Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Revealed

[DrMcNinja]

Personally don't like the game because meh... I don't like the AH. But I will definitely play it to get through the little lore things like I did when I bought D3

from screenshots of items I saw a lot of BoA stuff, so it may be possible that the AH will be much less of a problem with the expansion. Hopefully ^^

Even if Tyrael looks like the son of Obama and Forest Whitaker, I am not really convinced by this trailer.

It's high quality for sure, but I couldn't care less about the evil angel. I've never heard of this guy, so I am not very afraid of him...

Crusader looks decent, but not very original

Awesome cinematic yet again. And finally we get the Paladin back, that excited me the most probably lol. The Reaper looks so badass as well!

[glowpipe]

Can't wait, awesome cinematic, blizz make a full animated movie PLEASE !!!

i wouldnt complain if the warcraft movie was like this. The wow intro movies are kinda awesome. So a full 2-3 hour movie would be kick ass. But i would think that would take a lifetime to make

[Nienor]

hmm... after the fiasko that d3 was i think i'll pass on the expansion. imo blizzard needs to try a lot harder than this...
i mean the formula "cool trailer-crapy game" won't work anymore. at least not for me

[Redblade]

Well having seen the trailer I'm confident that I got the best part of this expansion already, without the need to pay. Blizzard's cinematic team rule as they have done for a decade now.

[Axxy]

Trailer looks excellent but I won't be getting the xpak. This kinda is the same for me..

WHY in the world would they add that? It would be terrible

Ya good call. Point and click is the way of the future, said no one ever.

[Glaziola]

SPOILER: it will be bad

In a good way!

[Serissa]

For some reason I'm sure all these naysayers/haters will rush to buy expansion on first day. I wonder why...

[Dragonshardz]

Why are people hooked on the expansion because of the cinematic? I mean, yeah, it looks incredible and all but hello... the gameplay and changes are the ones that matter, not a 3 minute CGI that has nothing to do with the actual game (bear with me a little). After Diablo 3 and the disappointment it caused due to the damned RMAH dependent gameplay, people need to be cautious about what to expect... the changes they are promising are looking great... ON PAPER. We still know nothing about the system changes and how it will affect the game. I remain an optimist (one fail does not factor a pitch fork and a curse for all time in my book) but we will have to wait and see whether this will be worth it or not.

PS: Crusader... really? I know Paladin is a huge deal in WoW but come the f--k on! We had em in D2, why is it a sin to call it that in D3... seriously.

So people want soulbound items, wasd movement... why do people want Diablo to be WoW? I happen to like both... but I also like milkshakes and hot dogs, doesn't mean I want a hot dog milkshake.

I don't know about WASD movement (I think it would be a hindrance more than anything else), however, regarding the soulbound items - Diablo 3 needs a way to get items (and gold) out of the economy. Soulbound (or rather account-bound, actually) items are one of the possibilities to do so. The other one would be ladder, but I am not a big fan of having ladder back again.

No offline mode because hacks. Not just about items. Same reason you couldn't play your online chars in offline mode in D2. They'd have to make it so you need to roll a whole new char for offline play, and you could never play them online. Which sucks. It sucked in D2 as well, they wanted to avoid that shitty situation this time and since almost everyone has a net connection now, it made sense.

Precisely. Offline mode = server code installed locally = trouble.

I mostly agree with your post, but D2 was completely intended to be played in a group from Hell at least (even NM can be a pain to solo for some classes). I remember people asking on the forums about how they were supposed to solo Hell as a Lightning Sorc when every 4th mob was Lightning Immune, and Blizzard said "you aren't supposed to solo Hell"*.

*(I mean, personally I soloed Hell on most of my chars, but it involved a lot of pack skipping, immune breaking and assorted BS that clearly was not the intended way to play the game)

Sure, but there are several important things:
- D2 LOD didn't spring to life with 1.10 and synergies that produced extreme single-element builds. Prior to 1.10, the lack of synergies made dual-element specs much more widespread. Some specs (trapassins and FO/FB) were perfectly capable of dealing with most of the mobs. Not to mention cheese... I mean hammerdins.
- Hell was soloed by a lot of people, including naked HC toons. The fact it is possible is making the game not tuned optimally.
- Sure thing, Hell was designed with a group in mind. The trick is, it was designed with just that in mind. Once you had an OK group, you could just steamroll through it. We played an ironman HC group once (ironman means clearing every zone but only once and using only self-found items) and with classes selected to synergize perfectly, it was still quite easy to play.

