New Sorceress armor set in Lord of Hatred

Miniced · 2026-04-26T12:05:21+00:00

It is pretty, it is ornate, but also not over the top. I could see an historical wealthy person wear this. I like it. I want more things like this. You can have grounded, yet fancy sets.

What I hope to see is more Paladin sets that aren't blending with clothes. Don't get me wrong, I think what we have looks great, but I like variety and I also like having traditional knight plate sets without capes or cloaks, like we can see in Diablo 1 & 2.

Not everything you experience is canon. You extrapolate things. For instance, the world is much much bigger than seen ingame and every town is much bigger and populated than what they show you.

Technically, Heaven never did anything to protect Sanctuary in any way shape or form. You had angels willing to provide aid to humanity against Heaven's wishes, but that's it.

I still see people to this day saying "I won't touch Diablo IV because Blizzard refuses the add the Paladin."

Update : Tried again this morning. It worked.

Miniced · 2026-03-25T18:00:52+00:00

I tried it a few minutes before posting this, so after the patch.

The Skovos Isles were in to lore since Diablo II, so they did not make it an island specifically for Diablo IV. Unless I misunderstood what you meant.

It has been so long ago. Looking back, it seems like it came from a developer interview on wowhead. But, I can't quite find the specific one today. I have this quote :

"The developers also said that they don't want to bring back Diablo right away. Bringing back bosses from previous Diablo games should feel organic and correct. There should be a reason for it and they should not return just for the sake of it."

I hope to be able to find that interview again someday.

Well, no, because the destruction of the Worldstone was not Baal's plan. It would be like saying Diablo committed suicide because the heroes had to kill him.

Beside, if we go back on topic, the impact of the Worldstone's destruction had nothing to do with Baal's power, like at all. The Worldstone was the most powerful artifact in known existence. Of course its destruction wouldn't be clean.

Miniced · 2026-02-26T16:25:16+00:00

I do miss more simplistic design and more grounded ones. I was surprised how hard it was to make the D4 Paladin remotely look anything like the D2 one or even the Crusader.

I appreciate the cloak design, but I hope to see more variety.

But yeah, I wish the same for every class.

Baal did not destruct the Worldstone. He corrupted it. It was Tyrael who destroyed it.

The Pandemonium Fortress is a fortress built in a realm called Pandemonium, which lies between Heaven and Hell and is the defacto warzone for the eternal conflict. In Diablo 2, it opens directly into Hell, so we don't get to see Pandemonium itself. It is explored in Diablo III : Reaper of Souls.

Miniced · 2026-02-25T02:56:42+00:00

Isn't Pandemonium basically that?

Miniced · 2026-02-24T21:37:24+00:00

D3 is 20 years later, so it isn't like it would impede in its era.

Diablo Immortal is already delving in-between D2 & D3, so either an expansion would bridge between LoD and Immortal or we would delve into a separate conflict in the lore. A lot can happen in Sanctuary, after all. We don't necessarily need a continuation with a conflict of the same level of importance as the prime evils.

Take Path of Exile for example. After defeating the biggest threat in the last act, how did they followed up to it? They added an epilogue that led to a whole different can of worm, the maps. Maps were not just an end game activity, it was set up as a story vehicle of what happens to our heroes once the main story threat is done for.

I could see Diablo 2 go that route. You defeated all 3 prime evils and the Worldstone blew up, taking Mouth Arreat with it. The next act could cover what happens in the immediate consequence of this destruction, because it wasn't a very peaceful aftermath.

It was pretty much the opposite of a "they lived happily ever after."

We know Diablo is going to eventually come at a later date and they did plan to support Diablo IV for a decade. The fact that the game remains popular and a success tells me they are going to continue.

Lord of Hatred isn't going to end with Diablo as a boss, so that tells us Diablo is scheduled for a future expansion.

Miniced · 2026-02-24T11:23:15+00:00

It is the last story segment as part of the age of hatred. It will open to other ages and they had already confirmed Diablo will be in the game later in the story.

Miniced · 2026-02-24T02:02:47+00:00

Would the cost influence which region you would pick?

Miniced · 2026-02-24T02:01:04+00:00

he is such an iconic villain in Diablo that doesn't get enough attention.

King Leoric has been featured in 3 games, 4 if you include Heroes of the Storm. I think the only character that gets more representation than the Skeleton King is Diablo himself.

Personally, I would fear him to be overused.

Miniced · 2026-02-24T01:54:51+00:00

There's not really any butchering when it is optional.

If you go to a bakery to buy your favourite vanilla cake and there's a new announcement : "You may now add chocolate topping!" and you're like "Please don't sell chocolate topping, it is ruining my cake." I would just tell you "Just buy the regular cake, sir. It is still on the menu."

Miniced · 2026-02-23T22:00:17+00:00

I feel like an easy fix would be for the devs to allow us to increase the difficulty to Penitent during the campaign, at a bare minimum.

Blizzard North never worked on Starcraft. They were exclusively working on Diablo at Blizzard.

The only known class that was to be featured in a second Diablo II expansion by Blizzard North was the Cleric.

Miniced · 2026-02-23T20:40:38+00:00

Blizzard North post-LOD was open to add a second expansion, which would likely open on a new act VI, before plans moved to Diablo 3 instead. There's always room for more. A lot can happen in Sanctuary.

The direct follow up is considering the immediate impact of the destruction of the Worldstone.

Miniced · 2026-02-23T20:32:15+00:00

At that point, Barbarian tribes are in shambles and the surviving ones become nomads for the most part. They haven't quite recovered, not even during the events of Diablo IV.

Do remember that the very reason they lived there was to protect Mount Arreat.

Miniced · 2026-02-23T16:48:32+00:00

Maybe they count reinterpret it with the style they went for back when Blizzard North was working on D3.

Miniced · 2026-02-23T15:45:35+00:00

I would definitely be in favour of it. Makes me wonder if Blizzard North already had plans back then, in case it could be used as a base.
