Diablo Franchise Q&A Panel Summary

Recommended Posts

X6KQ96B3LHMY1551140875276.jpg
 

The general Diablo Q&A is about to start, so we'll hopefully find out more about D2, D4, Imortal and more! 

We have the main designers for all three Diablo games, D2: Resurrected, Immortal and D4!

Diablo 4:

  • Rogues will not be gender locked. The male Rogues will be from a different faction, not the Sisters of the Sightless Eye. Druids won't be only male either.
  • Mob highlighting/outlining will be toggleable!
  • You can't permanently be in a werewolf or werebear form, you can be in them longer depending on skills, but you will always be back in the regular druid form for at least a while. No mounting as a bear.
  • Trading limitations aren't clear yet, but there will be player trading and a clan bank.
  • Lightning round:
    • Not all classes will have their own class quests.
    • Transmogrification will be a thing.
    • No fishing.
    • It will have couch co-op.
    • It will have Town portal books/scrolls.
    • Angel involvement: technically yes.

Diablo 2: Resurrected:

  • Restating how bots and dupers will be almost completely gone due to running on the new Battle.net
  • Player collision will still exist.
  • Patch 1.14 (current live one) will be the base patch.
  • As mentioned in the previous panel, the uncapped framerate will not affect the mechanics based on the original framerate. There are still attack speed breakpoints based on frames, the increased framerate is just "on top" of the old system and smoothing things out.
  • Cross play will not be supported "right now".
  • PC controller support confirmed once again.
  • No couch co-op.
  • Still 8 player co-op.
  • Lightning round:
    • You can link items in the chat.
    • You will not be able to import your old characters.

Diablo Immortal:

  • There won't be progress resetting (like in D3 seasons).
  • The story is focused between D2 and D3, but you will be able to relive events before that, similar to WoW's Caverns of Time.
  • There's more testing ahead than there was so far. Crusader and Necro need to be added to testing, new zones, level 60 cap, and more.
  • Many patches planned. The game's release is just the beginning.
  • Larger PvP group activities.
  • Lightning round!
    • GvG bigger PvP engagements.
    • No support for 120Hz devices.

      Hello all
      Happy New Year!
      We just wanted to provide a quick update on D2R and D3 timing for upcoming seasons and updates as we have seen a plethora of questions regarding timing for these.
      For D2R, we are expecting ladder reset for S3 to begin sometime in mid-February. We will share more specifics on the date with the community in the coming weeks.
      For D3, players can expect PTR for the next update to come toward the tail end of January. We will have notes that will be available on our blog a little prior to that.
      Hope this offers a bit more clarity and helps with timing and scheduling for those wanting to jump in right at the start.

      Blizzard have just released a new trailer for D2R, and we get to see the cinematic version of big red himself! The trailer features scenes from the act cinematics we haven't seen yet and it looks pretty great!
      We also heard about the official launch time for the game earlier, albeit for the US, but we're presuming that it will in fact be a global launch - meaning the game is coming 8 AM PDT/11 AM EST/5 PM CEST, as per Rod Ferguson, the Executive Producer of the Diablo franchise:
