Customisation or class locked?

Saw a female and male Barb.

 

[Dane]

Complete BS apology, and most of the audience are looking dead at the announcements.

 

[Bladed Thesis]

I did, but this is good too.

I didn't mind it either. Sure, it wasn't like the first two but it wasn't as bad as some people made it out to be imo

 

[nightmare-slain]

this is mind numbing.

just announce new stuff!

 

[Nydius]

I'll do with D4 the same thing I did with D3. Wait until it's out, see if/how badly they fuck it up for the sake of monetization, then decide whether or not to buy. I can't get hyped about Bliz cinematics, they're always top tier and people have been asking for a WoW cinematic style movie for all 15 years of WoW's existence. The gameplay looked good but let me see the UI, resource usage, and skill system before I decide.

Speaking of WoW... I just got a chuckle out of Ion announcing Dire Maul being playable at the show like it's an accomplishment or something.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Did you like the D3 artstyle?

Yeah, D3's art style is really eye-pleasing. I understand that people preferred a grittier look but it wears on the eyes after 100s of hours. The sharp colors and bold designs provide the player with a lot of valuable information when you're playing on the edge of your seat. It's easier to identify enemies and make decisions accordingly, for example.

I can already see how D4's crowds of enemies will smudge together, though it may not actually matter if combat is slower (which it appears to be). I'm excited to see how it turns out. I do like the series, after all.

 

[Tesseract]

i thought d3 looked aight, this is much closer to what i wanted outta a sequel tho

still not anywhere near it needs to be with lighting and particle effects, maybe they'll get there

 

[TheContact]

wat

 

[ManaByte]

HOLY SHIT that's how you follow up a subpar WoW expansion

 

[Rentahamster]

I did, but this is good too.

I didn't mind it either. Sure, it wasn't like the first two but it wasn't as bad as some people made it out to be imo

I mean, it wasn't the worst thing ever, but it felt off. Too much like Torchlight or WoW. It didn't fit.

It was just another one of the many things that was off about Diablo 3. It didn't stop me from playing the hell out of it and beating Inferno Diablo in a week after release (lol), but that game had issues.

 

[Shouta]

I'll have to check the D4 trailer when i get home. I've put thousands of hours into D3 so I'm ready for something new

 

[Jooxed]

That was dope

 

[Rentahamster]

That was a cool WoW cinematic.

 

[TheContact]

blizz needs to fix retail mechanics to make any of this last as a game. sure it will be cool for a month or so after release but there needs to be a return of the MMO mechanics and gameplay that got ripped out after wotlk

 

[Lanrutcon]

Wait. Did Sylvanas get dethroned as Horde leader? I thought they said that wasn't gonna happen. Like, years ago.

 

[Ivory Blood]

Wait. Did Sylvanas get dethroned as Horde leader? I thought they said that wasn't gonna happen. Like, years ago.

She was dethroned, yes, in the latest cinematic for BFA.

 

[RPGCrazied]

At first I thought it was going to be called Wrath of the Lich Queen. I thought she was going to wear the helmet.

Looks nice. But man I was hoping for a new class. It would have been cool for them to maybe add necromancer.

The necromancer was originally going to be a class in WoW. Along with a Runemaster class. They ended up merging the two which became the Death Knight. You probably won't ever see a Necromancer in this game.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

I don't have interest in any of these games (D4 is about it so far) but you gotta love Blizzard's art quality. The art is just dripping with craftmanship.

True. No game is perfect. I think what the game has developed into with Rifts and Greater Rifts and Primal gear has been a very interesting thing when combined with the Seasons. Definitely different from old Diablo and a change of directions for the franchise.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Blizzard need new writers. People called that shit back in the beginning of BFA.

 

[ManaByte]

Nah, people were saying she'd be like Garrosh and be the big raid boss at the end of the expansion. That's not what hey did.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Wait wait. Did the Horde not rebel against her like they did Garrosh? And isn't she going to be a raid boss in Shadowlands? Cause it sure looks like it.

Garrosh 1.5

 

[Nuka-Cola]

How are the protests outside of Blizzcon doing?

 

[Xaero Gravity]

How are the protests outside of Blizzcon doing?

They all took a break to go pre order Diablo IV

 

[Spukc]

All this lore wasted on a fucking pew pew game with zero story actually in the game

what the fuck.

make story mode pve ANYTHING

 

[nightmare-slain]

i really can't stand that Jeff guy. so annoying.

 

[ManaByte]

Tigole Bitties complaining about internet leaks on stage at Blizzcon. Old EQ Veeshan players are laughing their asses off.

 

[TheContact]

i really can't stand that Jeff guy. so annoying.

i really hope you're joking =|

 

[nightmare-slain]

i really hope you're joking =|

No. I really don't like him.

 

[TheContact]

No. I really don't like him.

jeff is like one of the best things about Blizzard, if not the best thing. He's a cool dude

 

[SirKicksalot]

Wow, this sperg being in charge of Overwatch explains everything...

 

[nightmare-slain]

jeff is like one of the best things about Blizzard, if not the best thing. He's a cool dude

Nah, I don't agree.

 

[Lanrutcon]

The cutscenes make Overwatch look like an amazing RPG.

 

[nightmare-slain]

The cutscenes make Overwatch look like an amazing RPG.

every blizz cinematic oversells the games

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Ah nice thanks for the cool CGI movie for free, Blizzard. This is the coolest part of the game and now I don't need to play it.

Yknow.

Since the story and gameplay aren't connected.

 

[Jack Videogames]

No new class or "main" races? Disappointing

 

[nightmare-slain]

my heart melts with Tracer's voice/accent.

 

[Spukc]

Mei is dead no more symbol for Hongkong

 

[nightmare-slain]

ice to meet you

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Wow, what a way to announce a sequel, though. Lemme meet these people in an actual campaign setting.

 

[nightmare-slain]

WTF

overwatch 2?

why

 

[TheContact]

that was a cool cinematic. I'd love a PvE Overwatch. I hope it's really fleshed out though

 

[Rentahamster]

All this lore wasted on a fucking pew pew game with zero story actually in the game

what the fuck.

make story mode pve ANYTHING

Looks like you got your wish.

edit:

The cutscenes make Overwatch look like an amazing RPG.

Yours too.

 

[Spukc]

Holy shit balls IT MIGHT BE A GAME ? ?>>?
or not?

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Co-op, story missions, leveling, and therefore the ability to ignore 100% of the competitive modes is a sell for me.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Wait.

Is Overwatch 2 a coop game now?

 

[nightmare-slain]

nevermind.

THAT SHIT WAS INSANE!! I LOVE IT

 

[TheContact]

Wait.

Is Overwatch 2 a coop game now?

there's co op modes, but still normal pvp modes we're used to

 

[Spukc]

No He just stated pvp is still most important ?
i am confused
