1:35:00 So your forcing builds now?

Immense shame that the team has to keep changing things because the ‘community’ is a bunch of screaming toddlers and lazy teens. If the community keeps having it’s way the game will become mindless f2p garbage.

We need Colin every time and Rod never again.

Can we just get Colin talk alone for all future livestream? Also give him the power for this game if you want to save it. He knows what’s up.

I predict this update with finally make D4 a mid game.

Honestly, find a better place for mount banners. Off the back of the saddle maybe, so it’s not blocking your toon. I never use them as they are placed so terribly.

We need to stop making new characters EVERY SEASON

Let us ZOOM in less as well. i like to play a barb zoomed in so i can appreciate the art work but it zooms in too far. Make ZOOM 5-8 different distances… PLEASE!!!!

More Colin please – finally someone at Blizzard who actually plays the game and knows what we want. Let him shine!

haha should have kept the audio on 😂

I wouldn’t mind Greater Rifts returning.

I’ll be giving it another go. I’d like to be able to do end game stuff before rushing the story. I finish it by rushing through it to the end have they got bored

How do you ask a question for the Q & A? I’ve been asking the same question since the game launched (console keyboard and mouse support) and had nothing.

The problem is… If all these new mechanics work and if they do… If they work correctly! Blizzard is “infamous” in this!

Sweet.

also make more costumes in the game, weapon effects, skill effects, fire armor set, ice armor set, and more.. so we can buy it.. dont focus on steel armor only, add effects on it it so it will be worth to buy.. like wolf mount, and more.. wings, powerful item effects…

also add a SWAP BUILD, automatically will change all the skill and the paragon and the items.. just like D3

can you add a PERMANENT CAMERA, not zooming in and out, for example on the towns, so we can see the NPC’s Better, also can you make a ZOOMOUT similar to the HORSE for players who want it, so we can see everything in the game the monsters the NPC the things we want to see, like a ZOOMOUT+ option a Horse View distance, so we dont keep on zooming out and in.. please make this change.. its not about PVP, its how we will enjoy the game.. thank you! we love you Devs! we still playing because we believe in you…

Hope everyone will report the tempering q&a question…It would be very nice for tempering system to be like the enchanting system…. let’s keeping our previous roll or decline the tempering.

At least we know there’s still some devs who listen and care about what the players want. More of Colin please. Hopefully a few more seasons or by vessel of hatred the game will be in a good spot. I’ll wait patiently 😄

Not even one million subs. Wow…D4 has fallen really hard. It’s true, you live & DIE by your reputation.

I see Colin, I press like. D4 is saved.

Joe Piepora is such a daddy. Undo an extra button on your shirt Joe! Lol

Codex change is huge guys. Keep the good things coming . Just don’t forget classic wow :3

I’ve read an article not so long ago, that discusse the aspect of failing the release and then creating a “redemption” roadmap. It portrayed this phenomena as another part of the marketing and a way to monetize the game and keep the money flow alive… so not sure I like that, I guess everyone loves a redemption story but I am getting tired of seeing a redemption roadmap to every single AAA game that gets “releaseD”

Here is an extra dose of positivity, you all truly deserve it. S4 will be great, keep up the good work !

ah there it is haha that guy never plays the game

i NEED IT IN SWICH T:T

Has anyone ever pointed out how much Adam Fletcher sounds like Randall Park? I keep expecting him to talk about Wellington Systems… I can’t unhear it… But it makes these campfires more awesome…

Skip animation is silly- why add an animation that isn’t important and just delays the result?
Just make the character do some sparkly stuff that you don’t have to wait for. Diablo is in the gameplay screen, not in the UI when upgrading equipment.

Actually enthusiastic to play this season. Haven’t felt that since before launch. Guys are doing well with the situation they’ve found themselves in. Hope to see more great things to come, as I was soooo excited to play this before launch.

Can’t wait!

Hey guys, is there any scope to bring a keyboard and mouse option in to console? Can’t afford a gaming PC but miss playing OG Diablo style with the mouse!

clowns

Still in beta. Sure, other games have been around for 10 years. But diablo 4 came out in such a basic form like they haven’t been developing for 10 years….

This is great.
What’s wrong with you people moaning about everything. Don’t you have mobile phones?

Why they doggin on Colin for being prepared and organized… He brought a book because he had some important stuff to say that the players actually care about

Your WoW team already has the cosmetic system laid out for you. Shows every boss, boss location and what they have a chance of dropping. Not like it’s new, so I don’t understand what you have to think about. Just throw in a quick basic UI and upgrade it later.

Please, please, please do not give builds as rewards… All magic of feeling that you have achieved something when getting a build is when you actually put some effort in finding all pieces. If you give it like that, whole magic is gone for me. That was the thing that I did not like about D3 at all.

