So if you are a sorceress, you can recruit a Druid or a barb or a rogue or Guardian companion
Since the Canon lore of good diablo games has always been about a group of all of the classes facing the storyline
Diablo 1 was Aidan, jazareth and moreina
Diablo 2 was xul, isendra, Natalya, cassia
Diablo 4 could be Paige, Emilio, Narphet, Wulf
This would also make Itemization synergize better with companions since it’s already tailored for existing classes
Diablo 4 having character customization (face, skin, etc.) kind of undermines this in my opinion, though i guess it sort of still works. I assume Diablo 4 will make the protagonists more like generic no-name heroes.
Also, Natalya is not the Assassin you play as in D2, right? Pretty sure not.
Phil shenk himself confirmed Natyalya is the canon Assassin. it as it was a foreshadowing of the upcoming events of lord of destruction expansion
Also, how would character customization undermines Canon characters? Especially them being our companions?
Are you saying the D4 names you listed are the mercs in D4, not the protagonists? If so, then okay, I get what you mean now.
No, what I’m saying is that Diablo 4 merc aren’t merc, they are the protagonists you didn’t choose when you created your character
You gave them all names though, right? Fair enough I guess. SKyrim makes you a specific character, despite being totally random and generated by the player. I guess Mass Effect does the same thing with Commander Shephard.
I gave them names based on the hypothesis that Diablo 4 last class is the last Diablo 2 mercenary not represented as a class in D4
Another spam thread. We need mods.
Makes around 1-2 post per day and does not participate when a new one arrives…
They should be your own alts, but they advance, when active as a follower, at 10% normal rate and cannot benefit from extra XP awards/shrines/pylons/events.
That is a paradox. They are participating, by definition, in the creation of the new post.
That’s called baiting the waters, i.e. they create a contentious or incendiary topic, contribute just enough to get people worked up, and then sit back and watch the chaos they caused as everyone else fights each other. They only come back if the thread is popular but looks like it’s slowing down, then they throw a little bit more chum in.
Or lighter fluid and fan the flames.
You are not allowed to spam. Neither with posts. If you don’t participate and just keeps on creating new posts… Well it’s against the forum rules.
pretty sure that is called grouping.
Spam is. The rest, no.
And making posts just for the sake of it, with no context like maximums, or the spam of sekscalibre with the votes as well, are not allowed.
I don’t hate this idea
Where your alt are the companions you can recruit
Well, in arpg grouping implies other players… we are talking about AI companions… you are playing solo
Being able to use your alts is definately a neat idea,
Yep, it would be more Gameplay immersive
And also it would stop penalizing support builds used in solo situations
Just like bravata is doing.
