now, what did i said before? nothing will be at gamescom, and a big announcement at blizzcon. my words, again, proved itself true.

i also said making d3x2 is a stupid idea, and it will be surely something not-related to d3. also not a card game, not hd remake, not anything connected to those simple things. it will be a BRAND NEW GAME. you will see that i ll be proven right again.

What the fu** do you expect ? A medal or something ?
Guessing... speculating... it's all pointless, and all hype should be kept at minimum.

isnt this happen 7 years ago ? they show'd diablo 3 with diablo 2 elements runes talents etc and remove it after release the game

im not rly hype for this crap think they gonna show something then lets wait another 5 years . after losing many core fans there no hope from blizzard ty

since they announced RoS at gamescom 2013, one couldn't really not think that this could be repeated. and since it was done so only one time, nobody could have predicted it with absolute certainty.
saying that they won't make a card game is easy. hearthstone is right there and blizzard wouldn't want to compete with that. the hd remake on the other hand is a safe bet, since they announced a starcraft remake.
sooo. that leaves you with a brand new game. in the diablo universe. which would be diablo 4. at this point, where nothing of value is added to diablo 3, that would be very nice. another expansion would be nice too, but it isn't a stupid idea.

i just can't get why they didn't say or show or at the very least tease A BIT of what is coming. it would create a positive hype for them. and if they really want to announce something at blizzcon, they should have something worked on already.

Last time they hyped Diablo, people were disappointed. They learned their lesson. Whatever they reveal, they know they have to release it within a year of their announcement, following how they released Overwatch, and avoid what they did for the release of vanilla D3 and Heroes of the Storm.

With how divided the community is about the franchise, all I can say is, they're damned either way.

Orrrrr.... They're just saving face and keeping people pulled in until that point at least because that's smart business and probaly nothing will happen still.

I'm tired of this "sorry, next time guys" shit. They say that because of big community dissapointment after no news about Diablo at Gamescom. Propably there will be nothing special, HD remake or something. @inkcheese, you say they learned their lesson. I learned my lesson too: never be hyped, so you never be dissapointed again.

The only time they even said anything abotu sorry next time was closing Blizzcon 2015 with a statement on the lines of "Expect HUGE things for Diablo at Blizzcon 2016"

They have something or several things well over 50-60% through development that they will discuss at Blizzcon.

i'm guessing next patch all sets will be balanced, no more legendary items without a power. Thougher boss fights

Blizzcon Season 8 announcement with unique map icons for every vendor!

And another new Season portrait that makes your paragon level unreadable. Again.

Seriously though it would have been nice if they'd at least bothered to say 'look forward to Blizzcon' or SOMETHING at Gamescon instead of keeping fans they knew were waiting for a potential announcement waiting for each segment.

Oh well, watching D2 was a cool retrospect kind of thing. I loved it in its day but looking at the game now, wow there is so much wrong with it that the rose tints forget.

Yeah, I agree on the D2 part, and seeing that they said we can expect a D2 HD remake at Blizzcon 2015, I bet they announce its release date relatively soon ( I am actually thinking that it might come out this year already, seeing that it is s imply a port, it does not need months of advertising.)

Regarding D3, I am beginning to think Xpac 2 has been completely scrapped for a new Diablo project. That being said, I look for them to have a major systems change patch coming in the next 6 months, as well as the addition of many of the new features that a 2nd xpac would have provided us.

I see Blizzcon being a trio for Diablo, having the D2 news and unvealing for HD. Having the MAJOR D3 changes incoming, and then lastly having a sneak peak at this new Diablo project, whether it be D4 or some other game (such as a Diablo style tower defense, or a Diablo style MMOARP, or both tbh!!!)

Hahaha, that's gotta be the most conceited post I've ever read. Would you like us to start calling you Hosanna, too?

My guess is still that at Blizzcon, they'll release some sort of DLC pack with an Act 6 campaign; whether free for paid. Finishing off the D3 story with one of the hand drawn styled cutscenes is kinda crappy and this will at least make the game somewhat complete. They don't have a game director atm so I doubt that it'll be the release of a fully fledged xpac with an increase in character level, new skills, new class, etc. There's a lot of work that follows post release with balancing that stuff but a new Act is doable.

Meanwhile, they'll probably showcase some legendary powers for the remaining items with no powers, and maybe another round of 6pc sets, one for each class, to look forward to in 2017... maybe an increase in stash tabs to 15? These things are small scale enough that someone at Wyatt Cheng's could oversee it.

There might be a tease of D4... maybe introducing the new game director if they've hired the person but I seriously doubt they'll be showcasing anything, just announcing that they're working on it and that it'll be released when it's ready.

I have it on good authority (a blizzard employee friend) that D3 is getting the necromancer class. I do not know more than that. The message he sent me is "D3 Necro Shh".

It's funny, because it's true!

Because I love to be disappointed, my theory on why they didn't say anything at gamescon about blizzcon is that they didn't want to step on gamescon's toes about THEIR convention. Maybe they were just being polite