I have sunk HUNDREDS of hours into this game and haven’t had a single Uber Unique drop and neither has a single person I play with. What does Blizzard expect people to do, how many hours should we have to grind to start experiencing some top tier loot?

At a certain point it just feels useless to turn the game on and that Blizzard has made playing the game more of a chore than anything else. I will never be able to convince my crew to come back to this game especially with a season dropping with no new content. SMH I’m done beta testing!

lol, where is season ?

Rare ancestral should have 4 affixes

Great, Diablo is still sleeping. Well done everyone.

Where them cows at? 😑

Wow! Diablo 4 at launch was similar to d3 and now they reverted it to be diablo 3 reskinned. Good luck turning it into something really appealing.

Gave up on season 1…is it worth playing anymore?

Make barb ww viable again

Miss d4 so much. may14 cant come soon enough. very good changes. congratz devs

“We’re everywhere ” Switch 2 confirmed 👍

Dropping comments as I go but, My strategy to gear was collecting yellow rares to get my stats and imprint an aspect to upgrade to legendary. If Yellow has 2 affix, I accept the challenge to look for legendary I suppose.

Colin and Adam Jackson, the real MVPs of Diablo 4! Super excited for this season 🙂

Great changes and another lame sezon…

Can someone please start a metal band called “Damage on Tuesdays?” Thank you.

Really love the game looking forward to this season thank you

😀😀😃😃😃

They should fix the trophies problem when you change to new generation consoles

After watching this wonderful ‘presentation’ I have but just one question, why wasn’t the loot system this way at launch?
It’s starting to feel like you purposely release an inferior product at first knowing players will buy it and then “update” the game to it’s intended play-style in order to garner good will and faith (and more money).

we’re slowly going back to 99% of ur dmg coming from your gear and many skills feeling more cosmetic like d3…man…go back to d2 itemization, skill trees, and meaningful attributes that change character functionality and just be about dmg-def. this isnt a mobile game, the ip has roots in complexity and depth by layering simple features…meh. at this point make the battle passes available in eternal & let old battle passes be purchasable (cosmetic track at least) = more money

well…we’re slooowly relearming all the lessons the D3 team learned…and still making the same mistakes…pre-determined sets every season….yuck

I had my hopes up high that the game is going to redeem itself with the itemization rework but so many aspects of this change remind me of the unfun chores of d3 that finally led me to quit it, many years ago. I’m sad to see that blizzard is seemingly repeating the bad choices that were made for d3.

D4 almost ready for release.

so we have crafting potential, greater rifts, blood harvest rogue exiles are back, projectile screens. That’s honestly great.
Suggestion for uniques: we can have a crafting option that has a chance to add “tainted implicits” or brick the item

Thx for the feedbacks, I’m late to the party for Season 3 but I’m enjoying it, if I got one thing I want to say Devs pleased add an option to use Keyboard & Mouse on Consoles.

Put some effort into D2R!

Colin is the hero we need

typical Diablo, months after release still searching for an identity… Gz for making the biggest Rpg Action Franchise so small. PotE seems years ahead in end game !

Tips blizzard! Future content! lets ut zoom out the camera!! Create items that look realistic, remove the background color of items, and create items that take up inventory, it becomes important what to save on. Look at diablo2, items take different places depending on the size of the weapon or armor. Fix the graphics on items, like Diablo2 resurected it looks so much better. Add more spells to the bar so we can use, up to 10-15 spells that creatings more builds! =))

At first i was like who is this 15years olds with the sheets to learn from to an exam. And than he started to talk. Okay Colin for Blizzard president!

Can use Microphone everywhere? i want open my music haha.

Where is season 4, where is the seasonal content? It’s trash again! What to do for 3 months? Why do we need eternal world instead of a season?

@Microsoft Just remove xbox Live Mandatory for D4 online play. It doesn’t seem fair for people who paid 100 USD for the online game at launch, and now it’s available on a monthly pass. 😢

“A PTR is great because it means we don’t need to hire QA testers.”

PLEASE BLIZZARD!!!!!! UP THE DROP RATE OF UBER UNIQUES

Love that you’ll get legendary gear for a build so you can go in and start farming with the season journey. Reminds me of the Diablo 3 cashes.

D4 is the best love you devs!

necro:mad truck

Will you guys be taking a page out of the Helldivers book, and allow Platinum to drop from certain instances? Maybe small amounts (10-50?) from Ladder Bosses, Treasure Goblins, high level Pit runs, or even Tormented Ladder Bosses? It would be super cool to be able to farm transmogs without pulling out my wallet. My wife and I have spent a significant amount of our limited income on Battle Passes every season, class transmogs, and mount skins, and while we love this game and don’t mind supporting something we love, it would be nice if you guys could pay Platinum forward to dedicated players of your game. Just food for thought!

