I just hope there are more than 3 playable classes to start, unless this is gonna be part of their monetization plans for it? If so, lame.

I don't particularly give a shit about pvp but I understand there are those that do, so as long as it's optional, fine, why not include it.

Only confirmed on pc, ps4 and xbone. Not sure of release date either but could easily see this coming out after ps5 and scorpio launch so wouldn't be surprised to see it there too.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #151 on:** November 01, 2019, 06:06:14 PM »

The world looks massive too. I watched a streamer fight an "event" boss with like 20+ other demo players, thing was a massive hp sink. Not sure if I'll like that shit but apparently it's all optional, so eh. I wonder if the loot drops from all of that shit are instanced or if you end up having to swoop in and pick it up ahead of everyone else, because fuck that. Also get ready for an avalanche of bitching if you can't avoid pvp and if you drop your own loot when you get pk'd.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #152 on:** November 01, 2019, 06:22:08 PM »

Im sure the experience will be sanitized. Don't worry.

I do hope there will be an option for a "pvp always on server" or something.

Diablo 4 is gonna be so baaaaaaaad.

well if the game is years out, guess they did restart recently

Lots of info here:

https://www.diablofans.com/news/49145-diablo-community-group-q-a

Some items I found interesting:

-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.
-The developers have lots of ideas for endgame systems and they want to offer a wide variety of things to do. We’ll get a preview of ‘Keyed Dungeons’ during tomorrow’s Systems & Features Panel.
-Sanctuary has hundreds of dungeons and you’ll be able to get ‘keys’ that unlock max level versions of those dungeons with special modifiers on them and better loot.
-Character customization has many avenues. In addition too items and runes there are skill and talent choices. While leveling or when ‘skill tomes’ you gain skill points that you can use to increase your skill ranks, unlocking new skills or empowering others. Skill point choices are permanent, but you will eventually be able to unlock and max all skill ranks. Talents are more playstyle choices and have effects on your skills, but will be respecable in the game.
-The developers are still early in developing trading systems, but the current philosophy is that crafting mats and consumables will always be tradeable. Powerful items will likely be bound on trade, meaning that can be traded, but only once. The most powerful items however will not be tradeable and likely stay bind on pickup. They want the primary source of items and power be from playing the game itself, so there are no current plans for auction houses, but there will be limited trading available through clan banks.
-Clans will be in the game and they will include clan banks to help with trading, but no other details were given.
-Loot drops will be individual to the character like Diablo III currently is, but if you drop an item on the ground, everyone will be able to see it.
-There will be a Hardcode mode
-Diablo IV is being designed as a massive immersive world with partying and group in mind, so there are no plans for an offline only mode, but there will be options for those who only want to play solo or only play with friends.

That last one is important- a lot of this stuff looks cool but makes me nervous, ultimately I don't want Diablo to be WoW.

You're gonna get current D3 + the illusion of D2's gear and stat progression systems + Some PoE ideas in a semi-persistent world with a grey color palette and you're gonna like it.

Console is a different beast, or at least was with D3.

From reading everything they're trying to do though, I'm skeptical the Switch will be able to handle it but who knows.

toku · « **Reply #174 on:** November 02, 2019, 02:12:55 PM »

I know they kept saying its way way off but I would expect it in 2021. It's probably going to play really well but be very bare bones content wise. They're gonna sell characters and expansions twice a year at least I'd bet. We'll probably get RoS style 30 dollar big story/content expansions and then shit like Necromancer at 14.99. They'll probably do more with the latter (sometimes not be a character but new tilesets, loot etc etc). Blizzard needs an easy win rn and pretty much everything else is up in the air for them atm. Everything their doing seems aimed at recapturing the casual audience (OW2 having a ton of PvE content) and they've kinda done this already with just changing the art style already.
