Fair enough. At this point, those sheets need washing really bad…I suspect that D3 S25 is not high on anyone’s list.
If they drop D3 because of D2R, it’s a lack of respect for D3 players who are the main buyers of D4. Then don’t complain if D4 sales suck…

I am not sure yet about buying D4. I play single player private games. Not interested in trading with other players, or grouping. Trading always ends up involving real dollars. No publisher can completely prevent it.
If I wanted to play an MMO, I wouldn’t have quit WoW.

There will be some group events in Diablo 4. But it looks more like you just go to the area and see if others are at it, no need to group up per say
Sadly, that’s not good enough for me. I don’t even want to SEE another player.

Maybe there is going to be a disable function. So you don’t have to see other players. My guess is that D4 is more Solo player centric at the start. But then starts to gate stuff behind multiplayer activities. For Trading you don’t have to be afraid the best items in the game will be account bound.
From what I’ve seen, you wander alone and meet people in certain areas, like bigger events and boss fights, which imo. I don’t mind.

Whats the point? Everyone is playing D2R. It is so bad that the servers cannot keep up with the demand. You have to wait in Queue for a minimum of 1/2 hr before you can get in to play the game, and people are STILL playing it over D3. I think that D3 is done for.
Everyone is not playing D2R and it’s not THAT popular. The thing with queues is that they have to deal with a 20+ years old net code because they didn’t bother to update it, just slap on a fresh coat of paint and call it done. How are people stil defending this dumpster fire is beyond me.

I would still play it if it were not £35… What a rip off.
Forget mobile Diablo though!
£20 for a 20 year old game seems reasonable.

My secret sources say that S25 will be the season of the witch doctor. WD gets a buff, all other get a nerf.
The secret sources: me :-/

Lol that’s a bit cheap. Anything beats playing Diablo on a phone though.
That really confuses me. This is Blizzard. They run WoW. How could they have misstepped so badly here??? (Meaning D2R network problems).

They have done this test, but they limited this test so you couldn’t play through the whole game. They didn’t saw a lot to do. Because for the people playing this tests weren’t attempting to farm “effectivily”. A bit sad cause this was actually the problem Wyatt Cheng mentioned with the release of D3 and that it makes sense to give the players way more content to play with to find critical stuff. That’s what he does in DI and that’s what not happend with D2R.
