This is a massive barrier to entry
DM: Diablo 4 believes that the skill tree and paragon boards are only complicated at first glance and are actually easy to understand. Asmongold agrees but wishes for an even more complex system.
When the topic shifts to the early game of Diablo 4, Asmongold mentions that the experience in the early gameplay is less enjoyable for the Barbarian and Druid than for the other classes. Just change the modifiers on the abilities and the problem is solved
What does Asmongold think of the endgame? Asmongold sees the repeated collection tasks and the need to raise reputation in the seasons as problematic.
I find it problematic that players might have to farm reputation again and redo time-consuming side quests in the seasons. This is a massive barrier to entry. I don’t think I will play any Diablo season after the first if I have to do all of this more than twice.

Many other players also have fears about the upcoming seasons in Diablo 4.
In the reaction, he especially agrees with the criticism regarding casual players. DM: Diablo 4 believes that very few casual players would collect the Lilith statues or level up the paragon board. Asmongold thinks it would be good if an item would help find the Lilith statues without needing to look it up.
The difficulty of the new hack-and-slash is also mentioned: Many players find Diablo 4 to be too easy. Asmongold finds the difficulty to be just right. Especially for casual players, it is suitable and the 4 world tiers offer a good balance.
Asmongold praises the side quests and the world’s environment: They are cool, especially for casual players. He would like to see more in this direction.

Nerfs are also criticized
What is the problem with the nerfs? The video mentions the balance patches and nerfs. Asmongold agrees that the Whirlwind Barbarian needed to be nerfed: However, he does not like the playstyle that the nerfs require. The Twitch streamer criticizes the forced rotation needed to trigger the good abilities.
It feels bad to use the builder abilities.
Asmongold describes the stats in Diablo 4 as boring
. Especially the categorization of different damage types is, according to him, better and more understandable in Diablo 3.
Asmongold especially praises the campaign of Diablo 4
But praise also finds its place in the video. Asmongold rates the campaign in Diablo 4 as a 10 out of 10. It is better than in Lost Ark or Path of Exile. He agrees with DM: Diablo 4 that casual players are the key factor for Diablo 4’s success and not the hardcore players.
