Kingtut2121: Great interview, 10 out of 10. So much insight to understand the background. Thanks!
vroitwyrd: These developer engagements are a positive. Gaming is at a crossroads with player expectation and studio delivery. The D4 team no doubt wants this IP to generate revenue for years to come. Stay humble. Offer a quality product at a fair price.
nikroth: This man is an absolute top G. I looove how he is so down to earth and it's clear that he is a passionate gamer. We have to clone this guy !!
Fandelgore: this series of dev interviews had me realising how fucking stupid and delusional we are as player base sometimes and im not trying to dick ride blizzard or d4 devs, no, they have done awful decisions with the game, but still, seeing how they explain things (particularly adam jackson) we can clearly see the "clash" between the day to day player experience and ideas and what the actual work of a developer for a game is. Just an example from this very interview, when DM insisted on the strongholds (nothing against dm, i don't think he is stupid) and adam explained to him all the intricancies about it, but then DM kept going "but what if" or "what about this?", etc. which comes from a place of love for the game, a place of wanting to do more activities, enjoy more pieces of the game but it also comes from excitment and "ignorance" (not peyorative).
MrmuffLobsterknuckle: We go in circles over and over again the question is why does the game feel pointless to play after 2 days why am I bored af after a week…what’s the point of showering us with gear that we can’t show off in any competitive way PvP ranks pve ranks what is the incentive to do anything in diablo4 the campaign quests are worthless no end game anything the fun game part of diablo4 is non existent no omfg dood moments it’s just bland and boring af it’s vast as the ocean and has the depth of a puddle… why can I sit and play d2 for 20 years and be geeekin out the entire time finding gear crazy shit farming and grinding is super exciting then I come to d4 and get sad and lonely and depressed why
durpasaur3052: Bless Adam Jackson, and thank you DM for actually having good questions. GHAZZ could have stayed in bed honestly. I can't imagine how annoying it is developing a game for one of the worst communities in gaming
Sebolonius: Adam is so awesome, love how he has zero filter and so pasionate of his game :)
sol5916: It's encouraging that the lead class designer seems to have a good head on his shoulders. Looking forward to the new season. I think corporations undervalue how likable a person just being genuine can be. When I look at the rest of the D4 employees during the campfire chats, they're practically dripping with bullshit and fake piety. At the end of the day, we want gamers to be designing our games.
Gimpo925: I've put tens of thousands of hours into the diablo franchise and not once did I think I really think pvp would make this better
