Blizzard is too afraid to make actual items (not versions of the same item) super rare again. Therefore we get ancients, and primals. Can't wait to farm the exact same item 100 times hoping the stats are higher.

Just the mere idea that we can't have super rare, hard to find items again like in D2 BECAUSE a small amount of people will whine that they can't find it during a season is depressing.

I don't think we'll ever get an actual Diablo game again. It'l be this same arcade 'rare'-items-rain-down crap over and over.

Anyway, yea OP you're correct.

I would absolutely pay for cosmetics

dyes / pets / xmog / portraits / banners / wings, you name it.

Hell I'd pay for boxes that are randomized. Whatever it takes for Blizzard to take this game seriously.

Quick thought; can they just be called primal legendaries? Primal ancient legendary just is a little gobbled up ya know?

Obviously no one will call them primal ancient. Primal is just fine. Just like most people say "I found an ancient item" and not an "ancient legendary item".

This isn't fixing any problems. However, unless 2 hand bows are bugged, I crafted over 200 on the ptr and didn't see any. So, just another stat increase sure, but at least they feel rare.

Honestly I would have actually liked this idea if you couldn't craft them.

My personal opinion is that we are going to get an announcement at gamescom or blizzcon about a DLC pack that will tie up all lose ends of the D3 story. This new story pack will also come with two new classes, and a new act.

The fact is that they are working on several things they have not even talked much about yet. For instance, the endless maps they showed us at blizzcon. Those were interesting, and I am curious to see what type of game mode that will be.

Also, the new zones and monsters they are adding, at least to me, seem like a prequel to the introduction of a new demon lord/demon army. Maybe all of this will be what leads up to D4?

It's taking them at least 8 months from announcement to release the necro. There's no way in hell they are capable of also releasing 2 more classes with another dlc, let alone a whole new act.

My comment in plain English does not say anything about "releasing" two new characters and a new act.

It says announcing, so not sure where the disconnect came from?

Also, this follows a 2016 where not much happened. Expecting a lot of new content seems curious given D3s history. Most likely, if they are doing anything at all with Diablo (which they may well not be doing), they are starting the long term multi year development of D4 rather than spending a lot of time adding new D3 content.

Pretty much what LordOfTerror said.

I'm always grateful for free content (although the necro isn't free), what I'm complaining about is the lack thereof. It's been years since RoS came out, and it'l be a minimum of two years IF we ever see an expansion again, which I don't think we will. They wouldn't split up content, over a year, if they could package it all and sell it at the end of the year as a 40$ expansion.

D3 is in maintenance mode. We're getting a cool new class in 6+ months, two new zones (wooooo) at another time, and some QoL changes at another time. Challenge rifts are just a simple tiny band-aid to try to even out a playing field, but you don't even get to use your own gear. Or your own build. I've pointed out over and over again WHY Grifts are broken (mainly because they are infinite in difficulty), so I won't go into it now. If Blizzard is fine with the state of the game, then there's really nothing I can do.

So, ya a tiny bit of content, with nothing meaningful for the rest of the year besides one class you have to pay for. Not very encouraging.

There won't be any new game mechanics for a long time guys, and we're still looking at 6 + months until the Necro.

Remember, one of the biggest draws of an expansion in almost every Blizzard game is a new class, and they announced that 8 months AHEAD of it dropping. If they had new game play mechanics coming as well, then they could have easily bundled the Nerco, new mechanics, and the new zones they announced into an actual expansion.

All we're getting, that we have to pay for, is the Necro. If there's any hope of actual mechanically new content, such as jewels / runes and runewords / charms and the talisman / actual new ACTS or story, ect, it'l be in an expansion, which is two + years away.

I vote DH.

Oooooh, hahaha nice. Glad you figured it out!

Dumb question, but did you click the box to the right on that season page? I haven't gotten far enough this season to see if it's still a thing but I remember last season after a certain level you had to manually click the box to show the next stage of quests.

I just updated my razer stuff today, apparently it's been while. Works great though for D3. Nice touches imo, such as a color change when you've used a big CD like WoTB or Archon, and it flashes red when you're close to death / ect.

Also, had no idea OverWatch did the same thing with the keyboard; custom colors and setups for every hero, flashes for when you get your ult, cool things like sweeping colors when you're lucio ect.

But yea, OP, make sure you updated your firmware.
