Lady Sorc is pretty good. I like that the voice lines for being out of mana match how you feel IRL. "Out of precious mana..." "I am out of mana, yet again."

Can't speak for other classes, but I was actually pleasantly surprised by male barb's voice and characterization. I thought it was quite nice to see a character who could have easily been portrayed as a one note brute of a character, as someone who speaks with care and a note of compassion to both his allies during the story and to the people needing help in the side quests.

I was finishing up renown last night and during a quest where it does the typical enemies surround you while talking my sorceress said fully voiced "You have no idea the power I wield". drat right! They of course instantly died when they turned hostile.

socialsecurity posted:Don't aspects kinda already do exactly that though? That was their whole design philosophy with aspects. You could make any piece of gear legendary and add an aspect that fit your build. The thing they said they didn't like about sets was that your build was literally garbage until you got the "Resource Costs reduced by 100% and damage increased by 10,000%" set bonus and that bonus was so good that nothing else mattered.

If they want sets to be cool, there should be a set bonus and also the pieces can hold an aspect. Best of both worlds.

Blizzard seems to have made a list up of people who shouldnt be on the list.

I miss sets that did cooler poo poo than Number Go Up Max like D2's Necro set that turned you into a fuckin Vampire. Maybe have a set for Druid that turns him into a big loving Raven or a Sorc set that lets you become a ball lightning for a bit.

SettingSun posted:I know nothing about this competition to get onto the statue but how does Blizz not have exact time/level of anyone in their always online game. I think you had to post on social media and send DMs over twitter or something. There were restrictions if you were playing a press release you werent eligible, etc.. Blizzard hosed themselves by making hoops, basically. Now they get to validate it all over and over until it's perfect. Or not, and give everyone the finger. Who knows.

Just send everyone who asks a certificate saying their name is definitely on the statue. Nobody is going to go Blizzard's offices and verify all 1,000 of the names. It will quiet the demon in some people's minds just to be told they definitely are on there.

Failboattootoot posted:People keep defending D4 with "it's better than D3 was at launch." And that literally doesn't matter because if I were to load up D3 right now, I would not be playing launch D3. D4 is not competing with launch D3, it's competing with current D3. Also PoE and LE and maybe also Grim Dawn and some iteration of Torchlight but Torchlight fuckin sucks, unlike D3 or D4, both of which are good. look man you can't expect game devs to actually build on the past!!! That's cheating! (in blizzard's case it's more likely that literally none of the people that learned those lessons in the past are still there at all, for uh, a range of reasons). Ultimately though it's not like consumers should have to care about that, it'd just be nice to get things that don't go backwards.

To be fair, some of the removal of D3 QoL features and change in art direction were intentional and laid out in their development blogs in response to a lot of D2 fans who were extremely mad about D3 being "too arcade-y," "too casual," and too light/colorful. The art direction changes are fine, but I think the people who thought that D3 ruined D2 because you didn't have to walk everywhere, they put the vendors too close to together, added auto-pickup for gold, and added infinite character respecs are weird masochists.

Stuff I hope they announce today: - New NM dungeon rotation. - New uniques or modifications to existing uniques that create new build/gameplay opportunities. Stuff like the Druid items that make you a wolf or bear full time are cool. Put more interesting or build-defining stuff like that in the game. - Buff the least used skills. There is a huge batch of stuff that never gets used because it's just not good. - Buff ultimate skills and then put them on a new button that doesn't take up a slot on your hot bar. - More stash tabs. - Searchable stash. - World tier 5. - a seasonal theme/mechanic that gives more to do from 70-100.

Them rotating nm dungeons isn’t gonna do much, I’ve done most of the normal dungeons in the game and they basically bleed together. There’s like 8 tile sets in the game.

loot tetris with aspect juggling when you find upgrades sucks rear end. Let us add aspects to the codex, and then pick em from the codex in a separate per slot dealio like the cube slots in d3. Upgrade the rolls in your codex aspects by extracting better ones as you find em to improve the min roll dungeons ones. Otherwise all of this stuff Ehud posted:Stuff I hope they announce today:

Fixes I'd like to see at some point -Make teleporting to a NM dungeon put me in the dungeon when I click it from the map. Why make me eat 2 load screens in a row? Simple fix. -Dungeon tasks streamlined with less pointless backtracking. They're the main endgame and not really fun at this point. -remove some of the real bad NM dungeon mods and maybe add some others -rework damage and itemization. Vulnerable and crit being the only things that matter is no better than it was in Diablo 3 (crit chance/damage on everything). Now the pool is too big with too many worthless affixes because of this. Sorting through 99% of the trash yellows you get isn't fun. -Legendaries don't feel special at all except when leveling to like 40-50. Most of them are trash and you're only checking if the aspect is well rolled. I don't have a fix for this due to how the itemization is currently. Fix that and this may be worked out on it's own. -Make uniques able to have one slot rerolled also. They still feel special because of the unique text but sometimes it's a big tradeoff on pants or chest where you rely on some of your defensive rolls. -make rerolling better. In D3 you can't get 2 rolls of the exact same thing when rerolling affixes. You can get the same as the item currently has and something new. Why that simple thing isn't implemented I don't know. Also it's crazy how fast it ramps up in cost and should probably be tuned a little better. -make the horse work and not get caught on everything. Let me be as fast with a controller vs. a mouse. Let me run in town if you're going to space everything out so goddamn much. Or, just make towns not terrible. -at a certain point (70, 80+?) can we just stop dropping normal and sacred items? Or loot filter would solve this. I'm pretty sure they still have a stupid high level requirement so it's not like you can hand them down to an alt you're leveling so what's the point? I stopped picking them up because it's less poo poo to sort through as a bonus. -sell all feature at vendor -glyphs shared between classes? There's a huge time sink in each character that I don't know that I'll create an alt per season but it would be nice to not have to do all this over again if I chose to. The grind right now is pretty extreme. I've only played necro so I can't speak much to the balance of the other classes. If necro is anything to go by, there's tons of work needed to make more viable builds. I don't care about story stuff so much for whatever they add in for seasonal content. Eventually I want them (the seasonal theme) to change the way the game is played after a few seasons of trying out all the classes. Sets would be cool but I don't know how they balance them. In D2 I felt like most were useless or exceedingly rare, and they were the opposite in D3. 2-4 piece sets so there's still room to change stuff around? I dunno. I want them to change skills/playstyles instead of boost them to stupid levels again.

- a single seasonal stash slot - stash keyword search system, like the skill tree - a handful of new uniques, perhaps a few new aspects but doubtfully - seasonal content is a short questline with a few cinematics and a mediocre boss (non uber bosses will always be easy in this game) - doing the questline unlocks corruption zones: like helltides, new mob types you encountered in the new questline will spawn and drop some kind of 'corrupted' gear affix, and the new uniques A lot fo people will call it great, a lot of people will call it uninspired and lackluster

There is more than enough bullshit to chase in terms of purely gear stats, the game doesn't need another layer in the form of aspects that are also inventory clutter and timesink bullshit to farm mats just to use/swap builds/etc.

I mean, it's just not ARPG design philosophy to do that. They aren't going to give you the primary one-use chase items forever. Still haven't gotten that Aspect of Exposed Flesh btw...
