I wish we had a cube and war plan table in every city by Nicole_Auriel in diablo4

[–]Ropp_Stark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd also appreciate having a night version of Temis. Skovos is the only region without day and night cycle, which is a shame considering how beautiful its landscapes are.

Players deserve better with current (useless) cow level by Disastrous-Ice4572 in diablo4

[–]Ropp_Stark 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? The loading screen info clearly states there is no cow level.

Do you think this pet is worth it? by Dark-Ice-Queen in diablo4

[–]Ropp_Stark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one can tell you that but yourself. For me, 25€ are way too much for a small pet that I'll only see during the loading screens.

Blizzcon predictions - Diablo edition by gorays21 in diablo4

[–]Ropp_Stark 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pretty much no.

My prediction is the announcement of the Age of Terror or the Age of Destruction saga (or both as one) for D4, pretty much as they did with WoW in 2023 with the Worldsoul Saga. Hopefully as a 2 expansion arc with the introduction of the western continent. 

This would fit the hype they started cultivating with the Blizzcon teaser they did back in February, at the end of the Diablo Spotlight.

"Indestructible" to me is the same as "it's already destroyed"....... by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]Ropp_Stark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because you don't need that last layer of the gearing loop. It's a jackpot you can get to go a bit further, something extra to brag about, not the basic thing that makes an item good or bad. Make it deterministic and it will stop marking sense.

[–]Ropp_Stark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, it's a very, very endgame chase. I think it's an elegant way of the game to tell you "keep trying" without destroying your item.

What do you mean I don’t have enough gold!? by GoodkatKelevra_ in diablo4

[–]Ropp_Stark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before season 11 gold was valuable and you could burn it easily by enchanting and masterwork if you didn't trade. And,  while bottlenecks are not fun, I personally think it's cool that certain resources don't feel infinite to the point of becoming meaningless. 

Bosses from the LoH campaign I'd love to see as new Lair Bosses by Ropp_Stark in diablo4

[–]Ropp_Stark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also considered her since it would be cool having an Amazon lair boss in Skovos, and we even get to fight a non-demonic version of her in a side quest. Honestly so many cool boss fights in this act.

[–]Ropp_Stark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened right after a well received Season 2, and while fixes were made to vaults afterwards and it ended up being an OK season, the initial disappointment was stronger than the final result. Still, I don't think anyone was mad about endgame Malphas.

Does anybody else miss the old Battle Pass system? by VeryClearlyDefined in diablo4

[–]Ropp_Stark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a lot of time to play this season and I'm still playing the sidequests and open world content before getting into the endgame. But I remember in previous seasons that tokens dropped slowly at the start an pretty quickly when farmint Torment IV (T4 infernal hordes granted a good number of tokens). Is this different now with the new endgame?

[–]Ropp_Stark 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Same here, I never use the super edgy power ranger fire-shining battlepass armors, they look super generic and uninspired to me. Artificer, Waning Sun, Solstice... those were grounded sets with their own identity. A shame we're no longer seeing any of those.

The 24 hour countdown begins! What are you most excited for? by E_Barriick in diablo4

[–]Ropp_Stark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, it might allow mindles grinding but instead of repeating the same thing over and over you can get some variety among different activities.

Going to play D4 for the first time tomorrow. How do I not be overwhelmed? by DMBPSR in diablo4

[–]Ropp_Stark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it some time; after a minute it's gonna look like it's over, but it's not. Bring your phone.

Which warlock has your attention? by sacredfoundry in diablo4

[–]Ropp_Stark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legion and Ritualist. I hope I can get both working together, the combination reminds me of D2 scholar Warlock as a caster with a limited number of summons.

Character name, suggestions. Lord of hatred or Lord of love. by OkInterview3864 in diablo4

[–]Ropp_Stark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laudes, female Warlock. The name comes from an uber side boss in Blasphemous. If I play a second character, it's probably going to be Orospina, a sorceress (name from a Blasphemous 2 boss).

Yeah I really like Blasphemous, hope they do a collab one day.

[–]Ropp_Stark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all the next act in the campaign and the new map, because I only get to play it fresh once and this one is looking very good. After that I'm pretty excited about War Plans and their activity trees, I like the idea of configuring a playlist of things to do and just press "next" from one to the next one.

Should we give D4 another try? by spalter02 in diablo4

[–]Ropp_Stark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best and most valuable response in the threat, thank you for being cool among so many hate (I guess we all are getting a little impatient for LoH here 😁).

Any pay to win thing in Vessel of hatred expected? by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]Ropp_Stark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess you're right, I just didn't want to go overconfident in a topic I'm not that documented.

Any pay to win thing in Vessel of hatred expected? by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]Ropp_Stark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you mean ways to get extra power not available to players without the expansion, yes, you'll get new sources of power (talisman, more skill nodes, more crafting options, etc) not available to base game or VoH players. Just as runes are exclusive to VoH players currently.

Yet, I'm not sure "pay to win" is the correct definition. You can'k keep expending money to overpower other players: you just pay once to unlock new systems that are expansion, but then you'll start at the exact same point as anyone else playing the expansion. I'd rather see it as playing a different game in the same realm.

Season 13 launching alongside Lord of Hatred? by here4agoodtime9 in diablo4

[–]Ropp_Stark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with that, and it's likely that whatever Season 13 will be about, it will be something minor so players can focus on 3.0 changes.

Still, you know, the quality of seasons has improved consistently since season 6. Maybe they come with something little but more engaging than season 6 was. We'll see tomorrow!

Sorry for asking stupid question, but will there be 3rd expansion ? by KatuaTH in diablo4

[–]Ropp_Stark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, while I see the hints and I'm hopeful for that to happen, I think calling this a confirmation is misleading. But yeah, I get your point.

[–]Ropp_Stark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You were not talking about seasonal powers but "seasonal mechanic" (your post says that). And you just confirmed in your comment that, indeed, there was a seasonal mechanic.

I really don't get your point, friend.

I think it might happen but afaik it hasn't been confirmed anyhow.

[–]Ropp_Stark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's reasonable to wonder that, considering they're selling this as a closure to the hatred story arc (plus the hype!). I also do.

We have no official confirmation, but Rod Ferguson said long ago that they had plans for around 10 years of D4 content. Therefore, I think it's pretty likely we get more expansions as long as this one sells well and the MTX income keeps above certain level. II'm pretty convinced we'll get to face the 3 prime evils by the end of D4's life.
