I just hope the art style for the new game is gritty and morbid. D3 kinda feels cartoony in art direction so even the gory parts look like Itchy and Scratchy

Would be cool if they opened up D3 to modding after they announce D4. Keep base game pure but allow people to mod it for single player and private games. This would go along way to improving dynamic between players and devs. To be honest I don't expect them to be that cool but who knows, nothing will surprise me at this point.

Hi,
Can you show us the gems upgrade screen ? How much gold to remove marquise and higher tier gems from weapons and armor. Thanks in advance.

So is this the patch that was posted yesterday ? If yes, are all those "text strings" enabled like guilds/ladder ?!

The twitch chat doesn't work for me so i'll ask here. With the auction house gone, what is the gold good for now?

Are there any plans to improve your Net Code? So it won't be Lagmageddon when there's a lot happening on screen?
Don't blame blizzard for your GPU not cutting it. If frame rates drop due to a lot happening on screen... that means your computer isn't rendering it fast enough... not that the servers cannot calculate fast enough.

If it was supposed to be realistic, the DH would be the best character. In D3 duels, the DH is almost impossible to beat with the legacy Nats set.

Umm... WTF are you talking about? The leak was 99% correct and the other 1% was future conjecture which may or may not happen. If this leak was a Mega Millions lottery ticket it would have hit all 5 numbers plus the golden ball.

Wait, how do the Amazons procreate then? Maybe there are males, locked away and only used for snu-snu.

Gaming is moving to a "service" platform. This will be the new standard, even indie developers are adopting this model. It's not inherently bad, just that certain companies take it to the extreme and that has left a bad taste in many peoples mouths. I actually don't want the expansion model because that means very long periods of no new content, then a massive dump of it, followed by another drought. Microtransactions allow for constant updates that keep a game fresh; POE, Fortnite, etc.
Just look at how D3 was handled. They basically spent years "fixing" the game and when they felt it was in a good place it was essentially abandoned. Why? because they had no reoccurring revenue stream to justify dropping substantial content updates. The biggest thing we got was the Necro. Remember that game developers get paid on average $100k a year and there are often dozens or so maintaining a game. Just imagine the cost. It's not a smart or a sustaining business model to put millions in a game that generates no money for you.
I do think that D4 could go FTP and be successful but remember they have to answer to shareholders and they don't want to hear about the long road to profitability. They want sales numbers. Sad but look at what happened to HotS. Hearthstone was a side project, with a tiny team that blew up like the Hindenburg. D4 is massive in comparison; probably end up costing the company 100's of millions to produce and market.
As long as the game you love is being supported does it matter that they have cosmetic items for sale? Not to me.

"Paladin, Barbarian, Sorcerer, Amazon and Druid are planned for launch with more coming later. Blizzard wants people to feel like this is Diablo II all over again but in a completely new era of the franchise. Blizzard were also debating whether to include the Druid or Necromancer class at launch of Diablo IV. Blizzard decided put the Druid for launch of Diablo IV and Necromancer for later, since the Necromancer was released already for Diablo III."
The leak is over 4 months old at the time of this threads creation 11/6/2019
Besides the Necromancer these classes seem to be the most requested on the official forum (d3) so good news.
What are your thoughts?

The CoD that just came out is cross-play; Playstation, Xbox, and PC all play together. So.....

Ya a Battlefield style Starcraft would have been cool in my eyes. Too bad.

Just open the game up for modders and private lobbies and you'll have infinite replay-ability imo.
All that you listed could be done by the community if Blizz let the tiger out of the cage.
