    0 comment. People are learning.

    This game will never be released.
    It is just there to lure Diablo fans to Blizzcon.

    Minor typo there, they said "rune words". It's a system Diablo 2 had but little different and i was hoping they would add them to D3 in some patch. But D4 will do well too...

    Well d3 took 4 years so mini 2023.

    Then it's stupid to announce the game for PS4 & X-Box One. Do they know we are at the end of this generation of consoles ?

    2030 it is!

    The game is being developed for pc and current-gen consoles at the same time, which are gonna be completely phased out by the end of 2021. There's simply no way microsoft/sony gonna give the green light for a current-gen console game in 2022-2023, so either development will be shifted towards next-gen or the development process will be sped up to fit the 2021 deadline.

    When Diablo 3 was first announced they only showed 3 classes. Blizzard confirmed Diablo 4 will have 5 when released.

    I think it's silly to classify what we've seen as "Rune Words" as that's not at all how they currently function.
    A Rune Word in Diablo 2 had a total set of stats separate from the runes. So far in Diablo 4 it's "Rune type A affects Rune type B" which is not a Rune Word, more like a Jewel slot.
    Overall I'm hyped for the game, but I don't see this actually being better than D2. If this game focused on Rares being situationally better than a Leggo, I'd be super happy, but as it stands we're looking to end up with "Cookie cutter build 4, the Lightning Strike Fang of Yiff Druid. These 7 Leggos interact and are mandatory wahahaha"

    Wanna play a Frozen Orb Sorc? There's 1 Leggo that makes it do any damage, and you don't have one and since good Leggos are currently slated to being only tradeable once, good luck.

    Lets pray I'm wrong and this game is amazing.
