Diablo 3 Necromancer pack coming out soon!

This game is shit, you can do whatever you want to try to fix it but the game is fundamentally shit. This is garbage in, garbage out.

Quality aside, you can't just fuck over your consumers and then years later expect them to forget it with a new value proposition (with the same product no less). Removing Jay Wilson doesn't change the fact that people at Blizzard with more power than him green-lighted RMAH and the shitty loot/rifts.

Yeah, no thanks ActivisionBlizzard.

No, since they changed necro into a death-themed D2 druid with only 6 skeletons

For the same price as a reskin for the witch doctor i can play grim dawn and PoE. Bliz needs to fucking go away.

i will buy it desu

i think diablo 3 is a comfy game, but i do miss the vanilia diablo 3 sometimes tho

I'll be getting Eternal Collection for PS4. Comes with necromancer class, unlike Ultimate Evil.

>>381689557
GD is gold for D2 fans. I've got more than 400 hours on it. And a full expansion that includes a necromancer class is coming this summer, probably.

>>381689557
I regret buying it, I think I'd rather play TQ, but mods are nice. Wish I'd like the base game enought to mod.

You can run around with way more undead, and the skeletons actually do more damage besides auto attacking.

>>381688387
Does it still have like 4-5 (temporary) skeletons max at a a time?

It looked uninspired as shit.

>>381688387
I will never understand why an extra class is paid dlc. Will they be adding any other content or is it really just the class.

>he can't afford 15 dollars

what's it like being poor lmao

>>381689346
I fucking love Grim Dawn
Dollars to doughnuts their Necromancer is going to be far better than Blizzards.

What the fuck even happened to diablo? Didn't know they still updated that garbage

they're charging fucking $60 for the ultimate evil edition on consoles, when you can get reaper of souls edition for $10 or less. What nonsense.

That said, I still haven't played D3, and I probably should considering I played D2 for over 15,000 hours at last count.

>>381696289
People whined about the auction house, so they removed it, then people complained about having to grind for legendaries, and stopped playing, and the game died.

>>381696391
D3 isn't very good, just play PoE if you want to play a game like D2.

>>381696470
>so they removed it

Too little too late. People like to grind but others have bought good shit before it closed down and grinders hate that.

>>381696476
PoE is garbage with shit netcode and only one or two viable builds across every character though. I played it for years, up through the update where they added bases, when I finally just stopped caring. The ladders were great fun when they added new content though.

>>381688387
$2 per skeleton

>>381696734
My point exactly. it didn't do anything but remove the casual audience who didn't want to grind from the game and kill any chance of commercial success (Though the shit server launch did that pretty well early on)

>fifteen bucks for the final remains of a cancelled xpac
>fifteen bucks for one part witch doctor and one part wizard bastardized into a "new" class
>people will fall for this thinking d3 necro is anything like d2 necro
>which it doesn't even come close to

SEVEN

Where the fuck is diablo 4? I know those blizzard fucks like to drag their garbage on until the playerbase is low which is why ill never touch diablo 3 again

>>381696910

That makes sense. As a grinder, I like grinding and eventually getting something good which FEELS good. But if you throw in a real money auction house, that just strips the feel good feeling because any mook can play 1 day and get a set I would need hundreds of hours to obtain. At that point I might as well just waste my money instead of my time but I'd rather just play something else. Removing it doesn't change the fact that the game was SOILED so nothing short of diablo 4 will peak my interest.

No, you can have a lot more undead out besides your Command Skeleton.

>>381694857
They're adding like 2 maps, a new game mode, some new enemies, but that's about it for new stuff. D3 has essentially a skeleton screw working on the game.

I'm just gonna buy Black Desert Online Pearls with the money I would have spent on this.

i would buy it if it had a new act or any kind of substantial new content but $15 for a new character is steep. i'd pay $5 at MOST and there would need to at least be some kind of new dungeon or something specific to the character.

>>381698781
Yeah, I totally feel you. I personally made about $80 blizzard funbucks (which I used to buy overwatch, go figure) from it, and I never really understood why people wouldn't want it in there, but as time goes on I guess I understand a bit more, but yeah, like you said, soiled already, it's kind of a defeatist attitude but that's just how it goes.

>>381700605
They're not wrong. $15 isn't really that big of a deal, considering the content they were going to offer with it, they stripped out and made into the 2.6 patch. Would $9.99 or even free be ab etter idea? Absolutely. But we all know that wasn't going to happen.

Only reason I'm getting it is because I can buy it with WoW gold. I wouldn't pay $15 for it otherwise.

I have over 5 million gold in WoW right now, on my main server.

Yet I still buy shit like this with real money. Even pay for my WoW sub with real money.

When I get near the cap of all characters on one server I'll spend some of the gold on shit like this.

I just love hoarding gold in WoW.

How do I become a gold hoarding jew like you?

>>381694058

>hurr durr u cant pay 15% because you're poor

Lets counter that flawless logic. If blizzard want you to buy a bootle of water for 15% when others give the same for 1$ or less, im in this case poor bastard who cant afford it?

Quit with this damned fanboism, i really like d3, im coming back every season to have fun for some time. But 15% for a character, created by one of the biggest company in industry tells one thing
1. Blizz have very poor skilled teams that need to much time to create a character, eating resources
2. They milk every shit possible because thre thousands upon thousands of retards who'll throw any money to get this
And propably its both. Its simple logic, 15$ is not worth for this "workpiece". I can go and buy some games durning steam sale to play for 100+ hours

>>381702079
Have every crafting profession maxed out. The rest of your characters on that server, spread out gathering professions. Have maxed fishing (boring as fuck to level, but the mats are useful for money making) and cooking on one character. I suggest a druid for the fishing/cooking one. I would also make the druid a mining/herbalism for the flight.

