I'm hyped. I'm sure the dozens of us who still like this game are excited as well.

 

[StereoVsn]

That looked good. Always liked playing a Hammerdin!

 

[Mengy]

Pretty good trailer. Looking forward to learning any details on the content coming with it.

 

[Dorfdad]

I'm not sure why a Diablo 4 switch 2 version hasn't been announced yet… was thinking this would come bundled but I dunno now

Do they ever actually explain how they keep coming back? How many times have they been re-re-resurrected?

You can't kill them because they just reform in the Black Abyss within the Burning Hells. All attempts to contain them ultimately fail. I do believe the only way to actually get rid of them would require destroying the Black Abyss. Which is a pretty tall order considering the kind of power you'd need to do that. That's without even considering the power and resources you'd have to expend just to get there and fight off the hordes of Hell as you attempted it.

At least, that's what I've come to understand.

That's more or less what I've come to understand as well. Never quite understood why Angels can die but prime evils can't, unless you're Uldyssian and just say "I wish you never existed" and the demon poofs like he did to Mephisto's son. Kind of... Dumb

I still haven't played the first expansion.

Hell, I haven't played D4 after beating it at launch. From what I've read, they're made a lot of changes over the year so it's probably gonna feel like a brand new game.

Not necessary gameplay-wise, the builds/play styles haven't changed much. But the progression and gear systems are vastly different now.

I had my reservations with the leveling up system and thought Diablo 3 did it better, let's see if the new style is more to my liking.

I can't get into the bnet shop to buy it... the shop is down

 

[Gamer79]

I played hundreds of hours of Diablo IV and not looking to go back unless it's worth my wilds. Pretty fucking stupid to have a game called Diablo and in part 4 he is no where to be found.

Did the progression alter your character's power curve? I only played through the campaign once, but new gear never seemed to give you wild swings. The game just felt so falt in that regard.

 

[StereoVsn]

I tried to get into D4 and was bored out of my mind for a year or two. I have tried twice and just noped out. Has anything changed in the last year or do you all think the expansion will help?

 

[Durin]

I remember when I got excited for pretty much everything Blizzard announced, now I can't even muster anything for this expansion because the base game campaign was too boring to finish.

So you're saying there is a chance?

The best class returns.

Absolutely. I think that's the biggest pull of diablo-like game, D4 is not different.

You were barely scratching the surface for beating the campaign. End game builds are normally vastly more powerful.

When you finally got the key piece equipment after serious grind, and it drastically transcends your build into a slaughter machine, that sense of empowering was really satisfying.

Finishing the campaign and most side quest just bored me to tears. In D3, a legendary drop along the way could make you feel like a god for 5-10 levels before everything caught back up to you. A legendary drop in D4 felt no different than vendor trash. I also wasn't much of a fan of the the open world or respawning enemies though I realize the later is a product of the former. And all the monetization shit was a huge drag.

Diablo 3 was just a much more interesting game to progress through and leveling up your character brought more surprising and fun abilities. Diablo 4's classes feel so flat and soulless.

 

[NT80]

Is there any chance they might make separate Diablo series aimed at following up Diablo 2 catered towards those fans?
Seems like they did a pretty good job on Resurrected though I don't know how well it did.

Just play Path of Exile or Grim Dawn or something like that

 

[drotahorror]

Just bought the first expansion a couple months ago. Now it's bundled for free with the new one.

So I guess I'll just wait a couple years again, to play for a season.

I dig the game though. Definitely dropped more hours in d4 than PoE2.

I've only played s1, s6, and s10. S10 was really fun.

After hearing how fun paladin was, I'm not even going to bother playing again until I get the expansion (on a deep sale).

Longer I wait the better the game gets anyway.

Maybe they'll drop the whole package one day on Switch 2.
