I play DI since day 1 For a year i was totally f2p. And than last couple months i started to spend And i reallized something. Its actually doesnt matter ,how much i put into it,because ive just making myself as a victim to the game algorytmh. The game intentionally designed like this,spend as much as time you can,be no lifer to catch up,spend so much money so you can become Strong (which is damn relative since there is always bigger fish) I play the game because i like ot,but ive lost long time ago the feeling "oh gosh,if i dont do this and this,i fall behind,i have to i NEED to do it" This no longer make sense because the game have a catch up system now which is cool. Sort of. I stay in diablo immortal Because the people i knew. But not because the game design. And im pretty sure im not the only one. We all fucking tired of the scummy moves blizzard made in the past time They never ever made something actually satysfing,just only a part of it,and i damn hate it. How much money they want from all of us to finally listen to the feedbacks? And about the f2p part i disagree. A f2p game can make WAY more money. (Look at path of exile or warframe) Because it will grant playability for a wider audience. The problem with modern gaming, developers dont care about the community,they only see us as a sheep. A f2p game with good system does actually make more money than a full pay to win game. More people = more server time= more server time / hour = extra money... In the other hand ,i agree ,its a fun game But we all burned out Ive had enough to participate to help the cm and sending them feedbacks ,and for that ive got a bot asnwer (literally) And im pretty sure , you as a cc also getting tired of the game I like thr game,its set in the universe we all love since litle kids But ,somehow,i feel like,i have a hard time to enjoy this game. Too many bugs,too many problems,too less good events (Always the same,repetativr things) We aint not spent that ammount of money for the same damn things. We want new things,like actual impressive,big ones (Like the whole paragon revamp) Fun fact,if you didnt knew Around 2001 ,gameloft developed order and chaos online (The best mmo on mobile,forever) They made everything hand made (Hand drawing etc) And it wasnt a p2win game. Why cant we have games like back than? Why is it good for a company to outuse peoples trust .. People complain for a good reason,mate. If Blizzard doesnt start to stand up and say,look, motherfuckers,we are still the same company, (Show it than),if they dont do that,the hate just going to grow towards of them.. Yet again,for good reason I love(d) diablo immortal,but its time to stop spend money,and lets see if these so called developers,cm's does actually care about the people or just about their wallet
100%!! really similar to my comment. This game has so much potential. Monetization is what it is, but one thing is for sure amongst us all, this game needs to have us EXCITED again! That” I need to do that” feeling NEEDS to come back.
I've been saying that for a long time now; it doesn't matter how much money I put into the game. It makes zero difference and that doesn't encourage anybody to keep putting money in. Actually, the more money I put in the worst I do because their algorithm has me fighting against 10K and 11K whales in the battleground. What really pisses me off is the 3K and 4K people have awesome matches and they can get to legend very easily on the leaderboards. I used to be in the top 10 every season and now I'm like number 49 or something where the people who spend hardly any money are all the way up at the top. Once again, it really doesn't encourage me to spend any more money.
People don't complain about the updates they complain about how ever update is broken and bugged. They complain about tempest because it was super OP and forces you to play the OP class. They complain about update because it's very shallow with little to no real content. And the complain because u can see more then any game there has ever been that this game is only to get money. And have zero care about making a good game for players
Well said Echo. I love the game and I’ve played Diablo since Diablo II Lord of Destruction, which I spent 10+years with passion. I love the grind and I was absolutely ecstatic when Blizzard finally came out with the mobile version. Being a working adult, it was obvious to easy to decide to spend moderately in the game which was exactly what you had mentioned, one less beer or meal here and there. I totally agree with what you said “Remember why you started to play” and “Especially you’re choosing to do it inside a video game”. The last part was r3ally epic. Hope the fans out there could really digest in your words of wisdom and they could find that same joy and passion that started out.
I do it for myself and the clan. I'm no whale, but I have fun nonetheless. I enjoy the progression, and I enjoy video games. Have fun, and don't worry about the whales and who grids more than you. Troll the trolls and slay demons. Have fun, gamers!
Great video, Echo. In life, if you want to have good mental health, you need to have goals. If you can align your goals with your passions, then you will find contentment and success. I have always been a gamer. I am a father like yourself, so I can’t sit in front of a screen and grind for long hours. I am still passionate about gaming and always will be. Immortal suits my lifestyle, allows me to be a dad, and also to fulfill a passion of mine. So that being said, I often grind to fulfill my goals, and not because it’s fun to do an activity repeatedly. If goals were easy, they wouldn’t be fulfilling. So it’s all about splitting up the grind into healthy, consumable bits and meeting those goals, without sacrificing what’s really important in life, which if your family. So to me, it’s not so much about “are you doing that because you want to be.” It’s more complex than that. The real question is, “are you sacrificing what’s important on life to do these tasks?” If the answer is no, it’s “A OK;” as long as it’s part of a personal goal/passion you have.
Dude I understand but I love the game and honestly I watch your videos everyday and it would suck without you. I can tell your are an amazing teacher. I learned a lot from you. Hopefully blizzard can see what you have done for the game. Hopefully you feel better after vacation. If not were ever you play I will be there. So take a brether and hopefully you come back
I play Immortal casually nowadays mostly to keep up, and I kinda need a break so I don't get burnt out. I would probably give up DI, but I'm impressed with how much they reinvested into the game with content.