Then just do the profession shuffle.

Sell whatever is needed on your AH at the time.

When you get over a million gold you can start buying out other people and reposting for your own prices. It also makes you a ton of gold.

>>381702353

>>381688387
I return to DIII every once in a while just to find it to be pure shit again. I just uninstalled it, actually.

- skill delays annoy me
- auto stats annoy me
- sealed economy annoys me
- items as stat sticks annoy me
- the generator/spender dynamic annoys me
- shallow itemisation annoys me
- balance by monster health pool annoy me

The game has been so polished that it lost its shape.

Think this will bring back players? Even if I always play alone it's somehow more fun when there are people in chat and in threads. There's still plenty of classes I haven't played that I care more about than Necromancer though. Think I'll go Crusader next.

>>381702353
Then don't buy it. They stripped actual content from the pack and didn't readjust the price. Anyone who actually buys the necromancer deserves to have their money taken from them.

Would have paid 10$ because my friends would have also bought it and we'd have fun.

Won't pay 15$ because neither me nor my friends are willing to pay 15$ for what is essentially nothing. Way WAY too much nothing for 15$.

I'll save it for the GD expansion, they're adding 2 more classes, more story/areas and over 200 fucking legendaries to the game.

>>381702774
120 mbit. So pretty decent. Delays annoy me because they break the game dynamics. In D2 very few skills had delays because of technical reasons - spamming them would couse massive lag. Otherwise all skills could be cast non-stop which made the game very, very dynamic. In D3 delays just make the game SLOOOOOOOW because the good stuff is front loaded and then you have to wait, and wait, and wait and wait.

I'd rather cut off my dick and glue it to my forehead than playing this garbage.

The majority of the player base is malcontent about the state of the game and has moved on and won't be coming back.

The necromancer release won't help with that.
+5 mainstat the game.

I really enjoyed Titan Quest, so I picked up Grim Dawn. I have to say, while I don't think it's a bad game, it doesn't work as well as TQ. I'll tell you why that was for me:

1. The Abilities

I tend to play magic users, so take this with a grain of salt. It may not apply to you. But the abilities I can wield in Grim Dawn feel dull, generic or, when they aren't, they feel badly realized. Go back to Titan Quest and the themes and visuals of the abilities are much, much more satisfying. There's no lack of inspiration in the game, but many of the abilities I was using felt uninspired. There is no Dream tree that opens itself up to melee or pet or caster builds. There's nothing that diverse that I can play in so many different ways. Dream had some balance issues, but it's real draw is how nice it looked, how nice it felt and how many ways you could apply its use to builds of varying type. Building a bad ass spear wielding melee character, a pet summoner or a devastating caster all felt equally as amazing in their own way. Grim Dawn doesn't have that, and didn't learn from Dream or the other disciplines TQ make to engaging like Defense and it's wonderful Titan mode.

2. The Setting

I love ancient cultures, and TQ explored them, in a hack and slash looter of course, but it explored a fictional version of ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt and the ancient east and other places, some more fantastical. Grim Dawn explores something that I not only have less interest for, but also something I've seen explored far more times. Imagine if they'd let us explore a setting inspired by ancient Sumeria or even a primitive stone age or pre-stone age setting? Still fictionalized, still magical, but things we see far less of. It hit me that I'd explored Grim Dawn before in countless games. It's not a bad game or setting, but your mileage may vary depending on how many times you've played through this particular setting.

>>381689532

Yes, it should have.

>>381700524
>edgelord necro

Explain. Your image has the same hair,the same armor and the same pallid looking old man. The only difference appears to be the weapon used.

>>381688387

>>381704126
>4usd
What on earth made you expect 4usd? We're talking Blizzard here. 25usd for a fucking mount. You're lucky the Necro wasn't 60usd.

>>381704108
Attitude and dialog. D2 necro is snide, D3 is EDGY to contrast with the Witch Doctor.

>>381704249
RoS was 39.99usd when it came out for its digital standard edition.

>>381703880

>There's nothing that diverse that I can play in so many different ways.

Only if you lack inspiration. Hell, my best character is a TSS/OFF hybrid build that has the fucking sky come crashing down on everything when it gets going.

Got a molotov grenade chucking build that burns everything to the ground and a pure Lightning caster with so much lighting everywhere that it's hard to see shit. Currently playing a lightning retaliation Warder and shit just explodes the moment it comes near me.

There's a shitton of builds available, I still haven't tried a DEE poison caster and a Sigil vitality caster. Granted, most if not all start to actually work around lvl 40 or so but eh, that's a flaw I'll admit the game has.

>>381703880

>>381704597
>lack inspiration

Not really. It just doesn't compare, and your example just highlighted the very dull and uninspired nature of the abilities available, often with equally limited visuals. Why its ability visuals lag so far behind TQ, which came out years prior, I'll never understand.

Even when you have trees that sound interesting, the actual contents just never lives up. As I said, I more often play a caster, and the caster trees in this game have some of the least interesting concepts and visuals I've ever seen in a game of this type. My basic bolt spell in this game, from one of them, looked worse than any given bolt from TQ, and the end portions of the tree it was in had done of the least interesting treetop abilities I've ever seen. Period. No exceptions.

yeah but divine divinity is complete shit

Haven't played D3 since the RMAH shut down, after that it seemed pointless grinding for items to sell to NPCs for gold to repair items to rinse and repeat.

Don't have RoS, is it worth having a go or is it still dog shit?
