[rumor] Is Blizzard making a Diablo MMO?

[Kokolums]

You know, blizzard has two teams working on wow. Team a and team b trade off as the current expansion. But what if there was more to the plan? What if team b was actually getting ramped up to be put on the next gen diablo mmo? Then the pattern would be release a wow expac then a diablo xpac then a wow xpac then a diablo xpac?

Why should all games be homogenized? Witcher 3 is great, but why do we need another open world RPG, like so many games these days? Diablo is Diablo, it's not Skyrim. It's a massive IP with a massive following, changing one of the most important aspects of the game (top down perspective) is going to be too huge for Blizzard, and it wouldn't be a smart business move given how autistic most of their fanbase is.

Because they're fun.

I really doubt they care anymore.

No two planks of wood big enough.

Because they're fun.

Sure is a lot of delusion up in here. If you think Blizzard ever considered anything but money, you're wrong. That's why a Diablo first person RPG is too much of a risk.

I feel like Blizzard cared not just about money. Activision Blizzard, however, not so much.

Well you're wrong. Pre-Activison Blizzard may have had a different stance as to how to maximize profits, but it's always been about that.

And by fun you mean extremely boring.
Top down perspective all the way (lost ark way).

If they did a Star Craft mmo, the subs from Korea alone would drive their profits through the roof

Finally someone knows what they are talking about!^ A star craft Vanilla inspired MMO( 1.12.1-2.4.3 before resilience split the game in half AKA the only good version of "wow") would be the only thing blizzard can announce at this point that would be fresh and not some shitty regurgitated material like the past 10 years of their garbage

Yes. Wow is slowly but steadily becoming a Diablo MMO

No... It is slowly becoming a WoW ARPG with instant gratification everywhere and RNG loot.

i would love a diablo MMO... or at least a mature dark and gritty MMO.... but because of the "we have to be family friendly!" bullcrap in videogameindustry i doubt that..

but well... videogames came a long way... the "adult" audience grows more since games are not "childplay only" anymore.. and with the recent success of novel adaption like Game Of Thrones or The Walking Dead..

maybe we can get an adult MMO... which is actually good quality wise... and not some c-quality production from some kickstarter scammers.
