End game competition requires either spending money to get crests → rifts → Gems or having some serious carry/playtime going on.

They have them though for rifts and for the Clan war Shadows vs Immortals stuff.

Leaderboards - I tend to see those as a positive and negative.

Again, I solo stuff so this might be a plus for others.

Groups are required for some content like higher Dungeons, Helliquary raids, and the Shadows/Immortals stuff.It resets every few weeks and is a team based activity. That might be a huge win for others though. I hate PvP so the end game of Shadows vs Immortals is not my thing.Never buy the cosmetics until you are DONE with it. Seasons are only a Month so if you don’t fill all 40 levels of the Battlepass you miss out on whatever the end reward is.Rapid patch cycle too that adds new zones, bosses, quests, and now a new class. Available on PC, although it is in Beta and is a console port to PC.I say that as someone who really likes fishing in games and is rather picky about it. I actually like the mechanics they used to implement it. Fishing! They added this as a relaxing way to complete Codex objectives/BP and to get gear drops.

Pretty graphics that feel very Diablo.They added an in-game calendar/schedule so that it is easy to find and see the timed events like world bosses, as well as group events your clan has scheduled.Mix of instant gratification fast run repeat content (like Baal runs or rifts) with grindy content if you prefer.I like being able to transfer a legendary power to any slot I want. In game systems that are different than other Blizzard games, but also rather interesting.Multiple classes with some interesting mechanics.Full story line and quests to play through.Took me years to get over some of my anger about the way it was announced, but eventually when they said I could play on PC, I have played some. I don’t know about the “real fan” nonsense, but I would give Immortal a try if you have not. to be a “real” diablo fan you should have play at last all diablo games, to know something about them and the diablo story. I played d4 and d3 and wonder should I play immortal.
