As with all other collector’s edition cosmetic items, open the mail, click the “Claim” button, and right-click the “Mercy’s Gaze” item in your inventory to add the new wings to your collection.

Patch 2.4.1 zDPS Support DH
Philosophios has released a video showcasing a zero-DPS support DH spec optimized and updated for Patch 2.4.1. It's a top tier build that's capable of pushing your party to GR levels 100 and above. Definitely check it out!
Now I'm debating whether I should attempt to buy tickets for blizzcon this year or hold off till we know that D4 is soon.
New game should be Diablo Souls where you play as a puny human rather than a super powered nephalem.
World of Diablo ?
what in the hell is happening with the diablo team?!?!?! also, xenogear wings?...no thanks...what more totally non-diablo feeling things could they add to the game?...
My wings have finally arrived. nice
Massive KeK @ people saying/thinking D4, Sad news for you. D4 is never coming out because they plan to keep D3 current.
D4 is probably in the works, im more and more convinced by the recent news! "next hit game" with lots of new members in developement, like that brand new concept artist to make a good fresh start! *cross fingers* i hope it wont be D3X2, and we will see an announcement of D4 with some early concept art at blizzcon 2016!
its been quite awhile since D3 released, and theres no similairity with the time blizzard north got disbanded... so there wont be 12 years, and 5 years(maybe even 6 or 7 years!) are allready enough to move on for a next game, esspecially if you add the fact D3 is flawed from the core and they got tons of feedback with D3 experiments. go go blizzard, make this right this time!
i have heard that Diablo fans will be blown away @ blizzcon this year and that this year its all about the D fans
It makes far more sense for another expansion to be coming. Why? Because the devs at diablo 3 wouldn't be spending so much time making into the game and listening to the fans trying to balance everything thats already in the game on top of the last 4-5 patches giving us TONS of new stuff. Along with set dungeons which IMO is just busy work to hope peak an interest in players playing other sets to keep them invested in the game longer WHILE the expansion is being made so once its out, everyones still into d3 and respecting it because they keep balancing things and putting stuff into the game that makes sense and QOL improvements which are huge and they've been very good about. So when that expansion hits, $$$$$$$$$$$ they make dat cake. Also, This season it will be pretty doable that people will solo gr 90+ and the next power creep possible 100. And if i had to bet, thats where they would like the power creep to end, 100 is just a nice solid number so once its doable for people to top tier play and get to 100 give or take a few. The game will be at a solid state all around. Expnaions will along with it or right soon to follow, that all just makes sense and seems smart business to me.
