This, holy shit. I'm afraid of criticising them too much in the general chat but what were they thinking? I enjoy playing Necro but there is almost no balance between the sets. I hope they shit out a rebalance before the next season starts.

Isn't the Necro like 15 dollars? It seems like too much just to replay the campaign.

I've been playing campaign with my friend using a pair of necromancers and I've been having fun. The endgame of diablo 3 never really grasped me past torment 4, it's just a cookie cutter build cluster fuck of an experience.

Not worth it imo. Same dialogue as the rest of the cast except now spoken by a Necromancer. You won't experience anything new except some class specific stuff pre Malthael fight. Skills are designed for high level sets and items in mind. They aren't especially fun on their own.

D4 will happen. Even Brevik thinks it's inevitable. The franchise is just too big for them not to make a new Diablo game. The genre still has life in it and Blizzard can spin Diablo 4 as the redemption story of the franchise after the disappointment of 3.

Speaking of which, the new zones that came with the patch give some decent indication where they could take the story without writing themselves into a corner. Namely, if the demons can't beat the nephalem, join them by ingesting the power within their blood.

That'd imply they exist/are canon as opposed to the heroes presented in HoTS, again causing a shit storm over muh HoTS representatives and so on.
Sadly they have driven themselves into a corner where using the same plot device they already used in Diablo 2 would only harm them.

>responsible for sc2

hm
>>
Why does Grim Dawn have such fucking terrible art when Titan Quest's art work was 10/10?
>>
>>382476842
The HotS heroes are not the same heroes from D3. They're, if anything, alternate universe versions of the D3 Nephalem, from timelines in which THEY are the Nephalem.

And that's just TRYING to make sense of it, the real truth is that they don't give a shit and just threw them over into HotS, whereas D3 has items that simply reference the HotS characters by namedropping them.

So in short, yes, that very well could be a possibility and is honestly a really fucking awesome idea, having the Nephalem be a boss in each act.
>>
>>382477469
SC2 was a very good game though. They pulled off the asymmetric faction design almost perfectly, and mechanically it was one of the most impressive games I've ever seen.

The problem was that it was fully designed for eSports cancer. The custom games of sc1 weren't there, there was nothing except ladder for a very long time. This scares away people who just wanna play for fun instead of having to endure the stress of climbing the ladder every single day.

I'm talking about release btw.

>Responsible for Heroes of the Storm

Yeah, he's fucking great. They only started doing semi-dumb shit after he was moved to lead a new "unannounced project".
>>
>>382477738
Dunno man I played and got to masters (when it was introduced) at release and the blobby combat situation was never fixed.
99% of games always revolved around a single fight and that made the game be a lot less viewer friendly than brood war which always had multiple skirmishes around the whole map before the game would be decided
>>
>>382477696

It doesn't matter if they could. They could bring back anyone from any game by all means, but they ain't gonna do it. The characters have faces and names now, even if anyone wants to throw the alternate reality buzzconcept around, the people now have expectations of how the characters would behave, and repeating the same old tune as with D2's assassin would simply piss people off in two different fronts; unoriginality and waifu-destroying. They just aren't going to chance it. They never do.

>>382478439

>>
>>382477696
They could also have some of the Nephalem classes be NPC's, like the Demon Hunter.
Wizard would surely be a boss because of the whole being very power hungry thing and we could get to see Xiansai, same with the Monk returning to Ivgorod and corrupting the monk council or something.

>>382478073

I am ALL for them pulling a Torchlight 2 in D4, it really really just comes down to whomever they're going to have writing the thing, and how willing they are to try and shy away from the more Hollywood type story structure Metzen was gearing towards near the end of his career.
>>
You can't make your own build in this game. You HAVE to use the sets the developers created for you, or the 1-2 outlier LoN builds (which are still a set). Each class has like 25 different skills and 100 different skill runes yet the sets dictate you're only allowed to use 1-2 4-5 skills and 4-5 runes. What's the point of this game if you can't even make your own characters and are forced to use preset builds the developer made?
>>
>15 bucks
Fuck Blizzard
Seriously, fuck them
>>
>>382479286
The funny thing is that when asked why they never went with a traditional talent tree and stat distribution system, they said "well because people just end up playing the exact same builds and statting the exact same way so whats the point? this way, you get to change your build whenever you'd like"

This game was way better when I was making $500 a week just selling shit on the RMAH instead of equipping it.
>>
>>382479537
That was kinda true though. Diablo 2 had very strange design decisions. Stats were useless for the most part and barely required any planning. You put in the minimum dex and str required to equip the gear you plan on getting and then you dump the rest in Vit 99% of the time. The classes were so imbalanced that they usually only had two viable builds at most. End game was just farming Baal runs as quickly as possible so you can get the gear required for your build. And boy howdy was it fun grinding for runewords.
>>
>>382468437

Who cares? As if I'm going to give Blizzard yet ANOTHER chance, or any more money to fix shit that shouldn't have been so horrendously broken in the first place.

