$14.99 seems incredibly reasonable to me to be honest. Was expecting it to be $25.99, $20.99 at the very least.
I'm in. Haven't played D3 in a long time, got into the beta for necro but I prefer not losing everything I earned while playing, so I'm waiting until launch. I'm sure necro will be

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
$15 is a a bit high, but come on. One dollar is laughably unrealistic.

Buying the $15 dlc is a better deal than selling the game for $20 and shell out another $20 for the new bundle.

A class with all new gear and abilities to mix/match sounds like an easy $15 worth.
Same. The PS4-version could really use some trophies for seasons, if nothing else.
It'll be fun plus I think people are under-estimating the fact you get a minimum (if you play seasons) of ~40-50 hrs of content out of playing that one class.
Yes you can argue you'd get that without buying it by just playing other classes (which by all means you don't have to), but that's the point, it's a new class with new things to do for that 40-50 hrs.

Stash tabs aren't a Scorpio only thing since consoles don't have stash tabs at all lol. You just buy more slots with gold.
Anyway it's better than $20 but still would have hoped they would throw in a little more... I'd be more tempted to buy it at launch for $10.

One character class is a lot.

i assumed it would be closer to $10 tbh, but when you factor in the amount of time i've put into this game with very little investment, as well as the rather large amount of free content we've received over the years... i'm willing to look the other way this time.
I guess when you consider the amount of work that goes into the new class (new armor/weapons that need to be added. New sets and therefore, new set dungeons)... there's a not-insignificant amount of work being done here.

Ehhh, not sure on character packs. On one hand I want to try him out but on the other, it's the same grind over and over with every season change. Seasons need modifiers added to them or something.

I'm totally okay with this price. If they were doing a character for this price every few months it'd add up, yeah, but the post-Reaper support for this game has been very good, and all free, so in my mind this is fair. Stuff like Kanai's cube, new areas, new items, lots of cool things. So yeah I'll throw them a bone for sure.

haha what
character classes are a pretty big content value for loot rpgs, especially when this one has a ton of new voice lines, armor sets etc.
...Stash tabs aren't a thing on console so how would they have given us 2 more? (I agree that they should have put more things in though)

I've been able to get into Diablo 3 for a few hours here and there over the years, but it never seems to stick. I'll have to try it again soon.

I don't know why people are sticking their noses up at 15 dollars when Reaper of Souls was 40 bucks and added one act. A lot of the changes people associate with RoS was in a free patch that came to the base game even with out purchase of the expansion. Even if "you" vote with your wallet to not support the high price of this DLC, there will be plenty of other people out there that will.

Wait why does PC not get the eternal edition? Right now for a new PC player the battle chest + necromancer pack is $45, lame.
Probably because Diablo 3 is mostly sold as digital game.
CDkeys.com has Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls usually pretty cheaply, that's where i got mine (15€ total or so, IIRC).
Consoles have seasons nowadays, and those are always-online so no need to worry about hacks there.

nnnnno? I mean the only hacked stuff was from items/weapons that were hacked on PS3 and ported in, so non-season stuff is wide open, but since they introduced seasons that stuff should be pretty secure.

I mean I already have mine so no harm there, it's just weird. They could have made a digital "full battle chest" or whatever lol
I think so at least for the non-seasons stuff (and seasons characters eventually stop being seasonal so they'd have to deal with hackers sooner or later)
Then again I haven't joined a public session in months (years?) on console since the hacking started to manifest.
But that means I would have to play path of exile and yeah that's a hard no to playing that game, such an unfun game.
I'll probably get this, 15 for the character isn't a bad price at all.
Oh shit, sweet. I might hop on then. I bought the PS3 version but everything was hacked like crazy and that took the fun out of it. I played the shit out of the PC version but I'd like to have the console to play with my wife.
Unless there's another explanation somewhere, I'm taking that as not expanding the amount of vault space you can buy with gold on consoles.

Grim Dawn is so much fun. I started with soldier and mixed in arcanist. The variety of skills and builds makes D3 kinda boring.
Can't wait for the Inquisitor!

I'm a huge fan of diablo, been a fan since diablo 2.. but their content has been pretty garbage since season 3. I used to not like POE as well until I actually sat down and played it.. its so much more in depth (It pretty much feels like a more complex diablo 2) and they actually introduce NEW content thats free. Regardless, hope blizz gets their act together for a d2 remake or diablo 4.
RoS came with one long Act(the biggest by far), one additional character and the new Adventure mode(that beats having to do the campaign over and over again) which I'm pretty sure is not accessible with the original game. I think it was worth it at that price.