This video is probably what a lot of people like me needed to hear. Sounds stupid but made me emotional in a somewhat hard period of my life. I realised that the overwhelming negative community is what made me frustrated about the game so much. Yes the monetization is crazy, I’m Canadian and a 200$ orb pack here costs us 321$. Imagine Americans who complain about heavy monetization don’t even know how Insane it is for us lol. I’m a 5k rez player and I’m already at thousands and thousands of dollars spent.Why? because The thrill of the game and the excitment I felt playing was unreal! When I started playing 2 years ago, learning about immortal vs shadows and all that adventure that would come with it got me SO excited. Used to get goosebumps in shadow wars against the avatar, or in rites. It was years looking for a game like that, focusing on pvp and climb your way to the top with ppl you care about! That excitment is what’s slowly drifting away for me. The immortal vs shadow, in my opinion, needs a HUGE revamp. The game title itself “ Diablo Immortal” is even telling all of us that. I need to get excited again with why fighting to be an immortal is worth it. We need the challenge of the immortal to be fixed, to actually be fair, so we can have a chance at a blessed reign. It’s been 2 years and it always been either no chance for the immortal, or too easy. I wanna get EXCITED again like I was in the first year playing this game! like where the excitment and fullfilment means more than the monetization! Example When those capes came out I went crazy! A year after and we still at 1 blessed reign being #1 shadow clan on our server. I think I’m speaking for a lot of ppl who plays the game in terms of “we need to get excited again! “ F2P players also need that excitment, they need to feel that they are accomplishing things!I do think Blizz did somewhat of a great job on obtaining that in a very paid 2 win design. This game has SO much potential for growth, the immortal vs shadows has so much potential to be huge and make us excited again. Our wings also disappeared on assembly, Bg, and other things. Aren’t wings like the whole part of the game? People pay to get em, and we cant see them if we have them on? Enough talk.. Praying for the best and praying for us all to be excited again!
I have a family of three children, I'm building a house and I have a job🤔 that I'm dedicated to 24/16, I really don't have time to be obsessed with the game
That's the first time I've seen you sit down in a Diablo Immortal video. I knew this was serious. At times the game does get stale when we don't get events that actually help our builds and we actually see the growing progress daily .
How free to play friendly is the game? I don't mind spending $20-$30 a month for a game, but I really don't want to drop $10k to be relevant in content.
Gaming nowadays is basically find the meta and min/max it. Echo, this is an excellent video/message just reminding everyone to take a step back every once in a while and enjoy gaming!
If every event contains simple objectives like for example: kill 100 monsters, or complete 3 dungeons... it's not an event, and that is what every event seems to be tasked with.
I used to play 10-12 hrs aday for the 2 yrs. And now I play 4-5 hrs aday now,due to the stupid updates in my opinion and I’m happy with that. I wish the updates were better and more rewarding, but that not the case
It's way more complicated than I like but I've learned a lot from various videos. I certainly would have left without the additional information. I don't like the various currency options. I want to get gold and use it for everything.
I enjoy the game because i get to play with other players that i enjoy playing with. Great players that have goals and create moments that make the game great.
I stopped playing because I couldn't answer the question: why am i doing this? Is there a goal, cosmetic or power wise? Not really all of that would get unlocked by more money and I just don't game like that. I put in a bit of money which got me a measly cosmetic and low power. I can't tell Blizz or Neatease to change direction of course, but I just wish there was a way to engage with the game that wasn't so money focused. Even if that required me to pay $80 or $90 up front like a traditional triple A title.
Was fun. It's just not anymore. I fall asleep within the first 30mins every time I play no matter what time it is or how alert I am. Family, work and other things are more important to me. Been a fun ride but I'm hanging my hat up, Echo, take care. Good luck with future endeavours.
I’ve given Blizzard enough of my money. It would be nice to see a well run game and have them give back to us, the community, for a change. I’m tired of seeing the bots. If blizzard cared about the community it would focus on clearing out the bots. It’s not fair to anyone who enjoys the game and tries to legitimately use the in game features to progress. I can’t continue to support, financially, a company that isn’t willing to deal with major concerns. For now and until they fix the issues I will be F2P. If you want the issues fixed, stop giving them your money. We have all the power as the customer. Blizzard make a better game, one that is something to brag about like the games in the past.
Welcome back man. It's unfortunate that this video has so many messages in it that people should here, and the algorithm won't surface them. Always need to put self and family before any game, every game. Have my own family time coming up. Be well ECHO fam
Absolutely catching up and because I feel I need to in order to keep up. I have a ton of other things to do other than this game. Rebuilding a vintage vehicle, work on my house, work and the list goes on. It’s tedious and I find it impossible to level equipment and gems. Many clans are intense and others chill. I like the chill ones with accursed towers. Full disclosure I haven’t and won’t spend a dime on this game or any game.
Love the video, is an honest "conversation" about priorities and time in life. Sometimes the game feels like an obligation, sometimes I find myself grinding even if I'm tired because I'm feeling behind. Like an addiction, and games work around this, that's why there are so many events & rewards available so you go in the mindset of "just one more". I been thinking about the amount of time I'm investing in something that is a "virtual satisfaction" and how many other things I can do like spending time with the family. And also in the inevitable moment when you don't want to play anymore, because it will happen. Life balance and mental health. Again, love the video, love your energy and vibe
So you basically went into overdrive before you went on vacation? Respect. I, however, have seen a different approach from another youtuber, the mighty Jingles, who tells his viewers that he will go on a vacation and that during that time there will be reduced videos since he needs to take a breather from the youtube work... You might wish to try that, Echo. Please, take care and don't burn yourself out.
