Nah, all this was ready a month+ ago, they're releasing this now because of the Diablo Immortal Shitshow last year. On another note, I do like the idea of the Characters having different paper dolls. Being able to stack 4 weapon legendary affixes onto barbarian should make for very different...

I do like that they're committing to quarterly progress reports, but "quarterly" definitely supports "long ass time until this is live."

It's going to be 2-3 years until this releases. They didn't even have a hell render ready for the show. Two more classes to design build. They did say this is a new engine, not the D3 engine, tho.

They literally said "This isn't coming soon, not even Blizzard SOON(TM)" If you're making a joke about how long it takes your company to make games, and referring to that as too fast, it's a long ways out. They've got two entire classes to make, no hell levels rendered to show us, and an...

Lilith looks pretty Azshara-y.

Gotta release May 2022 so that they can maintain the 10 year dev cycle.

The Opening Ceremony and then the individual announcement panels will be streamed on twitch for anyone. I believe the Q&A panels are gated behind the $50 online ticket, tomorrow. Blizzcon.com should have an embedded stream.

I do kind of hope there's some really god damn rare items in the game. Like, not the shit you actually need to baseline succeed, but some ultra rare quirky garbage. Something non-essential to chase/make twitch clips when it drops.

It also encourages the company to design their loot system around fucking you nonstop so that you break down and spend money on the RMAH and they get a cut. Just like EXP boosters/buyable orcs in new solo games encourage devs to make their game a pointlessly padded experience, to encourage you...

That sign is actually a warning for the Overwatch 2: All Futa Edition reveal.

You'd have thought that would have been a lesson learned early on from EQ's AA system.

It's 2019. Incubus Dongs only, I'm afraid

I mean, you know at launch density is going to be garbage. Except for one zone where it's a god damn goatmen gangbang.

If there's actually a Diablo 2 reforged in the works, that means D4 is like 3-4 years out and they need to throw something out there in the meantime.

In Diablo 4: Rakanishu you play the leader of a small Fallen pack trying to protect your family from endless assault by horrible Adventurers. You must scrape and scramble to survive, leveling up your pack, gaining new members, and gearing them up by scavenging the dead or defeating weakened...

Updates for the Commander crowd: -Precons are no longer a one-time Summer deal, they will now accompany the major expansion releases and have characters themed for that expansion, like the Throne of Eldraine Brawl decks did. Looking at 2-4 Precons per expansion. -In Quarter 3 we'll basically be...

Random fanart from reddit.

what if the other side of the world is norrath!?!??!!?

Game-mechanics wise, POE is great (might do a better job of gating off some of the accreted gameplay mechanics so that new players have time to digest/understand them one-by-one as they level instead of being bukkake-shotgunned in the face as early as possible). Gameplay-feel-wise, even if...

Yeah, we get a new class every other expansion, and it's always busted as fuck. Gotta move them units. Unfortunately for Blizzard, they fucked up with MOP and their busted new class was weird and confusing and started at level 1, so nobody played it. They learned their lesson from that...

WoW was all downhill after they added Hunter to beta.

Gotta go for that May 2022 release date to keep a consistent 10 year release cadence.

All I know is whatever the next class we get added is, it'll be an agility leather melee DPS. Definitely not Mail Ranged/Healer.

I don't remember ever actually finding out that I was the "nephalim." I talked to a ghost at a bridge, went to murder a forest, and when I came back to him he was talking about how I should know my proud heritage now that I know I'm a nephalim. I guess killing something in the forest was...

I can't wait for a 6 month testing period with only access to the first 15 minutes of content again!

Prediction: Whatever D4 teaser trailer they show will end with a fade to black, pause, Deckard Cain's voice saying "stay a while, and listen," then release year on screen

Can definitely see Lich King vs Aspects tensions being a thing, seeing as DKs are killing and reanimating drakes in both legion and bfa. Bolvar is probably pretty salty about being cursed by that dragon breath.

I've been really enjoying the game since they added the brawler's glove items. Having some option for CC mitigation reduces some frustration. Looking forward to the new champion rotation. Pantheon may not have been here long, but I am already completely happy to boot him.

They're "second tier" tanks in most content right now, but I doubt if you're just popping in that you'll touch any of the extremes where you actually feel any inferior. There's not a huge difference between the "best" tanks and the "lesser" ones atm. DH tanking still feels great to play, and...

They're all fine. Depending on what role you want to play, the Monk/Rogue/Druid are the most likely ones to make for quick pick up Mythic+ if you want to try that. Hunter may have a bit more of a wait on M+ because people are idiots who think you need Mythic Invitational comps to do midlevel...

Nothing could possibly go wrong with dumping all the corruption from our gear into the chamber of the heart.

We one-shot ra-den server first on accident on our first pull after 60% of the raid died instantly. As a Brewmaster tank I was literally unkillable thanks to vengeance and proper cool down/stagger/guard management. Shit was a combination of insane and hilarious. God I miss raiding actual...

Monk community created its own reforge calculator to ensure that you had the maximum raw number of stats with mastery being ever so slightly higher than the rest (including recalculating enchants gems and potential upgrading). This led to Rune of Reorigination making WW monks go super Saiyan...

I may not be smarter than a fourth grader but thanks to the FoH forums I'm reasonably certain I could take roughly 28 of them in a fight.

The reality was likely that reforging didn't push engagement metrics enough because it made most gear "fine" so less minmaxy folks probably just stopped chasing upgrades "too soon" each tier. Also, the monk community and our RoRo reforge shenanigans may have contributed

Just give me back the two-step item upgrade system and have warforge/titanforge be free upgrade steps. Same end point, less grinding if you're lucky.

There's a datamined a scaling -corruption aura too, so there's probably going to be something to grind to let you use more corrupt gear at once over time.

At this rate they're going to pour so much RNG into WoW loot they'll have none left for Diablo 4 and it'll all be fixed-stat, specific-named drops.

We're having a Pioneer $1K in town early December apparently

Too many people that "dreamed of working for blizzard one day" ended up working there, instead of people actually good at their jobs. My friend working at Bioware says it's the same over there, a bunch of folks who made it their career goal to work at a place where none of the people...
