Diablo Stream Highlights
The Diablo part of the Gamescom Stream didn't give us much new information, except for one. Joshua Mosqueira, lead designer, hinted that Patch 2.1 could be coming within the next "couple weeks"!!! So maybe the patch is a lot closer to being released than some of us imagined. Check a summary of the highlights below, as well as some screenshots!
DiabloFans Quote:
- They aim to release Patch 2.1 within the next "Couple Weeks"
- Console versions' main goal: revive the "Couch Experience with friends".
- Explanation on how the Nemesis System works. The friend who died to the "Nemesis" also gets loot when you kill it.
- Biggest challenge for the Devs was how to translate a good gameplay "feeling" to consoles (without mouse and keyboard).
- The importance of allowing people to import saves from old systems, even through different Platforms.
- Since Sony has been a great partner, when they asked if the devs could make some exclusive items, they loved the idea.
- Nephalem Rift based on The Last of Us™.
- Transmog based on Shadow of Colossus™.
- Josh's favorite classes to play with, when not working, are the Crusader (because of how he's a big guy in armor just smashing through things) and the Demon Hunter (because she kills things with style!) - and in his words: "no, they don't get special treatment".
