The latest Diablo 3 PTR patch notes have been posted that showcase a few interesting tidbits and some of the first "new" content in quite awhile. Notably, additional stash space has been allotted to players, Ancient or Primal Puzzle Rings used in Kanai's Cube will have a new result, Treasure Goblin portals may occasionally lead to an "udderly ridiculous" place and more.

    Honestly, between that Season 17 buff and the Puzzle Ring / Treasure Goblin portal stuff, it's enough to make me want to play next season....and that's saying something! :D

    1. Don't have a high enough level character for Grim Dawn's expack and won't any time soon.
    2. No Wolcen until there are female playable characters

    Diablo 3 it is! :D

    Just create a custom character or modify yours in Grim Dawn.
    True, I could, but then I'd miss a lot of content. I quit playing long ago. Dunwanna do that either. One of these days I'll pick it up again. :)

    If it is a premade character like Lara Croft or Geralt, no, it's fine. But if it's a game where you create a character, I will only play it if there is a female option. *shrugs* I generally prefer to play female characters. Sue me. ;)

    I always chose Female also but that should never stop you from playing a game hmm.

    @darren28 I have been a Wolcen backer since Day 1. I will play it, but I prefer to play as a female character. I can wait. All good things are worth that much. :)

    As I said, if there's a premade character, I'll play the game (if interested in it) regardless. If there's a character creation process, I want the option for a female character. I think that's pretty fair. :)

    I can understand that. But I would never play a game as female character. Skipped many games due to that :)

    Am I the only one feeling like Diablo franchise has forgotten how much a loyal fan like me has put into it? Therefor I have a hard time rooting for its success? I guess i do not know if i can ever get over the betrayal.

    Stood in line and enjoyed a launch party with the others waiting on release day and have played off and on since. I bought the xpac with money I earned from the RMAH and still enjoy the game. It's not what I was hoping for as a 3rd installment, but the game is still enjoyable to me for a few weeks at a time when a new season launches. And they still support it and add some free content now and then.

    I expect that feeling is fairly common. How much total did you put into Diablo overall though, from a money point of view? How many hours of fun did you get out of that money?

    What was your money cost per hour of entertainment?

    Pennies per hour, I expect.

    Your feeling of betrayal may be a wee bit unfounded.

    I'm still playing off and on as well, which is more than I can say for many other games I've bought. Considering the amount of revenue they are getting out of it these days (probably next to nothing) I appreciate the content they do add.

    Remember guys....only one of many Diablo projects in the works according to Blizzard! Good to see that this small indie company has the man power to give to a title like this. Sounds like they are working too hard!

    Those extra 5 stash tabs will come in very handy especially for those of us who want to play a couple of different builds of each class.

    The only QOL addition I care about still missing is beefing up the cosmetic pets to have them pick up at least mats if not also gear.

    i just wish that the devs would get rid of ICD's on items like rimeheart and shard of hate so they are not insta junked for meta weapons or atleast let CDR effect them

    Every bit of content D3 gets, no matter how small, is 100% fan service, it really isn’t generating any money for Bliz. D3 got screwed when the RMAH fell through and with it the steady stream of revenue. Expansions and content packs were never going to generate enough money to keep the game going and Bliz cut their losses. They took a risk and lost. Well, we gamers did actually. With a flourishing RMAH there would be plenty of content
    still being made.

    Kyleran on yours sincerely 


    'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...



    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    It's not really even a good game because the difficulty is either you get one shot or it takes forever to kill something in between just killing trash by running past.

    This isn't a signature, you just think it is.

    I dont believe SBfords comment at all. Her comments sound like ads. Probably its in her contract to write over positive.
