Support NeoGAF

[matrixman92]

not sure if its already been posted, but the Gold Soldier 76 funko pop is available for everyone on the gear blizzard site. I thought it was only for ticket holders, but I was able to order it

 

[Syf]

I guess the two prints could be Sombra and The Necromancer if they're for separate products.

Yeah too ambiguous to tell right now. Sure helps the ol' hype meter though.

 

[Blues1990]

Still very cartoony, though.

Oh, brother. I hope you're joking.

 

[BumperLips]

my dick is fucking hard

diablo doesn't look like current diablo

Calling it as D2 HD since it's soulstone Diablo.

LETS GOOOO

 

[Acidote]

That Diablo looks like a reskinned WoW Orc face.

 

[spootime]

This sombra shenanigans has completely flown past me. It's a hero and they dont want to announce it yet so they do some ARG type stuff. Aint nobody got time for that.

D4 however, I got all the time in the world for that. I seriously doubt it will happen but man do I love me some Diablo. Best blizzard franchise imho! (Not knocking the others, they're great too but Diablo is my wet fantasy).

The sombra stuff is really goofy. I think they way overestimated how many people give a shit about yet another overwatch hero.

 

[Skab]

my dick is fucking hard

diablo doesn't look like current diablo

There's a cleaner version of this on the Overwatch twitter:

Weird. That Diablo looks like a male version of the d3 fen Diablo, plus the stone added in.

Whatever though, new Diablo anything is good news.

Edit: for reference, this is what D2 Diablos head/horns looked like:

And here's D3

New one almost looked like a mix of the two.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Will those Blizzcon exclusive items on their shop be available later for everyone? I need that Pachimari plush in my life.

 

[Berordn]

How will GAF react when the D2 remaster is actually a D3 expansion?

 

[Arkeband]

These poll options, they're all so equally great and facetious, how do I even choose?

I hereby select "more torment levels for D3 players", let's keep that treadmill going lads.

How will GAF react when the D2 remaster is actually a D3 expansion?

Maybe it'll be an emulator that exists within the D3 client. #wtf #omg

 

[Skytylz]

How will GAF react when the D2 remaster is actually a D3 expansion?

Rejoice. I'm tired of companies trying to sell me the same game over and over.

 

[LumpOfCole]

That Ana-centric poster would really rub my wife the wrong way. She cannot stand the way Ana talks (I think because of the extremely Egyptian-Arabic dialect which Ana uses, while my wife speaks in a much different Lebanese-Arabic dialect). Every time my wife hears Ana in-game, even from another room, I can hear her scoff and huff.

 

[Matthew23]

Diablo is clearly either getting a new game announced or an expansion but if it was Diablo 4 I think there would be more panels announced for it... unless its REALLY far away.

Wouldn't an expansion also warrant the panels though, especially when it would be coming sooner than a new game would? Maybe it's just my wishful thinking but an early D4 trailer announcement seems more likely as an expansion would surely be pretty far along at this point with a lot ready to show off.

D3 is a good game but not something I need to keep coming back to like the previous titles.

Other than D4 I really want some info on the WC, SC, and D2 remasters.

 

[Skab]

Btw for all you conspiracy nuts, the D4 dice was corrected in the blizzcon goodie bag. Sorry.

 

[dave is ok]

This is a hint. The first letters of their names spell

N A S C I D

Which is clearly an anagram for "Not Another Star Craft. Instead, Diablo"

 

[BossDarkseid]

How will GAF react when the D2 remaster is actually a D3 expansion?

I'd hope they use a modified Overwatch engine, or at least something more updated than the D3 engine. If D2 remake was a D3 expansion...I literally would not mind. I just look forward to some new Diablo experience, and I've had enough little problems with trying to get Lord of Destruction working that I kinda just hope Blizzard either do a remake or update it so it can go at super high resolutions without it breaking the game (like attacking enemies beyond their aggro range).

