Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

Hmm depends on what you mean by "few" hours, takes quite a bit for 6pc set if you start from rares only since you farm slow as shit in low torment and get low amounts of blood shards. It's not very long, but still, I think it would probably add like 6-8hours or so. Thing is, it's a bit random at the same time, you always have the outliers that'll find 6pc in like an hour because their first 6 set drops are of the same set, meanwhile you have the unlucky bastards that'll take 20hours cause they get blackthorne out of the ass and shit and a quite evenly spread of each set so they can't cube the dupes to make one.

It certainly wouldn't make a big difference. The main "issue" here isn't the free set, it's the fact as soon as you get 6pc, they're so powerful you jump straight to T10 viable in groups, potentially higher. For solo I think 6pc isn't enough on its own for good clearspeed, you also need F&R, without it I feel it's not worth it over just doing T9, although it might depend on the set you're using I guess. Still, you jump really high right away, and adding even not very good rolled legendaries in other slots to complete your build, you're jumping to like 60-70 right away which is insane xp so you get insane paragons which further increase the speed at which you progress and so on. Obviously slows down after a while, but I think it's more the powercreep than the free set that make it so you reach that high that fast.

Well even if he was still there I doubt he'd work on D4 anyway, his name is tainted for the Diablo franchise for sure. I think if they used the current Diablo guys they'd probably make a pretty good game. I kinda wish they had more depth to builds and characters and shit like that, as stuff is relatively cookie cutter in the current game. Such as Sets > everything besides a few specific builds with LoN but since they forgot to buff LoN and buffed almost every set this patch that's also kinda obsolete, and once you have 6pc of a set, plus the 2-3pieces that make the set actually viable designed entirely to work with the set, that leaves you with very few choices, and mostly illusion of choice when some of the "choices" like F&R or Traveller are so stupidly strong. So classes have like 4-5builds each or so, but not really ways to deviate from these or customize them very much, which is a bit boring. Which isn't bad, considering the amount of classes, it just doesn't open much room for discovery when everything is dictated by the presence of sets.

Also stems heavily from runes not being equal at all, so if set a buff skill x, you'll probably always pick rune y on skill x because it's the best rune, and you'll build the rest of your stuff to match rune y element, forcing you into specific runes for everything else too, to an extent. There's some skills that see interesting choices like Multishot with cold versus fire, but so many skills are just 1 viable rune and then maybe one support one and one leveling one, but mostly a lot of useless ones like increased slows and chance to stun and shit which with the way CC is treated are close to useless.

Anyway still, game would be a ton more fun than D3 at release for sure. Although I think I'd still rather get an expansion than a new Diablo. If they make a new game they'd have to restart from nothing, which means it'd be lacking a bunch of features. I'd rather new features be added to current feature rich D3. Any news at all would be good though, fucking Blizzard.
