Will progress be wiped?

Soooooo this is awkward but you might as well hear it direct but....a while back we did sell a small portion of the company to a big company to get the funding we needed to finish the game. This is something we have posted publicly on our forums, discord, reddit, steam page and more so it's not exactly hidden. On the plus side, they haven't tried to change anything we are doing.

Thank god. This makes me extremely happy and I think I'm going to go and buy your game right now.

Very cool, I hope you have fun :)

And that's perfectly fine. As long as you guys keep it from becoming pay to win, I have no issue with that. Thanks for letting us know also :)

Awesome, have fun :)

I'm so glad you guys aren't hitting us with thousands of micro-transactions like most others are doing. It's so refreshing tbh...

Just so there aren't any unwelcome surprises later, we do have a strictly cosmetic only mtx shop with minipets, portals and fancy hats. More things to come but they won't be functional in any way, just cool looking.

Please give us the opportunity to change our mastery and speed leveling. I want to play with the characters you created but dont have time to level them up.

Class selection is an important part of your character's journey. Being able to reselect your class is not something we are interested in doing. We have no intention of adding a "D3 vault gold speed leveling" equivalent.

Will there be a battle pass? And if so will all characters be able to earn progress on it or just seasonal/ cycle characters. The one gripe I have with Diablo 4 at the moment as a full time working dad is I want to be able to progress a battle pass but just want to do it on one character.

No.

No sarcasm here lol. Im just comparing it to other subreddits, where, as many opinions as users lol. And 99% of them complete nonsense. Here we have official answer, which is nice. I wish more devs did this kind of things.

Cool beans, thanks :)

Such a bless having an actual dev here who’s answering most important questions, instead of making rumors by users.

Just because I'm terrible at sarcasm, I have to double check, are there other questions that I'm missing?

Have you tried enabling steamer mode with quality settings you think are appropriate?

Yeah it sucks. But apparently it's a thing. Either join in on the fun and new content and start again and again and again.. . Or say f*** it like I do and miss out and level a new char when YOU want to! I always saw it as a cheap way to keep you occupied without devs really putting to much effort into the game. SEASONS!

Please see the stickied comment I just left for full real details.

We will not wipe your characters.

We are using a seasonal ladder system. We are calling them cycles. When a cycle ends, all characters get transitioned to Legacy. This is effectively where all current characters are now. When 1.0 launches in February, we will start a new cycle ladder and people can choose to create a cycle character or a legacy character.

Those that are opposed to a system like this are usually concerned about the new content only being available to new characters. This is not the case. You will be able to use the item factions, use the new masteries and engage will all the new 1.0 content on legacy characters in February. We do not plan to maintain two gameplay environments.

We plan to continue to include the updates to the game in the legacy environment at the same time. This is because the major features we have planned for the first few big patches are things we consider very important to the game. It is possible that we might start to e...

after finishing question about stash

Comment

Stashes (and crafting materials / gold) are shared cross characters of like game modes. To determine if two characters share a stash, they must select the same option from every one of these 3 categories.

HC/SC

Normal/Solo Account found

Cycle/Legacy

So all of your SC, normal, legacy characters (the current default) will share a stash.

What do you think about separating movement from aiming (Twinstick/WASD) as an option?

I tried to not bias this poll in any way, so please elaborate:
"You are affected by alternate movement options being made available regardless of if you use them or not." - but only because of the development time, right? and thats why a added this as an option to select. And making a "thought experiment" of it not having additional effects in required for an unbiased poll, otherwise id have to incorporate any possible effect and then this would get much to complicated for a poll.
"best not to ask for reasons on only some options" - all options have a reason(except the thwo where im asking):
1. i want to use it, 2.&3. I dont care, 5.Dont want devs to spent time.
These are the Reasons that i know of, thats why i provided them as options
4.&6. are some additions just to give more voting options, but i dont know reasons
And if someone selects those, it would be nice to provide a reason, like all other options inherently do

Ive read in other posts...

So offline you aren't affected by it at much but those that play online are affected because it suddenly becomes harder to compete on the ladder if you don't use it. Also the development time (which is not insignificant). So the are at least 2 ways people are generally affected. So seeding that you are unaffected at the top immediately biases the poll.

Then making the options end it "will use it" implies that we are making it and people are selecting what they are going to do when it is added. The options should say"would use" and "wouldn't use".

Making a poll or survey it's actually a really difficult thing to do without inserting your own bias. Even the order of the options can affect the outcome.

Then by asking for an explanation of the negative options is saying that you agree with the pros and don't need a reason from them but the people who picked the "wrong" option need to explain themselves. Bit of an exaggeration to illustrate the point.

How about using spare uniques as a vehicle for upgrading a single affix to T6/T7.

Comment

Originally posted by Frostygale

I am interested to hear the reasoning, even if I also disagree with OP’s idea (personally I find LP exciting and at a pleasant rarity right now).

It boils down to that in order to maintain relative rarity of LP between uniques, the amount of each unique that you would need to collect in order to get the extra LP would vary wildly. Sure you'd only need 7 beekeepers gloves to get that 1st LP but you'd need something silly like 50,000 1LP wings to get a 2LP wings. (I made the numbers up to illustrate the point but it's a big difference)

Entire zone respawning when popping back to town is kind of annoying.

Sorry to dredge this back up but didn't want to make a new post - I assume this still isn't fixed? I started LE a few days ago and I have died from TPing back into a massive hoard of enemies I wasn't expecting more than once

You should have a significant invulnerability period upon entering a new zone. If you're not getting that then you should report it as a bug please.

Gotcha, sorry it was a quote in a quote, I didn't track the name.

But I agree, both about "options" and about biased polling "data" .

Some things make sense as options, like keybinds. But how a character controls/plays has so many knock down effects on balance and even how skills work and feel, that it seems strictly in the realm of design decisions. Not to mention any technical challenges with animation or otherwise that's inevitably going to cause.

It's funny you mention that, the animator is the only technical hurdle we would need to work on.

Options that provide significant advantages aren't options.
Wasn't that basically the gist of the EHG response about WASD in the other threads?

That's the root of the issue yes. (and it was me you're referring to)

Is it a rogue identity like Falconer will also have 4 mastery skills?

Details on the falconer will be available after the class reveal in January.

I watched the last developer stream and I could swear that the guy said something along those lines.

I haven't really keot up with 1.0 details so there is a chance that I misunderstood something.

Nope, not what I said. I said all skills will have trees.
