Diablo 4's Equipment Vendors Are Completely Pointless

TheGamer Writes "No point buying from them, no point selling to them. What are they even for?"

It was like that on Diablo 3 too, to be honest. Many rpgs only have trash loot at the vendors.

IMissJimRyan660d ago

I came to say that. I think there are only two ways of dealing with this in games: or the missions give you good itens, making vendor useless like Wrpg, or missions give you money to buy itens from vendors, adding a useless step to the process. Both solutions are bad.

Tapani659d ago

Diablo 2 used to have really good loot at the vendors and it was always a pleasure to go and check what kind of upgrades you could do after a solid run. Combined with solid loot you would get from the monsters you slayed, it was a great system. After that, the series has gone downhill. They lost the plot and just crammed too many useless systems and simplified the most interesting aspects and overall just made the whole thing a pointless online game.

Emilio_Estevez660d ago

There is a point to the vendors. You buy rare items with good rolls on them and then imprint the Ancestral(or lower if in lower world) aspect of your choice to make it perfect. It's the only place to pick gear specifically, and you're supposed to upgrade it with an aspect if you find one with good rolls for things you use. The pic used doesn't show the rolls; the display is not turned on in the menus to know if they are low or high or somewhere in between. They are def worth checking out once in a while, but are expensive. More useful toward endgame when gold is easy. Still dropped the game; the battlepass is terrible and so are their updates. Maybe sometime down the line I play some more.

Vendors work as they always have, my only issue with them is that they cause my GPU to go to 100%, something up with the 3d models.
Also rerolling more than once gets expensive fast so selling non legendary loot is essential

Crows90660d ago (Edited 660d ago )

Many aspects of Diablo 4 are completely pointless. The whole open world is pretty much pointless. Most dungeons are pointless. The campaign is actually pointless since you can and are encouraged to skip it once you do it once. Those are some pretty significant things that are pointless

Resistances are also pointless. Progression until you get to the Paragon board is pointless. All the items you take or get throughout the leveling experience are pointless.

OneLove660d ago (Edited 660d ago )

Most rpg vendors are trash🤣🤣and then you have vendors who take specialized currency, chances are low but I've got a few legendaries from that special token vendor. this is funny to even bring up.

Remember Oblivion horse armor everyone? Good times good times.

gigoran88d ago

I remember when they were testing the waters with paid DLC and people were screaming to not buy them so that companies would get the idea that we didn't want to pay for unfinished games. Gamers didn't listen, now the game companies are lapping it up.

Xristo8d ago

The Oblivion horse armor may have been the beginning of cosmetics however, the WoW Celestial Mount takes the cake for setting us up for the present day. That mount made more money for Blizzard than the whole Starcraft 2 franchise. Just sad and crazy.

Michiel19898d ago

horse armor wasn't the first mtx, far from it.

PRIMORDUS8d ago

Nope cause I torrented that game and the horse DLC lol

tombfan8d ago

When did we lost the ability to see COSMETICS on game stores at just $3 DLLs...

anast8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

It's Diablo Immortal: Re-skinned, the Orca edition.

Michiel19898d ago

at least be right for once...diablo immortal is D3 reskinned.....
You are always the most opiniated on games you haven't played and don't know a single thing about.

anast8d ago

Hi Mich. Good to see you are kind of doing okay. You still have this fascination with imaginary omnipotence, but at least we are getting somewhere.

Michiel19898d ago

you recovered from the iceberg?

Diablo 4 devs state game’s hated roadmap is incomplete, promise “good surprises” are coming

Speaking to fans on Twitter, Blizzard director of social and content marketing Adan Fketcher explained that the roadmap fans have been given is incomplete. While the roadmap does include some of the additions coming to the ARPG, there’s also more that the studio has yet to reveal.

AndrewM35d ago

Sorry I picked up Poe 2 last week, and it is way better than your game will ever be.

anast35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

They should have taken their time and made a good game instead of panicking after the Immortal "Don't you have phones?" fallout.

Michiel198935d ago

it already took them a decade, not sure how much more time they need

anast35d ago

They hadn't worked on it for a decade: "instead of panicking after the Immortal "Don't you have phones?" fallout."

CrimsonWing6934d ago

I haven’t beaten Diablo 4, but from the time I’ve spent I really loved it. What is it that people hate about it?

anast34d ago

The builds are too basic and the end game is not good, which is fine if they went the Diablo 2 route, but unlike D2 the build complexity really isn't there — the lack of tend game quality and the lack of build complexity is a recipe for suck in the ARPG space.
