I'd be fine with $40. That's what the Crusader expansion was. Would anyone really NOT get this if it was $40? $20? 30$ 40$ -- In the grand scheme of how much time you will be putting into Challenge rifts, and a brand new class, how can $40 be too much money compared to $20?

You are comparing an expansion with a new character, act , adventure mode and other features(i think) to a character pack. There is no way they would charge that much for a single class and 2 new areas.
I've seen a lot of ppl still refering to it as "the necro expansion" in their minds it's an expansion, they fail to understand the difference between PAID DLC CHARACTER and a full fledged expansion...
EDIT: Awesome wallpaper OP, sorry this thread is being derailed with necro pricing stuff xD.
My point was this -- you'll put x number of hours into Challenge rifts, the Necro class, etc -- all the new content in 2.6. It's going to be a lot of time over the long haul so does it really matter if it's $20, $30, or $40?
Challenge Rifts and the new maps and stuff will be free as part of patch 2.6.
Blizz will not divide the playerbase by some players being able to go places the rest of us can't. You'll be able to find necro items even if you didn't purchase the Necro DLC. You will be able to play with necros even if you didn't purchase the Necro DLC. So the DLC will just be the new class, some cosmetics, 2 new stash tabs, 2 new char slots and that's it. Everything else will be part of the free 2.6 patch.
So my guess would be, Necro DLC will be around 20 bucks or less.
Will be "fun" to have a full team of necromancers in public grs...... Well at least you get to play every other class in challenge rifts and no need to level them up.
Hahahahahaha. There is no way in hell that I'd buy it for more than 10 euro. There is no way I'd support this game more when they openly said they are working on a new title. This game will die this year more than likely and if not this year it will be the next one, but we won't be seeing any new updates on it. If the pack sells a lot they will probably make one more and just stall for time before Diablo IV is released. I rather wait for a new game than to get a class that changes nothing in the game.
Why wouldn't you support this game ? It is your money sure and you can do whatever you like with it, but I think Blizzard usually deserve the money, they have been supporting this game for 5 years and they will continue to support it for the next 10-15 years if Diablo1 and 2 is any indication.
I would have loved if they did an expansion instead of a DLC Pack, but I think they realized that this game has flaws in the core, they wanted to do something more accessible but instead they alienated the Diablo fanbase.
I hope they learned from this experience and I hope they go to the roots again.
I haven't played Diablo for 2-3 seasons but I would love to jump back in for the Necro and I have put a lot of hours in this game and I think my money was well spent and I am sure this DLC Pack will also have great value and if I can put in the necro 100 hours then it will be worth the money spent(I am sure I will put way more than 100 hours in the Necro).

Why wouldn't I support it? Because they will keep updating it with useless content just to stall for time rather than to work on the new 'promising' title. Necromancer and Greater Rift Challenges bring nothing new to the game. Nothing. Having, maybe, more than a thousand hours put into the game and giving us a new class won't make it a fresh content for people to come back to.
Diablo 1 and 2 had updates, sure, so did Diablo 3. I've been playing it since the alpha and the game has changed tremendously (in a good way) over the years. And to be perfectly honest Diablo 1 and 2 had patches, sure, but they were nothing big other than QoL stuff to keep the game up to date with current monitors and so on. I am giving huge props on the D3 team for making so much updates for the game, but it's obvious the game is done now. We need a new title ASAP. Necromancer might be fun to play, sure, but the core game remains the same, nothing new. The class will get boring eventually and we will be back where we started.
Of course if this doesn't get in the way of the new game, then I don't mind. Any new content is welcome. BUT, I rather the team focused on the new title rather than to work on a dead one.
Supporting the franchise shows that the updates and work they put into them are worthwhile. If nobody buys the Necromancer it tells them that people don't care about Diablo. Nobody knows how long a "new game" is going to take to be released, in the meantime they work hard to keep the current games interesting to players. A small price to pay for literally HUNDREDS of hours of entertainment.
Im struggling to understand why so many of you think the necro is an Expansion when its pure DLC, and even then I wouldnt call it a DLC.
Its nothing more than an "Unlockable Micro Transaction" imo.
Well, your opinion is fair, but almost all DLC is technically "unlockable" material.
DLC packs typically offer small story elements, and class tweaks.
Blizzard gave the class tweaks for free, but is using a DLC for a brand new class, which is far more than a Micro Transaction as the Necromancer could change several key elements of the game for longstanding players who care about the 4 man meta. It also shows that even though the game was thought to be dead, there are still some small and subtle plans for it.

I think around 15-20 Euro (UE).
It's a dlc... not an expansion

I'm pretty sure they spitballed a $20 figure for the DLC at last year's Blizzcon, but I can't find a source for that. Maybe it was just conjecture.

I think i will just buy it so i can use those 2 stash tabs for my crusader.
