A Shining Example
Really? Just shows how this game fell of the radar then after launch. Jeez.
I spent more time in Beta then the full product
It's not really PVP just a simple brawl mode (1v1).

Diablo 3 was a failure (not sales wise) of epic proportions. Anything else is living in denial.
They ripped off so many people for a bad product. I was so disappointed.
However. Even if I won't be able to change my friends views (they will not ever touch another Blizzard product). I believe that things can be turned around. And I hope for another expansion after RoS.
Soon my child *rubs hands*When is this coming to PS4?
I can see many folks haven't been keeping up with the news. I've been playing on PTR and beta. Loot 2.0 is a disaster. For starters, they implemented a stupid 4/2 system whereby an item can roll at most 4 primary and 2 secondary affixes. A primary affix is any affix you'd actually want (damage, defense, healing) and a secondary affix is stuff that is "nice to have" (pickup radius, MF, GF). You used to be able to find items with 6 primary affixes on them. Also they nerfed attack speed again. There are other issues but I really don't feel like listing them all here. Folks thinking they will be replacing all their gear with this patch are in for a rude awakening.
Don't honestly get the hyperbole about Diablo 3. The game is mechanically brilliant, unbeaten by Torchlight 2, PoE, whatever.
I spent 150 hours before hitting a wall at pre-patch endgame, and this was in the first month or so. It's incredible for a game to captivate me for that long.
Yup, had this not been the successor to D2, it would have had a completely different reputation. It has the best and most satisfying combat of any hack and slash game. This expansion seems to do a lot of things right, if they can pull that off for the second expansion, it will bring back a lot of fans.Don't honestly get the hyperbole about Diablo 3.

Sounds like balancing. Don't worry about it, I'm sure at level 70 everything will be okay.
Loot 2.0 works in concert with the AH removal to basically make you more likely to get loot that is actually good for you. Anything you craft uses this, and something like 5% of all other drops use it, such that it CANNOT have stats that aren't useful for you (There are still stats you might not like as much, but it's amazing how much less likely a bad item is when it can't have STR INT DEX VIT GOLD PICKUP RADIUS as all of its mods).
As far as post launch, Presumably you already had seen nephalem valor, that's going away in 2.0 but it was a post launch thing. PAragon levels were added a while ago, kind of a grindy additional levelling mechanism for post max level fun, gives you bonus stats when you get one including magic find and gold find, in RoS that is changing so that it raises infinitely and gives you more meaningful upgrades in the form of runspeed, reduced resource costs, crit, etc. It's VERY similar to badass ranks in borderlands 2 if you've played that.
They added monster power difficulties, and reduced inferno in general greatly. Mobs at appropriate difficulties don't tend to one shot you like they used to, and build diversity is much more lax than launch D3 (Barbs don't go tanky anymore for instance typically). In general it's more fun like Diablo should be, less punishing in stupid ways. they reworked legendaries, added tons more, just generally made 'fun' items. Added uber bosses which you fight by farming keys, kind of like the uber tristram stuff in D2, and those give you mats to make a really nice XP gain ring for alts or mains.
The xpac itself is adding a lot of other stuff, but this is just basic things that were added post launch.
Have you tried the van Helsing arpg? It's pretty great.Thanks for the write-up. I'm another who played around 200 hours early after launch and then quit in a sort of hissy fit of anger at Wilson. Lol. I may get back into this with the full ExPac. I need that ARPG itch scratched, I'm tired of PoE, and there's not enough Grim Dawn out yet (though I did quite enjoy act 1 alpha).

Looks like the patch is up, updater is updating
I'm totally done with Diablo 3 on PC because I just enjoy Marvel Heroes so much more. But I will most likely play the PS4 version when it comes out so get on that Blizzard.
Well, this is concerning.
Patcher was chugging along just fine, now this is all I get...
The thing is that you'll only find level 60 versions of these new legendaries which become outdated within 5 levels after starting RoS, so it's kinda pointless to farm for these unless you're not getting RoS.Eh, they said that they were adding in gear that had effects that changed the way you played. I'd call that special over what was in the game until now if it's true.

Yeah but that doesn't really have anything to do with the loot 2.0. Hopefully we get the exp boost along with the patch.Still, it's a good time to get a few more Paragon 2.0 levels while we're effectively level capped.

Really excited about jumping back in for the first time in like 18 months.

Just saying, folks in this thread thinking they will find a bunch of good items with this patch are in for disappointment (assuming they are at least half way decently geared).
With respect to level 70 items (which folks will not be able to get with this patch) I've played the beta at level 70 and it's not okay. The numbers go up for the items at level 70 but you will still hit a wall 40 hours in...and you can't trade with people unless you are in a party with them when an item drops and even then you have just a 2 hour window.
Just recently they announced that players would no longer be able to enchant legacy items...as was the plan for months. Their reason was because some level 60 Loot 1.0 items, when you reroll just 1 stat with the enchantress were better than the level 70 Loot 2.0 items with a reroll. If that isn't an indictment of Loot 2.0, I don't know what is.

Why does everyone have to download RoS now, even if they aren't getting it at launch? I'd be buying the disc version anyway. So whats the point of a disc version?
So what is adventure mode?
Adventure Mode is a game mode for Diablo III that will be introduced in Reaper of Souls. Here, all the game's waypoints are unlocked, and are presented as a map instead of a list. Players can access any waypoint at any time. Bounties and Nephalem Rifts are available in this mode. Horned icons represent bosses.
None of the quests in the Campaign Mode are available in this mode. The mode can be accessed from the outset of the game. Tyrael provides a tutorial to the player at the outset..

Wait til Good Friday for half a price deal.£33?!
£33 for one new Act, one new class and a bunch of gameplay improvements that should have been in the original game? Adventure mode sounds great and feels closer to how people played D2, but it simply removes content and adds QoL improvements.
I was hyped, but that price feels exploitative. Thought it would be closer to £15.
Keep in mind servers are down until 2pm est and likely even later for maintenance.
