I am getting a bit annoyed with everyone talking about expansion, expansion, expansion, expansion. Diablo 2 got a new ladder reset today. No new content for years. Still many people playing it. No one would be so selfish as to demand Blizzard to pull the plug on D2. And just as a reminder, it's been almost FIFTEEN YEARS since the last expansion for that game has been released. No new content in 15 years, yet the game is going strong. Am I still playing it? No. But I wouldn't go to a D2 fan forum and tell all the people who still love and play it that the game is boring and we should pull the plug.

but I don't enjoy the game anymore! therefore it is dead! blizzard makes this game exclusively for my enjoyment and they suck! wah wah wah! I'm a special snowflake and my opinion is the only one that matters!

<sarcasm off>
damn kids. GET OFF MY LAWN.

I never said my opinion is the only one that matters. I however have the right to state my opinion just like anyone else. Never said Blizzard sucks either. Flame on. Starting to feel a little like nazi Germany here where you can't speak unless it supports the idea that everything is fantastic.

Hi,

i just removed the link from this post as we already had this 2 days ago on our frontpage.

And relating to the discussion we will see it when it is finished. You know Blizzard is taking the time they need to develop something new. In my personal opinion it could be Diablo Part 4 I don't think they will develop an addon for RoS.

Considering how much Blizzard has invested into RoS (4 patches, each one with a good deal of content), as well as the fact that it is not yet time for D4 (The Nephalem haven't seperated/died/retired, so we would continue to be the Nephalem, so why the fuck would you make a new game with these characters), and the fact that D3 has multiple plot points going on (Valor into Wrath, Diablo the Prime still out and about)... It does not make sense to make D4. Spin-off? Sure. D4? No.

Ros has been dead for 3 seasons, deal with it. They're making Diablo 4, d3 is an epic fail played by either casual noobs or botters

and you are the kind of person who drive away most player with your stupid behavoir, D3 ain't dead, just because it's not what you want it to be doesn't mean it's dead :\ stop pretending your the center of the universe and maybe you'll notice a whole lot of people are still playing this game on and off, just because they are not playing this game 24/7 365 days a years mean they are not playing at all :\ man i'm sick of seeing you complain on every topic their is, if you hate the game so much GET THE FUCK OFF AND DON'T COME BACK :\

No they are playing 24/7 365 you noob thats what a bot is. And you are a part of the other part of the playerbase the casual noob who logs or 2 hrs on his para 700 shitkicker he thinks is good cus you have all ancients well news for you everyone has all perfect ancients but you still do 1/100000000000000000000000000 the damage of Para 3500 gemmed wiz with same gear cus gear means nothing. Yes I will happily drive ppl away from this game, that is my intention very poorly crafted game. If you play anymore its even more of a waste than before because they're making D4, Blizz ultimate weapon against botters and nolifer nerds (SoS) is let them use all their electric to paragon farm 24/7 for a game that they developing sequel for, with NO CHARACTER ROLLOVER LOL!!!

I've seen one gift drop. Ever. Drop rate is horrendous. I just assume I'll never see it and if I do it's a nice bonus, but I don't expect to see them in seasons. I don't play a ton hut I put in more than what I'd consider enough to have a shot at getting a couple. Each season I get to around p400.

Somenof you guys are just insane. Do you not see how much content is being added with every patch? Would you rather 2.3 and 2.4 not exist, rolled up that into an expansion and paid for it? Seriously the amount of new features in 2.3 and 2.4 combined could easily have been a paid expansion, it's just missing the story updates and I have a feeling some new story will be coming in 2.5 as they mentioned they are experiment with story telling in adventure mode. All this has been free. If it was an expansion the complaints would be that they are greedy, they give it away free and it's suddenly they are just lazy and the game is dead?

I was hopeful for an expansion at blizzcon on but after seeing the schedule, it's just not going to happen. There's only one d3 Dev panel and no room for an unlisted announcement anywhere.

I have an idea that could make ancient weapons and more fun at the same time while also increasing replayability.