It was just a fucking video. Necro isn't that great is the point.

Can someone explain to me why do people constantly criticize diablo 3 for its "shit story"? Are they actually implying Diablo 1 and 2 had good stories?

To expand on that, why is D3's story considered dumb?
>>
>>382480014
That's the thing, just because D2 had some flaws with the way stats interacted with gear and builds nad shit, that doesn't mean they couldn't have sat down and worked it out. Cookie cutter builds are always going to be present, no matter fucking what, but between talent trees, stats and gear, there are still some people who manage to make funky builds that semi-work, even if it means essentially just being all twinked out.

The illusion of free choice still feels better overall even if it's a minority who will actually put it to good use. I sincerely hope they go back to the traditional set up for D4, and make it actually work this time. Torchlight and Grim Dawn did it pretty decently, and everything is able to be improved. These motherfuckers have the money to put forth the effort needed to attempt improving it.

>The classes were so imbalanced that they usually only had two viable builds at most
two for each class or two between all the classes? either statement isn't really accurate but the former might be considered accurate if your definition of viable is meta/best.

>End game was just farming Baal runs as quickly as possible so you can get the gear required for your build
you farmed baal for xp not for gear/drops.
>>
>>382480492
It's the difference between having a narrative which is subtle and passive vs. one that throws everything in your face via cutscenes all over the place, and one that also follows typical Hollywood action flicks both in story structure and presentation, because man are those D3 cinematics actiony.

I just dont see the replay value in diablo 3. I beat the game one of the harder difficulties and if I felt done with it. Only came back to mess around with reaper of souls before ditching the game again. Don't get me wrong I had fun. But just watching numbers go up to the point to whete the only difference between levels of play is how long i hold down the mouse to kill an enemy. And seasons dont sound appealing either, I tried it and had fun till i had to start all over.
>>
the ONLY good thing about D3 was the characterization and voice acting / dialog. If you played through the campaign getting every convo the PC got pretty fully developped and the voice acting was genuinely good. It's hard to believe but the characters have genuine depth (except for the retarded witch doctor)

How is the necro dialog / voice acting?

D1 and 2 stories were rather subdued. It was mostly about the atmosphere and the setting in general. I wouldn't say they're works of art or anything, but they put in something engaging enough without being shoved in your face and convoluted.

D3 is more like a hollywood adaptation. D1 and D2 heroes were mostly normal people that noticed some evil going on and went to investigate it. D3 heroes are super powered special snowflakes that awakened once more after the Worldstone exploded. There was no real reason for this considering that normal humans fared just fine against demons when they actually tried. Retconning D1 warrior into being Leoric's son makes no sense because no one recognizes him in D1. Adria, also being from D1, being pretty much the main villain that fucks everyone over is silly at best and just more nostalgia pandering for the sake of it with no regards to story or logic in general.

There is a lot more focus on the angels this time around. They are beyond fucking dumb. I understand the whole hubris thing and "ewwww, hellspawn" they got going on, but this is beyond ignorance. How many times does Hell need to fuck up Sanctuary before they realize that the enemy of my enemy is a friend? Next stop is Heaven after Sanctuary and giving it up is a silly tactical decision that only Tyrael seems to understand.

The whole meleodrama with Leah in general is boring and there's no real reason to care. She's a Mary Sue and apparently Diablo essence is in your DNA or something if he knocks up some bitch with his demon cock. Also, let's kill one of the best characters in the series with a jobber nobody demon who somehow just teleports into New Tristram because she can somehow (what about the other demons?????) and for some reason says who her master is out of the blue like some Saturday morning cartoon.

TL;DR They took a simple concept and made it more convoluted and melodramatic. D1/2 aren't amazing stories, but they were just enough to push you along

Just a reminder that this was supposed to be the act boss in early stages of the game, along with other butchered story ideas.