It is nice that you reduced the material costs of imprinting aspects. It will also make respec’ing into a new build way easier. My wife and I really enjoy trying out different builds in the late game and throughout our seasonal journey, but man has that been frustrating in past seasons. It used to feel like you had to save up resources for weeks to make a major build change. I am hopeful that this will no longer be the case. Thank you!

This was very comfortable to watch, its totally different from before. The devs are exited of their own game and it shows. And this Colin fellow, seems to know exactly how to get diablo 4 at its max potential! 👌

47:15 “You must construct additional Pylons!” We require more Vespene gas!”

So, to be clear; the aspects from legendary gear should be saved to get their aspects? Also, will this feature work for both realms?

Just a thought: you could give Unique Items a higher Item Power cap. That would mean that your Ancestral Legendary items are capped at 925 IP, but a Unique Item could drop at a raised cap (possibly with the potential for higher affix rolls than Ancestral Legendary items) of 1050 or 1100. Uber Unique Items could always drop at the new max IP, too. This would make Unique Items desirable, and this would give players something else to chase in the late game. It would also give players alternative ways to min/max their builds since the greater amount of Armor or Resistances would mean they could drop affixes that contribute to those stats on their other pieces of gear, their Skill Tree, or in their Paragon Board. I’m not an expert or a developer; it was just an idea! I think you guys are doing a great job. My wife and I can’t wait for Season 4!

Only thing that sucks is the wait 😅😅 this looks awesome! Save us Mother , Guide us Father

Nice update, looking forward to play S4

Bossess lvl 200 how are we suppose to kill them?:O

TLDR: Sorc nerfed before Season 4. Season 4 is dead to me.

I can not believe they just left the pit entrance where it was in the ptr. Not in the middle or the square or a dedicated spot, they just drop it in the middle of town in q completely out of place spot…

Cant wait !!! Finally again in my favourite Game !!! Thx for this all these Years !!!

Diablo 1 >Diablo 2 >diablo 4

Colin Finer looks so fine 😍

And still no loadout info? tired of switching gear around. D3 had it why not in d4 yet

Can we get a petition to fire Rod ” Monetary Predator” Ferguson?

when are we getting Sets???

Is there a reason that you include the 30 minutes of “Starting Soon” in the YouTube video? Seems like a waste.

I am a Sorc fan. Overall these are great changes. Only nit pick is, it was made clear they understand we want to “blast” through the game, but they give the Sorc static incinerate journey gear. Which is static standing still play style…hust saying. Seriously overall think these are great changes.

Colin “C-Money” Finer is the hero we’ve needed all along

only 18 rewards for the Iron wolves? That’s kinda lame…

Why weaken wizards

Give Ethernal folks content too is a good way, I can’t be a top player anymore, I don’t have irl time for that.

This update seems great.
Been a Diablo player since D1 in the late 90s.
My buddy and I are about to take a week off of work for this, haha.
Can’t wait.

It would be funny if they kept swapping chairs each time they show a gameplay clip.

Haedrigs gift

Ok i love this but what is the actual season mechanic because this is just what was in the ptr more balanced but is there an actual season mechanic or something because this all will be in eternal too so there is no point to play seasonal mode wothout a new mechanic. But still i love this season so far!

Fells like Diablo 4 Reborn (FF14 reference for those that know :P)

I didn’t know that Guillermo from What we do in the shadows went to work for Blizz, good for him!

I think it would be a cool interaction if scoundrels kiss also added the gernade tag to rapid fire

Not sure if blizzard reads these can you make other uniques craftable like the Ubers but they have their own spark like a lesser spark ?

Huge fan of the franchise, love D4, so thankful for the changes. The feeling of salvaging a ancestral legendary item into iron scraps was painful, thanks for the change to salvage.

Really excited to jump back in and play season 4. So many great changes! Just a personal unrelated request, can we have mounts that aren’t just recolored horses? They’re quite uninspiring vs other games where I’m genuinely excited to earn a new mount. Just my own personal opinion of course. But awesome job here!

I know this game was a huge success but please just focus on Diablo 5 the interest in this game is not there.

Wow who knew testing the game pre release could improve overall game experience…

Next update maybe put diablo in a diablo game….

I love how the lead class designer is wearing a “Damage on Tuesdays” T-Shirt. Well, played.

What happened? To vessel of hatred. And the new character that coming out?

Shut up adam

I ain’t gon lie not feeling these caps🧢

Any new paragon boards for each class ? Will the level go up to get more skills points as well

Trash game

Ok give Colin the reigns. He can turn this ship around.

None of this matters though if we still have create new character every season!

season theme where xd?

