Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls

New teaser site for the expansion.

No features have been announced, most notably the absence of the 'fun' feature.

EDIT:

New class, Crusader
Act 5, Pandemonium Fortress
New level cap - 70
Loot runs - 15-20 minute completely random dungeons, multitiered (random weather/enemies/boss)
Mystic - transmog items, reroll affixes on rare/legendary items
Paragon levels now account wide, no apparent cap

I don't get anything other than:

"Death, at last, shall spread its wings over all." - Book of Tyrael

[Rendakor]

Don't we have a subforum for this?

[Nonentity]

teaser site

[Nonentity]

And sure, we have a graveyard subforum, but I figured there might be a shred of hope alive in some that this expansion could magically fix the game.

So, here it is.

[luckton]

Maybe the ending for this won't be as bad as D3 was.

ESTIMATED RELEASE DATE: After Hex

oh well

[Yegolev]

Wrong subforum.

[K9]

This registers very low on the care-o-meter

Blizzard needs a new IP methinks.

[luckton]

They just need to move on to Diablo 4 and forget this whole RMT auction business. 

[Fabricated]

Diablo 3 was bad. This won't fix it.

[Malakili]

Being one of the few people who actually think Diablo 3 is decent, I'll buy this.  They have been ever so slowly trudging in the right direction with D3 for a long time, so maybe this is what they need to push themselves over the edge with the changes.  I wouldn't say I am "excited" about it, but I think I will easily get my money's worth.

Will there be wailing and gnashing of teeth when the gear that people RMT'd is now useless?

[Soulflame]

You forgot to mention that skills + items will be revamped in a way that makes them less interesting and sticky for longterm play.

Given the current state of skills and items in Diablo 3, that would actually be an impressive feat.

[MrHat]

Unless this is Diablo 3: Path of Exile Necro Edition there's very little that will bring me back around.

I made my money, and I look forward to making more. 

[dusematic]

Diablo 3 was weird.  Probably the most hyped for a game I've ever been.  I beat the game 3 times, spent a fortune on the RMAH, and farmed for many hours...all on the strength of the hype, and not on the game.  I kept waiting for it to be "fun."  That moment never arrived.  After they turned SC2 into 3 full $60 releases, and then pulled this, I think II'm done with Blizzard.  Something unthinkable even 2 years ago.

[Reg]

Same here.  It's amazing how quickly they burned through the goodwill they'd built up over the last 20 years.

[satael]

Like I said in the other thread, just make it a large roguelike dungeon (that randomly generates levels) with the final boss at the bottom and I'll buy the expansion. If it's more along the lines of Diablo 3 I'll be happy to skip it (and maybe just watch the cinematics on youtube)

[Hoax]

I'm willing to pay up to $10 per new class, otherwise I can't see it happening. The game just isn't as good as either of the previous titles though hardcore was pretty fun with no RMAH nonsense.

[Mrbloodworth]

Reaper of Wallets.

[Simond]

Reaper of Butthurtedness.

[Fabricated]

I just like that a Free To Play APRG made by a bunch of Kiwis who had never made a game before in their lives managed to be a better game as far as I'm concerned.

Along with Blizzard North detritus who made a better game twice, on a shoestring budget, built on open source software.

I've had more fun with Van Helsing which is basically Titan Quest with some refinements. I bet Grim Dawn will also be better and that was kickstarted.

[Yegolev]

Grim Dawn is a real TQ reskin but is already better than D3 due to lack of an auction house.  Unfortunately, it's no Path of Exile at this time.

[Soulflame]

I agree with Dusematic and Reg, even two years ago I would have been willing to plunk down money for a Blizzard product sight unseen.  Now, I've passed on Heart of the Swarm and a WoW expansion (I really disliked Cataclysm at the start, broke me of WoW ever since.)  I will give a D3 expansion a look, but if it's not an LoD type fix to D3, I'm likely to simply pass on it.

They did this already, only it was called Torchlight.

[Ingmar]

And is about 20% as fun to play, for me.

[Samprimary]

I went ahead and took things to the logical conclusion

[schild]

That writing was too much, otherwise good show.

[Samprimary]

give him a fuckin break man he's only 8

[schild]

Man, that 8 year old is way behind - developmentally speaking.

[Velorath]

I might buy this. If it comes free with the PS4 version. And the console versions end up being better than the PC versions, without all the AH shit and the local multiplayer is good. And if I'm compelled enough to pick up a PS4 at some point in the next year or so.
