QUOTE(nakal_mode @ Nov 5 2019, 05:02 PM) And the reasons I can think of to have players online all the time is to control how players play the game (no modding) and to have controlled product obsolence so they can pull the plug on the old game forcing players to buy the next sequel. Two words. Cosmetic microtransactions. Players will be tempted to spend money when they see another player riding by on a hellmount or fighting off demons with a flashy lightning sword. |

QUOTE(nakal_mode @ Nov 9 2019, 01:41 PM) Not really, cosmetic microtransactions can be delivered in the form of DLCs and has been done for at least a decade, earliest game I remember have cosmetic microtransactions done this way is Dead Space 2. Tales of series have tons of cosmetics delivered this way as well. I doubt Blizzard would give up the opportunity to earn more money via non-DLC cosmetic MTX though. |

The furthest I got in the beta was the character creation screen.
Most of the time the game crashes during the queue session. |

QUOTE(memphiz_zero88 @ Mar 21 2023, 04:02 PM) Have to wait until June I guess. So far, no shop nnounce they'll bring in physical copy for pc. Is there even going to be a physical copy though?I managed to level my sorc to 18 over the last weekend, no complaints about the gameplay or framerate (running on 1080TI at 2K res). Queue times were bearable (longest was 10 minutes) and there wasn't much lag. Overall I don't regret pre-ordering. |