You still dont get it. No one is complaining about updates or enough content, theres heaps of updates and content to do. The bad thing with this game is that they dont have the decency to respond to people who have been wrongly banned or lost items in the game. You just get a generic answer and that is the end of it. Plus, WHY keep adding stuff into the game when it's so broken. On our server, you can't run dungeons because you move in slow motion
I'm only 3000 reso (close to what you are) and barb and get 20-30 kills quite often in battlegrounds, you should try it again sometime, just need the right build for it. its fun.
I play for fun. For example in d4 or poe check out the new content and perhaps some of the challenges for some cosmetics. Once bored simply move on to another game or other activity. Balance is key!
Black Desert Mobile for all I've played mmorpg so far has stable server, great content and still good both PvE and PvP. Diablo Immortals okay just still need lots of improvements.
The game vastly eats phone battery. Might be the bad heat where i live and very bad connection in rural area. So i constantly rubberband lag and get disconnected
So why does Riot Games who makes LoL appear very successful as a non-p2w game? I'm no expert but aren't the only things you can buy are cosmetics? and yet LoL is huge.
I don‘t understand why you HAVE to stay above paragon level… seems to me it‘d be better to just keep up to or be slightly below paragon level. Is it a PvP thing? I never PvP so maybe that‘s why I don‘t get it.
Im 100% f2p with 1.9k reso and I've had great */5 star drops this year in the game that ive been forced to get rid of most of my 2 stars. I have a vipers bite, mothers lament, 4/5 Bsj, 3/5 (Roiling, seeping bile, bottle hope,starfire, gloom) the Starfire shard is the only one i bought on the market, the rest were drops from rifts
I was dropping $200-300/week buying currency. Now i notice they don't drop legendary gems in the Elder rift. So you are buying currency to buy gems that you can sell to get.....a different currency? It no longer makes sense. Game is fun and addictive, but starting to get repetitive. I'm almost at Hell II.
I used to play free to play mobile games(now there are payed games like gta san andreas,total war ...etc) long ago until I bought ps4, now I can't play them at all..I can't even play free to play games on ps for some reason I can't stand them anymore...I can only play single play games.
Good video! I am also a big fan of DI! I am thankful that it is p2w bc our wonderful whales pay for all of these fun updates! And I am lucky to be in a whale clan despite only being 4200 reso myself, bc I get to go immortal every six weeks and enjoy the difference between the two modes: shadow/immortal. I like that the game is social and really enjoy my clan mates. I’m glad you’re out there making these videos! ❤
In my server normal gems sells for: sapphire 250 aquamarine 150 the rest 100. Looking at how things sell there its a lot better. The f2p their doesn't seem to capitalize the cheap 5star gem , looks like complaining is a thing rather than playing lol.
So you were supposedly away on holiday, but i saw your ECHOgaming char in Southern Dreadlands standing there solo, farming AFK. I even sent you messages about it. I guess i'll have to release the video footage of it eh? Or care to explain?
*I complain about events being nothing special - they require doing the same things you'd do whether there's an event or not to complete it... it needs to contain objectives outside the norm for it to be considered fun and "different"*
Nice video but..... I still dont see how the market is broken. Not all of us in the community have whales buying us crests. Being able to buy lego gems with platinum helps the low/mid spender. Echo, being someone who only spends $5 per month on the battlepass shouldnt you be promoting a way for the low/mid spender to progress their account? Going back to the days where a 2/5* lego gem needed for food to upgrade said lego gem was 64k platinum would suck. And that is if someone could even find said 2/5* lego gem in the market. The market finally seems fixed for the low/mid spender.
Echo, great video. I only play when real life permits. I spend maybe 20 bucks a month. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge Diablo fan since D1 on cd. I can totally relate to the teacher analogy also. My wife left TN DOE (TDOE) because of politics. This game doesn’t make decisions for me. I hate most of the dumb events, so guess what? I don’t play them! I play what I want, when I want, and spend what I want. If as a gamer, you feel compelled to compete to be the best by the rules set by a game, I hope your actual life is in order enough to allow for that time, energy, and $$. And if it is, power to ya get after it! Your message was well said, and I wouldn’t even be mad if you took a break to reflect. Peace out! (Side note ran dungeons with one of your scrappy doo’s recently. 6 degrees!
I mean $175 is a bit much-even for pay to win-for a fashion item. They’d make just as much putting the items at a decent price, because then more people would be able to afford to buy them thus more sales. The prices they currently have seems more suitable for a game with very few cash shop items and items that have more of an impact on the game overall; rather than just a cool fashion item that is hot when it first comes out but replaced with another hot fashion a month later. If they lowered the phantom market price to even just $75, I know id certainly consider buying more..
No disrespect .. I love DI.. but it's not difficult .. they need to make sure free for more plates to rank up . More shit you can farm in open world that's good and gets u up there.. hidden caches if good good hear and crests in the open world ... Etc... it would up the excitement ❤❤❤❤
Yes..... one update a year? Yes!... if, it was done right! Sure. Let's see....10 patches/updates a year that they "fix" 50% of issues?, nah I'll take the once a year,,,,,IF ITS FIXED AND ALL GOOD!
If you really are invested and have a voice that Blizz listens to, why not make more videos about the imbalances that are making people so upset and ultimately quitting. The player attrition is dramatic as servers continue to deplete. Maybe having a content creator than can speak to these things could be a catalyst for change they revitalizes it for a much longer time than another meaningless in game event that players get bored with on day one of release.
