On the one hand, there is absolute fuck ton that I like here. The iteration & distillation of D2's skills into separate skills & talents in D4 is solid ( this was done to create a separation between skills that were activatable and passives). I absolutely adore the art-style. Theres a clip of 2 wolves walking alongside the druid and the lighting and animation look nearly identical to the pre-rendered wolves from D2.
On the flip-side, I wish they didn't announce this just yet. I'm honestly just burned by long waits prior to release. I vastly prefer quick turn around times between announcement to launch. Hearing that even they aren't even trying to pretend this is anywhere close to launch deflates my hype. I haven't played a Blizzard game in a long time and with the exception of this, even with all that was announced today, I had no intention of playing any for the foreseeable future.
The wait just makes me want to swear them off all together.
Is my read on this correct so far? As a PoE vet from the streams I was browsing it seems like the talent system is almost like the PoE passive skill tree system, just more linear instead of a sphere grid and runes sort of seem like weird passive skill gems?
Why? Its disgusting
He said Skils and Itemization, not the game itself... And he's not wrong. The items are literally placeholder currently from Diablo 3, the only difference is runes.
Skills are still apparently tier based and can be swapped in and out like Diablo 3 as opposed to putting skill points into them and being unable to respec without punishment.
This Image is awesome. Thx for sharing.
Beautiful
Disgusting and beautiful
I knew it
He has such a distinctive voice. He was Bayek in Assassins Creed Origins
So fucking hyped for 4.0Chris Wilson (PoE lead dev) comments on Diablo IV
A body can only contain so much hype...
For context, they're revealing their huge 4.0 version of Path of Exile at Exilecon in 2 weeks, developed to compete with Diablo IV.
early 2023*