3 oppertunities for resplendent, good. hopefully it keeps coming with coming seasons journeys. cos my account seems busted when it comes to finding an uber unique…

Fantastic job guys!

Overall poor approach.

Season of fixes without an actual season theme like previous seasons.

Fixes should be done outside season content. There should be a season theme and fixes not season of fixes.

I don’t try to be disrespectful here but you really don’t understand game you are working on.

we need diablo 1 resurrected

Dear Blizzard! It’s already better))
1. More end game content starting at level 50+.
2. More variety of Bosses and wandering Bosses in the open world – as well as hunting for them
3. Get a partner from the Iron Wolves.
4. More content in the Eternal World – for those who do not want to play Seasons
5. PvP We ask for Arenas of 1×1, 3×3, 5×5, 10×10 sizes.
6. New game classes.
7. Add content from D2, D3 and Diablo Immortal.

Love the changes, although making the entire season about them seems pretty lazy if you know what I mean. Really hoping for some proper new activity in a mid-season patch.

Colin should be a mainstay from now on on the panel.

Thank you to Adam Fletcher for organising these Developer update videos. They are my perfect source of development news, I love everything about how these videos are put together and I wish other game studios would do the same. Also, congrats to all the Devs and studio members that fought for the season 4 changes. These changes are great for the player community and obviously great for the morale of the Diablo team. Really appreciate everything you are doing with Diablo and for the fans.

I’m 100% certain, Timothy could make some sick Arnold Schwarzeger impressions. His voice is like spot on and all he needs is a bit of a German accent 😀

The greater poe2 killer has arrived!!!!

but then again, you can’t kill whats already dead. poebad

Concerned you’ve made the game much to easy – but willing to give it a 2nd try!

and all it took to do this was to get rid of one greedy goblin.. ah..
cant wait

D4 sucks. Give me D2 expansion!

I love how they let them talk freely. It makes me feel like we are led by players

Ofg the codex of power update is the best thing that’s gonna happen to D4. I have 2 whole stash of those aspects and full inventory. I love to seitch up builds

I got to say the whole time Joe pipora was talking I couldn’t understand half of what he said The dude talks way too fast and kind of mumbles his words together

Colin 2024

Guillermo?

Let’s just be sure we didn’t overnerf visuals for the sake of people who refuse to upgrade their GPUs. Take full advantage of the sliders, and if I want to cut my FPS in half because of effects, I should be able to.

Am I the only one that noticed the awkwardness between the upper leadership? 🤔

Keep up the good work guys!
Looking forward to it!

The video is choppy for some reason despite being in 1080p60fps

Beznadzieja. Nie kupujcie tego gówna! Nie dajcie zarabiać komuś, dla kogo nie są ważne gry. Komuś kto robi gry dla kasy, a nie gry od graczy dla graczy…. Blizzard is Dead! 💀👎

greater affixes need a distinct sound when they drop and a different color for the dopamine alone. It also helps organization, but mostly, its good for that moment you hear the sound and see the off color item. Even if its just a slightly different shade of color. It makes a difference.

Add ubers to gambling!!

Load outs next you goons 🤣

Too less talented than the Diablo series developers of the past

LetsGO ROGUES!!! They should make a link for clan members to all go to the same world boss instance 😀

and?

The best gameplay i had in d4 was when the druid could do a double pull and suck all monsters close and then i come in with penshot and. Blow everything up 😂😂❤❤❤

Love the new guy! Still dislike the voice of the guy to the left. Plz dont have him on next time.

Eternal Realm is for Noobs.

so the Beta has finished right ? I want to thank you but also want to say you should have waited 1 year to launch, because now all my friends don’t play and I’m alone and feel bad because I love your game !

D4 is back and climbing up the ladder lessgooo 😁✨️ let’s face it, haters are still gonna hate, let em 🐸

if joking around with a dungeon full of cows, why not have a “sanctuary news paper” of sort where you check where all the cosmetics can be obtained, or make them area specific? just wondering

the most relaxed stream from the devs
freedom finally speaks through their energy! <3

bring those d2 inspired runewords back! awesome stream btw, hyped 100% for s4

Thanks I love it I can’t wait to play

Thank you for finally listening to what we want and let’s keep up the great changes and good work. Thank you I’m really hype about all of this.

Colin is for the players!

nice updates, but there is no season 4 contents

Great stream guys! Super excited to jump back in! I also think the idea of being rewarded a set build to help players in their journey is a fantastic idea. This season sounds like a huge win for D4!

I been masterworking twice a day since I was 13

good stuff

I will not play this game again until set items are back

This felt like 40 minutes of Joe talking before someone else says anything. Summarize, Joe

Awesome changes all around guys but can i please request the ability to summon bosses back to back without having to reset dungeons everytime? Nothing makes doing the same thing over and over agin more tedious than unnecessary downtime i.e. multiple load screens. Please consider this as it would make a great QoL update.