First off, ancient weapons should be removed and reverted back to all being normal. I'm not calling for an all out nerf though, or QQ about how i'm not getting any or the one i want. I'm suggesting a new system for them as opposed to being pure RNG like they are now.

Create a new item, we'll call it "ancient rune" for now for lack of a better name. This rune would be a rare drop, in the same way as ramalandi's gift, possibly even more rare. It could be used on any piece of gear to make the item ancient, but not just straight up ancient. What would happen is you would insert a rune into the rift obelisk and it would then let you insert a weapon as well to try to make it ancient. You would then be ported into a greater rift. They would essentially work the same as they do now, but instead of upgrading a gem at the end, you would have the option to upgrade your weapon, or continue on to the next tier. The option to upgrade your gear would only be given if you successfully clear the rift within the timer and stats would be increased by 0.5% per level completed. Rift level 50 would give a 25% boost to stats on your weapon. The boosted stats would be the same as current ancient gear in that not all stats would be boosted, only the same ones that are boosted now. the 0.5% per level is also just an example. I'd expect it to be tuned somewhere so that around tier 38ish, maybe 42(because 42) would give stats equal to current ancient weapons, the farther you go, the better your weapon could get. The boost per tier completed would have to be low enough that each boost alone isnt enough to let you clear one tier farther as well, but i think fair tuning could be achieved. It would fit in Blizzards current philosophy of rewarding individual accomplishments as well as giving end game something else to grind towards. You could practice how far you think you can get in a standard grift, then when you're ready to roll the dice, use your item and give it a shot.

its RNG. just have to keep trying. Eventually you'll get one. Or you won't. Such is the fate bestowed upon you by the RNG gods.

if they are going to redeem anyone, it should be Cain. Leah was annoying

However, despite this, I still think there should be no seasonal only legendary items. Everyone should get them, there should be no need to bribe people to play seasons. That's just me though.

I would be perfectly ok with them making all the new "seasonal" items available in all game modes at the start of a season. Seasons for me are fun because its a fresh start. They're fun because there are new items and reworked items to get. I have zero desire for the game to lock people out of these new items just because they dont want to reroll a character and go through that grind again. Some people don't enjoy doing that and I get it. People shouldn't be punished for not wanting to do seasons. The fresh start of a season should be incentive enough to play seasons. The new items and patch changes should apply to the whole game to be a reason for everyone to be excited for a new patch and season start. Don't want to reroll? there's still all this cool new stuff to play with. Want to reroll? start a seasonal character and have at it.

honestly i think the problem is the gift itself. Its so powerful that its required. and spending it when you get a decent, but not great weapon feels bad if you end up getting a better weapon moments later which is bound to happen after you "waste" your gift. or if you get a good weapon but don't have a gift that rolls a natural socket, you feel obligated to not roll the worst stat to something better because then you're stuck with the socket and can't use a gift on it later. There are too many situations where the gift ends up feeling like a punishment vs a reward.

One solution, make the gift something you can gamble for with bloodshards. Have a 'trinket' option for 25 blood shards that can give you a random gem as a basic reward, or a chance a a legendary non player gear item, like a follower trinket, or legendary potion, or gift.

another solution would be to change what the gift does. Rather than adding a socket, how about adding another primary affix?(same end result) They could be made a bit more common, and you could use multiple gifts on the same weapon similar to how enchanting works, but each use would erase the old affix added with the gift.

I agree with shapookya, but something like this could still be fun if implemented properly. Make it non-competitive(no leaderboards) so its just for fun. And implement something like a 30 minute timer on each level. Fail to clear a level in that time and the next level is no longer available. Or possibly a pulsing aoe in the whole map(unavoidable) that would eventually one-shot you after it stays up long enough. There are ways to prevent endless kiting.

i'd be against that completely. Seasonal items make season characters fun and worthwhile to create.

The arguement still isnt valid as youre missing the point. The point I am making is there should not be one best build. There should be multiple ways to play in every t level. Which is where more items and build changers come in. And once they have more builds rolling t6, they should add new t levels. Not expect everyone to just do greater rifts.