Ya good call. Point and click is the way of the future, said no one ever.

You can also move with auto-move and rotating your mouse, which approximates WASD quite ok. Personally, that's what I do.
Additionally, it can save you in those wth moments where clicking only gets you clicking on more mobs

about loot 2.0 they say that will be available to non-D3 expansion (also the rest of the system) and i don't care

i only care about if they delay 1.09 or even if 1.09 will exist or only when the expansion is released with patch 2.0 we will have the new loot

Players want the new loot to start playing D3 again, don't be evil Blizzard and don't delay/cancel patch 1.09 on purpose

[Glaziola]

Haters are not gonna play, people who enjoyed the game are gonna buy and play. It's that simple. No matter what anyone says I'm preordering my collectors as soon as it becomes available. I don't give a damn about the trailer just want more stuff to do in the game and that new class seems interesting.

[Unholyground]

how much is it going to be.

39.99 confrimed

I've never played a second of any diablo game but I love watching Blizz cinematics. I wish the warcraft movie was being made the same way.

I don't really understand how people can go into an Action RPG game, then complain that much of the replayability comes from farming or higher difficulties.
Welcome to the goddamn genre?

Might as well play CoD and whine about guns.

PS. Since this seems to be such an alien concept:
How many of those players who got Lord of Destruction got stuck for hundreds of hours? How many of them remained for years of Baal-farms.
The true LoD fanatics thought D3 would be everything they loved 10 years ago and more. No wonder Blizzard actually had to keep the hype from creating a black hole.

Personally I don't know if I'll play RoS. I defeated Diablo on Inferno and felt like I had gotten enough out of the game. Nothing wrong.
Also, who'd like to bet on whether or not there are threads from people with too fat wallets right now on D3 forums, yelling for level cap to stay at 60?

the problem isnt that we had to farm bosses or areas for drops.. the problem was that we DID farm for ages and still got nothing. back in d2 lod u could do 100 hell mephy kills and you'd get boatloads of items.. probably that occulus or grim shield/ tal rasha chest or shako for your sorc to drop. unique elite items werent that "unique" in a sense cause any idiot could go out and farm them. but despite their lower drop rate.. they werent really that low. high runes and runewords became the elite gear and while many people didnt have them, they still were fun to try and hunt for.

diablo 2 was more about item hunting, it was about pvping..about lvling, and about making alts .. and the secret cow lvl... you could skip act1s first quest and instead just kill andy if u wanted to.. u still had to gather all the pieces of the staff. but the good news is.. hey you can go straight to duriel after.. same with mephisto and diablo.. and baal really.. instead of being force fed a bunch of bullshit quests that we need to complete 3x..just to progress.. theres the option to skip shit.
my problem was never about replayablity.. its about the lack of reward.. item drop rates were insanely low, all the good rares.. were really not that good.. and legendaries.. could be awesome or terrible depending on whether they came with 1 wrong affix.. or stats way too low. did you ever hear about that strength bow in diablo 2? of course not... the bow was predetermined to have dex on it.. because things were right back then. blizz screwed up with the AH and making customers rely on it in order for any trade to even be remotely viable.. and the game suffered because of that.

as for the trailer.. ya it really doesnt do much for me at all. i might get the game just to explore it. but after being handed the pile of shit that d3 turned out to be. im not gonna get my hopes up into thinking the expansion will be any better. atleast they are trying to fix legendaries though.

[Taurrus]

I'm not that sure that 1 act and 1 new class will actually cover the probable $40 cost of this expansion

Remember the first warrior teaser? It was freaking awesome. Remember the warrior when the game was release? I'm gonna pass on this one. The game would crash several times before you get to enjoy the game. Not to mention the hours of farming for gears only to get crappy gears.