Instead they made her into a random spider demon boss just before the Azmodan fight.
>>
>>382482992
Well, she wasn't actually Diablo. I suppose this is semantics though. Somehow someway, Diablo set this shit up decades in advance. He fucked Adria so he could have some insurance, AKA a future vessel should he need it. Now in D2 you do destroy his soulstone upon the anvil just like Mephisto. He should be fucking dead forever, again, just like Mephisto. However, just because he has a fucking daughter he's able to come back despite being in the Black Abyss. This begs the question, how come other demons don't do this? This was such a long con with so many things that could've gone wrong. In the end, a Mary Sue gets possessed by Diablo out of the blue. It's a contrived and convoluted reason to resurrect Diablo. So not only am I annoyed by such odd direction, the fact that I'm supposed to care about this nobody character is the icing on the cake. I suppose this is why people hate that plot twist. At least female Diablo is fuckin' hot.

The completely shat the bed with the minions, recasting every 6 seconds is counter productive in a game where you must run and kill as fast as possible. They also made 90% of the skill useless unless you have the exact set and legendary they want, it's the most gear driven character of the game for no fucking reason.
curse are also obligatory if you want to make DPS, but only if you use all the passives they want you to use as well.
Fucking horrible ideas: the build. I refuse to believe this was play tested at all.

Necromancer voice acting is PURE SEX. Characterization is ok. He's more angst than the snarky/edgy of the d2 necromancer and keeps going on about "THE BALANCE" but in general he's got some good lines.

Yeah, in Normal mode.

Tbh all blizzard games post classic wow have been designed really badly for gameplay.
D3 has no skill tree or stat system. Few challenges and lacks the complexity of the second.
Sc2s engine means everything is deathballs smashing into each other.
Overwatch and hots are just shitty team games. Especially OW which is more like a moba mariocart game than a fps and is coded incredibly poorly.
>>
>>382485764

OW was not coded poorly. It's pretty much bug free and runs like a dream. It's the gameplay that's shit.

Wrong. Off the top of my head Dva bugs have crashed their servers.
>>
>>382485301
A lot of D2 builds revolved around having the gear to pull it off so there were still basic standard builds that pretty much everybody went because they were the most efficient without requiring much gear, once people had the means, THEN they went off and did the non-cookie cut shit. But that's where they fucked up with D3, the gear is all that matters and because of the effects/set bonuses, dictates what you HAVE to use build-wise. So its not like theres any way you can really break away from that which you're cornered into.
>>
Anyway most reddit kids are retards and dont understand that their games became shit because they took the advice of "pro" min maxing autist faggots.
Thats why everything has a reductionist logic.

How is it wrong?
>Amazon - Can only really play Javazon lightning spec with a bit of poison spillover for immunes (or powerup a merc)
>Barb - Leap spinning the most viable. Shouts are okay but pale in comparison to spin2win
>Necro - Strangely the most versatile of the classes. Bone build tends to work best in higher difficulties, but he's the outlier where he has a bunch of builds that work.
>Paladin - Hammerdin is one of the best builds in the game. Nothing else in his kit compares.
>Sorceress - ICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>Assassain - So much bloat and useless skills. Trapsin is the only viable build
>Druid - A bit more versatile than most. Along with Necro, he's an outlier when it comes to build diversity. Summon Druid is probably the weakest of his builds.

I mean sure you can clear the highest difficulty with gimmicks if you really wanted to, but you'd just be making the game harder for yourself for no reason. These are clearly the best builds by far and there's no reason not to take them. Most classes are filled with useless skills that you only amp up for synergies if you have to. You'd be a fool not to minmax a particular few sets of skills. Pretend all you like. I love D2 and have played through it many many times, but I don't pretend D2 is some build diverse game. It's super pigeonholed.

>>
>>382487503
This isn't autistic optimization. You're looking for PoE in that regard. A child could figure this shit out. The reason why there were so many cookie cutter builds in D2 was because so many skills were useless. Because the game doesn't have cooldowns, you'd be wasting your time investing your points into things that aren't necessary for your build which is usually two or three skills plus synergies and passives to dump the rest of your points. You nostalgia babies are delusional. I'm not even saying D2 was bad. Just stop pretending D2 was a super diverse game when it came to builds.
>>
>>382487503
The entire conversation is predicated upon the fact that Blizzard was talking about what people did in D2's end-game, which is to say that there were standard cookie-cutter builds that the majority went to farm with, not complete the game for the very first time with. That's what the guy was saying, there's clear builds that you went in order to optimally farm with, which ended up just being clear choices you went for doing whatever the fuck.

