Sorry to say but 2.6.1 patch is the final nail in the coffin for D3.
Isn't it fascinating from a pure human observation perspective of how D3 players run the entire gamut? It's no different than how the entire human condition displays itself on a regular basis. I happen to be a Mac user. For whatever reason, that fact alone infuriates some people. Joe Blow says, "Macs are overpriced pieces of sh*t!" Joe's neighbor, however, says: "If you like Macs, great. Whatever works for you." I also happen to eat a ketogenic diet. Another lightning rod for some people. Joe Blow with veins bulging from his neck and pounding his keyboard types furiously..."You're going to kill yourself eating so much fat!" But, my doctor as he is looking at my latest blood test happily tells me, "wow...this is clearly working. Nice job."
So, on the one hand, you have the trolls like Mr. Gonan above who want to simply jump on the dogpile and crap on D3, encouraging all of us that the game is dead. But, then there are the streamers, the developers, the players and mods like Bagstone on sites like this who put in lots of time...people who clearly love the game and are positive. I bought my BlizzCon virtual ticket and enjoyed every minute. No D4 announcements? Who cares? I watched some great high-level WoW arena matches, Starcraft pvp, a Muse concert, and yes, a nice D3 community panel.
I am very excited to begin season 12. Good luck and have fun all season players.
Sellouts like Bloodshed and Rhykker? What about Chainer? Quin? C'mon, dude, I see your point, but the developers are doing literally nothing for the last 1.5 years. Don't even start on this "balance" thing or challenge rifts, it's ridiculous. So many people said that D3 is a shadow of what it should be, but let's be honest here it's a shadow of what it even was. I mean... no offense. The game in maintenance mode, it is dead, not like "zero players" dead, but like "hey, look, +5000%! howboudat, community?" dead. Not like it was "last nail" and all that sentimental bs. Anyway, have fun.

diablo is dead. Its a fun game but it doesn't captivate you like D2 did. Even after so many years playing it obsessively I notice things I didn't see before in that game, and tried builds I haven't tried before.
Diablo 3 you get end game gear and max level in 2 hours.. its boring asF
How about Diablo 3 (RoS) as an (MMORPG) I’d personally
like to see that happen. The game certainly has the
lore & content to make that a reality, but is that very
realistic?
The Diablo 2 team was originally making an isometric MMO of Diablo for 3 until there was a bunch of internal issues, a bunch of people got fired/left, then there was the huge time gap until the team was rebuilt for D3 as we know it today. If you Google it you should be able to find pics still, it was in PC Gamer or IGN or some magazine in like 2011 or some such.
So many emokids here , go and play My Little Pony Adventures 7 Golden Edition or PoE, don`t even come here, you will not change the fact that D3 still rock n rolla, and kick ass any other game of this genre, nothing will change the fact that D3 is the 4th most sold game in the history of the videogames and if you seriously think that is dead either you are deeply delusional or plain mentally challenged. We will get soon 2-3 new classes and in the next 2-3 years a new expansion. Druid class will be prolly the next and announced in november prolly.
The fuck are you necroing the thread almost half year old? The game is not dying, it IS dead, maintenance mode and shit. Same as usual: have some fun for a week or two and move on.

Because it was the most recent thread in its forum (every thread in this forum is last post from 2017) and it's something to talk about. There's so little discussion going on that pretty much any thread would be a necro.
Was also responding to a slightly different topic than the game being dead. Was talking about the MMO aspect as quoted

There we go emokid spotted ^^ , My Little Pony or PoE awaits u, shush go away you and your maintenance vomit nonsense ^^.

95-98% of those people have left the game, making it D E A D.
Me, i play every season, for maybe a week, then im out as its not fun to grind paragon for weeks for tiny upgrades.

It's a good point. But as long as you find enjoyment in something, eh. Play it. I played 2 every day after school for years and mostly all I did was mf farm. I think a big part of it is just having people you like being around and doing stuff with them. Many times even great games feel meh without friends.
I think part of the issue too is "special" gear gets thrown at you from even the lowest difficulty almost immediately, so nothing feels special and everything after has to be even more exponentially out-of-control power-wise to feel like a reward. Some of it is, I think, also failures of aesthetics.
Ok everybody calm their tits. They said there wasn't going to be any new announcements at Blizzcon like a month ago. Still plenty of stuff to do in the upcoming season with all the old builds coming back. Bored with seasons? Go play HC. Still bored? Go play other games and come back when they add something new. Whats the big deal?!
Blizzard has not given up on Diablo, in fact I think this Blizzcon is going to surprise us.
The new wow expansion is already going to be out, So Diablo is the only game that is begging for something new, and I think we will get it, but I don't think it will be an Expansion to Diablo 3, nor do I think it will be Diablo 4, I personally think they ahve been working on a mmo for Diablo.
ya your right...dont plan on seeing anything Starcraft related for a while...Diablo should be up next but i still think its too early for a D4 announcement ...maybe 1 more year before an announcement then 2-3 years after for a release.
I rather them work on D4 then a D3 expansion...even though i enjoyed D3.

Honestly I think SC is up next. SC2 came out before D3, didn't it?
I'm still hoping for a D1/2 remaster for the client :c I guess we kind of got part of that in the D1 January event, which was cool, but :/

That would be so awesome. I hope you are right, Aerisot. I remember a Blizzard Diablo job posting awhile back and a job requirement for that particular job was knowledge of MMO's. So, something very well may be up.
I think I'd rather see the Diablo gameplay and structure in an MMO graphical setting, a la WoW, than a full blown MMO. I like WoW, but I don't really see the point of remaking Diablo into the same type of game.

I think this kind of hybridization was originally the idea for the Diablo III Blizzard North had worked on before the breakup in 2005:
Max Schaeffer: We wanted to make it a bigger... We actually were going a more MMO route with it. So, it had more players in the game. But, we were very early and it’s the point in a project where you don’t talk to the public about it because so much can change and so much can go on. There’s lots and lots of things that go on at game companies that never hit the light of day, because it’s just too early to really sit and things are subject to change all the time. So, we may have changed our own path radically had we kept going with it. But, at the time our thinking was to go more MMO style with it. With big communities in-game, not just like a session-based -- four-person or eight-person -- or anything like that. But, to really make a big overworld and a giant shared community. (Source)
Kevin Martens (speaking about the 2005 version): There's no discussion about a Diablo MMO anymore. It was a really interesting idea back when we were into it, but I think Diablo has a really strong fantasy on its own. Having a thousand people playing it with you on a server doesn't dramatically increase it. We've learned to love the smaller, more focused party experience of four people. And some people are like, 'Why don't you do five?' I mean, we could, but kinda built the game around four people in mind. So the temptation of expanding the social circle has fallen by the wayside as we learned more about what we enjoy about Diablo. (Source)
And I couldn't find our post about it, but Kotaku's old article still has those cool images for reference. I still have the hardcopy magazine where they published it xD

Who cares that the game is "dead". It is still fun in solo and group play and therefore I will play.