Tbh people complain abt the stuff they really care abt..im not a barb user myself and i kinda hate it getting nerfed, why not just buff the other classes to match its level. In this way monk will get a revive too and people can choose whatever class they like instead of searching abt which class is best for pve/pvp etc on youtube/reddit..the game seems dry af. Not a good free skin giving event, market is doomed to death, gem drop rates and restrictions, p2w mechanics, bugs and the issue is these stuff never ever ever gets fixed. I myself hav a trash phone and i play with 30fps sh#ty graphics but i nvr complain abt that bcz ik its my fault but ill cant overlook what devs r doing to this amazing(potential) game..its just a timepass game for f2p players like me so i dont take it seriously at this point, ima uninstall whenever i find a better alternative game or a better device to try a large varity of games. Cheers
I've been playing for over 2 years now, and now I'd say I'd prefer a little less grind. Especially if you want to have a good rank in the battleground, a lot of time goes into it.
i wish they can make this game a play to earn game... so that players spending so much time playing can also earn by playing this game... or a player to player trade system to trade in game currencies or trade some in game items... hehehehehe...
Hi @Echo Gaming Diablo.I would like to tell you I disagree with the 99% of what you said and I have some really good reasons why I hate blizzard and at the same.Nothing personal with you I just want to make clear that to you.If you wanna know my reason let me know
I wanted to like this game, they didn't let me. 2 perm bans in, still no clue why, I just do single player runs. No point building up again, I'll just lose it all without reason. I only play when it's quiet at work, but I uninstalled the launcher at home due to their neglect of a 20 year player. I enjoy what I can but I ain't rewarding their behaviour.
So interesting. Just posted to my wb chat that i decided to take a break from the game. While i love my game friends, it feels like a chore latley and takes up so much of my time. The pvp part i used to enjoy is more and more pay to win by every update. Its not worth the frustration. Ill have an indefinite brake. Maybe we find something new to play with my friends. Kinda sad about the time, energy and money i put into my account tho. But that is on me.
Im so sad, This game is amazing, The concept, the art, the gameplay, its all so fun. Its like dream fantasy come true. But they are ruining the game every update, why are they doing this. Why do I care about their game more than them
I've found it to be boring over time. Obviously they can't create any content, that doesn't involve grinding. Virtually everything in game, is a grind. Everything designed for massive growth in game, comes with a huge price tag. Heck even cosmetics costing a lot of money. Playing as a f2p player, having to spend endless hours a day grinding, with a carrot hanging out of reach, gets old. Collecting barely any legendary gems, along with barely any worthwhile platinum, makes it pretty stale. Sure, collecting legendary gear, and essences is accomplishable, sure getting green gear is as well, but it's also an endless grind of itself. Legendary gear in game, is a joke compared to Diablo 3. Very little imagination behind it, and no major difference between most of it. No unique appearance, etc. Just increasing numbers, with some limited bonuses, and little benefits vanilla stuff.
Gonna be very honest. If I can hit the delete button and get a 100% refund I'd do it asap. I wish they would have dissolved the DI team and went all in on D4....so sad.
All this feel good whatever. Let's sit back and remember this game made over 500 million dollars in the first year, but now we are playing on severely laggy servers. Every little thing lags. I play a lot with friends on vc, I'm lagging, they're lagging. It's not my device, my internet... yada yada yada... It's their garbage code and hamster driven servers. Given it's been at least 2 months since the merger that servers have been seriously lagged, and this nonsense continues unabated and worsens... we have every right to gripe. Blizz runs the servers, not Netease. This is all on Blizz. Why should we feel badly for complaining. Yes, it is a good game; but equally yes, there are tons of unaddressed issues. We are still dealing with bugs since day one. We dont get free cosmetics to do pr for blizz. And not all of us are as casual as you are. Maybe we should be. Some have spent big money on this game and right now, it's a dumpster fire in many respects. If nobody complained, imagine how bad it would be if it was left to developers to actually play their own game (there's a joke) and bug fix when/if they get around to it... (Joke #2) Sigh. Anyway, friends made and to game with are the BEST part of DI.
I play DI since day 1
For a year i was totally f2p.
And than last couple months i started to spend
And i reallized something.
Its actually doesnt matter ,how much i put into it,because ive just making myself as a victim to the game algorytmh.
The game intentionally designed like this,spend as much as time you can,be no lifer to catch up,spend so much money so you can become Strong
(which is damn relative since there is always bigger fish)
I play the game because i like ot,but ive lost long time ago the feeling "oh gosh,if i dont do this and this,i fall behind,i have to i NEED to do it"
This no longer make sense because the game have a catch up system now which is cool.
Sort of.
I stay in diablo immortal Because the people i knew.
But not because the game design.
And im pretty sure im not the only one.
We all fucking tired of the scummy moves blizzard made in the past time
They never ever made something actually satysfing,just only a part of it,and i damn hate it.
How much money they want from all of us to finally listen to the feedbacks?
And about the f2p part i disagree.
A f2p game can make WAY more money.
(Look at path of exile or warframe)
Because it will grant playability for a wider audience.
The problem with modern gaming, developers dont care about the community,they only see us as a sheep.
A f2p game with good system does actually make more money than a full pay to win game.
More people = more server time= more server time / hour = extra money...
In the other hand ,i agree ,its a fun game
But we all burned out
Ive had enough to participate to help the cm and sending them feedbacks ,and for that ive got a bot asnwer (literally)
And im pretty sure , you as a cc also getting tired of the game
I like thr game,its set in the universe we all love since litle kids
But ,somehow,i feel like,i have a hard time to enjoy this game.
Too many bugs,too many problems,too less good events
(Always the same,repetativr things)
We aint not spent that ammount of money for the same damn things.
We want new things,like actual impressive,big ones
(Like the whole paragon revamp)
Fun fact,if you didnt knew
Around 2001 ,gameloft developed order and chaos online
(The best mmo on mobile,forever)
They made everything hand made
(Hand drawing etc)
And it wasnt a p2win game.