When you temper, it should make you lose the previous reroll. You spent the currency to attempt it, so you already lost/paid a price. Making you then lose the dice roll, THEN have to deal with those consequences while also paying the cost, doesn’t seem like it belongs in Diablo.

Exciting updates. This is what I call season of lesson learned. implementing a lot of ideas and solution readily available out there taken from previous diablo game and other ARPG in the market. A good game does not have to reinvent the wheel. Taking all the best and notable feature and solution from other ARPG and innovate on it to be better. It is what blizzard does best.

best part was 1:26:20 when i herd a blizzard employee legit book an appointment to HR

I can’t help but feel like they created the problem and sold us the solution a year later. At the very least, having to rework the game less than a year into its life cost us a potentially interesting/fun season theme or mechanic.

The pit is basically a monster corridor with increasing numbers and the uber boss grind is the same with bigger numbers. Disappointed that there is nothing engaging end game wise to use this new loot on.

D4 Win

They need to fix the transmog bug for the sorcerers staffs, so annoying.

wow it still looks so boring

Overall the game is getting better ty devs D4 Good ALWAYS!!

❤❤❤

Amazing, so excited to play it

Colin…..that is all

the skip button was in the PTR but it didnt fully work… you clicked it and still had to wait

I know there’s a bit of aloof corporation effect for microsoft and blizzard.. but something your bosses missed the mark with… id say… maybe.. 94% of the game is so easy that loot doesn’t even create the smallest interest/need/pulse rate.. and any difficult content you have to explicitly misconfigure the game to achieve.. normal gameplay its impossible to ever see it… so … what ?! Loot?!? why?!?? You guys look terrible.

Can’t wait for them to nerf fun things again. That’s why I don’t play anymore.

I do strongly suggest allowing various body shapes At some point – really does help immersion.

Colin seems like a gamer. I’m happy to see a true gamer on the Dev team. I bet he would use more than one button to play D4 unlike devs in their previous videos.

Literally the best developer update so far, genuinely excited to return after the last terrible season and updates thus far. Btw, Colin is a great addition. Let’s hope it can stay consistent from now.

note: only one thing i had an ick to on the video is the season journey druid pulverize build, let the man cook with lightning for once – tired of seeing pulverize

So that $100 DLC will be more now?

The Devs just forgot the Season Theme

I cannot believe you guys changed Frozen Orb from being a set distance to click- to-detonate. Unbelievable.

Please, we need more Colin in Campfire chats.

Every game where we talking about level of character – ruin for me if monsters have autolevel.

– Also 100% need offline mode.
– Also 100% need mercenaries.
– Also 100% need true summoner class.

What about new class who can take many mercenaries and he choose class for them and loot. Somekind Employer class.

Did I hear an F bomb at 1:26:24? 🥰

Always look forward to the highschool powerpoint.

crusader when?

Skill rework is needed now. The game is still along way from being what it should be

Any news about the new class?

Thank you guys so much! The game is already awesome and I can’t wait for season 4. It’s going to be epic.

I love that there are people who like D4It means I can find someone to sell my account to. I know its against the Blizz policy but who cares. The game is as easy as it gets and what they do – they buff your stuff even further

Joey P is so awesome

Ojala arreglen al nigromante 🤞🏻

800% extra value
8% more zoomed out

Great job guys. The stream was a massive W…. bring on S4 loot reborn can’t wait.😊

So hyped for the changes, looking great!

Community: “That’s a lot of Resplendent sparks”
Some other designer: “Lemme Tell you about Dev Tools” (We just cheated)
Colin: “That’s actually my account on Live” 😎 (Hand farmed them all, cuz he’s the GOAT)

I wish they did clan changes… ugghh

D4 > Last Epoch and POE

This is HUGE boys. I don’t think we’re there yet to compete with something like PoE 2 next year, but this will for sure be the most enjoyable season for me. Might actually get a character to 100!

D4 is sick, I love D2 and D3 as much as anyone but let them do their thing, this is a major improvement

I really hope this game is not turning into a 1 shot simulator. Things I have heard sounds like it will, and things you said here sounds like it wont. Please, let us actually fight monsters

Hey guys you need 4 Uber sparks but we only going to give you 3. Cos we really thought this through. Wow how out of touch can you be.

The rapid fire thing with cursor is great but that doesn’t work for console player. Console don’t have cursor which they can’t benefit from it. 1:02:21

Hey Joe. Just make a transmog compandium, where to find them, wich monsters drop them and how high/low the dropchance is.
Maybe even set some of them in the store for those who don´t want to farm everything, but have exclusive ones, wich can only be farmed, for the purists. Quite simple.

