Round 4 Livestream VOD

Yesterday's stream had developers and players more worried about making sure their Hardcore character did not die in front of a few thousand viewers rather than discussing a lot of new info, but we still got some interesting commentaries.

On those juicy community buffs, while they don't have anything planned for the near future, important events like the launch of a big patch might definitely come with those. About Season 1 duration, they don't have anything to announce yet but will make sure to let people know in advance. Check the post below, and the VOD on Twitch or Youtube.

For our fourth Play Your Way livestream, associate game designer Don Vu convinced Majier#1230 and I into leveling up new Seasonal heroes to join himself and Joel "deadmau5" Zimmerman in Hardcore mode. The threat of permanent death was very real, and you better bet my heart was racing the entire stream! We started out with Nephalem Rifts on Torment III and pushed our way past Torment VI. After our successes there, we challenged ourselves to Greater Rift levels 25-29! Want to see how we fared? Then check the video embedded video below or watch the VOD directly on Twitch or YouTube.

Curious about the builds we were running? Here's what we were rolling with:

• Brandy "Nevalistis" Camel
  • Hardcore Void Ray
• Don Vu
  • Hardcore Condemn
• Majier
  • Hardcore Sweeping Thunder
• deadmau5
  • Burn Everything

Thanks to those who joined us in chat, especially those demanding blood tribute. Until next time, keep playing your way and don't forget to send in your builds for a chance to join us on stream!

"Leave the Group" Parody

Archon the Wizard has made a funny parody about the way some players are reaching higher (solo) Greater Rift levels - by setting up groups and having party members leave. The beat and lyrics are quite catchy! Check it out.

Azmodan Heroes of the Storm Trailer

For those who follow (and luckily, play) Heroes of the Storm, waiting eagerly for more Diablo characters in that game, good news! The latest patch added another hero from Sanctuary, or rather the Burning Hells. Azmodan, the Lord of Sin, joins the fray with a bulky body and a miriad of minions. He also got a very awesome trailer!