Why cant we have games like back than?
Why is it good for a company to outuse peoples trust ..
People complain for a good reason,mate.
If Blizzard doesnt start to stand up and say,look, motherfuckers,we are still the same company,
(Show it than),if they dont do that,the hate just going to grow towards of them..
Yet again,for good reason
I love(d) diablo immortal,but its time to stop spend money,and lets see if these so called developers,cm's does actually care about the people or just about their wallet
Completely agree with this.
100%!! really similar to my comment. This game has so much potential. Monetization is what it is, but one thing is for sure amongst us all, this game needs to have us EXCITED again! That” I need to do that” feeling NEEDS to come back.

People don't complain about the updates they complain about how ever update is broken and bugged. They complain about tempest because it was super OP and forces you to play the OP class. They complain about update because it's very shallow with little to no real content. And the complain because u can see more then any game there has ever been that this game is only to get money. And have zero care about making a good game for players
Actually i don't feel the Tempest's OP-ness. I tried it but i still prefer my necro and blood knight.
I miss the bk op days or when burn first came to my old barb till it was originally nerfed lol
Tempest good
@@GaziLUGGZY yep they do so great in events like brawl and such
It's not so op for me I prefer necro and demon hunter just my opinion
Well said Echo. I love the game and I’ve played Diablo since Diablo II Lord of Destruction, which I spent 10+years with passion. I love the grind and I was absolutely ecstatic when Blizzard finally came out with the mobile version. Being a working adult, it was obvious to easy to decide to spend moderately in the game which was exactly what you had mentioned, one less beer or meal here and there.
I totally agree with what you said “Remember why you started to play” and “Especially you’re choosing to do it inside a video game”.
The last part was r3ally epic. Hope the fans out there could really digest in your words of wisdom and they could find that same joy and passion that started out.
I do it for myself and the clan. I'm no whale, but I have fun nonetheless. I enjoy the progression, and I enjoy video games. Have fun, and don't worry about the whales and who grids more than you. Troll the trolls and slay demons. Have fun, gamers!
Great video, Echo. In life, if you want to have good mental health, you need to have goals. If you can align your goals with your passions, then you will find contentment and success. I have always been a gamer. I am a father like yourself, so I can’t sit in front of a screen and grind for long hours. I am still passionate about gaming and always will be. Immortal suits my lifestyle, allows me to be a dad, and also to fulfill a passion of mine. So that being said, I often grind to fulfill my goals, and not because it’s fun to do an activity repeatedly. If goals were easy, they wouldn’t be fulfilling. So it’s all about splitting up the grind into healthy, consumable bits and meeting those goals, without sacrificing what’s really important in life, which if your family. So to me, it’s not so much about “are you doing that because you want to be.” It’s more complex than that. The real question is, “are you sacrificing what’s important on life to do these tasks?” If the answer is no, it’s “A OK;” as long as it’s part of a personal goal/passion you have.
👌🏻👍🏻
I took a break for a year, i am still playing catch up but its good to have a break and bring back the excitement to the game
Dude I understand but I love the game and honestly I watch your videos everyday and it would suck without you. I can tell your are an amazing teacher. I learned a lot from you. Hopefully blizzard can see what you have done for the game. Hopefully you feel better after vacation. If not were ever you play I will be there. So take a brether and hopefully you come back
Im tired of the legendary gems in the market being so overpriced it sucks
Well I have to we appreciate all the work you put in for the community
Hey man, i have the same sentiments. Keep it up man! we are here for you!
Do more of this kind of content
I play Immortal casually nowadays mostly to keep up, and I kinda need a break so I don't get burnt out.
I would probably give up DI, but I'm impressed with how much they reinvested into the game with content.
This video is probably what a lot of people like me needed to hear. Sounds stupid but made me emotional in a somewhat hard period of my life.
I realised that the overwhelming negative community is what made me frustrated about the game so much. Yes the monetization is crazy, I’m Canadian and a 200$ orb pack here costs us 321$. Imagine Americans who complain about heavy monetization don’t even know how Insane it is for us lol. I’m a 5k rez player and I’m already at thousands and thousands of dollars spent.Why? because The thrill of the game and the excitment I felt playing was unreal!
When I started playing 2 years ago, learning about immortal vs shadows and all that adventure that would come with it got me SO excited. Used to get goosebumps in shadow wars against the avatar, or in rites. It was years looking for a game like that, focusing on pvp and climb your way to the top with ppl you care about!
That excitment is what’s slowly drifting away for me. The immortal vs shadow, in my opinion, needs a HUGE revamp. The game title itself “ Diablo Immortal” is even telling all of us that. I need to get excited again with why fighting to be an immortal is worth it. We need the challenge of the immortal to be fixed, to actually be fair, so we can have a chance at a blessed reign. It’s been 2 years and it always been either no chance for the immortal, or too easy.
I wanna get EXCITED again like I was in the first year playing this game! like where the excitment and fullfilment means more than the monetization! Example When those capes came out I went crazy! A year after and we still at 1 blessed reign being #1 shadow clan on our server. I think I’m speaking for a lot of ppl who plays the game in terms of “we need to get excited again! “
F2P players also need that excitment, they need to feel that they are accomplishing things!I do think Blizz did somewhat of a great job on obtaining that in a very paid 2 win design. This game has SO much potential for growth, the immortal vs shadows has so much potential to be huge and make us excited again. Our wings also disappeared on assembly, Bg, and other things. Aren’t wings like the whole part of the game? People pay to get em, and we cant see them if we have them on?
