wait i'm not sure i follow. people think diablo3 runs smoothly?

i'm getting random micro stutters randomly for short bursts on that game, have always been (since necro update atleast), on 3 different systems over the years.

PoE is smooth as butter compared to it, on all 3 systems.


i guess yall are lucky ;)

i'm actually currently suffering through d3's random microstutters, again, just completing the season journey while waiting for poe's league to switch.

the last time diablo 3 ran smoothly for me was pre-necromancer patch.. it ran well back then on pretty much any machine. those days are long gone though.


It's like that on console. You even desync while playing offline. If you add any amount of speed to your character it just gets awful too.

PoE is definitely massively more optimized, considering you can have 200% move speed bonus killing twice the amount of enemies before it gets bad.
Need a new signature, cuz name change. I dunno though. I guess this seems fine. Yeah, this is good.
Also I need to add in, since everyone still seems to think D4 is gonna be coming out some time.

D3 has two classes coming still, there's missing passives for every class. There's no way D4 would be announced within the next year unless they wanted to guarantee it would fail.

Because who the hell would buy an incomplete game that the devs make it clear they have no intention of ever finishing?

On a side note, I just made up that Half Life 3 is gonna be announced soon. How are (insert competitors) gonna compete with that?

Hey, if you cant make actual good game, you can at least make it run smoothly.


Hey, if you can't make an original point, at least copy mine and repeat it in simple terms.


Yeah, because your point was oh so original.

I mean, I get the snark, but there have been some very credible reporting, and a number of insinuations from insiders that would be in a position to at least know in a cursory way what is going on (like Chris)

I dont feel like it's going out on ledge to say D4 is coming in the next couple years at most.

I think it's very possible D4 will be available for 2021 holiday season, say in June-October.

Edit: not to mention 20 years from LoD release date could be interesting...

Don't get me wrong; I do agree. Diablo 4 is inevitable. Even though Blizzard have made their mistakes and fuckups lately, the Diablo brand is still worth too much money for them not to release a major PC/console title.

But... I think the worst thing they could do, is to re-invent the franchise as something else than an ARPG, as others in this thread have speculated in.

We will get Diablo Immortal for LoD 20th anniversary, sorry.

I'm seriously asking, can you give me a link to something credible? I've clicked quite a few different ones people have given out on here.

Literally every one was claiming that D4 was coming, but then you read it and it says we have absolutely no reason to think this might be true, but everyone hopes it is.

I think this from Nov is one of the better ones since its sourced directly from multiple Blizzard developers. But there are others too.

Caution, it's a LONG FUCKING READ, what Jason is known for.
