This doens't happen in D4.

All these points are not opinions, they are objective facts, I would like GGG to correct these small flaws so the game is closer to perfect.

True in D4 u literally need to be brainrotten to be able to die.

I think POE is a different genre than D4 and it's pointless to compare them.

All those features you describe sound like a MMORPG, like Diablo has become WOW for casuals.

Poe is something different and it shouldn't be anything like Diablo 4.

Tldr Blizzard hasn't made any good games since Diablo 2. The warrior is a man and the sorceress is a woman.

A couple things sure, but one game is hollow and soulless and is literally missing 2/3rds of what makes an ARPG gameplay loop work.

But okay it does a couple things better. I honestly agree with the OP's list except mounts, I fuckin hate mounts, they're always extremely immersion breaking and just become a obligatory button you must press every time you enter an instance, or finish killing monsters. Mount speed replaces character speed. I'd much rather just have speed on boots and skip the lame "instantly teleports under your ballsack" dumb shit.

Mounts are a microcosm of everything wrong with MMO's and MMO feeling games like D4. They have no weight or consequence, they are not a choice or a feature of gameplay. They are just an obligatory button you are stupid not to press predictably and repetitively.

D4 feels like tiny little instances, they all look the same except the new paid expansion (and the game is such dogshit I'm never putting another cent into it) The samey-ness is just made even worse by the mount because now each instance feels more like a small hallway than a natural wilderness area more samey and less important to pay attention to. In other words the terrible "open world" design of the game is magnified and made to feel even smaller and less natural.

Much like anything with no weight or consequence or choice in a game, it actually makes a game worse.
