Blizzcon 2018 - A CLASSIC JOURNEY (Now Live)
- Thread starter Yoshichan
- Start date
im super unhappy about this being the only diablo announcement also but seeing things like this gives me a gross feeling in the pit of my stomach :/ just standing in front of a group of people who worked really hard on something (something nobody wanted, granted) and saying "this is bad and you should feel bad"
would hate for someone to do that to me.
I'd consider combat a fairly important mechanic, and Diablo 3 combat is endlessly better than PoEs.
But otherwise yeah, most of the different systems in PoE makes for a more fun experience, in a genre that was supposedly all about replayability and building new characters.
I have a ton of issues with PoE, and every time I try it, I get to the end game and get incredibly bored. But I do hope Blizzard learn some things from PoE when making Diablo 4.
In particular when it comes to variation in end game activities, and the importance of creating a build/identity for a character, and not just a blank class that can be whatever it wants within seconds.
Would also be great if they learned that complexity can be okay. But let us be honest, modern Blizzard wont learn that particular lesson.
You can just feel the anger rolling off of him as he asks it, too.
Don't do what Blizzard did and you won't have to worry about it.
It continues to resurface because it is janky. I am not a dev, I don't know wether the problem are the animations, the way the controls are mapped to them, something in their engine... But the end result is that it is not smooth. That's why people say it is janky. This is very obvious if you go back to back between D3 and PoE. Or at least it is very noticeable to me.
As I said, if you're an ARPG fan you either pick complex or pick smooth. That's my opinion on the subject.
I choose smooth gameplay and exploding stuff.
PoE is good in it;s own standard but to darn complex for me.
The problem isn't the game itself, it's okay if you want to do some money with it really. The problem is that they used the BlizzCon, an event made for the fan that lives thanks to the fan, to present an outsourced mobile game of a beloved brand
Sorry, they pissed out of the jar
And it hasn't since, like, 2007. Why people insist on bringing this up every single BlizzCon like it's some new revelation is baffling to me.
The opening ceremony, where they make all of these announcements, is free to watch and always has been.
I've got almost 2k hours in both games. D3 gets big dips in framerate as well, if that's what you mean, when things get hectic. "not smooth" is a vague term that I can't really respond to.
I think the gameplay is much more responsive and engaging in D3 personally, but I don't understand how anybody can call PoE "a janky mess" in its current state.
It's like they don't know their audience. Blizzard is so out of touch these days.
I know you're being sympathetic, but you totally made me think of this:
Make a battle.net game instead of single player and the mouse isnt locked to 25fps
This. If they thought they were going to get a positive reaction from this they were delusional, it's not the right place or time for it. If the did something like announce D2 Remastered then announced this a few months later then I don't think there'd be anywhere near as much outrage.
That guy in the black shirt doesn't deserve that. Poor dude.
they are on record saying features from mobile could come to diablo 3, i genuinely think they reset diablo 4 project recently and its now years away
They reset Diablo 4 a couple of years ago, but nothing recently.
This changed when activision "merged" with them which was many years ago now. The company that showed up today is the same one from the last 5+ years.
after them saying that i think dont think a d4 anouncement will come next year i think theres been a reset recently otherwise that comment is redundant
They really should have just saved the announcement and put it out as a video later on, they knew people would be pissed because you saved it until the end and you didn't have a real diablo game to announce along side it. Then having to sit down and talk with your audience who's pissed off at you makes it even more awkward!
This wouldn't surprise me. Earlier this year they started adding themes to seasons which I would imagine they wouldn't be doing if D4 was 12-18 months out from launch.
In around Summer 2016, but it's just that these types of Destiny/The Division games take a while to make.
Destiny was like 5-6 years for the first go, The Division and Anthem were both 7 years.
I suspect Diablo 4 is probably a 2020 game, and I imagine they kept some of the work they did, which would be about in line with others of this type.
Good to know that Blizzard's identity can be farmed out to trash tier smartphone outfits.
Blizzard isn't even making the mobile game so probably. Id actually be somewhat excited if this mobile diablo were a blizzard game and not a Netease game.
Same here, which is why I'm more than happy with sticking to Diablo 3 and Grim Dawn for now.
If he didn't know it would go this way then Blizzard is in trouble. Literally anyone with half a brain should have seen this reaction coming a hundred miles away
Bah, I'm done bickering.
This is the world we live in now. I'm just hoping they don't fuck D4. They won't? Right? Right?

I went to lunch immediately after the HS announcement (my main focus), but holy shit, this got downhill just as I left, I feel kinda bad for them, but they should have known what they went into when showing this at the end of the presentation and also the timing of the announcement (after people waiting for years on a new diablo game)

It is comforting in a way that even a corporate juggernaut like Blizzard can so fundamentally misjudge a product launch.
Here is a clip about no PC version and I think the response is really bad.
Not everyone wants to drain their phone battery playing games on it.
Of course once PC gamers realize this is a Netease game they will probably be better off not having access to it on PC.

Don't really understand the boos for the no pc version announcement. It looks like a gutted for mobile version of d3 anyway. No reason for that to be on pc.
If anything this shows they will mess up D4 just as bad as they did 3.

Noxx it is.
"Do you guys not have phones?" is a really stupid reply to an audience that is clearly frustrated already.
