    In my opinion, the Diablo IV showing was pretty lame.

    They spent 75% of their short amount of time talking about a patch or season that they already released and then revealed the first expansion which won’t release until “Late 2024”. I mean, the only other new information we got was that Season 3 will have Gauntlets / leader boards… which we pretty much already knew.

    Seems to me like they are still in a tail-spin dive…

    I hate to say it, but for me, the DIV release was ok, Season 1 was “meh”, but Season 2 is “bleh”. I can’t stand the pacts on items and how it forces me to either give up an item or give up a vampiric power until I can mod the item to have the pacts I need to maintain parity. It forces the terrible itemization to take center stage every time I open my inventory and it is a horrible mechanic, in my opinion.

      Hasn’t this always been the case once you reach the point where you start bothering to worry about itemization?

      After a certain level I never slot a new item in until I’m able to spend a bit of time in town getting the aspect, enchantment, upgrades, and gems right. This is just another step in the process.

      (Not that this whole process isn’t a chore, but those tiny dopamine hits for completing a chore are probably there by design. Getting a new piece of gear is always exciting after a certain point, starting the process of tailoring it to fit your build.)

    Cant wait to see Kurast again.

    100% the new class is going to be some iteration of holy warrior archetype.
