Diablo 4 Devs Respond to Criticism About Druid Class Appearance
Diablo 4’s beta release attracted a whopping 2.6 million users, but not everyone was happy with the Druid class. During the beta test, many fans criticized the Druid class’s weak abilities and bulkier appearance. Some curious fans have been wondering if the Druid class will eventually be remodeled to look slimmer in the future. And now, the game’s Lead Class Designer, Adam Jackson, and Lead Game Producer, Melissa Corning, have spoken up to address these criticisms about the class. According to them, there are no plans for such a redesign in the future.
The developers at Blizzard Entertainment have designed each class in Diablo 4 to have a distinct feel. They do this by incorporating a unique visual design for each character, which includes animations and abilities that create a specific feel. Jackson says that having distinctive silhouettes is also important to help players identify the class they are playing or encountering. This was a major consideration for the overall game design.
Why the Design for the Druid Class is the Way it is?
Why does the Druid class look the way it does? The lead class designer, Adam Jackson, and lead game producer, Melissa Corning, both have stated that the Druid class’s design was carefully considered to ensure that all the gear items for each class look excellent, regardless of customization. The designers wanted to make sure that each character looks visually different from one another. Therefore, any redesign of the Druid class would be unlikely because it would only make it more similar to other classes’ designs.
Additionally, the devs have put significant thought into Diablo 4’s character customization and designs. They wanted to make sure that players can customize their characters to their liking while still using gear items that were crafted solely for each class. By maintaining class-specific appearances, the developers can ensure that all equipment will have its unique look and not appear the same on all the different classes in the game.
When Does Diablo 4 Release?
Diablo 4 is set to release on June 6, 2023, on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5.
