Not having a Paladin class in a game where you fight demons from hell should be a crime.

[@PineapplePizzaBiS]

Where ya think the next $$$ is coming from?

[@roostre5254]

So according to you, every Diablo game should have a Paladin? Boring, but I guess boring people like boring classes.

[@yaacheese8643]

@@roostre5254How is harnessing our lords light to banish demons boring?

[@draftingish4833]

You mean a barb with a shield that has auras instead of shouts? Also they are dead according to Cannon, and their faith has been corrupted... it would have been lame to just be heres a paladin, instead of trying something new

[@VoRiiactual]

You mean a heresy. 😊

[@jerryweston7552]

Maybe they should have given all those druid themed skills to druid and released Paladin instead.

[@DuBstep115]

They made druid a shapeshifter and and re-release a druid as "spirit born"

[@aimcrux2231]

Lmao literally

[@Valkyraw]

for anyone asking for paladin: the reason they dont do paladin is because they want to sell you the paladin for 40 dollars. just wait and see.

[@DarthAscension]

Ya it will be in xpac 2 return to Tristram…

[@dimosguy]

Yeah DLC 3 day early access premium pack

[@TheTuttle99]

I mean, they're charging for this one. So clearly, obviously, any more classes will be paid.

$40? How naive you are.

[@schweizer3301]

Its their ace in the hole when they about to die

[@RPGOmen]

The fans: "We want a paladin or sword and board class." D4 Devs: So we heard you wanted another Druid instead of us just making the current one better to play.

[@Strangingness]

POE2; Just shows class Blizzard; Tells us how good it is and how we're going to love it before any gameplay

[@JulianTheGR3AT]

Blizzard just needs to stop making games and start making movies. If I could see a full length film The way they make their cinematics I'd be all for that.

[@KalkuehlUncut]

But they did and it wasnt "great". You mean the Trailer team should do movies.

[@censoredduetowrongthink]

I had the same thought midway through, but the sad reality is that this is probably 60% of the max runtime cinematics they produce can be before they turn to shit. Anything requiring actual story or in depth thought falls apart, hence why the trailers are good. They would do well with one-off short stories where leaving things more open ended actually works.

[@IncognitoActivado]

W@keness is bad, so no.

[@dimosguy]

The trailer team show more love than the Developers 😂

@@Morkftw if blizzard is so bad then how'd they get melee right after not doing ARPG since ds3? And GGG still has to constantly lie in their league teasers with "melee improvements". They have rarely gotten melee into a okay state, only to nerf it into oblivion.

[@Ziegeri]

Most of that QoL should have been there in the launch, also where are the in-game auction house and built-in community builds? But for sure PoE is little by little going more sensible way, might be playable soon.

[@RainNColer]

@@Ziegeri I don't think you understand the complexity of PoE builds let alone implementing/migrating something like PoB into the game. And btw, when PoE launched GGG's development team was probably like 1/4 the size of people involved in designing this new D4 class.

A lot of things have happened to games in those ten years, and PoE is no exception. Dude, did you follow Blizzard developer videos and diaries before d4 came out? Do you remember the level of hype? I do. And you're making that mistake again, believing in these PoE gameplay trailers that definitely won't be downgraded and most of the mechanics will be killed and turned into garbage.

Nah no need for diablo. They made a good choice focusing on memphisto now. They already did Diablo and Baal before and now it's the time for memphisto to shine.

I’m torn because I used to play paladin & crusader. But as a Curandero (Quiché Maya Healer) who’s Guatemalan, I’m not only surprised, but extremely excited that they actually did a “Mayan” type character. I’m 34 and have played since Diablo 1. Never expected that.

Neyrille is the worst character in diablo 4's story.

[@ovechkin100]

yea she was pretty uninteresting through the story. literally just a random person without much character, yet we let her make a major decision at the end of the game, and it turns out to be a bad choice. welp, looks like shes going to either become some crazy demon we kill, or someone we have to save in the dlc.

[@Entreped]

@@ovechkin100 Neyrille was annoying from the start but I tolerated her and thought the story was okay. Then I got to the end of the game. I should have guessed Blizzard would do something that asinine. Only bought the game on discount when S4 released and now I won't be wasting a penny on the expansion. Not just because of the woke storytelling but because D4 is the most unbalanced Diablo game they have ever released. I leveled each class this season to 100 and the disparity in power is disgusting. They have no idea what they are doing. The skill tree is overly simple. The paragon board is overly convoluted. The loot and the endgame are boring. It's just a giant step down from D2 and even D3. Blizzard is a joke. Maybe they should try hiring some actual talent. Then again, no one in their right mind would want to work there.

[@FormattedWill]

technically speaking, they could've theoretically added spiritborn and paladin given the location kind of speaks to both of them. D2's expansion was 2 classes. LoD was one of the best expansions they've made. Compared to that this doesn't look as substantial. which is a little crazy given how much larger a company they are

[@dind20078]

Actually what you describe, the combination of skills and building on each other was already in diablo 3. Even before poe or anyone. They removed it by the time they released the game. We actually have working footage of combining skills, them having effects on each other and so. So i guess blizzard decided they do not wanna do it.

[@TwistedWulf]

The whole spirit guardian shit is stupid it's basically another take on a Druid that don't use shape shift instead just summons them.

I uniquely feel like every time I die in D4 it’s BS. It’s always a large chain CC, random after death effect, or some other mechanic you couldn’t see. There’s never difficult content you’re struggling to maintain health and end up losing to the core content. You’re at full health in cruise control, then you’re dead. I feel like if you enjoy hardcore in D4 something is wrong with you.

​@@Kross415 are you unable to answer a simple question? Or did you just not play d2?

[@applejackruckus7500]

​@37thgungrunts I'll answer for him. It's DEI because of the simple fact that this does not follow lore. No matter how you sell it or cut it. During the initial invasion of the prime evils, where were these guys? Are we to assume that all three of the prime evils existing at the same time is less of a threat than what is going on now because they didn't show during those events? Of course not. They were added for the convenience of introducing another perciveably underrepresented people. Just for the sake of adding it. They went entirely against what the fan base asked for just so an equally DEI artist can flex. And it's bad. It's a reskinned monk made by lazy game devs. And before you make the argument that Paladins are extinct in lore, Barbarians are too. Arreat got nuked when Tyrael cast Azurewrath into the Worldstone.

It’s almost like they take certain previous classes from previous games and melding certain aspects of each class into one with a new class title.

Don`t worry about the Paladin class. I think, Blizzard decided to make Diablo classes like in Hero Siege - more than 20.
