How many CGI cutscenes are we to expect for this expansion? One at the start and end?

For what I assume will be a full priced expansion, they best pad it with more!

 

[duckroll]

How many CGI cutscenes are we to expect for this expansion? One at the start and end?

Probably. If it's one new Act, that would be consistent with the main game too.

 

[Dinosaur Tamer]

My inner Nostradamus tells me:
One new Act. Old classes retun. Runewords. Charms. Fixed item stats that the main weapon is no longer the most important item. Crazy item suffixes like in D2. No longer build around the AH.

So, would you call yourself an optimist?

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

So will we expect to see this five years later?

 

[davepoobond]

so now we killed the devil, we are now going to kill death?

when do we destroy God or whatever?

hahahahaa you wish. They will just add few things from old diablo games and they will do nothing with gameplay and progression mechanics.

 

[Nymerio]

I'm still torn about D3. On one hand I had a lot of fun playing it with friends, on the other I was really disappointed because it could have been so much more. I'll definitely be checking this out, I don't think Diablo is a lost cause, they can still fix this.

A new artisan as well. (There's a painfully-obvious spot in each town that basically says "yep, we're adding a third artisan right here in a future expansion".)

 

[mandiller]

They've got a lot of convincing to do to win me back over to Diablo 3. Hope you're up for it Blizzard.

 

[Bacon_Boss]

I'm hoping it's more than one act, or at least much, much bigger acts for xpacs.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Here we go again with the over sophisticated quotes. Metzen literature TM (c).

Don't worry' i'm sure someone will gift it to you.

 

[Dark_castle]

Put Paladin back in, and I will get the expansion.

I need my Holy Knight fix.

 

[itllgrobak]

Diablo II's expansion did alot of good things, maybe this will too...

Yes Diablo III was Hugely disappointing, but it's hard for me to hate it:

 

[CorwinB]

I'm cautiously optimistic on this one now if Jay Wilson is not working on it.

 

[duckroll]

A new artisan as well. (There's a painfully-obvious spot in each town that basically says "yep, we're adding a third artisan right here in a future expansion".)

Maybe the new artisan can be someone who polishes shit into gold. That way you can actually get something out of all the drops in the game now.

Really excited for a new CGI opening cinematic.

Okay thats a very nice price tag.

 

[blackprophesy]

That is a bit of a ridiculous wand...

Anyway, I am really looking forward to hearing more about this expansion. Hopefully they would have addressed some of the itemisation issues, so people don't need to spend $170 to get good gear...(extreme case of course).

 

[Yoshichan]

Really excited for a new CGI opening cinematic.

This. Quality CGI stuff, that's for sure!

 

[Morokh]

Includes a complete revamp of all the game or bust !



surely not going to happen ...

 

[Narag]

Will complain but buy it anyhow.

 

[Noisepurge]

im hopeful about this, please do a major overhaul of the maingame while at it! delete the marketplace!

 

[Teknoman]

Please please PLEASE find a way to connect with Matt Uelmen to compose for the new areas.

Please?

 

[ReijMan]

Had good fun co-oping with friends in D3, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I notice how people have no feelings for D3 like one could have love for Minecraft, or Dark Souls..or D2.. I believe the RMAH killed that passion for 99,999% and made a few bucks for the rest..

Anyway, day 1 buy if I can convince friends to co-op

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I'd like to see what they do with this.

 

[Acidote]

The game has changed for the best since Jay Wilson left. It is not what it should be, but it has improved.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Doesn't this kinda rob some hype from the console release of D3?

Or will the console versions also include the expansion?

 

[Suairyu]

I'll also say I do hope this is more than just a single extra act. Lord of Destruction only being one new location was a big disappointment.

An act the size of act 2 plus another the size of act 4 would be fair. Or two acts the size of act 3.

 

[raven777]

No way to include the expansion for the console version.

I don't think Blizzard cares that much for the console version.

DLC, I'd think.

 

[Hesemonni]

D3 got alot better with patches, but I think I gave up on it after Pl30 or so. The itemization just sucked ass on so many levels. Will pick up the expansion at some point depending on my backlog growth :/

 

[davepoobond]

I don't have enough blizzbux to buy this and the wow expansion. Yuck. Gotta sell some more shiZ

 

[Card Boy]

Not falling for this shit again.

 

[Duxxy3]

I am waiting for Diablo 4. I have no confidence that they are able to fix Diablo 3.

 

[BLCKATK]

I'll keep my eye on it. Diablo III was my first Diablo experience and it didn't stick with me for long. Probably because literally all my friends quit within like a month of release.

But an expansion would definitely be something to look into.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

If they didn't revamp damn near everything then I won't care.

I want

-Better skill system.

-Better stat system.

-Completely re-done itemization (really fucking sad when 1 person on a forum can come up with farrrrrrr better ideas then Blizz themselves came up with).

-Charms, jewels, runewords, etc. (not only variety but would actually add a reason for white items to exist in this game).

-Ethereal items.

-Random layouts of areas.

-Link the fucking acts together.

-Get rid of the limitation where the quest you are on determines bosses that are alive.

And so on. Game was a big step forward in the combat department but about 30 steps back on everything else.

You and your friends should give II a shot. Its old, but still holds up today.

 

[EDarkness]

I'll be there day one again. Unlike a lot of people here, I enjoyed it quite a bit. No reason not to pick up the expansion.

 

[BLCKATK]

Honestly I'd love to. From everything I've heard about it sounds like a great game.

Nailed it. The no random areas and the shit itemization are the biggest offenders for a game in this genre.

 

[questionmark]

Did anyone like Diablo 3 - except Yoshichan?

Loved it. Hyped for more.

The lack of content and massive difficulty spike at act 2 on inferno (think that's the name of the hardest difficulty, haven't played it in months) at launch killed it for me. Got it basically for free with the WoW annual pass and ended up being able to pay off Mists of Pandaria and Heart of the Swarm with the RMAH though.

 

[Teknoman]

I liked it...but it made some really dumb decisions story wise and the music was no where near the quality bar the series has set.

 

[ezekial45]

I haven't played the game in months, but I'm willing to come back and give it another go. I hope they can do right and get things back on the right track.

Ethereal items would be amazing. I also want runes back and the horadric cube. I'm ok with the skill system though. I like being able to easily change up my build, try out new skills, etc. Though I wish there were more items that gave bonuses to skills, but that's more a problem of the shitty itemization.

 

[SirNinja]

Someone was willing to part with $170 for that?

Brb, going to make a couple thousand by selling all my wizard's gear.

 

[syoaran]

Kinda/Sorta hyped for this. I got a good 50 hours of enjoyment from D3, but like most after that I had no interest in the pointless grind fest hammed by very uninteresting itemization.

Looking forward to the Book of Tyreal too, Book of Cain was one of the best things Blizzard commissioned in years.

I raided with a guy in WoW who spent 1000s on in-game items and accounts, im pretty sure his dad was like a Saudi oil Sheik.

 

[Sciz]

Scrap the AH, fix the loot, and do something to improve the boring/nonexistent level generation and I'll take a look. As is, they're not getting me back.
