Diablo 4 devs don\u2019t plan on changing divisive Druid class Blizzard EntertainmentDespite player backlash about the Druid design, Diablo 4 developers do not intend on changing the character model. One discussion that spawned from the Diablo beta centered on the character design of the Druid class. While the other classes feature heroes with slim or muscular builds, the Druid bears more of a burly, heavily built look. There were those who didn\u2019t care either way, focusing only on what the character provided \u2013 or didn\u2019t provide \u2013 in terms of combat abilities. Others on Reddit and in Blizzard forums claimed they\u2019d avoid the class without the option to choose a different body type. It seems, then, that the ball is in Blizzard\u2019s court. And the company has already decided what it\u2019s going to do about the divisive Druid design. Blizzard will not change the Druid character model in Diablo 4 Speaking to PCGamesN during a recent roundtable interview, Lead Class Designer Adam Jackson and Lead Game Producer Melissa Corning addressed the Druid backlash. Corning said the team anticipated a wide array of opinions to form about each class design, \u201cbut the goal is for every single class to feel unique \u2013 not just through their skills and animations but definitely through diverse visual appearances as well.\u201d Jackson added that players must be able to differentiate themselves from other characters, which the varied silhouettes help guarantee. To that end, Corning confirmed that \u201cthere\u2019s no plan currently [to overhaul the Druid design]. We made this decision from the beginning because our goal was to visually distinguish [each character]\u2026\u201d It\u2019s clear Blizzard doesn\u2019t plan on budging, which will undoubtedly bother some players while others will see such news as a triumph. After all, naysayers weren\u2019t the only ones commenting on the Druid\u2019s build during the beta period. There were also fans who felt represented. Many likely hold out hope that developers will balance the Druid\u2019s gameplay since players and content creators agreed the class needed more work in that regard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
