Loot is a big part of Diablo 4 , and a game that also focuses on this Broken money Glitch is Warframe, a third-person shooter game set in a futuristic world. It's not very similar to Diablo 4 in many other ways, but fans after a slightly different experience should check this game

An almost grey filter has been placed on the screen, to give it a realistic yet highly fantastical aesthetic. Diablo IV returns to its gothic horror RPG roots, with more blood and horror embedded into the game, as well as absolutely stunning biomes you can discover at your own pace. We have to appreciate how Blizzard listened to its most devoted fanbase and decided to return to its good old gothic darkn

The first hints that the Druid would be added to Diablo 3 were not mere conspiracy theories by hopeful fans, but deliberate clues added into the Public Test Realm of the game, which a developer then hinted at for players to find through social media. Diablo 3 content-creator superstar Rhykker goes into detail on this matter, beginning with the Muddied Parchment as one such clue, reading "The words are illegible from the elements and what appear to be claw mar

Sure, Cain can identify that weird-looking short sword for you, but do you stay a while and listen? No, you’re always heading off on the next quest. Why the heck would you want to listen to him on your phone? Perhaps it's a good thing that Tristram doesn’t get a cell phone signal anym

Reading the above ideas about Diablo 4 may come off as pessimistic, but again, the point is to consider how a design for the next game would look with a revenue model that would satisfy Blizzard’s expectations, and that of its shareholders. Gone are the days of putting out a game with a single DLC pack and calling it a day. Blizzard, and many others, seek to produce games as a service, and Diablo 3 simply did not cut it. Let us cross our fingers and hope for the best, that Diablo 4 both meets our expectations and Blizzard’s - though it’s hard to imagine such an ideal landing spot for the next game.

An attempt to regress completely to the slower gameplay of Diablo 2 might make some veterans of the series happy, but it would likely be a rough adjustment for players who have stuck with Diablo 3 since 2012. Combat is going to need to find a balance for its endgame between the core identities of Diablo 2 and 3. The speakers during the BlizzCon panel did say that this was something they had in mind, but we can only speculate for now how that will look as the gameplay trailer likely only showed us characters who were still leveling up and without optimized endgame g

Blizzard’s current business model is to create games that demand an infusion of cash from their consumers for them to remain relevant in the content of the game, to for the company to justify its developmental resources. Take a brief look at the 2018 earnings below. See a pattern here? All of these games, including those of Activision, and Candy Crush, are always bringing in constant revenue.

While fans of the series are probably happy to hear that the next sequel is in the works, taking a good, hard look at how Blizzard has monetized its games for the long-term leaves little doubt that Diablo 4 will be anything but a constant cash grab. This is not pessimism towards the company or the series, but instead, an objective consideration of Blizzard’s other games, and how their games-as-a-service design manage to pull in revenue in a way that Diablo 3 could not.

It is hard to say if the implementation of another Auction House would be a good or a bad thing. At its core the reasons for which the Auction House was implemented were meant to improve upon the player experience and to prevent the need and use of third-party sites to conduct trades in the game. In practice this was a spectacular failure, but perhaps there is merit to revisiting the conc

As part of the Diablo II: Lord of Destruction DLC, the Druid was one of the two classes added to the game. They were a mixed bag of features from existing classes. They had the ability to grant auras like a Paladin, harness elemental magic like the Sorceress, and summon allies like the Necroman

Finally, Blizzard could also release new classes at halfway points between each expansion. They could start with a basic set of five classes, much like the release of Diablo 3 , and then add our old favorites again, including the Necromancer, Druid, Paladin/Crusader, Amazon, and whatever other fan-favorite classes would ensure another purchase. Unlike expansions, these would not be mandatory, but few would pass up a new class in their favorite game!

It almost feels like the game is being turned forcefully into an MMORPG similar to Blizzard's World of Warcraft , only the difference is its dark aesthetic and a different kind of lore and world. Hopefully, the fact that the social features are there won't take away from the game as a solid solo dungeon crawling experie
