I have mixed emotions on this years Blizzcon. Yes, I'm most definitely excited about the Necro class coming but completely crushed that it isn't coming by way of expansion. Let me explain why. Coming as a simple character pack will only give me about 1-3 months of semi new content. After that first season with the Necro then its right back to the same old thing. If, however, they went with an xpac to release the Necro we would most likely have received a new act and a bump to 80 level cap. For me that's up 7 seasons of new content, by rotating out classes each season, trying out w/e new skill they could have added for each class and grinding out all the higher level gear for each. If you look at it like this, which is really more appealing to you for your money?

Don't get me wrong. I will most likely be getting the Necro Pack as long as the price point seems reasonable for what it really is we will be getting.

Micro-transactions: I completely disagree with you on this point though. While, yes, $10 for wings and such is high end, I think plenty of people out there would gladly piss away $5 for such items. There are farming communities in game for all these transmogs and wings now. It wouldn't hurt for them to atleast stick their foot in the water and see what it's like.

If 8-9 months isn't a stupidly long wait to you, then I'd hate to see what is.

I really don't understand the adding of the anniversary event tbh. This is something that I can't see most players doing more than 1 time just to get the rewards and be done with it. If it wasn't for the rewards, trivial as they are, I wouldn't even bother with it. Let alone revisit it every January.

When this thread started over a year ago, I immediately thought that this fan made creation was really Blizz doing their "extensive market research". I still think that this was a Blizz dev posting this and fully expect the Druid to come soon after.

Reward is the same tbh... if you feel that as HC player, you are not rewarded properly, WHY still playing hard core mode? Switch to Soft core mode.

BTW, as far as I remember, when starting HC character, you get warning that its a permadeath mode (you die, you lose the character), so choice is yours - REWARD is SAME for SC and HC

Not complaining about it, just a strange concept to give a reward for doing nothing.

Finish it without dying gives you another gem upgrade chance? Pffftttt reward further the softcore easy mode whilst those of us that prefer hardcore get no reward...how is that fair?

??? You'll also get the extra roll in HC...

Aye but its a reward for doing nothing that we are not doing already! Not dying!

It's still a reward. It would be unfair to not get the bonus roll at all. Getting the same as SC players is not unfair.

True...but they reward HC players for doing nothing different whilst they are rewarding SC players for actually trying to not die...strange concept to reward a HC player for doing nothing different.

I still have a slight glimmer of hope left. Only because the guy that was talking about the Diablo stuff during the opening ceremony just seemed like he was trolling us. The way he talked about the D1 dungeon being added and how they did extensive market research on what we wanted, so they are giving us the Necro. However, that little glimmer of hope will be snuffed out if nothing is said at todays Dev talk Q and A.

My thoughts exactly. That artwork release was no mistake.

Imagine dropping a legendary on the ground and casting Iron Golem on it. Up rises your golem with the legendary power of that item.
