Those who have been avoiding Diablo

Those who have been avoiding Diablo due to D2R Items its lackluster range of loot may also discover sufficient new loot that warrants another look. Items are now designed to work in conjunction with each other, Mayberry explains, and there are plenty of combinations for interesting character builds. "I saw something fall that made me feel like I had an extra Massacre.

It caused gold rain down. It was then that I discovered something that increased my gold drop to 35 percent or something to make more gold. Then I discovered something that, when I took gold, it would depend on how much I took home.

It would temporarily boost my strength. So gold became a powerup for me! With my Wizard I would condense as many players as I could, then burn them down, they'll spit out gold and then I'd take the gold and my toughness, temporarily was boosted in hundreds of percent."

Mayberry states that he's feeling as if he's missing "half a game" in the event that he switches back to vanilla Diablo, but does this mean players be required to pay more money to get the experience they deserve? "You don't have to. We've created it so you do not. Patch 2.0.1 is totally attainable to any player who doesn't purchase it. But it's an injustice not to buy it, as we've added new features to Diablo. I'm also feeling that it's true that Reaper of Souls really pushes Diablo into the direction it's needed to go."

And what's the next step? What's following for Diablo? Is it ladders and tournaments or a real PvP arena, or bring these updates more regularly to console versions of the game? "These are the things we're talking about now. There aren't any concrete plans as of yet. The first part of our content plan developed. The first update.

After that, Josh really wants to observe what the public thinks. What's the response. There's a myriad of different things that we could be doing. We really want to see what, based on the gamers' reactions towards Reaper of  Souls, what should we do next. This is the strategy we're using right now."