This is looking pretty good

Good job team. Credit where credit is due.👍😁

Wait a minute so in the pit the monsters don’t have any abilities? They just melee/ranged, he said no cc no affects? That doesn’t make sense

no more new skill? still old skill for 4 ss ? WTF are u doing with alot ppl ?

cut the price of the game ! make it cheaper guys !!!

Hoping for a fun season. See ya in game.

Lets go! cant wait to play S4

Is it finally playable?

Diablo IV i lost interest in this game 🙁 i can’t go back i’m done with blizzard always lying to me about changss are great and its just all bs

I’m worrying about the extremely low armor cap. I don’t want Diablo to become a purely optimization machine. I want to be able to choose a class fantasy to fulfill it. If I want to go glass cannon then I want to have huge amounts of damage at the cost of defense and if I want to build a tank then I want to be able to build huge amounts of defense at the cost of damage. The cap seems really easy for all players and characters to achieve so then what is separating different characters, Making them unique?

Nice work on making the game better devs thank you so much… ❤😈❤

I really want load outs?? 🙏

Damage on Tuesdays t-shirt rocks… 😀 😀

Damage on Tuesdays being a joke… you wasted people hours of their lives over bad managed design concepts…

Unironic D4 win

watch one week gonna be like season 3 fken boring and players drop off
How can you be excited when WE WAITED 6 MONTHS FOR THIS WHEN SHOULD OF BEEN ALONG THE WAY
THIS ISNT A SEASON ITS FIXING FK UPS THEY made

The town is lava?.. I would argue that one of the most iconic parts of the experience in the earlier Diablo series is ‘being in town’ and talking to the townsfolk and their horrific experiences and stories from out in the wild or the loss of their loved ones, the flavoring before going into a dungeon where for example you speak to the dying townsman in Diablo 1 is such a nice touch. Sifting through your inventory and checking out what Adria has for sale and hoping for that ‘book’ that teaches you a new skill or staff of teleport is a nice part of the game, but also just talking to townsfolk in the right order will unlock you some new quest. I really hope you will re-consider this chain of thought and enhance storytelling/town events instead of just endlessly slaying meaningless monsters that have no backstory or running ‘dungeons’ endlessly for loot, yes that part is important but i would argue both of ingredients make a really good game and i feel that the balance is shifting way too much towards ‘Staying in the field and slaying’. As a Magic The Gathering, DnD an Diablo Player i really love the lore or flavor text behind certain items and creatures and stuff and it’s nice that some of the town can help guide me through what is going on. I guess for me, the town is the safehaven where i can step back, STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN and regenerate myself for the next intense dungeon experience. The town is that tranquility and safe space to contrast that harsh and dangerous wilderness that is the dungeons. When everything is skewed to always be turned up to 11 (constantly slaying demons) it is really easy to become disconnected/desensifief or numb from the monster slaying experience and it loses all power and really degrades the experience. So rather then the town is being lava and something that should be avoided, i would say the town is more like salt and pepper. It adds that bit of flavour to your daily routine and spices things up by slowing things down. In a world where everything is already going so fast, it’s okay to escape and slow it down now and then. If i wanted fast, speedy things i would roll Need for Speed or some other racing game.

The game of my life. Cannot thank you enough guys ❤

Happy about the chnages an d i like them. But then i read the patch notes, i missing few stuff. First of all, i don’t the tempering manual changes the all the new affixes and changes, when you said you rebalance that. Also i didn’t all the new uber unique chances to every boss on boss ladder. Would love then the team will addit it.

I don’t know guys… I preordered D4, I played in beta and was unimpressed, tried to play at launch but got bored quickly, then I did it again at the end of season 3. I managed to do the campaign, tree of whispers, got to WT4, then it did not feel fun to go on. I want and insist to like the game but it is somehow boring. I got tired of D3 which I played almost every season for 30 seasons. Although graphics is better in D4 after a while this does not seem noticeable any more. Dungeons in D4 are imo worse than in D3 …carrying 2 stones to open a door may seem like a cool idea but only on the surface …it is ultimately useless. Gear stats and Paragon, …more complicated than it needs to be… endless possibilities is more or less chaos and inconsistency …yea, I am a late complainer, but I am frustrated to see this game not being fun.

Everything sounds pretty good! Can’t wait to play S4

Adam Jackson’s shirt 😂😂😂

“Failed chance… We took it out” = Win!
Also, Good job on first stream Colin.

WHY THE DEVS DOESN’T BALANCE CHAIN LIGHTNING SKILL????

WHERE ARE THE DEVS??

I can’t understeand why the devs doesn’t buff chain lightning skill?

WHAT IS HAPPEN HERE?????

