With all this soulbound madness...I just wish the stash was bigger. like, a lot bigger.
If they stick to the BoA idea and keep drop rates as high as they say, there is no way they can keep the stash that small. I'd buy a second copy of D3 just for additional stash in that case. Hate to throw things away.

And some more VODs. I know there's more streamers and also Youtubers who uploaded their reactions; if you have anything please share, let's create a collection of links! Preferably mirrors that will not disappear after a while, like the Twitch VODs (I hope many of them will mirror those on Youtube).

They asked this in the press conference, and the said they plan to support controllers on PC:

I think they might be aware of it, they also mentioned how they don't want too colorful spell effects - and then the gameplay had lots of visuals going on, in a full party it might be like PoE (which sometimes becomes a crazy clusterfuck with a million colors and effects). I hope they turn it down. It might also have something to do with console compatibility, highlighting selected monsters.
Whatever it is, I agree with you that it should be turned down, in general - less is more. Even in this demo of one players vs a few monsters it was sometimes a lot of visual clutter. Diablo I, admittedly in a different era of PC gaming, had almost none of that.
You also mention sound which I've stressed in multiple places today is really important. I have no idea what the sound in D4 is gonna be like though, haven't really paid attention to the demo sound and it's only one zone anyways.

Added a couple more links - if anyone has other VODs or so post them here!

Just posting this here:

This game is so so so so so far from finished. Just bring forward your criticism constructively. As you might have seen on the public forums, they will provide quarterly updates. And they really seem to listen. The game right now looks to me like early D3 screenshots. So much can (and will) change!

Oh good to know! I thought only the live panel was free, not the VOD. Changed!

Okay, I'm gonna retire this thread
Made a new one here:
https://www.diablofans.com/forums/diablo-forums/diablo-iv-return-to-darkness/239696-diablo-iv-return-to-darkness-announcement-link
Also renamed the forum since it's not an unannounced project anymore!

Didn't see a thread yet For now people probably have enough hype threads and obviously the front page is going to cover everything for this weekend. But over time, we'll have a long time ahead of us, so I'll (infrequently) update this with links to major content (maybe for now just add a lot of different stuff and sort it out later). Feel free to post any links and we'll sort it out.

Official Blizzard stuff
Streamers/Youtubers
(some with dev interviews and additional Youtube content/mirrors):

Yeah, this was posted elsewhere earlier, but thanks for the picture. It's an ad in Gamestar, right?
For those who can't read German and want to know - it's a full-page ad in a German monthly game magazine (most likely Gamestar) for the post-Blizzcon release of a Diablo artwork book. The part in red simply says "With over 500 artworks from Diablo, Diablo II, Diablo III, and Diablo IV this book presents various remarkable pieces of art that were created for the iconic ARPG of Blizzard Entertainment."

Just a heads-up, people: if a new user account bumps an old topic, it's 99.9% of the time a bot. After a week or so they'll edit the response to include some shady links. The post looks sort of on point and Diablo-esque, but has some weird language in it.
I've deleted the post (to be clear, Kallizk was *not* the one I was talking about - the spam post who bumped this is gone!) but I'm gonna lock this. Please if you see a necro just report it and let it go, the mods will take care of it; especially if the necro comes from a brand new account.

It's not about numbers. Sure, getting the right rolls on items (like all resist or armor, vitality, and so on) are important as well, but GR tiers aren't about those numbers at all. It's more about your gear, gems, gem levels, paragon, your build, ... so many things. It also varies extremely by class/build - many builds are just extremely squishy, and at a certain GR tier *all* builds are squishy. For speed rifting, people go full glass canon and just try to kill stuff before it even reaches you (e.g., multishot DH is the best example here).

I saw this yesterday and was gonna say "it's weekend now, we'll have to wait til Monday" but if what you say is true, huertgenwald, I'll yield that comment ;-) I've brought it up, let's hope it can be fixed.
If there's other issues that have been there for a looooooooooooooooooong time please bring them up, they might not be on the radar of the dev team since obviously there have been some changes this year

Good point. What also adds to it is the Forgotten Souls drop from rift guardians, and all the Forgotten Souls you get from goblins and caches and so on. It's really not 1 FS = 1 legendary looted, it's much less.
Also, the question is when you cleared GR70 to unlock primals, so a chunk of those legendaries are from before that. All those things combine reduce the number. You're still unlucky, but not unreasonably unlucky. That being said, there's tons of people who are higher paragon and are not wearing a single primal. It's so rare to find a usable, well-rolled primal.

You're either exaggerating your numbers and/or extremely unlucky.
The chance for primals is roughly 0.25% (on average, one in 400 legendaries is a primal).