Because these games are "about builds" does not mean that there were not clear cut go-to builds. What are you even trying to say here? You sound confused.

Lightning + chain lightning, blizzard + glacial spike, frozen orb, fireball + meteor, firewall.
>Assassin
Blade fury this skill is actually viable, most people don't realize it because it has weird hidden mechanics that don't exist anywhere else except for the other blade skills, dragon talon, lightning sentry, phoenix strike, dragon tail. Pretty much anything works, and tacking on death sentry makes even the stupidest build a viable farmer.
>Druid
The only character besides the barbarian with no build diversity. If you are anything except for a wind druid, you are mentally retarded. His shapeshifting skills are just shittier versions of other characters.

This. And I'd also like to add that Necromancer zoo build (max skeletons, summon resist, golem of your choice, revive, corpse explosion) is one of the most powerful farming builds in the game. And best of all? You can do it naked. You do not need any gear what so ever. This makes them one of the most effective magic find classes for that reason. You can just stack blue/yellow random shit with magic find and you're good to go. Necromancer minions baseline are that awesome.

There are already games like Warframe that do that. Isometric perspective isn't just a relic of old gaming; it is just a perspective that works well for RTS style games.

Loot grinders use isometric well because it allows the player to see what loot is good, pick it up, and then vendor it because it's actually trash.

this is your choice as a summonancer
7 skeletons + about 3 skely mages that last 6 seconds
or 1 golem + skely mages
you cant get any more skeletons and the skeleton mage timer can be increased by 2 seconds with a rune and another 2-4 seconds with a special legendary ring

meanwhile with witchdoctor you can have 23 pets out at the same time

How the fuck did this happen

You can get about 25 pets active at once I think. 7 skeletons,1 golem, 10 reanimates and the rest skeleton mages. You can also have several pets from legendary item effects added to it

Diablo isn't an RTS style game, so I don't know why you'd bring that up. Loot would of course be slightly harder to keep track of, but then there's so much fucking garbage loot in these games that you could probably cut down on that shit tenfold and still be wading through trash drops up to your knees. I haven't played warframe though, how does it differ from the diablo series?

nigga you can mix and match any spell at your disposal and put them into any slot you want (check your options menu)

there's a passive that makes temporary minions last longer, and there's a rune for skelly mages that make them last longer (it stacks). Your attack speed also affects how fast you can summon those skelly mages, giving you the opportunity to have up to 10 of them.

if you're doing it right, there should always be more than enough corpses around to always have 10 resurrected enemies with you at all times

RTS style of clicking on small targets in a 2D environment. You knew what I meant.

In Warframe you just vacuum up all nearby loot, so just oneshot everything, do a magic space ninja somersault into the next room, and do it again.

If you feel like doing the same 3 parkour moves over and over again to get to the next disappointing loot pinata then Warframe is okay.
>>
>>382489452
you obviously dont like the genre and have no input into what would make d4 good retard
>>
>>382491439
clicking on small targets IS the interface, to say that top-down is good for that is basically a tautology. I think that Diablo is in essence about killing monsters by the truckload, there are lots of control methods that are good for that aside from top-down, and those control methods can give greater fidelity and depth to your character than merely clicking to do everything. diablo is also about loot, but while I love me a good skinner box making it the purpose of the game is fundamentally fucking retarded and pointless, it should be to enhance the monster-killing experience, which you do on the path to beating the game

OP here. I know I should've listened to my gut and you guys. Still I bought it. Hell, back before vanilla Diablo 3 release I even bought a (please don't laugh) pre built Diablo 3 themed computer with D3 headphones, mouse, mousemat etc. Boy was I a fool... I still romanticize Blizzard because I grew up with them from the Warcraft 1 days and I loved Diablo 1 and 2. But this Necromancer release made me realize Blizzard ain't Blizzard anymore. This is the last time I auto buy something from them. I don't even know if I'd trust them enough to buy Diablo 4 at this point.

D3 release was over 5 years ago, if you're still butthurt it wasn't D2.5 like you thought and mad you're down 60 dollarydoos I don't know what to tell you.
Reaper of Souls made it blatantly obvious this is just a casual hack and slash, its not really gonna change that. Go play POE, D2 or Grim Dawn if you wanna scratch that hardcore mechanical itch.

