So what are we most looking forward to next week? I'm looking forward to 2 stash tabs >___>

Will finally have some time to do in to the Stormblood MSQ and hopefully get to 70. Gonna dick around in PoE a bit during the 2week race with a friend in prep for 3.0 so that should be fun.

Oh, you meant in Diablo? Will prob buy the necro and sit on it for a while.

Everything in 2.6 really, beta was fun while it was up!

Stash tabs and Trag'Oul wings.

I am looking forward to sifting through and salvaging a bunch of shit ancients.

wouldn't catch me in non-seasonal for nothin'

yeah I kinda feel the same, wish they release the DLC at the same time as season whatever starts

 

[Woorloog]

I would guess they want to have some spare time before the season starts in case they need to fix some stuff or make balance adjustments.

 

[Raticus79]

Lol, I forgot there would be a new patch coming too. Let's see if we have anything on that yet...

I remember this was a really common suggestion a long time ago, but just the "static challenge rifts" part of it. Completing it as someone else's character is a weird spin on it. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

They had months to do that on PTR so I wouldn't expect any balance changes between launch and the start of the season

Haven't played in years, every since finishing RoS campaign on the PC. Thinking of coming back, but torn between PS4 and PC. Does the PS4 lack anything that the PC has? Also it sounds like a lot of new zones have been added via patches? Is there a comprehensive list of those? Thanks!

I think there are no seasons in consoles, so PC is best.

 

[Tragicomedy]

There is, though.

 

[BigWeather]

Also I'd do unspeakable things for a Lut Gholein expansion. Loved the environment, loved the critters, LOVED the music in D2.

 

[MagusMaleficus]

Nah, console has seasons. Other than control differences and the balance/UI changes that come with that, they're pretty much the same now.

 

[uncredited male]

This seems to be the best I got this season.

That's fantastic, thanks!

do we know if they are treating this as a game release / expansion release, aka EU gets it at the same time as US, or as a normal patch, in which case EU has to wait 1 extra day?

11pm on the 26th or 27th?

EDIT: edit: nvm its on the 27th, so technically we get it on the 28h oh well

 

[mileS]

Could I buy the upcoming pack by trading in a WoW token for Blizzard store balance?

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

Well that sucks

 

[Freezasaurus]

Is the add-on pack going to have any new trophies on consoles or not?

 

[IceMarker]

Yes, you can!

Is the add-on pack going to have any new trophies on consoles or not?

I think so, the PC version has new achievements, I have to assume the equivalent in Xbox Achievements/Playstation Throphies will be there.

 

[Ayumi]

Do achivements always have trophies on console? There are class specific achievements for the necro, just like any other class.

;_;

If I pick up the Eternal Edition I'm going to have to start over from scratch. My PS3 save disappeared ages ago.

I'm pretty sure the PC version had more of those things than the consoles did.

 

[uncredited male]

Got a Bnet card. Ready to go.

Looked over the skills and legendaries finally. If D3planner is to be believed the Inarius set shits all over the minion set. Unless the Inarius 6pc does not effect minions or something.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Skipped out on the Necro beta so it'd feel fresh to me and I'm ready to go!

 

[Rhaknar]

honest question but is there any reason why I shouldnt just delete all my normal characters? Besides the fct that all Ill play is the necro for the next few weeks, then all Ill play is season anyway, so whats the point in keeping those "normal" characters?

their banks and shit must be a mess too from the past season characters being brought over

The only reason would be if you want to progress further i guess, in normal (out of season).
I keep my chars because i try to rebirth most of em, so i stack more hours onto the char..
Though the other day i wanted to clear out some achievements, with wizard no less, and found out that all my super amazing gear from one of the seasons (5 maybe) had been destroyed because i was too lazy saving it.. Oh well, got the achievements anyway.
But yea, saving time played and progressing further during off seasons is the only reasons i can think of.

 

[Raticus79]

Some nice wings for doing the Necromancer class achievements:

[ToyMachine228]

I'm a bit behind...What will the Eternal Collection cost at launch? I heard it's $59.99 RSVP but that it will be on sale at launch. Perhaps $39.99?

Dang those are dope.

 

[Xanathus]

Just gonna be doing a story run through with the Necromancer when it launches, then I'll likely wait until season starts before getting it to 70 and doing the end-game stuff with it.

 

[IceMarker]

Only mere hours left!

 

[Dreams-Visions]

[carlsojo]

It's up on PSN!

Edit well you can buy it at least, can't seem to access it in-game though.. :/

It won't be playable until the maintenance is done, which is within 2 hours on console!

 

[Freezasaurus]

Is the Eternal Edition $60 Or $40 on PSN?

 

[Ayumi]

Is the Eternal Edition $60 Or $40 on PSN?

Diablo 3: Eternal Collection contains the Reaper of Souls expansion and Rise of the Necromancer. It will be made available digitally on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold members will receive a limited time, special introductory price of $39.99 instead of the standard $59.99.

[Xanathus]

Just realized how ridiculous the price of the Necromancer DLC is compared to the D3 Battlechest price of $30. We're paying 50% of the price of the game for one class... still buying it anyway.

 

[Ingeniero]

I'll get home in 2 hours, then I'm all over this Necro thingy...

 

[Ricerocket]

I want to get the Necro and play it now but next season is about a month later. blah.

 

[Syf]

Yeah I'm waiting til season starts. Busy with WoW anyway.

 

[Xanathus]

You can buy the Necromancer on PC (for NA at least)

Thanks for the heads up, also can purchase from the shop tab in the Battle.net Blizzard app (which is basically the same web page). Now to wait for the patch to hit!

In an even weirder world, we didn't get the content from 2.3+ for free and it was all released instead as an Expansion Pack 2 for $40.

Bought!!
And downloading some 2.69 GB patch!!!

 

[IceMarker]

I wonder if they made any changes from the last beta patch I played to live. Looking forward to comparing the patch notes.

Nothing for me yet... never mind, restarting the app did it. HYPE!

EDIT: Patch notes are up.

 

[Stevey]

Damn, cant buy Necro on PC until after maintenance which is 11PM - 1AM here

 

[Syf]

Didn't know set dungeons were being nerfed. Maybe they won't be such awful chores now.
