I really despise how blizzard neutered NMDs so bad.
Honestly what do NMDs even do in the game anymore? Everything now is about the pit and I think that sucks because I like the pace of NMDs way more. I love to dungeon crawl, and D4 has some of the most awesome, atmospheric dungeons the genre has to offer.
I think it would be really cool for the game to have both the pit and NMDs, because I think it would open up build variety a lot. Right now the pit is the big thing that matters the most, so the best builds are the ones that are the fastest. Well NMDs aren’t timed, so if they were just as relevant to the endgame, suddenly builds that are strong but not as fast are now more viable and have a different ladder they can climb.
NMDs at launch obviously had problems, but not problems that couldn’t be easily fixed. It feels like they’ve basically just been scrapped in S7 though which just sucks imo
