I am no savant on Blizzard games but I'm pretty sure it's been the same punchline throughout every game that has had the word craft in it.Mymla posted:Nah, the story of diablo 2 is the story marius narrates in the cutscenes. The moment it deviates from that (the act 5 intro cinematic) it kinda turns to poo poo, but marius' story is high quality. The story the player character experiences is kinda meh, but some of the dialogue with the npcs in the cities is decent enough. Who is always ahead of you, always behind Diablo, and somehow doesn't die until Baal decides he wants his saltlick back. Much as I hate that loving Marius is the only thing driving the story, you are right. But Diablo 2 has always been a better big budget film than a video game story anyway.

Are some event chests bugged? Both on Switch and PC I've had chests that allow me to activate, maybe kill a few guys and then despawn after 20 seconds or so. edit: Also, is there a way to clear the dialog markers over NPCs in Adventure mode? I've tried listening multiple times to no effect. LASER BEAM DREAM fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Feb 6, 2023 |

They really tried to with making the prime evil thing of all the big demons smashed into one demon. Everyone sort of just ignored that when they saw Diablos awesome D3 model.

Late Feb at the very earliest. We'll get a warning about S27 winding down, then some down time. It's unfortunate that it'll overlap with d2r season 3's start

Jelly posted:Unknown, but unfortunately season 27 doesn't end until February 26th which means at the absolute earliest we would be looking at the first week of March. The end date hasn't been announced. Where'd you get this? Since we're guessing I'm gonna say the season will start on the 24th. There's a thing on the launcher saying the season is ending soon but it links back to the start of s27 junk. Imagine they'll clear it up in the next day or two.

They haven't even given an update on the PTR with all the busted stuff that needs to be changed, which should require another week of testing to make sure whatever they do isn't also busted. I'm not expecting a season until mid-March.

The only thing I can dislike about that is the shoulder mouths which are weird. I guess gamers really just wanted super HD janky red guy Diablo II Diablo, and nothing else. Once you're stuck in that dream of being a half-naked man killing a big red demon you'll never escape it.

S27 ends Feb. 19th. https://us.diablo3.blizzard.com/en-us/blog/23893119 Usually they start on the following Friday I think so that makes it Feb. 24th if they keep the same cadence.

As long as the prime evil package sell enough copies every time it's 66% off, they can keep banging out cheap season gimmicks like that S27 primal consumable, and adjusting some sets 2-3 times a year. Same with D2R.

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:Wait is the next season the last season of Diablo 3 or are people just jokin' around? Nobody has said anything officially but I think a lot of people feel like once D4 is out they'll stop putting in dev time and making new season content. With this season I wonder if they'll make the altar (or a detuned version of it) permanent for the QoL upgrades it gives. If they make more seasons I would be pumped but I wouldn't be surprised either if they started cycling previous themes instead. Still, I would think the people working on D3 are probably not working on D4 currently so maybe they'll keep them on for more (a boy can dream) seasons. I don't think they'll add more sets though or put in anything huge like that, but I'd love to be wrong.

I assume the last few years of d3 season themes/balance changes have been them giving the interns a chance to do some meaningful game design work in an environment where there isn't much riding on their success or failure.

People just kind of naturally assume that this will be the last big season for D3 because of the impending release of Diablo IV, but I don't necessarily share that opinion. Most of the streamers and players looking for something new will move on, but I don't think the current crew working on D3 is especially large to begin with, and nobody is particularly going to care if some intern turns up a damage number by 8,000% every few months or so. Even if all they do is cycle between the 6 most popular seasons from now on, that's still a ton of replayable content. And I think new stuff will continue to be added into the game as well.
