I use to love D2, spent too many hours playing this game over the years and have always wanted it to be better than it is. Update after update, season after season i wanted D2 to reach it full potential but it never did. There is alot to enjoy in D2 and if you can find something you love more power to you i just cant with good conscience recommend this game to anyone i know and i wish i never started playing it in the first place. I could go into what really is wrong with the game but there is just too much to cover.
Ill list a few here: 1. Skill based match making in every PVP game mode with a really bad algorithm. 3. Ability spam in PVP. 4. Lack of vision and support for PVP. 5. Strange balance in PVE where guns are there to shoot marshmallows at the enemies while your abilities cool down. 6. Ability-centered PVE where there really is no power fantasy focused mainly on gunplay. 7. Reissuing old D2 and D1 content as new content. 8. Lacklustre optimisation (for what the game looks like). 9. Over monetisation. 10. Overpriced expansions when looking at total content they contain.

Note: (2023/02/01) Credit where credit is due, Bungie has reverted some of the movement nerfs in PVP and has reworked to AE system. This is a step in the right direction.

Sorry Bungie but this game keeps getting worse and worse.

Note: (Lightfall Launch day) Not looking like they are heading in a direction that is good for the game. The new mod system may have a lot of new mods but the total reliance on orbs of light for the most part and the nerfed weapon damage mods is a miss. The campaign i cannot comment on as i was not one to by Lightfall however, from the first mission it doesnt seem to be on the same level as WQ was. The Dungeon pass is yet another pain point so i feel that this game is worth shelving for the time being. Maybe final shape will bring better more innovative content. Nice try Bungy but i think you lost the plot some were along the line.
