I don’t get why anyone who has access to Diablo 3 would be excited about this?

 

[Orbital2060]

Pretty excited for this. Signed up and ready to go on launch day.

People who want the below (i.e., new narrative Diablo 3 content):

It's set before Diablo 3. Infact, it's set 5 years after Diablo 2.

Interesting. And there'll be a dedicated PC version. All of this sounds fantastic; at minimum it seems like this will be a cool stopgap in the run-up to Diablo 4's release. . .one hopes.

 

[Haggard]

The first Diablo game I´ll completely ignore....
I hope this fails horribly and be it just so blizzard doesn`t continue chasing the mobile money anymore.

 

[Magic Carpet]

This game is free correct?

 

[HF2014]

This game is free correct?

Yeah. But get ready to spend dollars. Sure there will be some microtransactions that younwill not be able to pass. Auction house making a comeback?

 

[March Climber]

I will try it out, but just be careful if you do.

Because that game is old, dead and has no content?
Pretty simple really

So you want a watered down carbon copy that is inferior in every way with egregious, predatory pay to win elements tacked on?

alright then. have fun.

alright then. have fun.

oh wow the shitty mobile game has "new" content? it must be worth your time then. enjoy mindless consumption because it has a brand you recognize plastered on it.

Shitty? Have you played because pretty sure you haven't, if you're just gonna shitpost and don't care for the game at all, you should do something better with your life.
Thanks though, I'll be playing while thinking about you crying that someone is playing a game you don't like

Don't forget to give them your money out of spite too.

It's my money, so don't worry about it, kid

 

[The Stig]

Hard pass.

 

[ManaByte]

PC pre-load is up. Over 25GB.

 

[Fuz]

Stay away from Diablo Immoral.

 

[rubenburgt]

I find it funny that this game won't be released in The Netherlands and Belgium because those countries have stronger rules against loot boxes.

This alone tells me how heavily this game will focus on microtransactions.

 

[nominedomine]

Diablo is a perfect fit for mobile and I mean that as an insult.

 

[Barakov]

I will try it out, but just be careful if you do.

Oof. Hopefully they'll----

Oh yeah. This is going to be a shitshow.

 

[Inviusx]

As a F2P mobile game, I'll never be able to trust that they aren't manipulating loot drops to drive players towards the cash shop.

 

[Jennings]

As a F2P mobile game, I'll never be able to trust that they aren't manipulating loot drops to drive players towards the cash shop.

They admitted to doing this with Diablo 3, so there's no reason to think they'd avoid it here.

 

[BlueHawk357]

As I can’t game on console often due to lots of factors; Wife, kids wanting to rightfully share TV, and being a full time carer means it’s hard to just sit with a controller at times - so this will be a blessing just like Apex and LoL is.

Hopefully more games follow suite soon too.

 

[BennyBlanco]

PC version have controller support?

 

[Magic Carpet]

PC pre-load is up. Over 25GB.

25 GB for a cell phone game? Nice. I think my phone can handle that.

 

[Josemayuste]

Why might I play this when I own Diablo III and Diablo II resurrected..

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

I’ll give it a go, but don’t see myself sinking time into this when D2R still exists

 

[Orbital2060]

25 GB for a cell phone game? Nice. I think my phone can handle that.

It says 3.5 GB on the app store page from my phone (an Apple 10R).

 

[Xyphie]

Is there a list for which European servers are "claimed" by various nationalities that don't have their own? Really don't want to play with a bunch of non-English speakers.

 

[DavidGzz]

oh wow the shitty mobile game has "new" content? it must be worth your time then. enjoy mindless consumption because it has a brand you recognize plastered on it.

So you see, it's free to try so I'll play it and decide if it's good enough to keep playing like any other game. All games in this genre become mindless but the loot chase is usually fun. We'll decide if it's fun but we appreciate you looking out for us, man!

 

[RoboFu]

It’s like mobile devices slapped your moms... and raped your dads.

 

[GenericUser]

I'm looking forward to it. I need something to play when I have nothing to do at work. Will there be console versions as well? That would be sweet, playing during lunch break and continuing at home after work.

 

[nikos]

Excited to finally play this. The devs said pretty much everything I wanted to hear in the last Q&A. Should be good on both mobile and PC.

 

[Panajev2001a]

As a F2P mobile game, I'll never be able to trust that they aren't manipulating loot drops to drive players towards the cash shop.

I think there is an innate promise they will do that. Spending millions developing content and marketing it over years just for the hope people may spend some money on a totally optional and really unnecessary cash shop where they can enjoy mindless fun without it… yeah not happening .

 

[Icymanipulator]

I’m fairly excited for this. Will be nice to play on my phone from time to time.

 

[Rykan]

I don’t get why anyone who has access to Diablo 3 would be excited about this?

It's going to be playable on both PC and Mobile and will most likely be a live service games which means it should get a lot more new content added over time than D3 did.

 

[kraspkibble]

i'm excited for it. got tired of diablo 3 long ago. i just hope they don't go too hard with micro transactions. i don't mind some but if it's purely p2w then fuck that.

Diablo 3 had a cash shop? Either I'm blind or it was really well hidden.

 

[Inviusx]

Hes referring to the early days of D3 when the real money auction house existed. They definitely manipulated legendary drops to inflate prices. That all ended when the auction house got ripped out and the game was ported to console.

 

[Paasei]

It will not be released here in NL. Apparently it has too many lootboxes. So instead of adjusting that, Blizzard decided to not release it here.

Is Hearthstone available?

Just wondering where on the lootbox-o-meter that sits

It is, yes.

 

[Greirat]

So will the PC version be full of the same awful microtransactions and timer mechanics as typical mobile games? Will this bring PC gaming down by making this kind of thing acceptable?

 

[Orbital2060]

It is, yes.

Ok so that doesnt represent a problem

Because there is an obvious element of loot boxing with buying card packs. But maybe thats different.

Why would they put a game out in a country where it cannot make any money? there is 0 indication of what their like, if you have a f2p model with random drops, you can’t be in that country. that’s all it says.

People who complain about loot boxes don’t seem to consider games like Hearthstone or Magic The Gathering to be the same for some reason.

a lot of people just want to circle jerk, and a lot of titles don’t fit for that.
