    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    People mostly don't care about cash shops if the game is balanced around drops / access being reasonably attainable via playing. Marvel Heroes was a great example of this. You could buy every kind of boost imaginable but it was still very easy to progress without spending a dime. There were no...

    He literally was wooden in Happy Gilmore. Goddamn gator!

    The consoles and full crossplay will definitely send sales numbers way up.

    Well, the context is right there in that post. And you're already willing to "wiggle out of it" for them. Which is kind of the point.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    It's kind of weird to call something a boost if it's available to anyone and everyone. It's baseline at that point. So why is it called a boost? That's pretty nebulous.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    People probably wouldn't care if it existed in a vacuum, but it doesn't. The game will be timegated, limiting resource gain potential which limits progression based on a schedule that Blizzard determines for you as a player. So if a battle pass is providing you a way to bypass those progression...

    The Night Agent

    Show is decent but there are some issues with the cast and acting ability

    Love & Death

    I'm pretty sure Plemons is just lost in time. He's looked exactly like that forever... and he's always sleeping with the hottest broad in the cast in these shows. He might be Dracula.

    I don't think I've ever seen a more nonsensical and uncompelling trailer in my life.

    I actually haven't told anyone how to spend their money. Just pointed out what they're money is going to buy. And yea, that is why Blizzard makes this version of D4 instead of something with more depth. It does surprise me that there is so much wishful thinking in this thread though.

    And it hasn't been the last two expacs, Blizzard has been time gating shit behind rep grinds that you can only advance via dailies since the Argent Tournament in WotLK

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    The only lesson Blizzard has learned is that people will pay to play that sort of game and it allows them to trickle out minor updates because those systems keep people on the treadmill for longer. We already know they have specific currency type drops used for upgrades that are tied to them...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I would say it's more that in most of those games you could mostly choose what you want to do, and when. If you only get 30 hours out of it then yea, you aren't engaged by any of the mechanics and aren't interested enough to try other builds or characters. And that's that. In D4, you'll be...

    I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Denying myself entertainment? That's a really strange take. You think this game is going to be so fantastic that skipping it equates to denying myself entertainment? "You can't afford not to buy D4!"

    The reason people here, on this forum, are vocal about games like these are because they will be successful and perpetuate the phoned in dev style and garbage game systems. Saying "Eh, whatever. It'll probably be shallow but it's a Blizzard game so it'll probably be fun until I pay attention to...

    So you would say that incompetent developers changing the game completely from D2 to the point its not even recognizable as a diablo franchise game and adding an RMAH carries no risk? Handing over that franchise to incompetent people who don't care about the IP at all isn't risky? Interesting

    Dailies and weeklies are already confirmed my friend. Actually confirmed. Including limited resources for progression tied to them. This shouldn't be a surprise. It's Blizzards mantra since forever ago.

    How is level scaling a Lost Ark ripoff or a surprise at all? Have you seen WoW since Legion?

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    This is exactly what I've seen as well, even in my own company, however its not a manager driven decision but an executive level, company wide initiative. It's pretty bad. So teams that used to have this under control, where managers offloaded that scrum master responsibility to their dev team...

    Yea, I'm saying the same thing. Doesn't want the job, unless you are a fool and will pay him an exorbitant amount of money, then he'll do it.

    Home Improvement

    I think the point is that there are knuckleheads out there who will hire them at that price. So they throw out a number that turns it from "I don't need a job this small with my current backlog of work" into "Well I'll do it if you're willing to pay me a king's ransom"

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    "Scrum Master", "Agile Coach", "Agile Engineer".... all bullshit positions that do nothing but add confusion and chaos to the software development life cycle and cost companies money and time. If the Scrum Master isn't your lead dev and you've created an entirely new position just to fill that...

    Not sure why you'd want more active skills in an ARPG. It's supposed to fast paced, hectic, action combat. The more you bloat the combat the worse it feels just by the nature of the core game mechanics.
