I kinda hope they'll announce a new Diablo. And hope they don't fuck it up this time.
You DO realize they fixed everything that was wrong with D3 a long, loooong time ago right? I'm actually surprised people are still on about that...
I wouldnt call endless rift grinding "fixed", the loot system blows and none of the builds feel unique anymore. they need to get rid of the training wheels again.
I agree with Zumwanna, they may have fixed D3 from the crap it initially was, but it's not the same type of game as D2 at all. D3 is for people who want D2 experience but their ADHD prevents them from playing videogames for more than 5 minutes at a time.
I had the Blizzcon virtual ticket and I really liked the whole show but I would like to receive better virtual goodies, not an undustable golden version of a card I got anyway (don't mind that it is undustable only that it is something not everyone else has)
They can't make an exclusive card that only some people can get. Everyone needs to be able to get every card in the game otherwise it would be unfair if the card turns out to be good or playable. Exclusive golden version of an existing card and exclusive card back is pretty much all they can do since it doesn't affect the gameplay and it's only aesthetic. They could make a hero portait for a class, but that's the most they can do tbh.
I would make an old promotion card available: Captain's Parrot, Old Murk-Eye, Goblin Mekkatorque (I'm not sure if this was a promo card) or ETC. I don't think that everyone can obtain the Parrot in-game nor the Murk-Eye (since they removed them by having all evergreen pirates/murlocs)
You do realize that you can just craft those cards? They're available in Wild and the most you could do with what you said is getting golden ETC or Mekkatorque since they can't be crafted golden which comes back to what I said earlier.
woo only 7 months away
Here we go.
yep