Enough talk.. Praying for the best and praying for us all to be excited again!
I have a family of three children, I'm building a house and I have a job🤔 that I'm dedicated to 24/16, I really don't have time to be obsessed with the game
That's the first time I've seen you sit down in a Diablo Immortal video. I knew this was serious. At times the game does get stale when we don't get events that actually help our builds and we actually see the growing progress daily .
How free to play friendly is the game? I don't mind spending $20-$30 a month for a game, but I really don't want to drop $10k to be relevant in content.
Gaming nowadays is basically find the meta and min/max it. Echo, this is an excellent video/message just reminding everyone to take a step back every once in a while and enjoy gaming!
If every event contains simple objectives like for example: kill 100 monsters, or complete 3 dungeons... it's not an event, and that is what every event seems to be tasked with.
I used to play 10-12 hrs aday for the 2 yrs. And now I play 4-5 hrs aday now,due to the stupid updates in my opinion and I’m happy with that. I wish the updates were better and more rewarding, but that not the case
Eye Opening!! Thanks Echo for the honest video!!
ever since they changed paragon values, its kinda killed my passion to play. Going from lvl ~1300 to ~250 just felt bad man.
i dont mind pay to win but lower the prices
It's way more complicated than I like but I've learned a lot from various videos. I certainly would have left without the additional information. I don't like the various currency options. I want to get gold and use it for everything.
I enjoy the game because i get to play with other players that i enjoy playing with. Great players that have goals and create moments that make the game great.
Lately, when you imbed background music, it's too loud making it harder to understand you speak and what you're trying to convey.
I stopped playing because I couldn't answer the question: why am i doing this? Is there a goal, cosmetic or power wise? Not really all of that would get unlocked by more money and I just don't game like that. I put in a bit of money which got me a measly cosmetic and low power. I can't tell Blizz or Neatease to change direction of course, but I just wish there was a way to engage with the game that wasn't so money focused. Even if that required me to pay $80 or $90 up front like a traditional triple A title.
Also appreciate you taking the time to make all these videos and sorry you’re feeling burned out and down. 😢
Was fun. It's just not anymore. I fall asleep within the first 30mins every time I play no matter what time it is or how alert I am. Family, work and other things are more important to me. Been a fun ride but I'm hanging my hat up, Echo, take care. Good luck with future endeavours.
I’ve given Blizzard enough of my money. It would be nice to see a well run game and have them give back to us, the community, for a change. I’m tired of seeing the bots. If blizzard cared about the community it would focus on clearing out the bots. It’s not fair to anyone who enjoys the game and tries to legitimately use the in game features to progress. I can’t continue to support, financially, a company that isn’t willing to deal with major concerns. For now and until they fix the issues I will be F2P.
If you want the issues fixed, stop giving them your money. We have all the power as the customer. Blizzard make a better game, one that is something to brag about like the games in the past.
Echo... in a chair? Woah
This was a very good video, congrats!
im only playing 1hr dailies/dg. and only log in every bg time... im enjoying it when i play it casualy
welcome to the real world i have quit for now even tho i like the game but its monotuous boring and little rewards for all the time spent there
Welcome back man. It's unfortunate that this video has so many messages in it that people should here, and the algorithm won't surface them.
Always need to put self and family before any game, every game.
Have my own family time coming up.
Be well ECHO fam
This isn't the first time that a vid of his wasn't in my phone notifications
Absolutely catching up and because I feel I need to in order to keep up. I have a ton of other things to do other than this game. Rebuilding a vintage vehicle, work on my house, work and the list goes on. It’s tedious and I find it impossible to level equipment and gems. Many clans are intense and others chill. I like the chill ones with accursed towers. Full disclosure I haven’t and won’t spend a dime on this game or any game.
Hope you enjoy your time away with your lovely family
Love the video, is an honest "conversation" about priorities and time in life. Sometimes the game feels like an obligation, sometimes I find myself grinding even if I'm tired because I'm feeling behind. Like an addiction, and games work around this, that's why there are so many events & rewards available so you go in the mindset of "just one more".
I been thinking about the amount of time I'm investing in something that is a "virtual satisfaction" and how many other things I can do like spending time with the family. And also in the inevitable moment when you don't want to play anymore, because it will happen.
Life balance and mental health. Again, love the video, love your energy and vibe
Well said. Felt that. Thank you bro! 👏
Echo can we get you over to oldschool runescape?!
I come back every 3 months for 10 days fun grind and catch up new things.
Then uninstall game after 2weeks to back to normal life.
So you basically went into overdrive before you went on vacation?
Respect.
I, however, have seen a different approach from another youtuber, the mighty Jingles, who tells his viewers that he will go on a vacation and that during that time there will be reduced videos since he needs to take a breather from the youtube work... You might wish to try that, Echo. Please, take care and don't burn yourself out.
You still dont get it. No one is complaining about updates or enough content, theres heaps of updates and content to do. The bad thing with this game is that they dont have the decency to respond to people who have been wrongly banned or lost items in the game. You just get a generic answer and that is the end of it. Plus, WHY keep adding stuff into the game when it's so broken. On our server, you can't run dungeons because you move in slow motion
I'm only 3000 reso (close to what you are) and barb and get 20-30 kills quite often in battlegrounds, you should try it again sometime, just need the right build for it. its fun.
I play for fun. For example in d4 or poe check out the new content and perhaps some of the challenges for some cosmetics. Once bored simply move on to another game or other activity. Balance is key!
Black Desert Mobile for all I've played mmorpg so far has stable server, great content and still good both PvE and PvP.
