D4 officially announced - GGG's next move?

Barbarian uses leap slam to travel up and down. What a great innovation. Always good videos but worse game. They know how to encourage people to buy the game but at the end full of frustration. By the way, I got d1 d2 d3.

D4, PoE 4.

WHAT A FUCKIN TIME TO BE ALIVE. Gamers win anyway.

About the gameplay footage, yeah remember back in 08 that siegebeast execution? Thought so.

Anyway hoping that D4 will have good skill mechanics not that rune failfiesta cookiecutter shit, and the endgame will be more than lazy torment 13 and grift 2000

I can only hope it's good. I want it to be good but I'm not hyped, sadly. Feels bad that a Diablo game doesn't fill me with excitement. What an odd timeline.

Chris better step it up!!

That has nothing to do I'm saying you didn't see a talent system you didn't see anything it's legit d3 right now with a darker atmosphere you can't overhype if you haven't seen shit about it u giant walrus plushie!

From the dev panels:

"

100 players/map
Weekly raids, 25 man, matchmade, auto joined
Battlegrounds for pvp, skills are dfferent for pvp and pve, cnat use pvp skills in pve and viceversa
Dungeons, 1 to 4 man
World bosses, daily and weekly ones
Crossplay (console-pc) and cross save
In game full blown out isomentry
You can get the most powerful items in game playing solo, or in group, does not matter, raid bosses unlock tho skins for your heroes, and for abilities
(you dont buy them like in POE....)

actually they showed in stream, talent system, ability points,runes
The game has even more customization than poe, looks like you are desperate to try and hide the facts that were showed in live stream in witch, pal...
also, riding mounts

What’s PoE?

Oi!

It'll be interesting to see how they try and monetize it. Unless they can come up with a reason for gamers to continue paying, they're not going to continue to update it beyond minor balance patches and paid expansions.

Which means it'll be like D3, you play the hell out of it for a month or so out of the gate and then you're basically done until an expansion.

Which is fine; D3's a great game, it's just not a 'forever' game like PoE.

Also, lol @ the guy that called D3 a 'flop', considering it's one of the best selling video games in history.

Fixed that for you.

GGG's next move is evidently to release before D4. Releasing before D4 helps to minimize the direct impact of competition as well as giving them ample time to adjust accordingly or create new trends and shape the rules of the game. D4 was just announced with no tentative release date so the threat of D4 to Path of Exile 4.0 is simply too far into the future, if at all given how long it takes Blizzard to develop their games. It is all about timing at this point really.
