FAQ

Q: What is Reaper of Souls?
Reaper of Souls™ is the upcoming expansion to Blizzard Entertainment’s epic action RPG Diablo® III—a dark and terrifying new chapter in the ongoing conflict over the mortal realm of Sanctuary.

Q: What is the story of Reaper of Souls?
Following the defeat of the Prime Evil by the Nephalem in Diablo III, the mortal realm of Sanctuary should have entered an age of hope and prosperity. Instead, this event has drawn out a shadowy being of immense power, one more sinister than any demon.

Malthael, the fallen Archangel of Wisdom, vanished long ago. In Reaper of Souls, he returns as the Angel of Death and seizes the Black Soulstone, the ancient artifact containing the essence of the Prime Evil. It is now up to the Nephalem to track down Malthael and thwart his plans, a journey that will take them through the legendary city of Westmarch, across the fetid swamps of the Blood Marsh, and into the ancient halls of the Pandemonium Fortress.

Q. What new features can we expect to see in Reaper of Souls?
In addition to expanding the story of Diablo III with an all-new, action-packed Act V and introducing the incorruptible Crusader class, Reaper of Souls increases the game’s level cap to 70. Players forging ahead with their existing Barbarian, Demon Hunter, Monk, Witch Doctor, and Wizard characters will benefit from an array of fearsome new spells and abilities as they advance in level.

The expansion also builds upon several key features of the Diablo franchise, with a greater emphasis on randomized environments, horrific new monsters, epic new quests, and substantial updates to the loot experience. The redesigned loot system in Reaper of Souls focuses on rewarding players with even better treasure through targeted “smart drops,” new and improved multi-level Legendary items, and a third artisan, the Mystic, who can augment an item’s power and appearance.

A new Adventure Mode has been added as well; with all Waypoints unlocked in this mode, the entire world becomes the player’s battlefield! Included in Adventure Mode are two new game features, Bounties, a randomized objective system, and Nephalem Rifts aka Loot Runs, a randomized dungeon system, provide fun and rewarding challenges for players to tackle when they’re looking for new ways to test their might. Diablo III’s Paragon progression system will also be receiving several updates for the expansion, adding even more endgame character advancement and replayability.

Q. What is Adventure Mode?
In Reaper of Souls, players will be able to experience the world of Sanctuary through two different games modes: Campaign Mode and Adventure Mode.
In Campaign Mode, players reprise their pivotal roles as the heroes of Sanctuary in this latest chapter of the continuing Diablo saga. All quests, cut-scenes, in-game movies, and NPC dialogue will be available and progression is intentionally linear. Campaign Mode is very similar to how Diablo III plays currently.

Adventure Mode is Diablo III’s new sandbox mode, where players have the freedom to explore and play the game however they like. All waypoints are now unlocked, soplayers can go where they want, when they want. The waypoint list has been replaced with a waypoint map, a metaphor for the world that serves as a guide for Bounties and a checklist of completed gameplay options. The world is literally your battlefield! Adventure Mode also includes the aforementioned Bounties and Nephalem Rifts.

Q: Can you give us more background on Malthael?
Quiet and elusive, Malthael was an enigma even to his own kind. In the years following the destruction of the Worldstone, this revered member of the Angiris Council grew increasingly distant and withdrawn, prone to long periods of isolation. Malthael’s eventual disappearance led to his transformation into the Angel of Death—a cataclysmic threat to the people of Sanctuary.

Q: What can you tell us about the new class: the Crusader? Will the Crusader be available to all players?
Crusaders are righteous warriors who have been hardened through relentless, brutal combat with the foul evils plaguing eastern Sanctuary. In addition to wearing immensely heavy armor and wielding a wide range of cruel and punishing weapons, this new playable class uses battle magic to strengthen allies and weaken foes. A natural walking tank with a plethora of mid-range melee abilities, the Crusader adds power and versatility to any party of adventurers.

The Crusader class will only be available to players who purchase the expansion.

Q. Have any changes been made to the difficulty scaling or settings in Reaper of Souls?
In Reaper of Souls, the game difficulty settings have been updated to Easy, Normal, Hard, Torment, Demonic and Apocalypse. Similar to the way the tiered settings and Monster Power work in Diablo III, higher difficulty levels present more powerful enemies who will potentially reward players with more powerful loot! Unlike the previous tiered difficulty system, though, players are not required to defeat the game on a lower setting in order to unlock a higher difficulty setting. These settings can be selected at any time, for both Campaign Mode and Adventure Mode, making it more convenient than ever to find the level of challenge that’s right for you!

