Buddy Sola writes, "In the twelve years since Diablo II was first released some pretty noteworthy things have happened. The console generation made two enormous leaps and a total of seventeen (!) Call of Duty games have unleashed upon the world – seriously. Blizzard has since redefined both the MMO and RTS genres and jump-started the eSports scene. And as one of the more artful studios around, Blizzard has been hard at work with Diablo III which will undoubtedly blow our minds and toss another game into the pantheon. But it’s not the millenium anymore. And just as the gigabyte is the new megabyte, we have evolved. So the question becomes: What has Blizzard learned since their heyday at the end of the 20th century?"
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
Blizzard reveals plans to speed up Diablo releases with more frequent expansions and updates as the franchise moves toward a live-service future.
All I want is a physical disc release of remastered D2 that doesn't require online check-ins.
I've lost complete interest. Too much FOMO with seasons as it is, now it's expansions? No thanks.
what fomo? everything gets reset each season and you start new characters unless you're playing on the regular servers and then you're already maxxed anway and just need to participate in the new season stuff.
i played only during launch and i found the ones in that battlepass to be absolute dogwater, the only ones that looked somewhat cool were the paid ones in the store and i wont bother with either. The game itself was just so hollow, there were no cool builds cause every synergy was just "x or y skills does more dmg or has this extra effect" almost no experimentation needed, couldnt give a rats ass about armor if the core of the game is boring af.
That you can release a a sequel of a game , whose half of it success was based on its pvp , without pvp at launch ?
I'm looking forward to d3 , but will only purchase it when they decide to finish the game
I have fond memories of D2, I know 3 will showcase some of the evolution in gameplay many of the console generation's finest have developed. I'll reserve judgement for afterwards.
and also that pandas make for suitable expansion material.
