It is fucking crazy to me that D4 is going to end without ever encountering Diablo, not even having his name present in the whole story. What a fucking joke.

Yeah I won't be getting this at launch. I'll wait and see cause Diablo 4 didn't grip me the way I thought it should have

I didn't even bother with Diablo 4 because and the end of Diablo 3 He and the other evils scattered as dust in the wind so evil could live on in a little part of us all or some BS. Spew.

Realistically, the Blizzard of the past 20 years has proven you should never pick up a modern Diablo title at launch because they don't know what the fuck they're doing. I know I'm a broken record at this point for insisting their focus on D2 was a mistake for early D4, and since then they've basically been scrambling to turn it into a glorified D3 expansion because not all aspects of D2 are good ackshully. There's something in between that could exist and would be good, but I fear it will never happen as long as the franchise stubbornly clings to seasons with temporary mechanics and thinks combat should be one-shotting the enemy or getting one-shot by them in the middle of a trippy light show that makes LSD users blush. It's personally vexing because I feel my ideal game would exist somewhere between a good Diablo and an MMO, but appeals to tradition/genre purity keep it from happening.

Weird place to get the exclusive but some interesting info here. https://www.esquire.com/entertainmen...o-v-first-look

Monk and Demon Hunter returning, new class called Plague Knight, will launch with more classes than any of the other games (slightly unclear if they meant those games at launch or total classes at the end of life cycle)
Set over a hundred years after D4 and your base is a growing caravan of survivors moving through a post apocalyptic Sanctuary where Diablo has won.

I don't think I've played Diablo 4 at all since a few hours on release... I 100% regret buying whatever deluxe bullshit version I bought. If this looks any good I'll get it for 50% off down the road, otherwise, I think I'm good...

**Qalbert** · 2026-09-12 17:49

I played at launch, and at expansion launches (game share with a friend who bought em), enough time in between to get the itch to play again and see the new stuff, but no interest in the seasonal stuff and starting over every couple months

D4 still has 3 years of content before this game comes out. I'm still playing it on and off. It's not bad.

It's not bad but it didn't start getting good until last Expac and past 2 seasons have been dog shit...and you know the A team from D4 that was doing the good seasons is now on D5 so I can't imagine D4 is going to be getting stellar seasons. I'll fuck with it on random weekends for the season but this news is bullshit. They gave us a 10yr road map lol. D5 going to launch the same way i'm sure, be complete garbage for 1.5 yrs, devs will say "oh we finally understand" while stuffing micro transactions everywhere and then update it maybe just in time for D6

The mythic update totally turned me off after a great expansion.

Yup, Blizzard loves snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Been crystal clear the devs on D4 had no fucking idea what they were doing and no guiding light to move towards so they just dumped it to start over again

**Krandor** · 2026-09-13 22:01

The recent expansion and the immediate season with it was so good, but yeah as soon as I saw the patch notes on the next season I was immediately out.

Knew enough to make it pointedly profitable, which is their only real goal.

**Meresgi** · Yesterday 11:18

I'll credit D4 in that it got me playing ARPGs and due to its shittiness made me find PoE2

Literally same. Latest DLC and the season after it were great with several broken, badass builds and a good story. The moment I saw the mythic rework, I was out