Thanks to the whole team for your constant efforts.

I knew this kind of update was coming. I played D1, D2, D3, this is the Diablo pattern. I’m super hyped for season 4, I can’t wait!!!!

Joe Piepiora is too corporate and uptight. I find myself zoning out whenever he starts yapping — would love to see less of him in these campfire chats going forward.

the baal statue in the background. is that for sale anywhere?

Colin is a vibe.

Great job. Thanks!

Please add goblin portals from Diablo 3 !

Thank you!

d4 = matrix 4

I love watching everyone’s thoughts behind the changes made. The transparency this dev teams shows is refreshing to watch, and with transparency comes a certain level of vulnerability, so i have mad respect for doing this. I can tell the group working on this game is passionate and I just want to say that don’t let the haters get to you!
I am so excited to jump back in on my lvl 100 necro and see if he can tackle the pit, and also leveling a new character (thinking barb) and seeing how the journey to max power has changed! This feels Iike Christmas haha!

The only people who hate this upcoming season are PoE players who are just mad that their current league is a craft league. Granted there are some things like some nerfs to some skills that make me raise an eyebrow but overall these are changes needed for the game. Cry more PoE players or just go back to farming for scarabs for hours on end for the love of God.

WHERE ARE THE BUFFS FOR CHAIN LIGHTNING SKILL????

was i the only one who didnt mind the masterwork failing?

Last D4poch

I have 980 hours in this game and I have yet to get an Uber, so now I get to have 3 sparks sitting in my account and it teasing me that I won’t get an Uber even more, great!

What is the point in having a CDR cap % if it’s not the actual global cap they are adding a Tooltip cap that won’t ever actually be correct WTF have they not listened to a word anyone has been saying about Tooltips not disapplying accurate info XD

So they fix wolves but Necro Minions are still dogshit.

@1:19:34 lmao the smug look on Colins face as he looks as his prepared notes 🙂

But you still haven’t add WASD control…..

Let Colin control the future of the game, he knows what players want.

them saying its a joke all jokes are funny is crazy didnt that company just have a woke employees cleanse to fire all them folk

Alright, I finally feel ready to pour myself entirely into this! PTR was great and the improvements sound right on point.

Loot reborn is the season lol really 😂

the best change of this patch in one word: COLIN.
I realized he was really a diablo player after 3 words.

LET COLIN COOK

Best dev stream in a good while, and i’m actually excited to jump right back in again

no rest for the wicked…

Please, no Haedrig’s gift…

Looks good guys. Nice job

Great work! Keep the improvements coming, listen to the community, take the W, & don’t take your eye off the ball!!

he said it guys.. AS U SCALE INTO THE PIT. 53 MINS…. IN THE VIDEO. REMOVE THE SCALING GENIUS. PROBLEM FIXED

IF I FIND A SHAKO only the stats should roll. not the item power lvl omfg….

the reason why they one shot u is because of the scaling. ite ruining everything. REMOVE THE SCALING AND THE ITEM POWER LVL OMFG

Anybody saying this is bad in the comments is just looking for attention

Damage on Tuesdays™

We have lots of good aspects but not enough places to put them. What I want is maybe a belt and some shoulders. Letting us use a couple more aspects would be really cool and an easy win for everyone.

1:26:24 I love this dude, we need more please 🙏 😂😂

why can’t a yellow item get a random third affixes when you put a legendary power on it!!!

So many pro D4 bots / paid interactions in the comments here.

rare and magic items are bases for rune words. give them 3-4–5–6 sockets and give us rune words and cow lvl. its not diablo with out rune words and diablo himself… lilith 4 sucks duck

You know. i dont know how hard it would be, but if they had the ability to make excess vulnerable damage and stuff additive instead of multiplicative, they could probably do this.

What if they just made the top “5” damage types on your character multiplicitve, and the rest additive? the number doesnt matter, it could be 3, 7, 420, doesnt matter. Or better yet, lowest “5”. That way no matter what you want to specialize in, you will always have access to the same number of multiplicative bonuses as any other class, but you still need to work towards those damages and build around them.

At first it sounds bland, but honestly it isnt any different to crit or vulnerable, but it does help balance around damage numbers and damage types, because during balancing they can treat all damage types as the same value, while balancing around how hard it is to gain said damage types. For example crit damage would be higher values because its “harder” to build around.

Quality of life for both devs and players, and its future proof, allowing freedom to build weird damage sources during seasons, because no matter what damage sources they bring into the game, it will have the same “Value” as any other source, and cant break the multiplicitve system.

