So Diablo IV at Blizzcon this year(Chris interview)?

Safe to assume spells and attacks wont be distinguished and every skill has an attack value boosted by basically every item?

Gameplay video of Diablo 4 demo: (I am already slightly less impressed now then while watching the gameplay trailer).

People who liked Grim Dawn, will prolly like this as well.

yep.


i mean d3 had basically the same thing right? you had strength which was damage and armour combined into 1 stat that you had on every bit of gear if u were a str class and the dex/int had the same thing, except int was resist.

damage reduction was basically = armour divided by 10, multiplied by resist for that given element, including physical being an element with its own resist stat.


i was hoping that they had moved beyond this way of thinking but lets see what else is in the system, is there enough interesting stuff to add on to that as a base in order to make a functioning item system that isnt the utter garbage d3 had?

Ok, so after watching some footage on stream, I must say the game kind of looks like trash.

Jee really?

in fairness, go watch someone stand up on the beach in act1 poe and hit some zombies with a stick, then go fight hillock...



its hard to really say what actual endgame play looks like from the start of an arpg.

Not to mention like from what I gathered from my chat with my relatives who went to blizzcon that shit isn't coming out in like 2-3 years? I'm not impressed this is an early stuff etc stuff could change but thinking this could surpass PoE customization complexity etc? Fuck no dude must be outa your mind.

You got so many people hyped about it and I'm like dude were you hyped for D3 look how that came out then they reply with IT HAD X amount of sales and it's a basic reply that's because of how successful D2 was simple concept.

Chris Wilson is afraid

yeah ive not been blown away by the gameplay shows.

the dude has potions... as in multiple, hes got like 50 fking potions...

come on man lol, poe and d3, one thing u wouldnt want to go back on was having a ton of potions and keeping up with that. attack + defence stats? oh boy.



but lets see, long time off, and what im looking at isnt a write off. it could easily have been a write off already, and its not that. it could still be epic.

The first image of PoE was trash imo!
