Game Discussions Diablo 4 announced
Hell yes.
Well, one thing is undeniable. Blizzard has possibly the best trailers and out of game cinematics on the planet.
The rest, at the moment.... Well I'll leave it at that and will await D4 with cautious and moderated interest.

Do you guys not have mobile phones?
Any details available?
In ten days Path of Exile will announce their next expansion for 4.0 so Blizzard have a strong contender to go against.

After playing POE it will be VERY hard for Blizzard to get me into Diablo again compared to the extreme replayability and sheer options of crazy builds one can do in POE.
Im guessing Diablo will have 4-6 classes with some sub classes at most and a pair of those will be meta builds.
At the same time i can most likely rather easily count 50 different builds for POE at the top of my head.

Destiny 2 the free version is kind of fun, and we get some free campaigns to go with it.
After playing Borderlands however all weapons in most shooters feel...lackluster. My rocket launcher is not firing tiny rockets, something is wrong.
POE is for me too complex to get into tbh. Never liked the fact that there is no gold in PoE. I feel like I have to walk a million different guides on how the economy works etc. Diablo 4 seems to be more accessible as far as i can tell.
The best way to get into it is to simply follow a build guide (a cheap starter build is highly recommended as they aim for low cost and to be able to do endgame content)

It is as complex as you want it to be basically as you can follow a good guide and just smash enemies. I'll admit, it has taken awhile getting into it but the options available are extremely fun, especially when you discover how different things synergize with each other.
example:
- Wear a ring that makes any chill effect you do be reflected to you (your speed and attack speed is reduced)
- Wear another ring that reverse the effect of chill on you (you become faster by chill effect instead)
- Wear a helmet that makes poisons you inflict on the enemy chill your enemies (cue the first ring...)
As for buying guide, there are trade macros that are a great help that can measure what an item you have is worth and of course POE trade.

Blizzard won't see another penny from me anymore. Wouldn't care if it's the best thing ever.
Does anyone else think the shared world is a really bad idea and should be optional?
I wouldn't say it's a bad idea. I just wouldn't care playing in it.
True, I didn't mean the idea of a shared world is bad, but that forcing it is a bad idea. They should add an option to play Solo and scale the bosses accordingly.
A shared world can work pretty good. Look at destiny 2.
I don't think Destiny is a good example. At least not of this. It's a good example how totally ruin the immersion while trying to tell a story about a lone guardian. Nothing says " you're the last hope for the solar system" like seeing four other guardians jumping around erratically, shooting the trees and teabagging dead animals...
If you are interested in it. For me it will be quite the immersion breaker and take everything away they try to achieve with the dark / gritty horror feeling. Seeing people run around everywhere and taking the same quests is annoying, especially if you consider that they want to enhance the narration with cutscenes and stuff. Hey, you just managed to escape a collapsed cave. Hey, looks like that cave just collapsed again!
