This pisses me off so much.

Simply answering and saying, "No we don't is fine". If you get boos, so what.

Ending by saying "Do you guys not all have phones?" or something is arrogant and entitled. You are literally flipping off your own fanbase.

Blizzard, I will personally not touch anything from you anymore. That reaction pisses me off beyond belief.
 
Yeah well,one of many errors ;)

Reskinning an older chinese diablo clone as the next big diablo game was a bit of a farce though

Its closer to Endless of god
Though the fact is,netease does lots of these on the same base engine,and Immortal is one more skin for it now

I Will play it. Sounds fucking awesome. Diablo 3 on android. Woooow. I Don't know why y'all snobs have to rage a bout a fucking game getting released on mobile.
 
yeah gotta say the amount of twisted nickers over this makes me laugh. Gamers are so entitled, get over it I for one hope its decent on mobile since to date 99% of mobile games have been pretty shite, will be nice to have something to play on the bog.

As a Diablo fan I love the franchise and actually bought and upgraded my PC to play Diablo. But we have been waiting so f*c king long for Diablo 4 or remaster of some sort but no they release a shitty mobile game instead of something the fans wanted for about +-3 years. We don't mind the mobile game but no PC version for all the true fans of your franchise. That is ignorance. And down right sad.

Again I stress we don't mind there is a mobile game but about 3 years of nothing and all you give us is a mobile game. Not even a pc port... Not listening to fans. If you know the community it's long overdue. But Activision can't monitize it. The backlash they got from the auction house put a sour taste in there mouth.
 
Yeah, how to alienate your fan base and literally just go after the money. Its one of those where instant gratification over long term vision comes in.

How this will play out, we will have to see. They will probably announce Diablo 4 in the next 18mths anyway. Then the mobs will return, they will rejoice, then they will nitpick and demand that people be burnt at the stake again.

Loved D3, wont touch this mobile crap, ever
 
Outsourcing the Diablo brand to an Asian mobile company skilled at extracting money from naive Chinese children and gambling addicts - no problem.

Just don't tell me this is something I should be excited about.
 
A Quote from YouTube.

This is why people are mad like me - You have taken a cherished franchise that has been a beloved part of more than 2/3rds my 35 years of life - and cheapened it with a tone-deaf, out of touch, rehash of a bastardized copy to please a market that doesn't care that is counter to every major brand decision you have made - then you derided us for our displeasure, then you gaslight us with your metrics manipulation. You not only told us that you don't care about the people who have supported your organization for over two decades - but you suddenly decided to become abusive and tell us to get used to it and like it.
 
I am fine with it remember the mobile market is much bigger then console and pc markets put together so if you look from a business stand point then its makes sense
 
Firstly sorry for my not being a native English speaker as i am Chinese. And this is my first post, sorry for any offense if i made.
What Netease has done in game field is some thing you foreigner guys cannot imagine
If Netease continues its common practice in Diablo,and you will get :
There could be a limit in how many times you enter Nephalem Rift. For example, it could cost 20 energy every time you enter it, and you have 100 energy everyday
All the gems and weapons could be got from buying something like a gift box(with DOLLAR!!!). Opening a gift box will give you a random weapon armor or gem and its attribute will be random too.
Reforging the attribute will cost tons of gold and you can buy gold directly with dollar. And i Guess the probability of new attributes you get will be modified. For example, the probability of getting ‘intelligence ‘ in your weapon reforging will be very very low if you are a mage.
The amount of how much material you get from rift could be reduced greatly.Maybe spending all energy of one day will allow you to reforging your weapon one time.
You will get a VIP level depends on how much DOLLAR you spend in game
According to your VIP level ,everyday you will receive gold ,blood shards ,energy(remember what you need to enter the rift?) or everything you need in game.
Each time you raise your VIP level you will get a gift box(maybe a higher level gift box called VIP box)
Higher VIP level will give you some privileges such as others(with lower level) cannot kick you out of a team , cannot mute you or maybe you will get a Better temper customer service than the lowleveller
You can buy ‘boost pill’ with dollar(or you can get it from VIP daily gift). Each pill will give you 20% higher gold income exp income blood shards income for one hour
Maybe the weapons will be classified with A BCDEF level weapons F level weapon will have one attributes. E with two and so on. High level weapons can be get in giftbox. And if you open 10 boxes in one time you will be guaranteed to get a new box(donot dare think you will be sure to get a A Level weapon if you open 100boxes in one time and you are a 100Lv super VIP, we are fair)
And about the price, i don’t know dollar. But in china , Overwatch cost 128 RMB and with 128 RMB you will get probably 10 boxes.
In another Netease game called 阴阳师 ,the probability of getting a highest level 式神(sorry for don’t know how to translate, just like weapon in diablo) is about 1.2% for each box you open. And the art tribute need to be modified with gold.
And there will be no Pseudo-random mechanism. We are fair as i said previously.
Are you amazing?
It’s normal in China
Especially in Netease the ‘pig farm’
Ps: we call it pig farm because Netease do have pig farm in reality, no other means
Pps: the price of Netease pork is very expensive

Something you should know about Netease

Yes, so fuck your fanbase because business is business.
 
It's just too much easy money for then. Drift0r has a good video about it. His was about the Command And Conquer mobile game but all his points are valid for this too.

What gets me is how people are all saying "how can they treat fans this way?" and "it's a slap in the face to fans!"

Guys...Blizzard has never, ever given a crap about fans or anything fans have to say. Even EA acknowledges fan input and feedback more than Blizzard. This is not Blizzard being disrespectful or mean. This is just Blizzard being Blizzard. They know they can treat people like dogs because everyone will still buy their games regardless.

This is not true.
Blizzard cared about its player base many years ago.

They cancelled Starcraft: Ghost because it didn't meet their standards and they knew their fans wouldn't be happy with it.
The shelved Titan and eventually turned some of it into Overwatch.

Things changed when Acticrap came on board and it's been downhill since then.

As a Diablo fan myself who preorderd it long before release date and waiting a shit ass long time for the game same as other Diablo fans.

I FUCKING LOVE THE IDEA OF DIABLO ON ANDROID!
 
It's long overdue? Is it really? This is ActiBlizz we are talking about.

Next to Valve's work on HL3 they have by far the slowest release cycle in the biz. I'm talking like a decade apart.
Diablo 2 explansion to Diablo 3 = 10 years
Starcart Brood War to Starcraft 2 = 11 years

Don't count cash grabs like remasters.

So let's see the current games: Rise of the Necromancer was released in 2017 so that means it seems reasonable to except Diablo 4 around 2027-2028.
Actually let's they've gotten a bit faster at this and say they do it in 8 years. So 2025.

But don't fret because giving them the same generous 8 years you can expect Starcraft 3 around 2023 already.

And I'm sure someone has at least started drawing a demon or two for the next Diablo so we can count it as in development at least.

Honestly you Actiblizz fans are silly. Your wait has barely begun.
 
damn i can't wait for this game

Your in denial. Just accept it
 
Get a fat slice of that mobile pie.
Slowly grow the notion that hXc gamers should be playing AAA-derivatives on their phones.
Slowly grow demand for more gaming phones.
Rince and repeat.

Diablo 4? Hahahaha.
