Fans will "hate" Blizzard when it announces the next Diablo III class, the developer has admitted.
The stark admission comes from Diablo III lead designer Jay Wilson, who in an interview with VideoGamer.com said that the developer "can't make everybody happy" with the classes in the hotly anticipated dungeon crawler.
He said: "All the barbarian players are delighted and all the necromancers hate us. I understand, I don't begrudge them that. I would hate me too! But what I would say is that when we announce the next class, which is quite similar to a previous class, then all those players will hate us too. You can't make everybody happy, but I think when the game finally come out players will find there's a good class for them, one they will love as much as the ones that came before. And if they don't, I absolutely promise that in the expansions we'll consider bringing back old classes. We just don't want to do it with the first release. We want to establish our identity."
Diablo III Season 38 launched with Ethereals back, but players are reporting Error 395002, disconnects, and server trouble.
Diablo 3 Season 38 starts March 27. Here’s what to finish before Ethereal Memory begins, from class choice and stash cleanup to Conquests and Ethereal
Via Diablo’s global director of community Adam Fletcher, Blizzard is introducing new measures to improve the quality of season launches in the future. Across both Diablo 4 and the aging Diablo 3, fans of Blizzard’s games should all benefit.
If they didn't let the cellphone guy touch the 3rd one in first place, they wouldn't have to dance around like clowns trying to make money.
We've been asking for less "boring" seasons... "boring"... not "buggy"... same ol' rehashed content just a different color is not working.
I hope it won't be purple teletubby.
I did like all classes in D2. Ah, maybe except Amazon. Well see what Blizzard will give us.
maybe they are making the paladin dif...which is why were "hate" them.. cuz the pally kicked ridiclous ass
Its going to be the replacement for either the Pally or the Sorc, I would be the Sorc for now, since we already have a major melee guy, and no straight up magic char.
I don't see why they didn't revamp _all_ the classes. Would have been much better to just scrap the barbarian as well, replace him with a new, fresh, yet similar class. And I'm not such a fan of having male/female versions of each class, I mean the barbarian is meant to be strong and the female barbarian would surely then be weaker? There's not really much point in that. Didn't they scrap all the classes from D1 as well for D2? I never played it.
a dedicated healer?