 

[Ashodin]

There's a cleaner version of this on the Overwatch twitter:

I was going to say it's HOTS Diablo, but Chromie's there. SHEIT

Hmm... It might actually be D2HD then. With Soulstone Diablo + Necro pic.


Or maybe it's TIME TRAVEL DIABLO 4 :O

 

[ThatGuy]

What about a Diablo spin-off?

I think a Dark Souls or Bloodborne like game set in the Diablo universe would be interesting.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I was going to say it's HOTS Diablo, but Chromie's there. SHEIT

What if

Chromie ends up in the diablo universe and ends up combining the D3 timeline with D2s timeline

DOUBLE DIABLO
DOUBLE THE FUN

 

[Formosa]

Please announce 4K PRO update for Overwatch!!!

 

[BumperLips]

If it is D2 HD i really hope they don't change the way item finding works.

To this day, I'm doing mf runs and they're fun as hell. (This is on a server similar to slashdiablo)

Idk why but no other game has gotten me pumped when grinding items like D2 has. Not even PoE and I love that game.

 

[Kilrogg]

EU-Diablo, we should hang out on Blizzard Voice Chat or something tomorrow night so we can gush/rage about whatever is revealed.

Anyway...

I apologize in advance for making an even sloppier and dirtier |OT| than last years thread. I know that some people really look forward to these threads every year, so here's hoping this is at least good enough to get some hype in .

Yoshi. Yoshi. Read the following.

So... If by the grace of our lord and saviour RNGesus D4 or D3EXP2 make an appearance... can I expect the return of the dinosaur?

Cause something has been missing in the community for a long time.

You heard the Dun. Now answer him: are you coming back? What will it take for you to come back?

 

[Yoshichan]

I'll be back if the content is right, but remember that I'm currently working a 100% job and studying full time as well, on top of me trying to actually stay relevant in the gaming world as well :lol

oh and gf, family, cat and life.

 

[Tovarisc]

I'll be back if the content is right, but remember that I'm currently working a 100% job and studying full time as well, on top of me trying to actually stay relevant in the gaming world as well :lol

oh and gf, family, cat and life.

So how did you manage to add hours into 24h days? Black magic or just time travel? :b

 

[Adnor]

I'm so ready to be disappointed, can't wait.

please, please, D4 or a new expansion for D3

 

[Yoshichan]

So how did you manage to add hours into 24h days? Black magic or just time travel? :b

I wish :/ Less sleep than usual, the past three days I've gotten a total of 7 hours sleep. It's been an extreme case though because of the exam I had to study for, but I just finished that today so I can now "relax". And with relax, I mean focus on the job :lol

But yeah, a normal day for me is 8am to 6pm work, then 7pm to 11pm studies. Every day except for Sundays.

 

[Skab]

You know I just realized that the lore/background for the necromancers in Diablo actually fit pretty well with the set up from the ending of RoS.

Which still fits with either an expansion or D4. Bah is it tomorrow yet?

 

[Dr. Buni]

There's a cleaner version of this on the Overwatch twitter:

Chromie looks adorable there

 

[Drayco21]

That Diablo doesn't look all the way D2 to me; maybe a post RoS plot version based on classic and D3. D2HD seems likely, but hoping for D4.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Cannot wait for this.

 

[SargerusBR]

My hopes and dreams:

WoW
7.2 and future patches preview
8.0 tease
WC3 Remaster

Starcraft
Starcraft Ghost revived
Starcraft Remaster

Diablo
Diablo 4 with offline play

Heroes of the Storm
Female Protoss hero (Selendis, Rohana, etc)
Blackthorne

Overwatch
New game modes announced (CTF, TDM)
Doomfist and Sombra announced

 

[Baleoce]

Good god I am so hyped for this announcement GAF.

 

[Blues1990]

Good god I am so hyped for this announcement GAF.

I'm excited mostly for the Diablo III & Overwatch news, but BlizzCon always has some cool stuff to show.

