I haven't played this since last year. I fucked around with season 1 and said bye.

Season starting today seems to have ripped off Last Epoch ideas about loot. It lets you add mods to found items (that only drop with 3 mods now) and even has greater affixes that are drop only

Ok after playing new season for few days now I must say so far this is pretty cool.
They fixed 3 important things.
1. Made overland fights fun and cool with changes to helltides. There are huge waves of enemies there now as well as new bosses and it is harder than before. I hate dungeons in D4 and this lets me ignore them somewhat (unfortunatelly you still need to farm glyph XP but they made that faster as well)
2. Loot changes are really good. They removed most stupid mods and what is left are mostly useful. They reduced amount of drops a bit and made it unimportant to look at every piece of yellow loot to find upgrades. Yellow drops with 2 mods, legendary with 3 and you can craft one more mod on top of both. You need to find crafting recipes for that. So basically unless rare is a much better base weapon you sell or scrap them all and just check orange items to see if they are good candidate for adding more mods. But they made adding sockets much harder and it should not be done until lvl 100. I am yet on WT3 but on WT4 I will be able to add two mods and then do Masterworking which I do not know if it works like before.
3. Lots of UI and QoL updates. They even moved often used traders in towns to be close to each other. You can ride and boost your horse in towns. Using blacksmith to scrap legendary automatically saves the Aspect if it is new or better than version you already have and stuff like that.


Bad is that servers are bad during this first weekend with random disconnects, not being able to change zones, some mechanics not working because of server issues..
