Who's buying $200 headphones for trophy

I was going to try and catch them all. Not counting the Japan one. But then this $200 headphones trophy showed up. I know it sounds weird but I’m almost relieved. Like ok I don’t have a chance better to know that at the start. However I was curious some people might buy it. Will you? It will probably be super rare only it’s not $200 cool looking enough even if you have the rare trophy it’s not shiny enough for anyone to notice.

ya the kfc i will probably do sense i need to eat anyways :stuck_out_tongue:

Nah, this is silly. This mixed with the KFC stuff is putting a gross shadow on the future of content for the game. I’d say I hope they’ll turn it down once the game is out but I don’t it: gotta make that money.

These collaborations are to promote and celebrate the release of the game. My company’s marketing does similar collabs. The items are more collectors pieces than anything, the cosmetic is just a side bonus.

Only $30 for the thumbsticks though

$200 for a trophy we’ll most likely replace with some seasonal trophy… easy pass. At least you might get some clout with the Ashava trophy.

Just enjoy all those much better things you can do with your money to the fullest.
Go out with your partner, buy flowers for your mom, treat yourself a king-sized pizza - and then slash some demons while showing off a trophy that you earned in the game, not outside of it :wink:

Cause this is a battle you can’t (and probably don’t want to) win:

oh for real I could go to Disney land maybe for $200 don’t know how much tickets are now. also my current headphones are not broken :). its a good thing it wasn’t like a dragon mount that this will be your only chance to get and everyone else gets a horse. I might of had to think about it if that was the case.

No, this is just dumb

one for helmet, one for offhand maybe?

I love how everyone is acting like you buy a cosmetic for $200, and you get a pair of $200 headphones tossed in as a side prize.

You buy the headphones if you happen to need/want expensive new headphones.

I’m honestly baffled with everyone’s obsession over insignificant cosmetics that will mean nothing in game.

buy the $40 thumbsticks, find cheaper peripherals

[/end edit]

This is pretty god dammed hillarious to be honest.

A mouse with more buttons than the game permits for skills.

  • Ergonomic 9-button programmable layout with 5 quick-action side buttons and unique up/down flick switch

CAD$269.99 - diablo version
[New SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X Wireless Multi-Platform Gaming & Mobile Headset ] non diablo version 229.99 13% off on amazon at 199.99

so generally $40 more for the diablo software and “AI” and mount item.

youtube : “SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Review. Don’t Believe The Hype” - dude did a review 2 months ago with 7k. don’t know him, but you can see what the regular version looks like without the branding.

  • AI-Powered noise-cancelling mic uses Sonar ClearCast AI algorithms to silence ambient sounds or teammate noise, with ChatMix Dial on-headset

An over priced headset with flashy “AI” claim, practically an if statement. if external sound around increases, dim outer value of something.

  • Attune your sound to Diablo IV with an audio preset in Sonar software, created by Blizzard audio engineers

  • Free Diablo IV in-game mount trophy, “Bound Faith”, with purchase (© 2023 Blizzard Entertainment, Inc.)

The best part is that the 3D Pulse sense audio headset for Playstation

which means I find the price point above is screwing over people who purchase both the diablo headset and the non diablo version of the headset.

3D audio or spatial audio is specialized audio technology that is used to allow listeners to pinpoint both the direction and distance of a sound. There are some differences between 3D and spatial audio, but you don’t really need to concern yourself with these technicalities. For the purposes of this article, 3D audio and spatial audio are the same.

… … but dam those thumb sticks… they look mighty inviting…

6 skills, health pot, dodge, map, inventory, emote wheel… as someone who likes playing entirely with my mouse hand when just doing casual content; the more buttons the better.

The brand who makes them is pretty good for computer peripherals. If you have the money and like them then why not. I just bought a pair of logitechs for $170. To each their own.

fair enough.

was looking at the logitech g7 cordless mouse , then the logitech mx10

Logitech G604 LIGHTSPEED™ Wireless Gaming Mouse (910-005622) - HERO 25K sensor, 15 programmable controls, hyper-fast scroll wheel, 240 hours of gameplay** $129.99 $99.99 SAVE $30.00

there are much better options, and the cheapest is the $40 thumbsticks and you can still save money on another peripheral.

Imagine buying a cosmetic that takes up your Ashava Trophy slot.
oh… not everyone has one…