Q. How does the new Paragon system work? Will the new Paragon system be available to all players?
We’ve made three significant changes to the Paragon system:

There is no cap on Paragon levels. Players can now earn as many Paragon levels as they please.
Paragon levels are now account-wide per game type. Normal characters on an account will share a Paragon level. Similarly, all Hardcore characters on an account will share a Paragon level. Any Paragon experience you gain on your Normal or Hardcore characters will contribute to your account’s “Normal Paragon level” or “Hardcore Paragon level.”
Players will now earn Paragon Points each time they level up. These points can then be spent to boost up various stats in four different categories: Core Stats, Offensive, Defensive, and Adventure. All characters on your account have their own version of the allocated points, which can be reallocated at any time.

These changes are intended to be released as part of a pre-expansion patch and will be made available to all players.

Q: Will there be an auction house in Reaper of Souls?
A: The gold and real-money auctions house will be removed from Diablo III on March 18, 2014 and will not appear in Reaper of Souls.

Q. Will players who have Reaper of Souls still be able to play with people who don’t?
Currently, yes; however, Act V will not be available to players who haven’t purchased the expansion.

Q. Will there be a beta for Reaper of Souls?
A: We don’t have any details to share at this time.

Q. When is Reaper of Souls going to be released?
A: We aren’t ready to confirm a launch date at this time.

Q. What’s the price for Reaper of Souls? Will there be a Collector’s Edition for Reaper of Souls?
A: We aren’t ready to confirm the price or the availability of a Collector’s Edition at this time.

Q. What languages will Reaper of Souls be available in?
A: At release the game will be fully localized into English, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, European Spanish, Italian, Polish, Russian, Korean, and Traditional Chinese for Windows, and English, French, and German for Mac.

Q. Will Reaper of Souls still be rated M (Mature)?
A: We haven’t submitted for a rating yet. We’ll share more information about our global ratings once they are officially set.

Diablo should not have an "Easy" mode. That's just....wrong.

Quote from Mayne

Agree. "Easy" and "hard" does not fit. You can do better, Blizzard!

I agree that the names could be a bit more creative. Miles, you were probably on the right track, I can agree with doing it Normal, Nightmare, Hell, then the new ones...

Then again, even if "Easy" sounds too tame, according to what the post says, you don't have to play on Easy. You can start a Crusader on Torment if you like. See how you fare, ;-)

I'll probably start my Crusader on Hard just out of stubbornness, especially with pargon 2.0.

Like I've said in other threads, I acknowledge that's it's not THAT big of a deal. Who cares about the difficulty format or names, as long as the game is fun?

I'm just the kind of person that lets those little, insignificant things bug me the most. I'll get over it once I can get my hands on the game.

Ah! There we go...

Unlike the previous tiered difficulty system, though, players are not required to defeat the game on a lower setting in order to unlock a higher difficulty setting.

This is one of the things I was saying in my post from a few weeks ago. That they should let people play on any difficulty they choose, instead of requiring each difficulty to be played through individually. This way, players have more ways to customize the difficulty to how they want, and 3 additional difficulty settings than they had in the past...BUT they don't HAVE TO play through the entire game four whole times in order to unlock all the areas.

Very smart move. I like it, :-)

What can I say man, you called it.

I still think it's pointless change for the sake of change, but at least now the debates can end.

Only a slight degree, that's why I didn't pull the whole quote. Wasn't my idea, I just hinted on a tiny piece.

I was anticipating them keeping Monster Power, as an extra additional aspect of tuning difficulty, though if they're going to make it a six difficulty system, a ten tier system to fine tune seems like a lot. Plus, and I think this is key...

With six difficulty settings, it tends to offer more incentive for players to push themselves to a harder setting. With 10 Monster Power levels, people are more likely to find their "sweet spot". Like my Monk's sweet spot is MP7...he dies a little bit here and there, but for the most part, grinding and farming isn't stupidly frustrating and is very profitable. With fewer tiers of difficulty, I may have to sustain on a level that's a bit too easy for a bit, but that higher tier is still out there.

Meanwhile, it's more than only 3 that D1 and D2 had, where I could wallow forever in Nightmare and never get the items I'd need for Hell difficulty.

The FAQ states "Similar to the way the tiered settings and Monster Power work in Diablo III, higher difficulty levels present more powerful enemies who will potentially reward players with more powerful loot! Unlike the previous tiered difficulty system, though, players are not required to defeat the game on a lower setting in order to unlock a higher difficulty setting." This seems to imply that the new system will replace the current Normal, Nightmare, Hell, and Inferno modes, as well as the Monster Power system. This would mean refining what was previously 40 selectable difficulties into just 6.

