Macys paid for this. Noodle Boy and Bonby are bad at video games and even worse friends.


So, I completed chapter 1 of the season -- how do access my new portrait and pennant? Do I have to wait for the season to end?

Oh, I get it now. When you hit "view rewards" when selecting chapter 1 it shows you the reward for chapter 4. What the hell

it shows that cuz you dont get the rewards till you finish the first few chapters...there's no individual rewards for the first few chapters until you start getting Haedrig's gifts.

With seasons on the ps4 I leapt back in with a monk. Just finished getting my seasonal set - the next step is just continuing the season goals and doing the set dungeons, correct? Do all the sets have different dungeons?

Having never played a season before, I'm now really happy they've come to the console. I can see how they get people addicted again.

Each set has a different dungeon, and there are rewards for clearing individual dungeons as well as clearing all of them which gives you a real badass pair of wings.

That said, wait for next season. They're reducing the mastery requirements to make it easier to get rewards.

15 bucks for a new class and peripheral content at best? Meh, seems more like a 9.99 price point, but who am I kidding I'll probably get my money out of it.

Does anyone know if the new patch will split the user base?

I've put a billion hours into this game and had fun every minute. $15 is fine for me. I'm just glad it's finally coming out. I haven't played D3 in a while so it's a great time to jump back in.

I feel alright about $15 since we got Greater rifts, legendary gems, Kanais cube, and dozens of new items and sets for free over the last few years since Reaper. It's also pretty expensive to implement a new class, since they have a ton of art assets and the Necromancer also has the corpse system which apparently took the devs quite a bit of time to get working.

That's where I'm at too. I do think $15 is a bit steep but I enjoy the game a lot and as long as they keep adding to it in a meaningful way for free, I'll throw money at it for stuff like this.

I know it's a lame opinion but whatever, I like giving Blizzard money. I haven't spent anything more than $60 total on Overwatch and as mentioned I've gotten a ton of gameplay from Diablo 3. $15 for a character and some new features is alright. Of course $5 would be better but Blizzard knows that everyone is going to pay up.

I got D3 as a gift, so paying $15 for the base game, expansion, free content, and the Necro stuff seems entirely reasonable to me. :)

Is there a good write up anywhere that explains what the Necromancer's gameplay actually feels like? I don't need in depth numbers or anything.

Mostly joking about people being stingy about paying for content in modern D3. The game offers a ridiculous amount of min/max entertainment per dollar and 15 bucks is basically nothing for this.

I have run the numbers to determine if it is A Good Deal

Vanilla Diablo 3 gave us 5 classes at $60, or $12/class
Reaper of Souls gave us 1 class at $20, or $20/class
Necromancer Pack gives us 1 class at $15, or $15/class

As long as you ascribe absolutely no value to the game mechanics, art assets, and missions that were added in Vanilla and RoS, the $15/class price point is actually a tremendous improvement from the previous alarming trend of increases





also it's goddamn $15. That's round-up-all-the-loose-change-in-the-house money.

If I had a $15 bill then sure, I'd pony up and consider selling some assets to acquire Necropack but a las, no $15 bill to spend here.

If you have a friend with a decent level, just surf their game and you can probably hit 70 in a half hour, if not faster.

OK so, uh, Necromancer is ridiculous. This could have simply given me corpse lance with the minions and I would have been happy. Blizzard got a lot of teasing over their "class fantasy" design philosophy, but damned if it doesn't pay off. :allears:

Literally my only complaint is that the voice acting is kind of dull. There's not even dry humour like with the crusaders.

This is exactly what I'm excited for. Now that the crazy thunderstorm here is over I'll have to jump on and grab the pack.

From what I understand part of the Necromancer class fantasy was to make them as serious as possible to counter the Witch Doctor humor. Are you liking the voice for whichever one you picked?

Went with the female Necromancer. She's kind of understated, but acted well enough. No real fear, mild kind of curiosity; doesn't even get terribly excited when three hundred corpses explode. :v:

Even the minions are played pretty straight. There's no silly idle animations, or anything that I've noticed.

Is the voice acting on par with the normal classes as in the various quips and reactions that you get from encounters and NPCs mid-play? Or just the major campaign events?

Probably end up buying it anyway, but at least this opens up the chance of other classes turning up as DLC. The assassin would be plenty of fun on consoles, just smash the controller against my face and then hit a combo ender. :unsmigghh: Guess the druid could turn up with the whole shape-shifting schtick too.
