Necromancer 27th, 15$ will you buy/play?

[schwarzkopf]

It takes an experienced player only 1.5 - 2 hours to level 1-70.

And Trump's IQ is well over 200 ... yep, all the same stories I hear over and over.

Overpriced ? You pay the same or even more than that for a cinema ticket + snacks and something to drink on the cinema.

Good thing going to the Cinema isn't the only way u can entertain yourself.

So tired of the "Its cheaper then the Cinema" argument when there is many things equal to or cheaper then this DLC (or subs to games).

This isn't 1960, there is more things to do then going to the Cinema.

Overpriced ? You pay the same or even more than that for a cinema ticket + snacks and something to drink on the cinema. Giving you 2-3 hours entertainment. The necro pack will last more than a 2 hour cinema movie. Even 2 movies.

You get a better return for your money buying the necro pack. So no. Not really overpriced.

I get a better return on other games for $15 too.

Not really a fault of the necro pack. It's just the game at this point in its life cycle.

[Banard]

I fully expect this to happen:

• My nostalgia for the necromancer will overtake me. I will purchase the DLC for $15.
• I will log into D3.
• Realize I'm playing D3.
• Log out.
• Wait for my friends to get online to powerlevel my Necromancer, then get boosted.
• Play a few rifts with the Necro.
• After about 40mins say "that's cool"
• Log out of Diablo 3 until 2021.

This is spot on. Now...the same developers who made D3 awesome work on wow..........i dont know if D3 is a shit game....or my taste have evolved since D and D2 but i cant stand D3. It was just "alright" playing the campaign once. There is nothing i like in that game.

watch them add a wow pet in the $15 bundle...bah then i'll get it for sure.

[Joey Ray III]

nope. the game is in a horrible state and not because it lacks classes.

It's entertainment value per dollar is lower than a lot of other forms of entertainment. If you don't like the $15 price, don't buy it. Plenty of other people will.

That's fine, different strokes for different fokes. Its value per dollar is also higher then a lot of other forms of entertainment as well.

Even more so when in just a couple day's the Steam Sell is going to happen.

My comment was that I am tired of the "Its cheaper then the Cinema" argument. When going to the Cinema isn't the only thing u can do with $15.

I am with you, except that last point. They will find a way to get more money and me log in before 2021

15 bucks isn't luxury.
I live on a kind of government assistance and even I can spare 15 euro for a one time purchase. It seems few people have that foresight and planning capacity.

I meant that not everyone has the luxury to spend €15 willy nilly, you saying that you had 'the foresight and planning capacity' to save up for the purchase confirms that?

[oplawlz]

All the stuff i care about with this patch is free. I'll buy necro when it goes on sale for 5 bucks, which is the most i've ever paid for a new class in a game without other content.

The cinema is a readily available cost per hour figure that a lot of people use for entertainment. If $15 for a 2 hour movie is acceptable, then $15 for a 20-30 gaming experience is more than acceptable.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has this experience.

The cinema is a readily available cost per hour figure that a lot of people use for entertainment. If $15 for a 2 hour movie is acceptable, then $15 for a 20-30 gaming experience is more than acceptable.

And yet you can spend $15 for another game that gives you more hours of entertainment.

You can also spend $15 somewhere else and get longer entertainment then the movie and this DLC. So once again comparing the two is stupid for many reasons, The main one being they are not relatable and there is more to do then going to the movies.

If someone wants to buy the DLC go for it, Different strokes for different fokes. But comparing going to the movies to a game DLC is like comparing apples and chocolate.

[Orby]

£14 seems a bit much. I would have settled £10 max, no more. But I do really want to play Necromancer again

lol so true. I am same with Heartstone now days. Only go onto that to get my card back every week :P

[Razorice]

Why not, will use my WoW token for it.

[Noomz]

Somewhere between 5 and 10.

Time doesn't really mean anything alone, they probably only had a skeleton crew on Diablo so of course it took them way too long.

5? You can't be serious?
10 is low. 5 would be to work at a loss.

THese are things to which you have no basis in fact as you state them. And even so, you still think that it wouldn't be worth the money, IF there was actually a small amount of people doing all this work.

Fair enough. I have been pleasantly surprised with how much they've continued to support it since RoS. They NEEDED to after the original D3 launch just because of how bad it was, but sticking with it after RoS...

So, touche my friend.

I think that maybe they want to charge us for SOME of the new content they give us, considering that everything since RoS launch as been completely free yeah

- - - Updated - - -

Wow, you are extremely defensive aren't you ? Read the question. Read possible answers. Don't rage because people dare to have diffrent opinions. Dlcs/expansions tend to bring people back to games. This one doesn't do it for me.

I'm not raging. But I'm sure you'd say that no matter how I phrase myself, simply because I'm disagreeing with you. I'm sure you'd use different words if you could. Yes, you are a brave one for standing up to me. Daring like few.

[darklogrus]

Just isn't worth the $15 for basically just a char,

[Tziva]

Yes. I was pleasantly surprised at the price. I kinda expected them to overcharge but I think $15 is reasonable for an entire new class (plus a few miscellaneous bonuses).

Does anyone know if this just for PC or both PC and Console?

Skimmed and didn't see anyone answer, so sorry if redundant: It's for both PC and console.

[Darleth]

Probably not buying it.

Considering Path of Exile gets a HUGE UPDATE for free, which adds 6 acts and probably a ton of balance changes and other new stuff, it would just be absurd for me personally to buy a single character for 15€. Even though I loved the necromancer in D2, nostalgia wont be enough for me to invest 15€ into the game. If it would add a bit more other than just a character, some stash tabs etc, I'd think about it. Other than that, I would've rather had a new expansion for 40€ with more content and the character as part of that.

[Salty Maud]

Maybe when it's on sale, maybe not even then. After all it's just one more class to a game i rarely play, and i like the monk anyway. I try to play D3 every now and then but quickly get bored when i get reminded about the fact that the game is pure grind and the core gameplay loop is while decently engaging, awfully repetitive and predictable and ultimately boring to me.

Necromancer DLC is a clear attempt at trying to prolong the lifespan of a game that is slowly fading into obscurity. Nothing wrong with that per se, but this feels like they have given up on trying to actually bring D3 back in full force and they are simply for the lack of better word milking it now.
