Crafting in Diablo 3 is marginally useful while leveling, but at the endgame, serves virtually no purpose outside of a few recently buffed sets and the need to create items for use within Kanai's Cube. One way to bring back the Auction House would be to completely reimagine the concept from the ground up, such as not selling any weapons or gear at all, and instead, crafting components for the long-term construction of your own gear.

The Skill mechanics have been a controversial subject for fans. On the one hand players like the Diablo 2 skill tree that has players focusing on different skills for unique builds to complement their style of play. On the other hand players like that Diablo 3 took the pressure of planning builds, removed the risk of creating broken builds characters, and having to restart if you want to try a different skill

Pathfinder: Kingmaker was a great CRPG released around the time when this genre was experiencing a resurgence. The game used the Pathfinder system to great effect, even if some people felt like there were a few flaws that prevented this title from reaching greater heights of popular

Diablo II was particularly infamous for its difficult opponents that moved quickly and dealt tons of burst damage. Since then, the series has suffered from a lack of proper challenge, which definitely characterized Diablo III . Whether Diablo IV will deliver where its predecessor failed is unknown, but we hope the franchise will decide to go back to its roots and give us high risk and high reward boss batt

Elden Ring is a game that took the world by storm and showed players just how accessible FromSoftware's games are. Sure, the title can be pretty challenging in certain instances, but players who take their time to explore the game world and do everything in their power to get stronger will be more than elated at the prospect of besting a boss who was giving them a tough time early

Bioware's Dragon Age series is set over three games, each focusing on individual storylines that interlink in the universe's grand design. The first game, Dragon Age: Origins , was released in 2009, winning Game of the Year and several Best Roleplaying awards. Dragon Age 2 followed in 2011, which was well-received by critics but less so by players. The latest installment, Dragon Age: Inquisition , was released in 2014 and also won several Game of the Year awa

Diablo 4 is rumoured to be making its first formal appearance at BlizzCon 2019 in less than two weeks. While we can expect plenty of demon slaying and looting of legendary gear, now is the perfect time to discuss how Blizzard could bring back the Auction House. In Diablo 3 , the failings of the Auction House were apparent from its launch and may have doomed the game from reaching its true potential - attempting to implement it a second time would require a vastly different design philosophy.

Removing the option for real money purchases should be obvious, as that is far too close to pay-to-win and would feel too similar to the misstep of Ghost Recon: Breakpoint . Integrating an Auction House into the next Diablo game should instead use only in-game currency -and what's more, it's time to move beyond gold as the only currency.

Speaking of overlooked CRPGs , it's hard to not talk about Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader . The game's first half is easily one of the most enjoyable times anyone can spend with a video game before the latter half crumbles before screeching to a forgettable h

We don't have that much information about how these features will work in essence, but they'll definitely give the game a more authentic feel, as well as the encourage players to discover the best available builds while fighting in a harsh and challenging environm

There are some TikTok videos that make you cringe, but do you know what would make you cringe the most? The fairy from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time following Link around, going "Hey! Hey! Listen! Hey! Watch out!" all the t

Sure, Cain can identify that weird-looking short sword for you, but do you stay a while and listen? No, you’re always heading off on the next quest. Why the heck would you want to listen to him on your phone? Perhaps it's a good thing that Tristram doesn’t get a cell phone signal anym

It would be interesting to see that fleshed out more heavily in Diablo 4 . Competitive matches between teams, tighter 2 vs 2 matches, tag teams, even some creative game modes. Players enjoy testing their mettle against each other and having that accounted for in Diablo 4 would give players a reason to gr

Admittedly Diablo 3 did a great job of making gold gathering more automated and seeing a continuation of that in the next game would do wonders. Having pets or minions that not only run around scooping up gold, but possibly also gathering items based on your filters would streamline play and bring more focus to the fig

Another option would be to artificially lower the usefulness of the market by limiting the number of items that a player could wear that were purchased on the Auction House. In Diablo 3 , players could trade for everything they needed, acquiring all their armor, weapons, rings and necklaces as well as gear for their followers without ever fighting a single demon. A limitation of two to three items worn at a time by players would force players to actually play the game, but also help provide an option to locate an elusive missing set piece or two.
