What would you like to see in a hypothetical D3?
So apparently, many people seem to think that D2 is over. Ok, there will be minor updates and stuff, but I think we can more or less say that it's basically nothing.
And we know Ubisoft won't miss the occasion to make a D3.
So, hypothetically, if a D3 was planned, what would you like to see in it?
Personally, I'd have a list:
- A survival mode like in D1, but limitless. I'd like it to be the normal PvE mode but not everyone like it, so making it a side mode would be nice.
- A simple apart from the PvE mode. So people who want to play PvP can do so and people who only like PvE aren't dragged there for dailies or weeklies. Simple DZ as I said. You go there, play against other people who want to play, and that's it.
- Having a real impact, visible, useful, on the world. I hated that in both D1 and 2, nothing you do have an impact on the world, outside of your bases. Even after killing all the bad guys, everything is still the same. Why did I go through all of this, if in the end it makes no difference? I want to see enemies falling back when I beat a boss or liberate an area. I want to see people slowly taking over new liberated areas.
- A reworked, more simple mods system. Ultimately, I'd see it like that: You get a weapon with base stats, no effect, just simple damage. Then, you can put mods on it that will have one single stat modifier. Want more accuracy? This mod has it. Fire damage? Another mod. Zoom? Again, another specific mod.
That way, we can customize completely our weapon exactly how we like it. Nothing random.
- Linked to my 3rd point, I'd like to see a real "reconquest" of the area. Divide the map into smaller areas than we have now, and we'll have to capture them one by one, which will make our own side territory bigger and give us bonuses. To conquer an area, we would have different successive objectives, from killing a bunch of enemies, to attack the area's boss, or liberate people. And in some important specific areas, you'd have an instanced mission, to do with a group.
- And final point, but it's more of a wish than a real expectation, I'd like to be able to have a customizable camp. By that I means something close to Fallout 4 colonies (but with prebuilt buildings) or maybe something close to State of Decay, where you'd have empty room but you'd choose what to put there. And then you'd choose who to recruit, with a choice of different NPCs with different skills (like, this one is a rifle specialist, while this other one knows explosives, or that one knows how to keep the morale of your camp high, etc etc).
So, what would you like to see?
