sweet, i'm down for sure.

Have you guys heard about Hearthstone?

With Blizzard's recent going ons, replace Hearthstone with Diablo Immortal.

It's gonna be an ATM machine game.

haha @Kommie - well, at least it's not going to be pay to win, like they tried to do with D3 at the start.

So recent news is amazing! So excited for D2 remastered. One of my all time favorite games. Will absolutely play cross platform between PC and Switch (travel).

I haven't yet watched anything for D4, not sure I want to see anything prior to release.

Cross progression is nice, but it be great if Cross play was enabled. I will be getting it regardless. Probably PS5, PC crap the bed and I can't find a damn RTX 3060 to save my life. It's the only thing holding me back on a PC build.

Kinda surprise that no cross play exists, odd. Wonder if that'll happen at a later time.

They are saying it could come later... But it's wierd that Cross progression is there at the start but cross play is not there. Wonder if it's balancing issues between console and PC?

I mean you can cross play between PC and console for FPS and PC is clearly more dominant (typically). Not as big of a gap with Diablo.

Immortal is potentially coming out June 30th.

Immortal coming out June 30th

Looks like June 2nd is the new date. I've yet to get totally into a mobile game but this... I will play.

They also announced the pc version which will launch as a beta at the same time with cross save and play. Seems cool

I just came to post about PC, hell yeah!!!

Guess Blizzard thought it was too risky to keep Diablo Immortal a mobile-only "spin-off" title, that it was better to officially bring it into-the-fold with a PC release?

Microsoft may have had an influence here.

Don't they have phones? Jesus

So Immortals came out ... yet, still not playable on PC? It was supposed to be ready to play today.

might not be up until "patch time", 10, but that's now. Or it may just not be up until evening

So it's basically Hearthstone?

Nice, it's up, checking it out now!

So far ... better than expected. It's actually a game that plays very well on mobile. I've play on both now and while it's clearly built for mobile, plays solid on PC (could be much better obviously).

Problem is though, my mobile character isn't sync'ing to PC and PC character isn't sync'ing to mobile.

It is, just really confusing and obnoxious. It automatically throws you onto a new data server when you log in with a new platform, you have to select the server you made the original character on to see them. Got me too.

Yah, figured this out yesterday, not the best UI for this. So now I need to restart my characters, not a big deal, only put a couple hours into it. No way I'll remember what server and the server selector that says "character" does not show that I have characters there. This is not WoW, how did D2/D3 get by without needing various server selections? Silly.

Outsourced. This is what you get! :)

Got my first Legendary drop

Can't wait until level 58 to get 2% on that skill, if I'm still using it! I must say, I'm pretty appalled at the time gating for in-game currency purchases with hilts and such. One legendary crest a month, you're gonna have to live to 385 before you get all decked out at that rate. I don't think I'll be playing much once I max level, if at all.

As somebody who's in the afterglow of Diablo II Resurrected, I'm curious to try this out, but all the talk about requiring currency to get decent "Magic Find" rates when obtaining loot already bums me out.

All the magic find in the world won't save you from starving for legendary gems

One of my friends has a good theory on Diablo Immortal's release woes, I mentioned that after looking at the trailer from three years ago and the game as it is now, it's basically almost identical, other than some shader changes, like, beat for beat, I've killed three bosses in that trailer and the mechanics looked the same, character actions look VERY much the same. He said he wouldn't be surprised if after Microsoft came in and bought them out, they looked at the devs sitting on their hands, looked at this unfinished mobile game sitting in limbo since 2018 and said "Release a game or you're all fired" and we got Diablo Immortal to little fanfare or hype because it was as ready as it was going to be. Even though the monetization issues are SO fudging bad.

Beta sign up for D4

Diablo Immortal is fun. I spent .99 and I won't spend another penny. After 6 epic drops, it nerfs your drop chance.

lol. I got two legendaries grinding two hours of rifts, I felt like I got awful lucky (other than the fact that they were both irrelevant weapon drops). Can't imagine playing long enough to get six.

Ending was lame To Be Continued crap (no it won't), endgame is really stupid with a LOT of waiting unless you PVP which is REALLY REALLY stupid unless you're paying to win. Not a great game!

I still haven't gone back to Immortals but I keep hearing bad... I question if I should even bother at this point.

nah. D3's a better game, D2's a way better game, D1 is the brainy best game, Torchlight 1 and 2 are better, PoE is the superior free choice. Can't play it on the crapter but Immortal feels worse than any of those. So.

Man that's so disappointing to hear. I tapped out on D2R after a big binge. Haven't touched D3 in years. May revisit.

I miss Torchlight. Have they announced if a new one will happen?

After TL3, not sure I care either way. They retooled some other games to be a Torchlight title, and it's not great

Ha, well, news to me ... I played TL1 and 2, didn't even know there was a third.