Quote from trocadero_fuerte

*creates level 1 Crusader*
*jumps into pulbic Inferno game*

But seriously, are "character levels" going away? You get one main up in Paragon, say, level 80, and now all of your character can just completely skip to end game gear/modes?

Well, if that's true (I doubt it is), then HELL YES! Leveling is a pox, a plague on gaming today, a time wasting hamster wheel that prevents people from playing and having fun. They learned this w/ the new WoW expac, they should learn that lesson for Diablo.

So while a brand new Level 1 character will likely not be "end game" strength, they will be able to hit the ground running with additional Core Stats, reduced cooldowns, a boost to Crit Chance and Dodge, higher MF, etc.

No they wont. They wont get access to the account wide paragon bonuses until they hit lv 70.

They actually do, new characters can allocated Paragon Points directly from Level 1.

But if they choose not to they're not forced to.

I'm still waiting for a pet class where the pets are beefy and powerful and deal 90% of the damage for the character. Some mite think this now so fun... But to me. I want this. I want my pets to distory everything for me and I sit in the background casting enhancement spells on them that only last a few seconds but give them the damage boosts or allow them fire damage. Spells like this could also be casted on other characters would be an intersting character I think... Anyway I want a class like that... I know the new class that is coming out will be cool but I feel the Barb did good enough job at being a Physical class with Magic abilities.

I'm sure not many will aggree with me on this but its what I would like to see...

I would like to see it again, but not quite to the extent that the necro was in D2. Whether they bring back the necro or allow the WD to spec into it, I'd like to see pets have the option to be a much larger portion of your damage. Maybe 40-50% instead of 90%.

omg no one asked eta for loot 2.0

Pretty sure Loot 2.0 comes with the game's launch or when they shut down the AH.

Both of course could be on the same day.

Quote from miles_dryden

Difficulties are revamped: Now are Easy, Normal, Hard, Torment, Demonic, Apocalypse

Sigh...such pointless name changing. What was wrong with Nightmare and Hell?

These are the new names for the MP level replacements, not the difficulty modes. I'm actually under the impression there is no longer any actual difficulty modes like before. And it's all just one mode with multiple MP levels (these new names) that unlock with level.

Even so, they could have kept it as, for example: Normal, Nightmare, Hell, Inferno, Torment, Apocalypse. (Not a fan of "demonic", that's too generic in a game that's all about demons to begin with.)

My point is they are changing something that didn't need to be changed. Change the format if you must, but why change the names?

Diablo should not have an "Easy" mode. That's just....wrong.

Have you ever heard the expression "to call a spade a spade"? Because easy mode is just what MP0 is.

I had a hunch they would change how the difficulties work because a new act would break the current level flow. Not only that, but how powerful would Act 1 Nightmare monsters be, if you can go there after Act 4 Normal (no-expansion) and Act 5 Normal (expansion) and the two guys can play together.
If they want to keep the "Farm at any place, it's all the same difficulty" of the current Inferno, there's certainly two difficulties that distribute makes the whole game the same level. One makes everything lv63 (current Inferno), another makes everything lv70/73 (expansion's Inferno).

The current difficulties level ranges range are 1-30, 30-50 and 50-60. The normal one shouldn't be changing, other than the end-point due to act 5, but for compatibility with no-expansion people, let's ignore it. There's a need of at least one more difficulty to fill the 30-60 gap, possibly 2. And I'm not touching on the 60-70 gap. Just level on inferno? No idea.
There's also the console version to consider. We have Easy, Normal and Hard there.

With all that considered, these new difficulties seems plausible and interesting, but we'll need more confirmation to be sure of anything.
Oh, for names, they may be using all-new names to avoid translation name clashes (Hell and Inferno means the same in Portuguese for example.), and names changing meaning.
If you're breaking the "Normal then Nightmare then Hell" tradition, you may as well break the naming tradition.

They could have just changed the level curve per difficulty to 1-35, 35-55, 55-70. For people already at level cap, they would need to use act 5 Hell to catch up before moving back to level 70 inferno. A lot less work than redoing the entire level up experience.

Not that it matters now, but its not nearly as big a deal as you make it out to be.

If you're breaking the "Normal then Nightmare then Hell" tradition, you may as well break the naming tradition.

Two wrongs dont make a right.

Wait.... whaaaat?

OK, so I'm already playing "Starter Edition" only. Let's assume that I'll buy "Diablo III" and "Reaper of Souls" at the same time. Then upgrade the game to the full version. Then upgrade the game to "Reaper of Souls" level. OK, so how I'm supposed to get all the Nightmare, Hell and Inferno related achievements, if classic difficulties are gone?!

Achievements related specifically to the current difficulty modes will become feats of strength. They won't be in the standard list and won't count toward your achievement total anymore.

Also, nice avatar
