I'd love Lost Ark to be a hugely successful new game, but my guess is it will be another overhyped Korean bomb.

ToBeRuined posted a message on Patch 2.5.0 = Minor Patch?Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion2.5 is great but what I really would like to see is that If Diablo 3 has to join the dryish dlc fashion, make sure it is more like one hell of a mini-expansion! It should be aimed to be the best selling DLC the world has seen, it's Diablo franchise after all! Do they really want to gamble whether Necro is going to sell enough alone? Instead, ask more resources from Blizzard, make Necro DLC cost $5 more, whatever. Just make sure that Necro DLC is something that draws players back. If I was they marketing guy, I would announce that:
Diablo 3 has been a great journey and we are very proud of it! As the Necromancer is soon here, "Restoring the Balance", we are making some major adjustments and additions for Diablo 3. The Necromancer will be released in December and it will change the gameplay so significantly that we are going to update the version number to 3.0. Our main target is to double, even triple the build diversity and the amount of viable builds. Half comes from balancing and half comes from a very exciting new addition, the Relics*.
I hear too many saying that "nice that Necro is coming, but it will remain just the same". Instead it would be nice to hear that "Holy skeleton! Did you hear what's coming with the Necromancer?" Even if D4 was under development, the marketing laws still affect on Necro DLC sells.
*For example. This quote was from my also-seen-here suggestion topic from us forums:

People dislike my comments from time to time because I speak the truth.
Quote from Demonmonger»And then there are people like this, born with an entitlement that EVERYTHING THEY WANT, they also deserve.
You decide which one is in a better situation.
People know you in this forum and in Blizzard official forums. Your opinions are equally repudiated in both.
Do us a favor and leave already. You are disgusting. There are other people here who defend Blizzard's , but they can do it without insulting anyone and with actual arguments. No need for your kind.
The truth is the last thing people want to hear when they sit an complain about something.
In the end, the ultimate truth is that people who constantly complain are never going to be happy, and in their complaints, talk themselves even further out of reason. -

Bagstone posted a message on Patch just started updating on my PC!!!Posted in: Diablo III General DiscussionIt could be worse. Korea gets patch 1.5 days after NA (Thursday, NA gets Tuesday) but season starts there first (approx. 16h or so before NA). They usually have a bit more than one full day between patch and season start. I've mentioned it for some time: a game that is virtually dead in NA should really start focusing more on the other regions. Especially considering setting up the PTR in Europe or Asia.
Well, we'll get 2.4.3 eventually. Just sit here and wait. -

RealGsuss posted a message on 2.4.3 patch tomorrow? (3 Jan)Posted in: Diablo III General DiscussionI'm a fan, and I'm not angry. Speak for yourself, not for everybody. I enjoy the game as is. Sure, it could be better (I don't bother thinking about how), but I'm kinda happy anyway

Yup, and this explanation clearly has NOTHING to due with the wording of the datamined string.Quote from Angry_Roleplayer»
I am not so sure you guys understood correctly what Wyatt said:
https://youtu.be/z80DRTclTo0?t=788
they wanted to make a recipe that would allow you to RECONSTITUTE item back from the power. Not to infuse some item with different power.

It's not botting, but it's account sharing - which is against the EULA.
This is simply not correct. Please do not spread misinformation.
Of course this is not allowed. See first reply to your question - it's account sharing, which is against the EULA.
Again, it doesn't matter if the 2 people playing 1 account live in the same house, or live in the same room, or are spread around the world. If you share your account with someone else that's account sharing, against the EULA, and will get you banned.
Please, people, stop spreading misinformation that will get people banned. -

