Rod admits that S2 was announced too early

Where’s that Campfire Chat that was promised 2 weeks ago?

They “announced” D5 too early. At least that’s what it seemed like. That was honestly really off-putting and worrying to me.

I think season 2 info is fine so far. Like, we all knew it’s coming in just over a month and it’s nice to know what’s coming as far as QOL goes.

Yeah I saw the Ybarra tweet or whatever saying we wouldn’t have to wait too long for d5 and I was just left there thinking…. He’s right. No one will be “waiting” for d5 after this fiasco.

They said years ago that they always have 2-3 WoW Expansions ahead of the current one in production all the time.

Don’t know if that is the case any more ofc.

But working on things that are years and years away, is not uncommon.

Pretty Sure CoD did the same, That’s why we had a few games with those wacky wall-running mechanics before they went back to boots on the ground.

They mean they couldn’t come up with enough gimmicks to seem like actual work was put into season 2. And now they promoted bug fixes as features and look really pathetic.

Absolutely loved seeing that Lilith cosplay from the video, if I had been there would have loved to give that “Lilith” a big warm hug. :slight_smile:

Although perhaps the costume is fragile when you think about it.

I have no clue why Ryker has gotten as far as he has. Not a bad guy, nothing against him, but DAMN he’s just the most boring monotone person EVER

I think they announced it just soon enough to lose 90% of sales on cosmetics.
:rofl:

I know one thing is for sure theres a vote of no confidence making its way around the shareholders circle moving its way to the upper board of directors.

They took a tweet from Mike Ybarra totally out of context and acted like it was a lowkey D5 announcement. People need to stop taking clickbait from the likes of Gamerants etc as facts.

If D5 comes out in 2026-2027 I won’t be buying it

How do you know that?

Because I started it and its making its way around to all shareholders.

I hope that’s the case

LMAO k. Love tools like this who talk trash about a game yet sit on the “said game” they hate and keep posting etc. How much do you post on the PoE forums? Oh yeah. That’s right. PoE is trash so the White Knights there have to come here and rip on a game they hate cause no one plays PoE.

I’m not sitting on Diablo 4. I’m getting my moneys worth out of the forums.
Literally playing Poe right now. Game is good so nothing to complain about. D4 is some hot garbage

It’s not that the game has or doesn’t have bugs its that for every missed opportunity to add QOL changes, the lack of taking features that worked in other iterations and being obtuse about those things that worked and didn’t work. For every detractor people mention about D4 they take same detractors in POE yet POE has an answer Diablo 4 has only an excuse like when Rob said “Those games have been around for 10 years of development” “sometimes you need medicine, can’t have candy for meals sometimes you have to eat salad” yet if you watched the POE2 preview at Exilecon GGG specifically stated they are taking the mechanics that worked in POE and improving them while the ones that didn’t are getting axed. That’s the difference GGG addresses issues Blizzard hides from them.

Where did he say this exactly that this is because of D4 and not the plan all along? Also he clearly stated d4 still has ‘content’ coming up. And this all in a supposedly 10 year frame. I only know of this tweet.

this rod team and the forum moderation is a bad joke, they don’t even convince themselves to consume the garbage they produce and then they throw up with the marketing team all sorts of nonsense to convince us that the mistake is ours for " have very high expectations"
it simply cannot be defended anymore, there are no arguments between heaven and earth that can justify such incompetence.
season 2 and the promotion in stores only reinforces the desperation and bad numbers that this product reached for being crap.