Obol cap need to go up to 10k or 20k at least.

item lvl is garbage the scaling needs to be removed. give us a 5th tier and make it no scaling. i hate sclaing in a arpg. is the worst. the real promblem is the scaling. a lvl 100 player can play with a lvl 10 player. this is a killer for me

almost one year after release, necro can finally be played as necro. That aside, Diablo 4 should be awesome now hopefully, ty

Great job. Now add more end game

Hyyyyypppeee

i want cow lvl and runes and rune words in the dlc vessal of hatred. if i dont get runes words i will rage on u blizzard.

I hope they rework the skill tree significantly in season 5.

Make ARPG Great Again.

How could they forget to mention CAMERA ZOOM OUT?! I think it’s one of the best improvements to player experience.

Is this another season of making a rogue again because that’s the only decent class???

So no theme besides loot? No new quest line? Feels like it’s only an update to the current season. What’s the seasonal item? Will we still have the senechal?

Blizzard still think season 2 was the best “because players love vampires” it is so done

When you make items worth to check even if they are blue? Like in d2 every blue armor was check for 100l 4sox, every monarch for jmod, even blue gloves was worth to check cuz 3 20…

When we can scroll camera to see more than just our character? we already saw on worldboss fights its possible for engine to hold it, our pc can handle it we no need this raytracing you add u know…

When u put or allow players to change this simple ingame font to og d1/d2 one? Atleast for this damage numbers we see so often and a lot, this is change that community request from beta yet we didnt get it, and font itself is in game already

When you realise most important fact BOTH d1 and d2 games that build this game legacy did it because sooo awesome and sooo enjoy pvp mode? You rly think we stay in d2 for over 20years just because we grind baalruns mef and cow?

True Believers

I like this new guy

I said it not once but atleast 50 times The Complete game which include : MORE SKILLS (BUILD VARIETY),Itemizations (TIER SETS ,UBERS ETC ) , Endgame IS LOCKED BEHIND EXPANSIONS…..Until you people don’t realize that you wont ever stop being disappointed …..

Defo D4 Good now

Pit = Rifts. Woo!

I wish these talks were for console😢😢 these guys don’t care about that. I’ve found so many bugs in my game y’all still didn’t fix. Start testing for consoles. The PC side Will miss a lot as always.😢

Eternal realm finally. Not all of us want to re-roll over and over

They got rid of damage reduction because it’s hard to balance game.

But now there is no depth to builds. You just follow a guide for the best build possible. PvP just became a joke.

Diablo quatre, c’est un très bon jeu, mais il faut avoir de l’imagination pour l’apprécier

Ok nice info about ptr. But where is new season ?

Mostly excited to play my Eternal Realm characters again, did not want another level 100 repeat class

I mean, look at Diablo 2 and Diablo 4. With Diablo 2, the last big gap between major updates to the game itself was 5 years (last LoD patch and D2R release). The game was that good!
These “hyped up” devs are changing the game and adding stuff to it every 3 months. That doesn’t tell me “customer service, listening to the players”. That screams “We have a broken unballanced game and we’re trying to un-break it, while making it look like we care about the playerbase, totally not copying what we did with Diablo 3, even though we told everyone, D4 will be different, lol.”

This looks good. Wanting to slay cows soooooo bad though 😢

Hope you are able to add more fun and unique affixes to the affix pool some day.

This feels like the “fixing” season we needed.

Yeap. Time to dive back in!

Unbelievably awesome! Best dev stream yet!

32:35 Hard to trust these since last week. Don’t have to be honest with the difference and fidelity of the sets from the shop vs the game. BEST and iconic for rogue,/barbarian/necromancer/Sorcerer. ALL in the shop, and not earnable in game. EVEN though the sets areas you GO to in D4. AND put to shame all currently earnable.

So what is the season theme？？？

Question for Blizzard : Why i must again farm uber items ? Why they are not automatically compatible with the newest update, and they are not automatically upgraded to the newest version ? Why Bizz punish non ladders players who spent hundreds of hours to hunt the uber items ?

Nice updates

Season 4 theme is no theme KEKW

Im sure this new system already sucks for items, no one wanted the same items reworked, we wanted NEW ITEMS period, its the same old how do i stack up these multipliers based on this new system nothing actually changed

So does getting more than 9k armor is useless now even against lv200 monster or what? I was kinda not clear on that.

BIG L

Bring back the cow lvl 😛

Fix Error Code 3. I want to use chat since early launch.

Sub titles please ! Thx

I am so looking forward for the bigger inventory and the easier accessible paragon system.

So the season is just an itemization rework..?

Well atlast Necromancer can live upto his name.

D4 GOOD. Buncha babies are saying D4 MID. Good work!

Make Diablo 4 Diablo 2 again.

How to fix the beams for Greater items…. Just put the star symbols floating in the beams…. Done. No need to do a color change.

Thank you so much team! This was a much needed update! Super excited for S4 changes
