Awesome, just reinstalled.
Going to grind out the achievements they are turning into Feats of Strength in RoS.
Was getting dangerously close to raiding in WoW again, glad this is tomorrow.
Is there a list somewhere?

Hmm the tweet is deleted but i find it weird if it goes live tommorow since the auction house is closing on march 14th. I think it will come around that date.
RoS will interest me as soon as I can get it for 5 bucks. $40 is a joke.
So from what I understand they are removing Nightmare, Hell and Inferno and having scaled enemies with USER CHOSEN difficulties that add a greater MF bonus correct?
Not sure even with all the improvements I like this idea if there is no end game challenge or arena PVP. What is the point of getting better loot to become stronger? Simply to grind over and over getting stronger and stronger to find better gear?
With D2 and to an extent current D3, getting better gear was a goal and requirement to finish the hardest difficulties (Hell and Inferno respectively) as a sense of accomplishment. D2 was even better in this regard as you needed to be high level/geared up to finish Baal in Hell and then you also had larger unstructured PvP and the allure of trying different skill builds.
So now I choose how hard I want the game to be to get loot for what? To see how fast I can kill stuff to find more loot? Four player PvP brawls just won't cut it for me, and with the challenge of getting strong enough to clear an Act V Inferno gone, I don't see much of a point unless you enjoy just getting stronger and watching mobs explode for the sake of it.
Please tell me I'm missing something here...
Cool, almost 2 years after release I can finally finish this game!

This is actually getting patched to Live and not just on the PTR? How come there aren't any news on the main site regarding this?
Love the people that tried this at launch and now think it can never be fixed. It's been in a good state for a while, this just makes it even better.
Will this also update the existing skills, or just loot?

There will be tomorrow. The patch's sudden release was supposed to be a little surprise. They only hinted at it in this post, which left the patch's release window open. Then that tweet came along...
Exactly this. People have completely forgotten how bad Diablo II was at launch; it was the patches, and especially the expansion, that made it the game it is today.
The existing skills have been balanced quite a bit. Quite a few of the lesser-used ones are much more powerful now.

Yeah, but what is the point in finding lvl 60 loot, if it all will be obsolete in less then a month.

I'm not sure what you're thinking D2 had that D3 doesn't in this regard, or PoE or any other loot game. These are gmes where you get loot for the sake of farming harder things for the sake of getting more loot, often for the sake of doing pointless pvp (just as it was pointless in D2, it is pointless in D3) or for fun on alts or what have you. They're changing the difficulty structure such that essentially you're picking your MP as the old system went, and you don't NEED inferno/nightmare/hell/normal anymore because actual mob level scales with your character.
It's pretty safe to consider this patch the expansion, minus the stuff you actually get with the expansion.
So you won't get:
Crusader class
Level 70 cap
Act V
Adventure Mode
But you will get:
Loot 2.0
Paragon 2.0
Skill and balance changes
Difficulty changes
Cursed chests
I only need 2 things to buy this game
- Controller support
- Offline campaign
I guess is not the moment yet.
You'll be wanting a PS4, then. They've said the controller system won't come to the PC, as it's not just a different control scheme there's a lot of stuff balanced around it.
RoS will interest me as soon as I can get it for 5 bucks. $40 is a joke.
After spending 60 euro on D3 and being disappointed I will wait another 2/3 years and pick up some xpac bundle for cheap.
40 euro for 1 extra class and 1 act.... LOL
And still no PvP......................
Expac only! This is just the loot fixes, where you get better loot, all the class tweaks before RoS, etc.
Also this:
This might be my 'response of the day' and this day has only started. I was thinking the same thing when I read that but I wouldn't have been able to so perfectly articulate it like you did.I know you came hauling ass into the thread to tell us how you can't wait to not buy this game until it's $5, so I'll make this quick; I don't want to hold you up. I just wanted to tell you that Lord Of Destruction, the expansion for Diablo II? The one that came out 13 years ago? That's still $20. So y'know... I guess what I'm saying is... it might be a minute.
I put in much more than that and I think I'm drained too. Sorry Neoism!
Loot 2.0 isn't really anything special if you're already at 60 and have good gear bought from the auction house. It only benefits new players who haven't reached level 60 and haven't geared up since the new gear rolls won't roll as high as the top-tier stuff that could previously be found.
Oh wow I had no idea. I literally just bought and started playing this a few days ago. Anyone have any idea what time the patch is supposed to go live today? And if it's today for Europe too or just North America?
PvP has been in for a while now.
