I don't not complete the lovely ones because the reward is too low, I don't complete the lovely ones because my builds literally cannot do them in many cases.

Didn't announce D4 or D2 remaster which are the fan dreams, or even anything big for D3, but announced a Diablo mobile game.

What guys guys you didn't want a cell phone game? Are bad. I mean we're still going to do it and you'll still play it but we're totally sorry. (apology will be mealy mouthed pr speak that isn't really an apology) I will say this though it is a Diablo game as opposed to just a Diablo themed game.

Blizzard is garbage so it'd probably for the best. I mean people still enjoy pretending they're the same company who made Starcraft/Warcraft/Diablo but that doesn't mean they are.

I remember when a friend originally got me into POE, he told me it was like a sequel to Diablo 2, but if they made the exact opposite decisions that they did for Diablo 3. I was sold.

Blizzard uploaded the same video again as unlisted and linked that to the Battle.net Launcher and it has 378 likes and 30k dislikes.

Yeah, a third party reskin of an existing mobile game is one of those throwaway side announcements, not something that can be the sole announcement for a content-starved franchise.

The only good race pace is suicide pace, and today looks like a good day to die
First HC league that I made any real headway, and I just ripped my golementalist halfway through 94 because I was trying to get used to new skill hotkeys and missed a slam from Malachai in Core. I had been farming red elder pretty painlessly and just for fun I did guardians + shaper in standard. Minotaur was tough (2nd death), but the other 3 guardians and my first ever shaper kill were pretty easy with this build. I can't bring myself to hawk poe.trade for the Primordial jewels to rebuild this guy.

At this point I don't know what to do. My goal had been to hit 96 on the Golem build but Standard is way too boring. I have a 90 Arc trapper that I could try to push on but I was feeling pretty squishy in delves so I'll probably RIP. I don't think I play enough to level a new char up from scratch this late in the league.

That's 10$ for the spinefund.
Games like overwatch/wow/hots get a constant stream of new heros/events/content, mostly because blizzard monetizes them with loot boxes/subscriptions.

Diablo is pretty much abandoned, seasons get added without even spending the effort to make a handful of new items or any real content of any sort. Seasons are basically identical to the previous season but the season number is one higher and all your stuff is gone, have fun!

Diablo fans were hoping for some kind of announcement which would change this situation.

Gee how did games ever survive without exploiting gambling before? Oh wait I think I know they charged money for some content maybe added a little after that. If they wanted to keep adding content you know what they would do? They're create this weird thing called an expansion. Now for all you young folks expansions were the equivalent of content DLCs. DLCs allowed companies to sell you horse armor (which "only" cost 2.50 hahahahaha) Overwatch is aggressively mediocre poo poo designed to milk players who can't aim of their money through garbage seasonal events. It is not a good game. HOTs tried to be super lovely (rune pages or whatever the equivalent was) but when people got pissed and annoyed they backed off. Oh and WOW? MMORPGS are shallow games that dangle rewards in front of players to get them to play. Oh gently caress I get a mount at x. I can get one that flies at y? Sign me the gently caress up!

Companies can make money without being poo poo but they want all the monies.

I don't know why, but out of all the inane comments in that article, what gets me is the:

quote:

a fan (“fan”)

Yes, because you cannot be a fan if you're not completely devoid of criticism or expectations. A true fan must behave like a crazed all-consuming cultist. If you're not blindly enjoying every announcement a company throws at you, you're a "fan", not a fan.

quote:

Still, I’ll give it a chance. If it sucks, it sucks, and I will tell you it sucks. But I won’t act like a child being purposefully awful to the developer trying to make it work.

The beautiful thing about giving feedback is so a player can prevent it sucking before it sucking, which is good for everyone. It would have prevented, say, FFXIV 1.0. But having some sort of negative reaction to a company deleting feedback en mass and reuploading youtube videos to reset the like bar is no good.

But I won’t act like a child

That's one article too late.

I don't know what they deserve (besides a wedgie), but this is more about what didn't happen at Blizzcon.

No splash logo or even concept art they can point to and say, "Yes, we are making Diablo 4. It will come out, eventually."

Diablo 2 Remaster is a bit of a pipe dream, but a believable one. It would make some people insanely happy, and I think most would welcome it because it means they were doing something.

There wasn't even a peep of Diablo 3 news. No new cosmetics, no new class, no discussion about the future of the game. It's like they forgot it exists. They didn't even try to sell the Switch version when it is right there.

No, the entirety of their Diablo news was the mobile game Blizzard didn't even make. And this is what they ended their opening ceremony with. They deserve to get dragged for a bit.

Here's where Path of Exile's difference shines, and why I think I keep sticking with PoE instead of flipping back to Diablo 3 or trying some of the other games in my list. GGG is still introducing new skills, revamping current ones, and introducing mechanics to make each league unique instead of endless seasons where nothing changes. I did a Triple Herald, Blade Vortex Elementalist for Incusrion league. I'm seriously considering a four-herald version with Herald of Purity for the next league.

The timing for this shitshow couldn't be better for GGG as they start building hype for their new league.
