Diablo IV Announcement Discussion

I watched a bunch of people streaming from BlizzCon yesterday and so far I’m really enjoying it. The only thing I dislike so far is there appears to be less equipment slots for your gear; no shoulders or belts? Hopefully that’s not permanent.

Hyyyyype.

I’m very excited for this. When I saw the trailer I was glued to my monitor. I’m really looking forward to seeing what those two remaining classes are.

The dark look I appreciate. I put a lot of hours into d3 but it was a little saturated and bright and took away from the “dark” esthetic. I feel a lot more dread and foreboding even just looking at the gameplay reveals then d3 ever did. I’m so hyped can’t wait for them to finish it.

Really? They’ve answered this at least twice:

For monetization, they will sell the base game and expansions. They refuse to sell any kind of power.

Monetization. Despite the early development the team has pretty much settled on a base game supported by expansions as the business model for Diablo IV.

It is in fact duriel my friend

OMG - Duriel was in fact he worst boss with his holy freeze aura that killed me the most leveling up. That said I hope in D4 they make Bosses harder to kill. After steam rolling all the D3 bosses I feel they need to make every D4 boss more powerful x ten. I want to have to fear going into a boss fight with the real possibly of DEEDS and having to start over - yea IM HC …

If BIS is bind on pickup I wont buy the game!

Looks awesome!

Seems like this is the Diablo game, I have been waiting for!
Can’t wait to play it.

How about stash space?
Will there be a lot?

Loot drops, shared as in D2 or dedicated as in D3?

Auto pickup? Gold, gems, mats etc.?

I may be mistaken. :blush:

Kejhistan

As we’ve seen from previous visits to Alcarnus and Caldeum, the desert shadows of Kejhistan make excellent cover for a group of rising cultists. They quietly plumb abandoned ruins, seeking power to aid the return of the ancient Prime Evils.

big thanks for druid Devs! :smiley: everything looks very realistic and qualitatively :heart_eyes: special thank for Cinematics Team! it was just superamazing! :open_mouth: :star_struck:

I really hope that the druid will be available to different forms of a bear and a wolf, for example: maybe Polar Bear form with Freezing Breath and with cannot be frozen property and something else :smiley:

and of course i hope for some items that give permanent bear/wolf and more options/abilitys/skills for shapeshifter :yum:

Absolutely cannot wait for this game. The hype is real! It looks amazing and they’re going back to their roots. Dark, gritty, and terrifying! Love it!

I kind of like the removal of useless stats but none at all us a little much.
D2 had a kind of philosophy where if its in the game it IS meant to be used. So even if it does not fit the character at first glance there may be some use for it yet.
Seeing oskills return, having progressively more complex runewords to deepen the gear choices and actually having those skills be influenced by the class you play would be nice to me.

Some personal interests for Diablo 4:

  • I realized after D3 that I hate looting anything that doesnt feel rewarding, and even if it is rewarding it is so not-fun to click click click names off the floor. Also my mouse is too loud at night. Please have some QOL smart loot.
  • Please take PvP as seriously as you did in WoW. I really want a huge pvp end game.
  • I like wow-like dungeons; I like farming a particular loot table too.
  • Mic would be cool. Having something necessitating a mic is cooler. If wow can have tough crap requiring orchestrating, so can we!
  • I would like my character to be displayed - much like a lobby - so that when i waste my life and become superficial and compare my character to yours, that im visually observable and people know my character is serious. (so what bro)
  • what if you introduce pvp gear acquired dungeons that have a separate loot table for pvp. Make these dungeons trivial but in a different way, a way for pvp players… somehow.
  • make clan events with seperate loot table - maybe pvp focused?
  • for the love of god- dont make it too monotonous that people would rather bot because its so pain painstakingly boring and unrewarding-like.

Absolutely no one asked if it was possible to have more skills than 1-2-3-4-5-RB-LB.

If I choose to learn 3 skills that are in the “RB” line, can I use the 3 of them whenever I want?

This is a MUST HAVE. Diablo 3 system was awful.

Just to make sure that I’m crystal clear: I wanna use whatever skills I want, like in Diablo 2. I don’t wanna be restricted.

Not going to get hyped about it to much . If I remember correctly when d3 was announced it was like 3 years before it finally released . The world kinda looks like wow game which i disliked that game because of it.

What i really want for D4 is bring charms back. Create inner charm level. Each character could to unlock the use of 10 charms. They are sticky not dropable.

But we could use one magical item to roll a random charm status. And some way to level from level 1 to 99. And one time charm pass level 40 he can’t more be rolled just leveled. It will bring a lot of character customization. And this will eliminate the space problem.

So will be a charm tab with 10 spaces, each time we unlock it it’s one charm, we can roll it to personalize the game play style for each one. Let´s do it.

The only thing I’m not excited about is that it looks like there’s no intelligence, dexterity, strength, etc. Just a generic ‘attack’ and ‘defense’ stat.

D4 needs an offline campaign. Not everyone can afford internet or has access to it

I hope not, dumbest thing in D2.
They clogged up inventory, and made going to town every
few minutes a must.

Status: True. It should be splitted the level power. D4 system should to increases some sticky status and each level you should earn 2 points to personalize your character build. (It would allow a barb to pull all points on vit to tank and other barb with all points to str to be DD). So same with few classes it would allow lot of roles. (and a possible int barb - the int would increase all crowd control time of effect - so we could to get 3 kind of barbs).

Level difficult: And other thing level 40 should be extremely hard to reach. Once you reach level 30 it should delay 1 year to reach level 40. See perfect world for you level from 104 to 105 it delay almost 1 year for not addicted players, and 4-6 monthes for addicted.

Esthethic micro-transaction: I hope they allow esthethic send gift option for a friend. Because i could to buy all esthethic for all my clan. If somebody want to spend just allow them.

I know the open world concept is a split issue here, but I find it really frustrating that Blizzard is punishing those of us who DON’T want to play an MMO. I solo for a reason and requiring players to team up to defeat certain bosses feels like a stab in the back. Having that complete choice is why I’ve been playing Diablo all these years. I will not play IV if I can’t choose to play alone on every aspect of the game.
