I’m Loving Season 4, But Tempering Needs Some Tweaks

by - 6 months ago

With Season 4 there has been so many foundational changes, tons of new shiny loot to chase after, bosses to take down, and sweet resplendent sparks to collect. One of my favorites of the new additions are Greater Affixes, which increases a base item stat by 150% and can only be found on item drops. These nice little bundles of pure dopamine have added a very welcome spice to the overall loot hunt, a spice that we haven’t really had in this franchise for some time. Another one of my favorite additions is Tempering. Which allows you to add up […]

Blizzcon 2023 Biggest Disappointments and Wins

by - 1 year ago

Blizzcon 2023 felt like Blizzard supplicated itself before the audience. Please. Come back. The opening ceremonies radiated emotion and energy from every single speaker. Mike Ybarra was near tears and it’s hard not to relate to him. Many of us have missed Blizzcon. We’ve missed Blizzard. It’s been quite the road since Blizzcon 2019. From COVID, to THE Blizzard Scandal, to Overwatch 2 being released and then cancelled while being live, to Diablo Immortal… and… I should stop… The point being that Blizzard needed a win. Well. They got one. Not across the board, but in enough categories that mattered. […]

5 Wildest Blizzcon Dreams

by - 1 year ago

This year has been one of the least hyped Blizzcons… ever? In fact you can still buy tickets right now on the official website. And resale? Not exactly a profitable enterprise. This could be due to any number of reasons such as: Bobby K being an asswipe Blizzard fans feeling squeezed dry by corporate practices Game quality/Free to play models Everything that happened summer of 2021 And of course. Bobby. Fucking. K. It is likely true that Blizzcon this year is a tempered return after COVID and therefore not likely to be announce anything major… but what if? WHAT IF?! […]

Diablo IV Closed Beta Announced

by - 2 years ago

Diablo IV had its first beta test announced yesterday via a blog post on the official website. Unlike most recent Blizzard betas, this will be a closed test with a full NDA focused primarily on endgame systems. Testers will be chosen for this first test based on how much they’ve recently played the endgame of Diablo II Resurrected and Diablo III (it’s kind of interesting how there’s no mention of Diablo Immortal here). This is to ensure that they are getting focused feedback from endgame focused players.   This is a fantastic approach to getting D4’s endgame right! For those […]

Diablo Immortal Closed Beta Impressions: Necromancer and Leveling

by - 3 years ago

Now that the closed beta for Diablo Immortal has been live for a couple of weeks, I wanted to share some of my initial impressions of the newest build. There’s quite a lot of new features and changes to talk about so let’s get to it!   Leveling Experience When playing through the game during the previous test one of the things that stood out to me was how quickly you could become too under-leveled to continue the main storyline due to level gating quests. This sort of forced you to go out and grind some side activities like rifts, […]