Bagstone posted a message on Do you buy virtual ticket on Blizzcon?Posted in: Diablo III General DiscussionStreaming Blizzcon events will get you banned. In previous years it wasn't enforced that much, but last year many streamers got banned (at least temporarily) for streaming Blizzcon events that were exclusive to the virtual ticket. So don't count on that (there will of course be streams, as illegal streams are a thriving business).
Obviously, since this an illegal activity we would also like everyone to keep it to themselves and not promote those things on our forums. Thanks.
Angzt will live ticker all Diablo-related events on our frontpage as usual. I will probably buy the Virtual Ticket because why not - some of the other events are also fun to watch. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Here's the thing though..
Patches on consoles, has to go through various processes to actually get live for the playerbase. This process can take several days/weeks, for Sony/Microsoft to run. That's one of the reasons why you don't see patches go out for consoles, as often as you see them on PC (in any game that goes on both platforms).
...along with the fact that there is a fee to starting the process (not a huge thing for big companies, obviously), on consoles as well - it all adds up.
But yeah - showing these things is great in general, but for consoles; not so much. It takes FAAAR to long to get a patch out, that fixes an issue (they usually tend to hold back fixes, until they have several, because of the time it takes to 'validate' and because of the cost - better to send out a 'big bundle of fixes' than several smaller ones). This makes the publicity of said exploits, fairly bad on consoles. It's a non-issue on PC - publish them as fast and vast as you like; and they'll just patch it 'whenever' - but that's not the case for consoles...
Edit:
I'm not saying you shouldn't publish and show people this - kinda forcing Blizzard to 'take action' - I'm just saying; that it might not get you the result you want (fast at least), but rather a ton more people using it, because of the (potentially) slow response to these things, on console (due to how Sony/Microsoft does their work)..

Since more and more Streams are getting focus (Which is great) in various news posts on this site; could we please get them as something that doesn't just autoplay?
Clips and such, don't autoplay - but when a stream is embedded directly (stream link directly), it just fires up if the stream is active.
Nothing worse than some random stream (or just a video) just starting on it's own - I dislike this on ANY site that does this, and I'm sure I'm far from alone on that.
I don't get why that was even made a thing.

They got the patch, because of the filesize of the console patch. The PC filesize is (as always) going to be nowhere near the console size and doesn't need that much time to get sorted. Besides; it's MS and Sony that control when patches get sent to the end-user (on console - if that wasn't obvious) - not the developer/publisher. They need to get sent through certification from MS/Sony.
'Blizzard always finds a way to fuck with us' - really?
I'm sure that was their first though - Obviously has to be - Can't possibly be anything else.
Season 9 starts on Friday - if you can't wait until then (at most), then you've got some serious issues in your life.
I'd hate to be anyone in your family, telling you that they have a gift for you or something, that you'd be getting within any given timeframe - guessing you might explode within minutes of getting that info.
Just relax and do something else. No need to get all fired up over something that is guaranteed to be out within 2 days (They 100% won't set the patch to go live, after a season starts - that's a 'no-go' for Blizzard).

I would be happy, if it just remained similar to what D3 is today, with a few tweaks here and there (Paragons mostly..).
The only big thing I would want in D4, would be a complete engine and server structure change.
The engine used in D3 is not doing well. It did okay at launch, but with more and more stuff added, along with effects; it's going in the shitter..
The servers needs massive amounts of love. They were not prepared (no pun intended) for the 'always-online'-movement, they sparked life into again, with this game. They still aren't up for it, when 'shit hits the fan', in terms of users and new additions to the game.
D4 'just' needs a new engine and server structure (compared to D3) - then I'm pretty much good with what we got already.

Here you go:

A "mix" of a regular Goblin and the added Pet drop (at least on PTR).

No matter if someone else has it or not; you should always report a bug.
It might pop up further down the line, for a bigger amount of people - you never know.
It's always best to report these issues so they can get ahead of it, while it might not be that widespread.

According to the Dev in Quin's chat; yeah (Look at the last post I made - the image).

Try looking up "Lost Ark". It's a Asian title that is currently in CBT. It looks very promising.
There's no announced date or anything, for a full release, but they have stated that they are going "world wide" with the game (after several inquires as to why it wasn't made in English).
..so that might be something to look forward to.
Here is one of the many articles on it: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-11-17-lost-ark-is-the-best-diablo-3-clone-you-cant-play (don't put to much into the last segment about not getting a western release - that has since been talked over and "confirmed" to happen)
Other than that; there's pretty much no game out there that does what D3 does currently. Some do it differently, but doesn't really keep up with the "feel" we're used to with the Diablo-franchise
