My couch co-op buddies discovered it only takes one of us to have purchased the dlc to fire up the game and then others can join in and create a necro character. Even if the one who purchased the dlc then completey logs off the console, the others can still continue playing. Guess it's one way of saving money if you're a tight ass.
Geting all gear slots with primal ancients would be quite an accomplishment. Would indicate a significant amount of time has been spent playing the game. Perhaps such dedication should be rewarded?
How about a Primal Rage buff?
This could simply be a cosmetic effect. Maybe a red aura emanating from you character. Think dragonball z its-over-9000 powerup sort of thing.
And maybe as a token dmg effect, similar to the red soul shard, a periodic burst of aoe damage goes off (but without the dumb going dizzy afterwards).
Feel that getting a character fitted out with all primals deserves some credit.
Hey looking for some help building a demon hunter murader build, have been hunting for some stuff but having trouble finding a few key pieces, if anyone can help buy trading or idk if ur cool with duping some gear I could use the help my gamertag for ps4 is darkshogun311 u can message me back there
Players like you are the reason I no longer play on PS4.
It is a shame that public online games are compromised. However couch co-op still makes D3 an awesome game on console and thankful Blizz continues to support it.
Assume ban will be deterrent for cheaters, expect a terms of agreement acknowledgement thing when connecting to seasonal. Likely not much cooperation from Sony they are not interested in discouraging ppl from subscribing to psn.
Maybe they could make some new leg gems only usable by the followers and have them confer buffs to your character or debuffs on monsters (no real point giving the follower increase dps since they do irrelevant dmg and there's already the items which prevent death).
Perhaps some of those monster affixes - reflect dmg for instance, give the monsters a taste of their own medicine.
When seasons come to consoles for Season 10 it shall be interesting...I know hundreds of players in legit communities who will play...and IF Blizzard get the online saves right where it eradicates duping and modded gear then the console version of D3 will be quite "pure" in terms of cheaters because you cannot bot on consoles.
Interesting you made a disctinction of "online saves". Would it be a case where a player's "seasons data" (if thats the correct way to describe it) will be quarantined from the rest of their default/non-season offline local data?
So I'm thinking along the lines of there's a check and balance for a seasonal character as it interacts with the online server, but what is currently on local saves will remain and modders are confined to merrily messing about outside of the seasonal leaderboards.
PC - people complain about everything, good or bad.
Consoles - people complain about modding.
To those worried about modding on consoles - go to Tier 12 or less - most modders go to Tier 13. Or just make your own lobby.
I guess overall, PCer's feel entitled to better stuff because they have to 'grind' every inch of the way, while consoles the grind isn't as bad. Easier to get better drops, trading is easily available (duping as well), and you don't have to spend every waking hour to accumulate the amount of hours to get to the same Paragon level.
I really like those who contribute with meaningful constructive criticisms, offering insights for improvements. Very much dislike commentary offering no value, confined to "it's not what I want" or "why isn't it like whatever other game..." .
I just can't understand why someone would continue to play the game if it is such an affront and offence to them.
Either skill need to be nerfed, or defense buffed for PvP to work properly. Not sure whether this would be better done through PvP items that focus on balancing it, or direct stat changes (much like how they balance things out for apprentice mode).
Agreed, one-shot pot-luck doesn't make for very good good PvP. Unless it's a deliberate 'draw first blood' mode...
If it's too difficult to balance players into a PvP situation, they may as well just set a base line when entering a battle arena. If the struggle to balance players is to somehow artificially maken them equals, just ignore the factors that create the power level differences in the first place. In effect, make everyone play with same toughness and dmg potential. Regardless of which class, all primary.skills do same dmg, all secondaries do same dmg etc. Limit effects of bonuses from green sets and legendaries to perhaps things such as rate of cast (reduced resource, cooldown, more charges) but leave behind those monstrous dmg multipliers.
Instead of balancing "my" character (say paragon 10 with no ancients) against "your" character (paragon 2000 full ancients), balance the classes themselves into PvP mode and then everyone would be competing with the same power levels.
This places the focus on players winning through mastering the class' abilities and highlights player skill.
Diablo 3 is much batter on console especially playing 4 player couch co-op. Blizzard just needs to make sure they can fix the duping/modding problem on consoles. Anyways these are what I expect for the future of Diablo 3...
*Fix the duping/modding problem.
*Release a PS4 Pro version with "Pro enhanced" (4k resolution or/and maximum graphical settings.
*Release Diablo 3 on Nintendo Switch.
*Release character pack - Path of The Druid.
*Add more zones and monsters.
*Add Ladder PvP with more arena/brawl zones.
*Add more sets/legendary items.
*Add offline support for PC
*Revamped the Paragon system.
*Add a cool option do deign your own rift challenge "Rift editor".
*Add cross-platform play with console players.
*Reintroduce a trading system.
I still can't believe PvP is not fun as it should of be in Diablo 3. I played the Arena System at Blizzon 09. It was the very thing I looked forward to playing Diablo 3 many years... Rift runs aren't bad its just sad that there is no Ladder Arena PvP still... We get Necromancer but no real PvP WTF.
Look. This is how blizzard could fix the current PvP and evolve it to Ladder Arena PvP.
Step one - Add PvP only items.
Step two - Add PvP only ability runes.
Step three - Add PvP only passive traits.
Step four - Add more PvP zones.
Step five - Remove Paragon from PvP.
There. The "PvP only" items, abilities, and traits can be added to existing ones and to new by patches.
PVP isnt that important to me, but can appreciate the dynamic it adds to the game.
As a kooky idea, what if they took a mario kart-esque approach. Have pylons in the battle arena, which confers buffs and debuffs for a short time, including ones that the monsters have. So you could have reflect damage or zero resource cost or desecrator or speed etc
i don't know how anyone can expect anything from this game after the 4 1/2 years it's been out.
I appreciate any new content they can add; whether it is any good is up for debate, but support for the game has been there and we've had all this free content patch after patch. The game may have flaws but from a value for money perspective it is right up there.

Always backup your local file before doing anything major, then you can reload if something goes wrong.

Looks like these also exists in console but portraits isnt a thing on console so whats the point?
Both of these appear as cosmetic items you obtain upon completon of the quests. Are they intending to add portraits when seasons hit consoles?

Will additional stash space be tied to seasonal progression on console?
Previously for each patch where additional stash became available it was a purchase with in game gold.
