That and I guess the room is a standard size, sometimes the RG spawns in a really shitty spot where you can't kite at all which is annoying for certain classes, or you have Butcher charging halfway across the map cause it's a large open area and you made the mistake of not turning him the right way before he charged.
I mean, sounds fine to me, or like, it's whatever, doesn't really matter. Might make stuff a bit slower though.
Maybe it'll let them use Belial and crap too as a RG by using a static room.
I just realized - with Seasons coming to console, what are they going to do with all the cheating lamers? Maybe Seasons will be online-only on console like on PC?
I also realized that if RoS gets a Pro patch for PS4 I may actually switch to console full time. I really enjoy playing this game on PS4, but not having Seasons was too much of a bummer for me.

Necromancer not coming until second half of 2017 RIP D3 2017

That is really disappointing. Ah well.

you can't put a price on sparks
probably puts a permanent marker on the map?
maybe it allows them to add more bosses to the rotation, go to different places, do different things
lol second half... give me a fucking break!
I kind of figured this would be the case when they said they were still working on the female necromancer, the skills, and equipment. Everyone probably going to take a break after January then come back in 2H 2017 
It drops your pylon stuff so it normalizes grift RNG a bit, prevents HC cheese at the door.

I think this is the main reason. The other being that it also normalizes the fights themselves in terms of mechanics; there might still be variance in what tileset you get for the RG room, but you probably won't have pillars or weird spaces to fuck up their AI, or on the flip side have to fight a RG in some shitty spot on the map.
Nothing can stop death but the army of the dead!
Could make for a funny video editing their cut scenes together.
Come to think of it, the same goes for the WD I guess.
So yea I guess I'm in the middle on the announcements... I'm not hugely dissapointed like some are but what we got was a little underwhelming. More content and updates for D3 is great... But I really did want a full blown expansion or D4. As is I keep wanting to get back into D3 but I end up opting to play other games and idk if this will change that... Timing of season start is pretty big deal as well and the last 2 seasons started at horrible times for me so we'll see about the next one... I'd be happy playing non-seasonal but it feels so dead compared to seasons which is a bummer :/ I've hated the split player base ever since seasons launched. I hope the next Diablo, whenever that happens, finds a new way to keep players returning besides starting everyone over and splitting up the userbase...
As far as Necro goes I'm not sure if I'll bother with it whereas before I thought I'd be insta-buying anything new. I'm expecting Necro to launch at $15... $10 would most likely be an insta-buy but I doubt Blizz would price it that low. I think $20 is more likely than $10 coming from them and if it is that high no way I purchase the bundle.

From DiabloFans: Challenge Rifts, a new feature, will be coming next year. They will be an even playing ground: Paragon levels, Augments, full Ancients - none of that will matter in there. More info on them tomorrow.
"tomorrow" being today at this point obv... But we don't know that much yet but should find out more pretty soon

"Massive laundry list of additional stuff" to be announced later today, including "an overhaul of Greater Rifts".

I switcher from Marauder to UE for my DH. Everything is so much easier.

*Monster behavior: Leaping monsters can now be killed in mid-air; Invisible/buried monsters will now emerge faster.
That is one of the most needed Quality of Life fix they can add to the game. It really shouldn't have taken this long to resolve though lol.

Marauder sucks
Keep an eye out for a good ancient Dawn. I personally feel like it is much easier to push with Chakram UE than Multishot UE. Keep a Multishot rigging around for Nephalem Rift farming and bounties.
I think the QoL stuff in 2.4.3 sound really nice
Much less clutter in the inventory and thus more stash space is always welcome
The necro pack will be poor value for the money compared to an expansion pack, real shame they dropped the ball
Rifts are feeling really dull at the moment

Apparently the Diablo team is unaware of what Diablo 1 and 2 actually look like. They used Google Image screenshots for their panel but they were actually screenshots of modded versions of BOTH D1 and D2.

How many of the original Diablo team is still there?
Ayy lmao!
What a way to celebrate 20 years of a game they don't care about.
Odds they don't even have a copy installed back in the office?
Hahaha!
As for the news I am dissapointed we aren't getting a new expansion, but happy we are getting my favourite class from D2.
Hopefully I won't be tired of D3, by the time it releases.
Hmph, good to know!
Edit: actually a pretty good alternative to keep in mind while leveling if you happen to get chakram gear before multishot gear too.

I think this is really great news re: Necromancer. But next year - second half? Why reveal that now? This has to be a mistake. I was thinking this is the kind of thing you wouldn't announce until 3 months before it comes out.
They had a show to pad.
I hate to ask and I've refrained in the past but at this point might as well...
Would anyone be willing to PL a seasonal Crusader for me sometime tonight (NA servers)? Even if it's not all the way to 70 a big kick start would be nice...
I don't even know the fastest way to PL anymore or how long it takes nowadays tbh... I noticed in-game they locked torment 7+ prior to hitting level 70.

my pleasure - I should be on about 10pm EST ( in about 2 hours from this post) - should only take 20 - 30 minutes I think
I just finished this seasons journey this afternoon - the belial in 45 sec was the most difficult step it turns out.
If you're still on msg me eek#1673 i'll pl you to 70 no problems
edit: nm looks like you got it covered
Thanks for offering but yea Quantum helped me out once he finished up some bounties.

and thanks again!
Gotta log off for the night but finished up all of chapter 1 and 2 for the seasonal journey. Just a couple more quests left for chapter 3 as well which will easily be cleaned up tomorrow.
I've spent very little time with Crusader actually. Only a few hours when RoS launched... But damn throwing hammers is fun lol
Is there any active EU DiabloGAF guild at the moment, or any guild at all? I'd like to jump back on D3, did S5 but stopped as soon as it ended. I always have problems when it comes to make room for the items looted in the season characters because I never know what to thrash and end up stopping playing XD

Makes sense as they prolly have one part-time intern working on it.

I actually find the season journey kind of fun, but once I complete it I get bored and quit until next season. Managed to make it into the top 10 for DH this season so I think I'm pretty much done.
Yeah. That's why I was hoping for an expansion pack so they could build in monetization stuff. It must be hard to sell D3 stuff to the guy's in charge when D3 isn't really making them any money.
Pretty much every season for me. I'm OK with it though. I mean this game is almost 4 yrs old and I still play it every 3 months which is more than I can say about almost every other game I've bought. I don't really need a game that can take over my life. Not sure why some people want that so badly.

Yeah I agree. I've gotten so much value out of this game I can't really complain.
Sucks how they just kind of abandoned diablo and moved half the devs over to WoW (including John Yang). I was actually enjoying seasons, especially when it came packed with lots of balance changes, some new content, and new legendaries/sets.
Too bad.
Ha, nostalgia time. I remember suggesting that a looong time ago. Let's see if I can find it...
... nope, the battle.net posts are long gone (RoS beta board), but this reddit thread stuck around.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo/comments/277vhm/moving_rift_guardians_to_the_end_of_the_rift_and/
This was way back before they implemented greater rifts and people were complaining about Rift It Forward. (When regular rifts were opened by a key provided by a single player, and getting keys was a pain, high level players were pre-clearing rifts and having lower level people join for the boss kill in exchange for opening the next rift with a key they brought with them)
Eventually it was addressed by making the rift require a key from each player. The boss portal idea doesn't matter much outside of that flexible reward mechanism I was throwing around.
Nowadays, porting players into a boss room would just add a bit of style to the process by making it a clear transition. It would help with logistics on maps like you mentioned though, especially if the players all get a prompt to start it as a boss fight.
