No Diablo 4, but a new Necromancer class and a recreation of Diablo 1 in Diablo 3 instead.
The Necromancer will be added to the game in 2017 via a paid character pack, so not as part of an expansion. The Necromancer abilities weren't detailed in the opening ceremony but is inspired by the Necromancer from Diablo 2. The Necromancer is playable at BlizzCon this weekend.
Diablo 1 will be recreated in Diablo 3 courtesy of an anniversary patch that's arriving on the Public Test Realm next week. The patch, Darkening of Tristram, will take you back into the cathedral and down into 16 levels of monster-filled dungeons that will include the four main bosses from the first DIablo game.
There will be a special "Glorious Retrovision" graphics filter to make the game look pixelated and grainy, and character movement will be locked to eight directions.
Blizzard also said it would be added two new zones for free to Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls next year. They are the Shrouded Moors, and the Temple of the First Born. They'll be accessible via Adventure mode.
How the f*** do you access this Darkening of Tristram s***?
Load up Diablo 3, choose Darkening of Tristam, press start.
Is a new area included?I love that they're still adding stuff to the game, but a paid character?!
I've bought the game 3 times, and I sure as hell aren't paying for a character for a game that I haven't booted up for a year.
They should have released him 18-24 months ago. It's not like he is a suprise class or anything.
I rebought this because of the PS4 Pro update (4th time I've owned the game....), and I'm straight up addicted to this shiz all over again.
Diablo isn't a game, it is digital crack. I have a massive backlog of SP games, plus MP games I want to play more, and what am I doing? Replaying Diablo 3 on my 3rd platform.
Just an FYI for Diablo fans.
Path of Exile is coming to X1. It's a F2P game similar to Diablo. It's on PC already.
Started another character wanted to run through the campaign on XB One to get all the achievements. Playing as a Crusader, has some nice abilities and cool looking armor. I did not know the game lets you share paragon points between characters.
I finished a play-through on Hardcore difficulty with a Crusader this weekend. Possibly my favorite class out of those I've pushed to 70 (Barb, Monk, & Crusader now). Definitely the way to go if you want to do a hardcore play-through, extremely survivable.
The paragon points REALLY help you level other characters up quick. You can pump the difficulty up quick after starting and getting some decent gear. I started a Demon Hunter, he's already level 30 after finishing Act 1!

When I got my game, it came with a bonus spaulders armour called Spaulders of Zakara which makes it so none of your armor ever degrades. You'll find better, but the chances of you finding another item that has the ability to prevent all armour from degrading is slim to none.Started another character wanted to run through the campaign on XB One to get all the achievements.

Is Path of exile as good as Diablo? Ive been holding off...I'm back on Diablo 3. If they could merge this games combat with Path of Exiles skill tree I might never see the sun.
I'm more of the rpg kinda person, so I think I should try Exile.It depends on what you want out of these games IMO. If you just want to smash stuff and get loot then Diablo is better. If you want to plan out a build on an intricate and massive skill tree I would say PoE if better.