How many of those can you keep up permanently? How many of those spells can you fit into a build which actually works at a similar level to the best necro builds or the best builds of other classes?

I made a retarded Skeleton King build based on all of the Leoric legendaries, like the mace, shoulders, crown, rings, etc and went with a melee build because the Skeleton King ain't no pussy. Still cleared into the 70s without really pushing it.

>>382502582
I played D1 when it was new, but hated D2 because it was nothing like D1.
It captured none of the atmosphere or magic or coolness of D1 for me. I have always seen D2 the way you lot see D3.

I love D3 because it ditched most of what I disliked about D2, like the stupid shit that cluttered your inventory up, and because I see it as basically a different game franchise than D1. It's been so long, and I've grown so much that I can't really expect a game company to remake D1 for me. So D3 is to D1 as D3 is to Bejeweled. Different games. Different genres.

7 regular skellies no time limit
1 golem no time limit
10 skelly mages with a short lifespan (6 seconds or up to 12 or 14 with rune+passive+legendaries)
10 revives with a short lifespan (15 seconds a bit more with passive)

As opposed to what?

This doesn't really sound like fun. I didn't like Path of Exile because you had to constantly spam short lived minions.

A game that's not ass.
>>
>>382506290
Itss funny the inconsistancy on blizz forums. For so e of their games they allow scathing criticism but i noticed on the eu d3 forum they were banning people for any criticism. It was just more proof the game bombed hard after launch.
>>
People still play this fucking garbage?
>>
>>382506738
It feels like you can easily have way more minions as witch doctor with 3 regular dogs, 1 regular gargantuan and the passive that can spawn a fetish on attack

This is such a tough choice. In all honesty, I feel sorry for the blizzdrones that won't play poe and are too shit play it.

Are you trying to imply a functional human being would play Diablo 3 story mode more than once or what?

Not him but some guy either earlier ITT or in a recent previous thread claimed that the campaign was always fun.

You people are so fucking stupid.

how the fuck do people even stand Path of Exile?
It's literally 99% passives. It's quite disgusting.
At least Grim Dawn/Titan Quest/Diablo has shit during level ups that modify how the abilities work. Path of Exile not even that. It's just + AoE, + damage, + STR
>>
>>382512635
>It's literally 99% passives

So is Grim Yawn, literally, and every build plays the same.
>>
>>382512779
>so is grim yawn
but this is false
at least in grim dawn some of the passives alter the way the abilities they're attached to function, mostly by adding new elements to them

Don't respond to it. He shitposts every thread with the same inane fictional drivel.

No, it is true. All you do is pump points into passive on hit procs.

Good advice.

It's true. I suspect Grim Dawn kicked his ass and now he's crying about it.

Your tears are delicious.

I'm not the one crying because I was told the truth about my favorite game.
>>
Was playing Diablo 3 on xbone, but I'm going to do a solo run of Grim Dawn again. Any ideas for builds?
>>
>>382513105
I wonder if it's the same guy as several months back where an OP made a thread bashing the game purely for that reason. Although some anons helped him out with a build and he reverted on some of his opinions so he wasn't just spouting the same content ad nauseum.

Imagine being this delusional and paranoid.

welcome to Diablo, a few years late.

I'm a corporate cuck that can afford anything he wants in his life right now (well maybe except buying a new house every month). Are u mad?

>>382514858
Don't worry, D2 will probably be remastered soon enough.

Why do people think watching AI controlled units play the game for them is fun?

I dunno man I feel like in the 20 years since Diablo you may have just outgrown the genre if you want to change what many believe to be a intrinsic game play element (that is the top down perspective ect...). To me it wouldnt really be Diablo any more, like the lore and fantasy of the game is so fucking unoriginal it certainly wouldn't be enough to warrant it still being called Diablo if you changed the way the game was fundamentally played.
>>
>>382481487
>>382481983
have you tried using a god damn support gem in either of ur fucken lives. try a lower duration+fcr linked lightning warp and then get back to me about how its slow. its not instant liek d2 teleport but you can use it to evade tons of shit for basically free.
>>
>>382490553
But diablo 2 was that, where is this idea that D2 was some fucking masterpiece RPG. It was just a fucking fun dumb grindfest with a very enjoyable well designed loot system.
