I've missed the monetization part, but I doubt it'd be anything further than cosmetics.
Also the game is not even in alpha. I doubt we'll see it sooner than 3 yrs, many things can and will change by then.
So I don't see why you think this is all to it. Also you miss the part that it has different skills system and talents.
It is nothing innovative that's for sure, but I'd prefer something that fits everything that is proven good and enjoyable than some experiments like they did with D3 vanilla.

Look, I’m not saying the game looks bad. I’m saying it looks good.. it’s just annoying that blizzard should’ve had this game out as D3 in the first place. It shouldn’t of taken over 20 years to get to this point. The darker themes, PVP. Skill trees , ect. Should’ve all been in D3. And since the graphics aren’t improved at all, this game looks like it literally should’ve been the real D3.

I understand what you mean. But look at it this way: they've got a lot of information by failing with D3, that way they've been able to put these things that you feel like should've been already there in D4. It is really objective, If they knew all this I'm pretty sure you would've had the D3 you're talking about.

Game is really behind in development and for me looks like D3 with a new engine, graphics-wise.
But for me gameplay and features are more important than graphics, so i seriously don't get why would you complain about that.
Also being an open world and seemingly able to hold more players at one place it is a good thing that the game can be run on higher range of PCs.

So after gamescom I am starting to think that they will announce on Blizzcon D2HD and DIablo 3 turns free to play with classes and other stuff released as DLC in the store.

It has to be D2 HD and classes or expansion for D3. Why would they put the shop in D3 if they are gonna just abandon it to make D4?

They will release something new diablo related, it is not like they didn't know when the 20th anniversary of the game is going to be...

Only 24 hrs left just have patience.

If they are working on D2 HD/Remaster they might as well let D3 die. It really is strange to make 2 of their games compete, not to mention that I really doubt people care that much about better graphics.

And..... his computer is burning

Facepalm to the people who dont understand what a ladder system is ...

Saying: "omg i hope they dont add ladder" is like a softcore player saying: "omg i hope they dont add hardcore".

Its just another game mode...

Not to mention that i don't mind if PvP isn't balanced it would just be a cool feature.

No offense, but I have heard people say that before. And then 6 months later they are yelling about how X class is so OP compared to Y class. How badly PvP is broken. How Blizzard screwed it all up. Seriously, would you as a developer want to deal with that day in and day out?

Regardless, I would be glad to see ladders released so people can focus on asking for other features in the game.

Me too. I hope they release ladders, so that more people start supporting us PvPers. I do not want Blizzard to get away with this. They baited with nice PvP, then they didn't deliver.

what do ladders have to do with PvP? there weren't any pvp ladders, the only thing ladders tracked was experience gained

Can someone explain how ladders work in D2, because I am not aware.

Every so often ( 6 months? Can't remember exactly ) Blizzard would reset the ladders, and start a new season. What you'd do is you would create a character, and just like hitting the hardcore checkbox in D3, you'd check off 'ladder' when creating your new character. What this did, at the start of every new season, is create a separate ladder community where everyone had to create new characters to play in, thus meaning they were starting off fresh, no gear, no gold and they can't interact with non ladder characters. It was a race to see who could get to level 99 the fastest (broken down class by class), and there were a few other distinctions between ladder and non ladder;

Ladder only items; Blizzard would create runeword items that could only be created in ladder. When the reset happens, your character that was in ladder was xfered to non ladder, but you got to keep all your items that you have earned, and you could trade these ladder only items off into non ladder.

Difficulty. Correct me if I'm wrong since I'm going off of memory, but as I recall, monster difficulty was increased slightly in ladder, just because =D