Diablo Immortals okay just still need lots of improvements.
The game vastly eats phone battery. Might be the bad heat where i live and very bad connection in rural area. So i constantly rubberband lag and get disconnected
So why does Riot Games who makes LoL appear very successful as a non-p2w game? I'm no expert but aren't the only things you can buy are cosmetics? and yet LoL is huge.
I don‘t understand why you HAVE to stay above paragon level… seems to me it‘d be better to just keep up to or be slightly below paragon level. Is it a PvP thing? I never PvP so maybe that‘s why I don‘t get it.
I do it for my clan, my vault team, and eventually MY CAPE!!!! Lmao
Most of the bots are always necros 😂
It is fun and helps pass some time. I almost have my BSJ at rank 5. Once that is done, I’ll have all my gear awaken. Should also hit 2k res.
Im 100% f2p with 1.9k reso and I've had great */5 star drops this year in the game that ive been forced to get rid of most of my 2 stars. I have a vipers bite, mothers lament, 4/5 Bsj, 3/5 (Roiling, seeping bile, bottle hope,starfire, gloom) the Starfire shard is the only one i bought on the market, the rest were drops from rifts
well said. mind over matter - if you don't mind, it doesnt matter.
I was dropping $200-300/week buying currency. Now i notice they don't drop legendary gems in the Elder rift. So you are buying currency to buy gems that you can sell to get.....a different currency? It no longer makes sense. Game is fun and addictive, but starting to get repetitive. I'm almost at Hell II.
If scrappy doesn't play anymore, why not make a new clan name to spice it up?
I used to play free to play mobile games(now there are payed games like gta san andreas,total war ...etc) long ago until I bought ps4, now I can't play them at all..I can't even play free to play games on ps for some reason I can't stand them anymore...I can only play single play games.
Good video! I am also a big fan of DI! I am thankful that it is p2w bc our wonderful whales pay for all of these fun updates! And I am lucky to be in a whale clan despite only being 4200 reso myself, bc I get to go immortal every six weeks and enjoy the difference between the two modes: shadow/immortal. I like that the game is social and really enjoy my clan mates. I’m glad you’re out there making these videos! ❤
I can't complain about the game at all because I love diablo immortal and the diablo franchise. I miss survivors bane so much lol
Wholesome and we'll done video Echo!
In my server normal gems sells for: sapphire 250 aquamarine 150 the rest 100. Looking at how things sell there its a lot better. The f2p their doesn't seem to capitalize the cheap 5star gem , looks like complaining is a thing rather than playing lol.
I just got an rp4 and like android games more than I thought I would cuz it's not attached to my phone and I've just started playing this game.
The vibes is waaaay different with this one echo. Go back sader bro you were loving the game as sader!
I’m burnt out too brother, but I stick in it for my warband haha.
So you were supposedly away on holiday, but i saw your ECHOgaming char in Southern Dreadlands standing there solo, farming AFK. I even sent you messages about it. I guess i'll have to release the video footage of it eh? Or care to explain?
*I complain about events being nothing special - they require doing the same things you'd do whether there's an event or not to complete it... it needs to contain objectives outside the norm for it to be considered fun and "different"*
I have to clear data so i can play again caught the crash bug again 😆
Im waiting for this update normal gems and hopefully rune drops for abyssal verge
Nice video but..... I still dont see how the market is broken. Not all of us in the community have whales buying us crests. Being able to buy lego gems with platinum helps the low/mid spender. Echo, being someone who only spends $5 per month on the battlepass shouldnt you be promoting a way for the low/mid spender to progress their account?
Going back to the days where a 2/5* lego gem needed for food to upgrade said lego gem was 64k platinum would suck. And that is if someone could even find said 2/5* lego gem in the market.
The market finally seems fixed for the low/mid spender.
I don’t think the gems will go back up. I’ve seen other mobile games that experienced the same decline
for 80 bucks i created a character i like and just farm and play for fun. You dont have to spend hundreds of dollars.
Bring back first phantom market please
Echo, great video. I only play when real life permits. I spend maybe 20 bucks a month. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge Diablo fan since D1 on cd. I can totally relate to the teacher analogy also. My wife left TN DOE (TDOE) because of politics. This game doesn’t make decisions for me. I hate most of the dumb events, so guess what? I don’t play them! I play what I want, when I want, and spend what I want. If as a gamer, you feel compelled to compete to be the best by the rules set by a game, I hope your actual life is in order enough to allow for that time, energy, and $$. And if it is, power to ya get after it! Your message was well said, and I wouldn’t even be mad if you took a break to reflect. Peace out! (Side note ran dungeons with one of your scrappy doo’s recently. 6 degrees!
Thanks a lot man!
Beautiful video, thank you for your advice, they are wonderful.
Adoro o seu conteúdo, a sua forma de apresentar o Diablo Immortal, excelente criador de conteúdo, parabéns amigo, você é genial ❤
After 7 min i still don't know what the issue is
I mean $175 is a bit much-even for pay to win-for a fashion item. They’d make just as much putting the items at a decent price, because then more people would be able to afford to buy them thus more sales. The prices they currently have seems more suitable for a game with very few cash shop items and items that have more of an impact on the game overall; rather than just a cool fashion item that is hot when it first comes out but replaced with another hot fashion a month later. If they lowered the phantom market price to even just $75, I know id certainly consider buying more..
Just fix the godam bug
Make the battle pass a subscription to play the game and don't sell anything else
yes, and that's why I stay out of those games who want to shackle me to them, I'll play Diablo 4 now thou, new season new expansion
No disrespect .. I love DI.. but it's not difficult .. they need to make sure free for more plates to rank up .
