There will be no D4.

Have you been living under a rock? it might not be called Diablo 4 but a new Diablo game is being announced @ Blizzcon 2018... 100% sure.

Where is Diablo 4 panel sir ? I can see 1 panel of 45 minute Diablo what's next . Last Diablo panel What's next was in 2014 was ROS release date of 1 Hour. 45 minutes of New IA project seriously ? There will be no D4

You can never rule anything out with Blizzard, and, as I learned 6 years ago, getting too hyped for this franchise is an exercise in frustration, but, it sort of defies logic that Diablo would take center stage for just an expansion or DLC.

That said, if the expansion was really far reaching in scope and dynamics, it might be worthy of the slot, and it may just be that there is just so much less to announce for the other games.

But when you have people talking about an animated series and the panel taking the Mythic stage (after no Diablo info at all last year), and all the job postings for an unannounced Diablo project....it really just screams something new.

My first thought from the Blizzcon schedule: They have more to reveal from Diablo 4 than just an opening cinematic. Lots of empty spaces in the schedule, which are usually kept for the major announcement game. Looking as good as it can be. Showing us gameplay means game drops 2020 for sure.

HYPEEEEE!

That's my thought as well; we should see some type of cinematic plus some gameplay video of whatever they have planned next. And I would not be shocked with an announcement of a D2 remaster as well.

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 agree with you. I just hope they have people in place that see a big future for the franchise.

One of the fears I have for the franchise is the glacial pace of development. Say you started playing D2 as a teenager, when it first started. Well, now, you’re probably in your thirties, and how much longer are you going to stay invested in the “someday”?

im almost 50, started playing D2 in 2001. Started playing WoW in 2006 and that game kept me going because of content updates until D3’came out. But now I’m more or less done with the WoW hamster wheel, and I feel like I can’t be the only one frustrated by the dearth of news on Diablo. the game should have a way more accelerated production time line to help keep the player base engaged.

It would be really exciting to hear some news about a new Diablo game, or even an expansion, although I'd almost like to see an Expansion as more of a retool/revamp at this point; I don't think adding another class would really bring anything exciting to the table, at least not Blizzcon-worthy excitement.

Good morning; just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on what Diablo related news, if any, we might see premiere at Blizzcon. Blizzard is recruiting talent for an undisclosed Diablo project, but of course we don't know how far along they are in development.

I'm optimistic for major news; Blizzard likes milestones, and this being the 20th anniversary of the Diablo series adds some synergy to a sequel announcement, although some may argue some of the events they've had this year constitutes their anniversary plans, which is certainly reasonable.

if it is a sequel, here's hoping they blend the best parts of the series together; D2's loot system and replayability, with D3's great gameplay & QoL.

How about you? What would you like to see at Blizzcon, or in a sequel?

I know everyone hates the "make it like d2" argument, but let's be honest, since blizzard north and brevik didn't create d3, look at what we have. Here's things though that should carry over from d3

• combat-the best out of any arpgs , the animation and smoothness is awesome, well done.
• transmorg or morph, whatever it's called, change the look of your character, that is cool.

thats about all I give d3 credit, what I want to see return, and added.

• dark atmosphere, get rid of the epileptic seizure of lights, I don't give af about all that, you're fighting demons, not unicorns.
• make levels matter, screw paragon, it's a rush to get to 70, so you can actually play. In d1 and d2 I loved that levels mattered, and it was a super long grind to achieve final level. Right now leveling is useless, even paragons are a rush to get 800 so you can boost mainstat.
• items-this correlates with leveling, how cool was it to get a unique at level 40, and still be able to kick ass in the 50's with it. Make the lower tiers be something besides some crap to re-roll, d1 and d2 again had this done right.
• story/lore-make it dark, make it new, hell reboot the 1st story if needed since most kids only played d2. But I didn't feel adventure mode was needed, the story sucked and for a while there was no free roaming, if you recall. Don't give us Disney characters like Magda, aka maleficient. Bring back Cain!
• give each character a stash, but allow a stash that can be accessed by any character.
• item hunt-this makes me play the game, d3 shit all over that quickly. For a moment loot 2.0 was good, then kadala came, cool concept at first, but then it became a joke, same with cube, so easy to get all the gear. Then they went buck wild on sets, killed the game there. Make it awesome to not only level, but get stronger with items, and skills, not just items as it is now.
• skills-I keep thinking about this, builds always get stronger than x, because theory crafters exist. I'm no mathematician but make all skills for each character output the same damage, maybe that could help even out builds? I dunno just throwing ideas out.

thats all I can thinks of right now. TLDR-take the best of all 3 but bring Diablo back to its core, story, loot hunt, and leveling.

i would say trading, but that's a tough one to tackle to stay away from bots. Also, I played since Diablo 1, still my fave btw

Thanks for the advice; I was playing around with some different builds so when you saw my passives they may not have been the right ones for the build; I'll work on the other things and give it a go; thanks again!

So I'm trying to bust GR70, currently at GR62 but dying fairly often. Just switched into Inner Sanctuary to try to combat some of the more dangerous packs, like Arcane groups. Looking for some general tips; I'm running the Inna's/Raiment/Shenlong build, with IS taking the place of DS.

Is there a minimum sheet DPS to shoot for? Currently at about 1.1 million, and I cleared GR62 with 15 seconds left, about 5 deaths.

How about minimum toughness? I am at 43M currently, and only the Arcane packs or charging mobs really hurt me (a well rolled cameo would not be amiss methinks)

Using a well rolled Ouroboros and a band of Rue Chambers; how would these compare to, say, an average Endless Walk setup?

Is there a website that you can enter gear into for comparison, that factors in procs and passives?

Thanks for any help, I appreciate it! Armory Link is here.

If I had to rank them:

Barb, WD, Monk, DH, Crusader, Wizard. I want to like the Wiz more, but I'm not a fan of Archon and I think it's essential to playing them well.

I definitely prefer play your way to meta, as I play almost exclusively solo.

Decided to play Monk for season 10 and I am enjoying it, but we'll see if I break through GR 70 if I'll switch after that.

I started S9 a few weeks late, and I missed Destroyer by 1 (The 6 minute T13 rift), so I am hoping to at least get the stash tab this season. I play at a terribly slow pace, so some of the later timed events are a challenge, so I'm grateful for the non-timed conquests this season. How common is it to reach Guardian anyway?
