The shop doesn’t feel like it’s optional, or merely a way to progress faster - it feels almost like the only way to progress.Įternal Orbs, a form of currency that can be spent on the shop to purchase Eternal Legendary Crests (which give you a better chance to get good loot in Rifts) and other items, are only available from purchase via the shop with cash - you can’t get them from gameplay. That makes spending at least some money almost required for players who are sincere about pushing into that endgame.
It’s not the existence of the shop itself that’s the problem: it’s that the shop offers items and rewards you can’t get any other way, and it gives you a shortcuts to achieving goals like gearing up in endgame. I think a lot of the backlash to the shop is hyperbolic and deliberately paints it as worse than it is, but that doesn’t make the shop good. I don’t like how Diablo Immortal’s shop works. I make Barbarians like candy, and Diablo Immortal is no different.īut even though I’m playing as a free to play player, the cash shop still manages to get in the way of enjoying the game.Įven if it’s optional, the real money shop feels like the best way to progress Look, you knew who I was when you started reading this. I’m enjoying leveling up, seeing the story, the character customization options (with many, many sliders), and I even like the gameplay, except for a few weird moments on the PC beta where I can’t seem to get button clicks to register. I’ve been playing the game since launch, and I’ve already said that I’m not paying for anything in it - I’m level 60 (with 8 Paragon levels) and have done so entirely on stuff I got through the game, plus I have about four alts in the 50s.
I really like a lot about Diablo Immortal.
