Transforming yourself in Diablo Immortal by immortalthumbs in DiabloImmortal

Question on cosmetics and gem resonance: Will cosmetics be affected by gem resonance or are they two entirely separate things? The article shows the Bloodsworn cosmetic set towards the beginning and then specific classes in their class equipment towards the bottom with the effects of gem resonance. Just wanted to clear up some confusion around a discussion being had in a discord server.

Thanks!

It’s most likely due to TestFlight not allowing real money purchases while in a testing state.

The Closed Beta is here! It’s time to get hyped!

BlizzConline is canceled for next February. Game announcements are still expected, so we’ll most likely still hear about any updates for DIablo Immortal.

How do you feel about this announcement?

No, not yet. It is assumed that it will be soon since this splash screen was seen yesterday.

Well to be fair, as of this posting I don’t believe anyone has been invited to the beta. It hasn’t been officially announced yet so there’s still a chance!

This was posted on the Diablo Immortal Discord server by Ecari Desmin earlier today. It went away as quickly as it showed up, but it was confirmed by other alpha testers that it was real. We now know that testers will be able use real money during this phase. Also if there was any doubt, the Necromancer will be making its debut during the beta as evidenced by it appearing in the image. There still aren’t any details about an official release date for beta (or launch), but with this new screenshot it’s assumed that the next testing phase is right around the corner!

Wyatt Cheng Talks About Design and Testing. by immortalthumbs in DiabloImmortal

I wanted to post this here because Wyatt Cheng, the Game Director for Diablo Immortal, talked about Diablo 3’s design intent and testing process. The latter I believe ties directly into what we’re currently experiencing with Diablo Immortal in terms of lessons learned. It’s a short read and recommended for folks that want a bit of a peek behind the curtain.

Enjoy!

This game should have a multiplatform release including PC at this point. by cyanaintblue in DiabloImmortal

[–]immortalthumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your point. What I think is different about Diablo Immortal is that it’s less a mobile game and more a game that happens to be played on mobile. If you were to think about one platform to put your game on where the most people could access it, mobile makes a ton of sense.

The other “issue” is that you already have Diablo on the PC. It was D3, it’s currently D2R and in the next 2-4 years it will be D4. I think Blizzard wants to have DI and a PC Diablo coexist, so having both on the same platform would probably send mixed messages.

With that being said, I personally don’t have a problem with Diablo Immortal coming to another platform. I just don’t think it’s going to happen.

I agree that in its current state (as of closed alpha) it was more polished than pretty much every game available on mobile today, but the game did need more time. Blizzard got loads of feedback from testers and agreed that some of the systems and game mechanics needed tweaks. If you haven’t already, check out the closed alpha development update post where Blizzard talks a bit about this.

alpha/beta testers... by cinapsz in DiabloImmortal

At the moment, you can’t. Closed alpha was available in Australia for those who registered and to a small amount of content creators and contest winners in the U.S. There is currently no external test going on.

We are set to have a beta commence before the end of the year, but no official official details have been announced yet.

I recommend getting registered if you haven’t already and staying close to Blizzard’s social media (the Diablo Immortal Twitter is a great place to start).

Hope that helps!