 

[Kilrogg]

Time resets can be a stupid plot device and a massive cop-out, but God do I hope Blizzard is doing that for the D3 expansion/D4.

Let us pretend the story and dialogue in vanilla D3 never happened, Cain is back, and the world and dungeons are now properly randomized.

 

[fierrotlepou]

Can someone post a countdown timer or something, please?

 

[TubbiestPack]

My hopes and dreams:

WoW
7.2 and future patches preview
8.0 tease

How would they tease 8.0? Surely that would spoil a large part of Legions story which is still to be told.

 

[Nirolak]

My hopes and dreams:

WoW
7.2 and future patches preview
8.0 tease
WC3 Remaster

Starcraft
Starcraft Ghost revived
Starcraft Remaster

Diablo
Diablo 4 with offline play

Heroes of the Storm
Female Protoss hero (Selendis, Rohana, etc)
Blackthorne

Overwatch
New game modes announced (CTF, TDM)
Doomfist and Sombra announced

Well you'll get... Sombra and a WoW 7.2 preview.

Heroes is a bit harder to say, but it's going to be Varian Wrynn and 2-3 other heroes, and they just had a StarCraft event, so I'm not sure if they'll have another StarCraft hero in the pool.

 

[Raticus79]

Definitely feeling the new levels of torment over here, lol. This has been one long, confusing PR cycle. The end draws near! (hopefully?)

Can someone post a countdown timer or something, please?

Opening ceremony:

Diablo 20th anniversary:

 

[Baleoce]

There's a cleaner version of this on the Overwatch twitter:

Kind of looks like the HotS Diablo.

 

[Dog Problems]

Which Blizzcon announcement are you most hyped for?

Warcraft Adventures finally coming out.

 

[SargerusBR]

No Metzen giving us Hype speech will make me sad

Well you'll get... Sombra and a WoW 7.2 preview.

Heroes is a bit harder to say, but it's going to be Varian Wrynn and 2-3 other heroes, and they just had a StarCraft event, so I'm not sure if they'll have another StarCraft hero in the pool.

Varian? Ugh.

 

[Yoshichan]

All the reveals would happen during the opening ceremony right? So in 20h and 12 min from this post.

 

[QFNS]

Btw for all you conspiracy nuts, the D4 dice was corrected in the blizzcon goodie bag. Sorry.

THE PLOT THICKENS HERE.

 

[Syf]

Varian? Ugh.

Right? I'm bored just thinking about playing him. I choose to believe they'll announce Ragnaros, Alexstrasza, and Malthael too just to make up for it.

All the reveals would happen during the opening ceremony right? So in 19h and 12 min from this post.

The big ones yes. Sometimes there's smaller ones at the dev panels too though.

 

[Nirolak]

Kind of looks like the HotS Diablo.

Chromie is the Heroes representative on that slide.

All the reveals would happen during the opening ceremony right? So in 20h and 12 min from this post.

The *biggest* ones, yes.

 

[Dunfisch]

I'll be back if the content is right, but remember that I'm currently working a 100% job and studying full time as well, on top of me trying to actually stay relevant in the gaming world as well :lol

oh and gf, family, cat and life.

Just put the cat in front of the PC. Add in some prerecorded samples of you cussing out shitty drops and frustrating game mechanics and we're golden. I mean, game like D3, I won't even know the difference if your cat bats at the keyboard.

 

[Raticus79]

All the reveals would happen during the opening ceremony right? So in 20h and 12 min from this post.

Oh yeah, I guess so. Here's the clock for that one:

 

[Dunfisch]

EU-Diablo, we should hang out on Blizzard Voice Chat or something tomorrow night so we can gush/rage about whatever is revealed.

That's a right proper idea. Can't wait to wallow in despair.

 

[btown]

All I want is new D3 content.

 

[Yoshichan]

This got me laughing for a minute straight

Thank you :lol
