so much doomsaying.

there will be a diablo announcement at BLIZZCON, not at some gamescom.. this is big deal, and big deal is for blizzcon. nough said. be patient and hold your horses.

You do realize that Reaper of Souls was NOT announced at Blizzcon but at Gamescom...there is no rule as to when news is announced...

1-it is anniversary for diablo.
2-if we are to see a new diablo game, it will have a big announcement event like evey other diablo games had before. they need big hype for the big game.
3-its been quite a long time since diablo occupied a big stage.
4-d3 is hard to fix from this point. RoS did a good job at turning a shit-tier game to an enjoyable game, but i think this is all they can do at this point. main material has unchangeable flaws, so it doesnt have any big undiscovered potential left in it to make a second expension from it. it doesnt have that much of a rich content to allow big kinds of upgrades. besides, d3 damaged blizzards reputation really bad with its false advertising(such as promise of PvP) so all those together leads one logical thing: blizzard will not waste any more time on d3, and try to make a clean start with a next diablo game, aiming to be "excellent" from the very beginning.

my conclusion: it will be a brand new diablo game, and it will be announced only at blizzcon, with a very big event to celebrate it.

diablo 3 doesnt deserve another expansion.

its 2016 and still we dont see anything post-diablo3.

i have 1000+ gameplay hours and i am really, REALLY bored of it now. despite all those new patches, diablo3 still feels wierd/wrong to me. every friend of mine has the same thpughts as me: we want a new proper diablo game.

d3 did sell well, soooo whats wrong? i dont get it. why blizzard doesnt care about diablo universe?

im just really angry. sorry to take your time, but i had to get this out of my chest. i dont want to wait another 10+ years.

last night i saw a youtube video where 8 paladins run a new hardcore d2 playthrough. they played till the last man die. it was so cool. somehow d3 never triggered that kind of excitement in me.

maybe because leveling is boring in diablo 3.

maybe because diablo 3 never suprises with its encounters and difficulty always stays same.

maybe because running 8 players acctually works in diablo 2.

maybe because diablo 3 is too much fast paced to allow group to run together.

i honestly cant tell exact reason/reasons. last time i did a similair thing, it was the time of d3 vanilla where everything was super damn hard... after that i was in a public game in s3 because of loot, but it was souless.

i dont think i ll go public anytime soon.

a big space for diablo unannounced project, not an expension entirely new game. theres lots of hints for that...

since when number of using a specific word makes the content more relevant?

i talked about those things aswell because they are deeply connected with paragon leveling, from very birth to this state. you cant discuss it without knowing why, when and how... without remembering what was the main question!

end game. thats where all things are getting very problematic. paragon system is not healty therefore its not bringing anything usefull to the table. it doesnt give any fresh breathe to the game, it doesnt add any fun, and it doesnt offer any option at all... its just some flat bonuses, some more numbers to overcome more numbers without any kind of skill involvement in it. nothing changes towards gameplay by those paragon points.

hell, it doesnt even add a meaningfull progression feeling. after paragon 300, its just damn stupid stat boost.

overall its a big wrong answer for end game problems.

@lowfidelity
are you kidding me? read it before calling it offtopic. i am talking about paragon leveling.

this game, in this state, is a prisoner of its own. some players(esspecially todays players) love PvP(not PvE), challange, competative playstyle. id like to remind you guys this very important matter. im not saying we should turn this game to some sort of MOBA, but this is undeniable -and naturally expected-. why? because we arent living on an age of single player where we can be just happy and satisfied againts A.I enemies. as long as A.I doesnt develop itself to become very human-like, this will stay as this way. do you hear me blizzard?! YOU CANT IGNORE THIS FOREVER! ehem, anyway.

i know its a big old topic, and i know some of you have a point by saying "diablo isnt about PvP", but alternate of allowing PvP, is going through setting a real deal competative gameplay... otherwise most players will lose interest and see no meaning/fun to play anymore then a week after every season start.

blizzard should deciede what they will do about this situation. they ignored this for years and it clearly made no good. anyway, there are 2 options:

1-make players compete each other directly by introducing a solid PvP arena system.
-OR-
2-make players compete each other indirectly by a solid skill based ladder system.

as it seems, blizzard leaning towards option 2, but paragon level grinding is a big obstacle on this way. it should be nerfed heavyly or be capped at a reasonable number... if blizz dont do any of those, we will see return of bots no matter how hard ban hammer hit them... along with some small percentage of players trying to compete with them.

my all friends abonded this game long ago, and some of them were hardcore fans of d1 & d2.... i am about to abonden it too, because of those reasons i said up there... oh man, blizzard really dissapoints me nowadays... so slow, so incapable of leading its own games... someone please insert *just do it!* meme here.

edit: i could add "giving promise about pvp" but at this point i dont even care promises anymore. i just want diablo to be alive. thats why i make my self loud within forums now, after all these years. i almost feel like im in for the last call and i need to yell everyone before everything ends! pff!
