Clear hint to Microsoft to bring out an expansion and to take clues about itemization from D2 and not D3.

Look, it’s not just about the raw numbers. Developing this likely cost them next to nothing compared to the D4 expansion and all that hype. They’re just milking the cow at this point. It’s obviously a marketing stunt for the D4 add-on, since D4 is probably underperforming in terms of ROI. But hey, Blizzard’s greed actually worked out for us for once—a win-win. The actual best game in the series gets more content, they get their money, and D2 nerds get to theorycraft over micro-adjustments for the next decade. Everyone wins, right?

Honestly, a major class rebalance before the new season is non-negotiable, especially since I’m actually planning to play for once. If they just leave the Warlock as-is, they’ve basically trashed the ‘balance’ D2 has maintained for years. But if they actually put in the work, it’ll boost sales for the D4 expansion (aka the scam). People will be like, ‘Hey, maybe Blizzard isn’t so bad after all, look at them actually fixing D2.’ It’s a rare chance for them to fix their rep while still cashing out like they always do

Pretty cool.

Such a slow and boring game now. Amazing when it first came out…now? Ooof…if I wan’t that slow of a game I’ll play PoE or something.

apparently at least 1 million players disagree :smiley:

You’re slow and boring. D3 apologists crawling out of their whatever with envy towards what made the big D brand great in the first place. You guys probably can’t beat act 1 because too hard!
Look for yourself how slow the gameplay is:

The clue is how to get there, not the slow start.

According to this forum, only like 10% of Diablo player are on Steam, so it must be at least 10 million who disagrees! :zany_face:

Over a year ago D4 had earned over a billion dollars. It is doing just fine.

if it would have been a new class for d3, i would have bought 100 copies. d2 sucks and i just dont like it but im happy for the weirdos that like that kind of game. I’m sure they are having a blast playing a new class in a game they love