More shit you can farm in open world that's good and gets u up there.. hidden caches if good good hear and crests in the open world ... Etc... it would up the excitement ❤❤❤❤
Get the open wprld to rewl open world
Lets go.. lets go!!!!
I got to keep grinding my account lol basically i typically carry members of my clan or friends and feel bad when i cant lol.
Yes..... one update a year? Yes!... if, it was done right! Sure. Let's see....10 patches/updates a year that they "fix" 50% of issues?, nah I'll take the once a year,,,,,IF ITS FIXED AND ALL GOOD!
I mean this in a good way. I’m out. I watched this high
Based
It's all good as long as you don't over spend time energy and money.
Game's design is powered by FOMO. Prove me otherwise
I play for fun. I am not even on par with server paragon level, i am Paragon 361 with 35 700 combat rating.
If you really are invested and have a voice that Blizz listens to, why not make more videos about the imbalances that are making people so upset and ultimately quitting. The player attrition is dramatic as servers continue to deplete. Maybe having a content creator than can speak to these things could be a catalyst for change they revitalizes it for a much longer time than another meaningless in game event that players get bored with on day one of release.
Tbh people complain abt the stuff they really care abt..im not a barb user myself and i kinda hate it getting nerfed, why not just buff the other classes to match its level. In this way monk will get a revive too and people can choose whatever class they like instead of searching abt which class is best for pve/pvp etc on youtube/reddit..the game seems dry af. Not a good free skin giving event, market is doomed to death, gem drop rates and restrictions, p2w mechanics, bugs and the issue is these stuff never ever ever gets fixed. I myself hav a trash phone and i play with 30fps sh#ty graphics but i nvr complain abt that bcz ik its my fault but ill cant overlook what devs r doing to this amazing(potential) game..its just a timepass game for f2p players like me so i dont take it seriously at this point, ima uninstall whenever i find a better alternative game or a better device to try a large varity of games. Cheers
Gears of War! Have you read the novels by Karen Traviss? They are amazing!!
I've been playing for over 2 years now, and now I'd say I'd prefer a little less grind. Especially if you want to have a good rank in the battleground, a lot of time goes into it.
i wish they can make this game a play to earn game... so that players spending so much time playing can also earn by playing this game... or a player to player trade system to trade in game currencies or trade some in game items... hehehehehe...
W bro
Hi @Echo Gaming Diablo.I would like to tell you I disagree with the 99% of what you said and I have some really good reasons why I hate blizzard and at the same.Nothing personal with you I just want to make clear that to you.If you wanna know my reason let me know
Money!! Money!!! Money!!!
Lol.😂❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😂❤
Bro this whole game is a time suck at this point with no happy ending that's why people are just not returning to play
Not rewarding at ALL
They messed up
I wanted to like this game, they didn't let me. 2 perm bans in, still no clue why, I just do single player runs. No point building up again, I'll just lose it all without reason. I only play when it's quiet at work, but I uninstalled the launcher at home due to their neglect of a 20 year player. I enjoy what I can but I ain't rewarding their behaviour.
So interesting. Just posted to my wb chat that i decided to take a break from the game. While i love my game friends, it feels like a chore latley and takes up so much of my time. The pvp part i used to enjoy is more and more pay to win by every update. Its not worth the frustration. Ill have an indefinite brake. Maybe we find something new to play with my friends. Kinda sad about the time, energy and money i put into my account tho. But that is on me.
Im so sad, This game is amazing, The concept, the art, the gameplay, its all so fun. Its like dream fantasy come true. But they are ruining the game every update, why are they doing this. Why do I care about their game more than them
I've found it to be boring over time. Obviously they can't create any content, that doesn't involve grinding. Virtually everything in game, is a grind. Everything designed for massive growth in game, comes with a huge price tag. Heck even cosmetics costing a lot of money. Playing as a f2p player, having to spend endless hours a day grinding, with a carrot hanging out of reach, gets old. Collecting barely any legendary gems, along with barely any worthwhile platinum, makes it pretty stale. Sure, collecting legendary gear, and essences is accomplishable, sure getting green gear is as well, but it's also an endless grind of itself. Legendary gear in game, is a joke compared to Diablo 3. Very little imagination behind it, and no major difference between most of it. No unique appearance, etc. Just increasing numbers, with some limited bonuses, and little benefits vanilla stuff.
Gonna be very honest. If I can hit the delete button and get a 100% refund I'd do it asap. I wish they would have dissolved the DI team and went all in on D4....so sad.
More ppl play/have played di, then d4
All this feel good whatever. Let's sit back and remember this game made over 500 million dollars in the first year, but now we are playing on severely laggy servers. Every little thing lags. I play a lot with friends on vc, I'm lagging, they're lagging. It's not my device, my internet... yada yada yada... It's their garbage code and hamster driven servers.
Given it's been at least 2 months since the merger that servers have been seriously lagged, and this nonsense continues unabated and worsens... we have every right to gripe. Blizz runs the servers, not Netease. This is all on Blizz. Why should we feel badly for complaining.
Yes, it is a good game; but equally yes, there are tons of unaddressed issues. We are still dealing with bugs since day one. We dont get free cosmetics to do pr for blizz. And not all of us are as casual as you are. Maybe we should be. Some have spent big money on this game and right now, it's a dumpster fire in many respects. If nobody complained, imagine how bad it would be if it was left to developers to actually play their own game (there's a joke) and bug fix when/if they get around to it... (Joke #2)
Sigh.
Anyway, friends made and to game with are the BEST part of DI.
