Been a while since I played it, didn't think of that. Wasn't a fan of it in Legion either.

Leveling has never been a challenge in any ARPG so the scaling is whatever. You run around 1 shotting everything higher/lower/equal to your level if you gear/build correctly so what difference does it make?
Getting to 100 and then doing whatever end game loop is the only thing that will matter once the new game smell wears off.

Pretty much how D3 was after RoS released. You didn't have to do any of the story do do any content, most of the "Content" was spamming seasons and rifting as much as you could.
If this game releases with the D3 business model, I'd be thrilled..
things that are questions to me still:
Are seasons going to ultra fuck those NOT subbed?
Are they going to vault content?
It all rolls into:
If they were fully transparent I wouldn't have an issue. They gotta hide as much shit they wanna shove in til the end as possible so people have their orders in and can't / don't want to back out.
I am 100% okay with companies going "hey, this is our game, it's 50 USD, doesn't have online EVER and no mods, just this" okay cool, clearly stated. Stardew Valley did this, Terraria did this, minecraft did this...all massively more popular than anyone thought possible. Talking about transparency, not feature set.
The reason these big companies don't do this is they want to do market testing.
BIG data dump, watch pre-orders.
BIG monetization dump, watch pre-orders.
BIG pile of shit on their consumers chest, watch pre-orders.
back off off big pile of shit on their chest.

Diablo 3 basically had the same thing iirc. When you entered a zone, all the mobs went to your current level. Now if it was a big map and in the intial leveling you could out level the mobs a lot, but soon as you zoned into a new level of that map, or a new area, all the mobs scaled to your level.
It really doesn't matter in an ARPG. You're not going back to farm low level mobs for a specific drop like you do in MMOs and you just want to power through the mobs. If this anything like previous diablos, once you reach end game and the gear, you plow through everything anyway.

I agree that it kinda blows and I'm not a fan but at the same time it definitely makes leveling and gearing quicker cuz everything you're killing is always relevant. Also, some areas do not scale like for instance stronghold levels will have a minimum level so if you go to one at like 15 and it's a 25 level area the mobs will be 25 and a lot harder.

Wtf is happening with that helmet?
Edit: nvm I see it now, the top shield spike blended in with the helm, thought it was some fucked up design.

Three disconnects today in the past 5hrs, not bad. Queue has been around 35m each time.
Female Necro is a tranny. Blizz needs to get over their horrendous fear of tiddies.
As for the Necro class. I think it'll only be fun for me when we see the Paragon stuff and Legendary effects. My best memory of Diablo was playing a D3:RoS Necro when bone armor could proc gem that cast smite or something... more often than intended. It was fun though! I don't see anyway to have curses become auras, or bone armor that you can keep going all the time.

I thought I saw something later in tree that gave you swirling bone armor around you and your golem? Maybe I read it wrong? But yeah I like lazy builds too, passive things you have going and then proc shit, or abilities you can just hold down and move(spin to win).
Not in game atm, had to stop to actually eat something today
