Wyatt Chang has already said the Necro was the big announcement they had sooooooo yea RiP
Depends on what they're planning to do with the two new zones. I mean, I don't think there is much to build off of unless they overhaul something (Paragon), but it might prove to be the hidden gem of experience in their patches.
I think the issue with the Diablo 3 design and system is that there is no revenue stream for Blizzard to invest much resources into. Even though I am a bit disappointed that there is no new expansion, with the Necro 2017 class package which you can later buy in 2017 may be a paradigm shift in the Diablo franchise to align, and modernize, with Blizzard's other revenue generating systems/games. We should be anticipating small packages like this the future in getting more zones and more new class packages to purchase just like all other Blizzard games that generates continued revenue for the company. Not a terrible shift, but it will get more players back into the community if content can be delivered every few quarters.
What they just did was showed us how they are going to generate ongoing revenue.
Many of the current systems in the game, including the major ones associated with ROS were all launched as a content patch. Most of the large changes associated with ROS came with 2.0 before hand, as a pre-expansion patch. There is no reason to think that overhauls of some things that both you won't get addressed in some future patch. This pretty much just tells us they are no longer going for the "one large" purchase method, and are opting to have us pay for some things (a new class) to fund ongoing development.
I'd give it some time before you doom and gloom completely.
diablo got no love.. AGAIN. im so done with blizzard. they can keep bringing countless xpacs to wow for eternity, i dont give a single damn about those games. i love diablo but blizzard been too lazy for too long. im very disappointed.
good thing though.. i will not be disappointed again since i will boycott blizzard from now on. no hopes no disappointments.

Wait, they pump out a variety of expansions for various games, but the single one you (and I) care about turns them immediately lazy? Seems a bit over-reactive to you, bud?
And nobody even mentions the free Diablo 1 remake. It's just "all we got was necromancer!"
Pathetic.
If you hate Diablo 3 so much, find another game to play. That's what I did.
its not a diablo 1 remake. Its a anniversary event. It last for one month and you will play it like once and be done with it, just like the molten core 40 man raid a little while back. So yeah, a necro is more or less the only crap we got
@blacknemesist
please remain here so i will remember what new generation of blizz fanboys look like. this gives me more reasons to not return again.
I'm 32 years old small man. And it is not fanboyism, its loyalty to a company that always provided me with over 15 years of gaming, support and honesty. If you have a problem go back to your LOL or your halfassed games that have been dropped support long ago and any update that comes is to sell you stuff that adds nothing but cosmetics to the game instead of making the game actually...you know...progress!Bye. You will not be missed, noone misses the ungrateful whining kids.
And FYI, WoW costs you $13 monthly, so they have alot of reasons to push more and more content to keep players paying, what about Diablo? You bought the game and after that how much content were you given for free? How much more is coming? Ah... I though so. I respect the announcement meaning nothing to the player but to bash them for free content out of their own pockets to try and please fans that will never have to drop a cent on the game... as a developer myself, it is insulting. At least respect their effort even if it does nothing for you.
Diablo 3 is the best-selling Blizzard game of all time. If you think a 3 year content drought while Blizzard hemorrhages talented developers isn't a major disappointment, then fuck help you because nobody else can.
This is the biggest bullcrap.
Diablo 3 is paragon.
Play Mario Bros u will enjoy it more.
"Diablo 3 is paragon" is exactly the problem with the paragon system, it is so overtuned that it moots every other aspect of the game. Turns the game into a race to see who can waste the most time farming paragon every 3 months.
And nobody even mentions the free Diablo 1 remake. It's just "all we got was necromancer!"
Pathetic.

Just to clear this up, the January Tristram event is for the entire month of January, EVERY January, for the rest of time. It's a permanent yearly event.

Yes, but it won't be something you will play much. We needed a new expansion. New gameplay elements. Something with as big impact as adventure mode and rifts where to RoS.
For those who don't get why people are complaining about the announcements so far clearly you are both not very smart and aren't a big Diablo player specially Diablo 3 because...anyone can tell you that unless the next coming patch which 2.4.3? Are you fucking serious? If it's not loaded with balancing and tweaking as this game still seriously needs it to make the rest of the sets worth half a fuck an and the whole LoN concept a thing, this game is done even more so. Everyone's basically played any build they wanted to by now which are builds they offer, yes, they offer which is another major core issue with this game that being sets buff specific skills only so it's the devs laying out your play style for you. But everyone's done what they wanted to for the most part so....adding new shit to this fixes nothing, necro , new area, a temporary Diablo 1 thing is meaningless and hypes nothing being that it's going to be dropped into a game that's filled with drab gameplay which as I said has nothing left to really explore or satisfy your curiosity and a horribly boring end game. Until at least the rest of the sets are viable, the "return" they're hoping for will leave them knowing they fucked up aside from hearing from us over the last two seasons voicing or frustrations. Fuck endless paragon grind for mainstat only, fuck no caps on grs you never feel like you're doing good enough, fuck getting to level 70 so fast, they might as well start you there and your set in a few hours at most so all that's left is to find those other few pieces of gear which you have to have in order to do 20billion damage per hit and you find the first weekend of a new season. There's next to no rng or excitement to hunt for anything in this game. The entire core anticipation of an Arpg barely exists in this game. It's basically an Arpg for kids. There we go..Diablo 3 is the hack and slash overhead view Arpg whatever you wanna call it...for kids, spread it around.
about what i expected from today. might get some small stuff tomorrow. they are likely working on a new diablo project, but it isnt ready to announce. theyve been hiring for diablo, and since they didnt announce today, i would guess its a large scale project like d4.

I was hoping for ultra new diablo 4 engine to be announced ... we get old class from before , which is behind pay wall

Even the necromancer won't be able to revive such a dead game.
