I am half way through the game. Will I have to start a new game to see any of the new content?

I really don't understand why they released the Necromancer pack a month before the new season starts.
The unusually long time between seasons says to me that they wanted to release it and handle any bugs or balance issues before season 11.

I have this same debate and I'm leaning PC just because of how hard it had been to get into a public game without it being full of cheaters on PS4

I bought the Necromancer on PS4, go to create a new character and it's greyed out while telling me to buy it.
I don't know what's happening.

It's absolutely baffling it isn't an option yet.

Are there any good beginner guides for how seasons work on consoles? I haven't played D3 in ages but am jumping back in for the Necro.

Interesting. So if you play Seasons everything should be cleaner now? Appreciate the response by the way, seems the thread is too busy arguing over the price to help anyone

That's my understanding, but I'm not 100% sure, so I'd defer to others if they had experience with public games during S10. I typically only ever play with a couple of friends and haven't spent a lot of time in public games on either PS4 or PC.
Main reason I don't play the PC version with my friends. :-(
That's assuming all your beta testers are in there to report bugs instead of finding things to take advantage of later to compete in seasons. There's a bit of both.
It's still worth having it live for a few weeks so that if there's anything relatively easy to find, it'll show up on the non-season leaderboards as people who don't play seasons figure things out.
There's really no difference. I don't recall seeing the full game (minus Necro) for less than $25 on sale. That pretty much equates to the $40.

Are the gamepad controls the way to go at this point? I've got the PS4 version of the game, but I'm not really sure what the actual differences are between PS4 and PC other than that they don't have crossplay.
The PC and console versions are really pretty different in how they control and how much you see on the screen. It's not as simple as flipping a toggle, both versions were designed from the ground up to take advantage of their controls.
I think both versions work really well, though I slightly prefer the gamepad controls. It makes the game feel like a souped-up "gauntlet".

There is no reason they cannot allow players on PC to remap to a gamepad. It would be harder than on console due to no evade and the other differences, but if people prefer gamepads why not make the option available.

I remember one of the reasons by bliz is cause pc version has a higher mob density than console versions
Beta/PTR rarely has the volume of players as live does. There are so many scenarios that never play out during testing. That is why there is always tweaking that goes on once something goes live regardless of testing.

Packs are definitely, well, denser on PS4 since the Pro update.

If you mean Season 11, that's July 27. If in general, they started with Season 10.
As for cheating, that's not really a possibility in seasons since you start fresh.
I know people who swear by the UI for Diablo 3 on consoles. I don't know, it just feels clunky and shoddy to me. You can totally tell it's a PC game that's been shoehorned to work on consoles. It's possible that's this is just because of my many many hours of D3 on PC and just how Swift the interface is on there.
Anyway, I'll pick up Necro on PC soon and maybe do a new Campaign or adventure play through before S11:

Diablo 3 delivers again. Sorry haters. This is pure fun.
Maintenance begins in two hours. Lasts one hour. Release for 27th was pretty fucking big lie in EU :/

Can anyone on console check if player 2 has necro access if p1 has purchased it? My wife wants to play a necro, but 30 bucks is a lot considering I'm also going to pick it up on PC

This is tempting.. I adore the necro (my favorite in D2), but not sure I'm down to just farm the same grifts with a new class.
Is it like three new tilesets total for them as well? A change of scenery might help.

If the dlc and both accounts is on the same system it should work only one account on a console has to own the dlc.
I play alot of games where i am the only one who owns the dlc with my sister and it works fine.
Would be strange if it does not also work for this game tbh cuz it also works with COD games and Blizzard and Activision are one nowadays.
So aslong as 1 account owns dlc it should be available for all accounts on your ps system.
If you are using 2 consoles 1 needs to be online at all times i think.
In patch, new areas are free for everyone.

Diablo never ran right for me, it has always had stuttering no matter my frame rate or settings. I grabbed the PS4 version which didn't have the same issue.
Not that it (probably) matters, but that might be fixed for you now because they released a 64-bit client with different graphics options. It fixed the stuttering for me on high-level rifts.

Argh, I couldn't resist after seeing gameplay. He was the only class I played in D2. Easily the most fun class to play now, but...the downside is it's really shit to play on a controller. Targeting is a must and controller targeting is way too inaccurate

How did they differentiate the Necro from the Witch Doctor? I'm seeing people reference corpse explosion as one of his moves. A WD can do that...
Have WDs been obsoleted?
Full disclosure: my main is a WD.

This was one of my concerns as well. WD covers a lot of Necro bases. Pets, diseases, etc.
Cool! I'll at least hop in to check the sets out. If I like 'em I'll probably try the Necro out too.
Uh, no? I actually predicted the price to be $14.99 months ago, because I know Blizzard and what they usually ask. I said I understand that some feel it's not fair (which is why I called it unfair), but personally I don't mind/care the price.
Either way this forth and back about the price is getting old so I'm gonna stop here.
The Necro can command their pets unlike the WD. And other spells are rather different in style. From what i've seen, i figure they are reasonably different.
Also, gear does affect playstyles quite a bit so i reckon they will feel different with full sets if nothing else.
