 4 Gold Game Director Luis Barriga explains. "What we would like to avoid, entirely, was Diablo 4 at which there were those Legendaries mostly leftover from vanilla which did not have any additional Legendary affixes. It may be something very specific, or something which's more useful to more builds across all classes such as Stone of Jordan. ''``There's a Barbarian mace that changes your Upheaval to create a fiery subject of effect," Luis continues. "That's an example that changes a very particular agility, and we can see it becoming a build-specific piece for the Barbarian class. But we'll have a combination."
It is here where we see how it will evolve and change to suit Diablo 4's design but also can see the loot philosophy of Diablo 4 proceed more. Legendary Items won't merely concentrate on abilities like items with affixes in Diablo 4, there's a sense of diversity. The Stone of Jordan at Diablo 4 adds Skill Points to all abilities and the design staff is actively seeking to avoid producing builds or ways to play leave those choices up to the participant. Perhaps the biggest difference in comparison with loot in Diablo 4, is how the game will treat Set Items. The be all end all, by ensuring they're not.
"We feel like using Diablo 4 it got into a place where you couldn't actually play your build, your manner," Luis admits. "It was essentially, you're likely to pick among these four collections and that's it. We are making sure that sets do not dominate in Diablo 4." To achieve this the team has a solution that is very simple, make sure Legendary Items are the alternative that is more powerful. With countless being designed and refined and inserted to the match, create diversity determining how you might want to play and which fosters player creativity with.
Another piece of the puzzle is that the re-introduction of Runewords with cause and impact Runes that may socket to things adding nuance to possible build choices. "We feel as though with Diablo 4 it got into a place where you could not really play your own build, your way. It was basically, you are likely to pick among these four sets and that is it." A strategy that extends to the way the staff will balance the loot and fine tune development and the total speed of buy Diablo IV Gold. Though specific details aren't available.
