I'm not even sure how they're going to approach it. Demon Hunter would just oneshot everything.

Yeah considering RoS was 35, that much for a character would be insane, right? Right?

Give us the deeets plz.
The "remake" is just a dungeon with 16 levels and 4 bosses. It's not going to have NPCs, so no story. Not really a remake of Diablo, just a dungeon run. The tilesets don't really look like the original, reused assets from Diablo 3. Event is once a year in January.
A new Armory system to quickly swap out specs and armor sets.
Unsocketing gems will be free soon.

OMG the complaints on the forum are hilarious "this isn't the content I wanted for the game I think is terrible and broken and ugly and a complete joke/waste of my time."
Like why are these people even playing Diablo 3 let alone getting disappointing over new content if the game is so fucking bad to begin with. I would never devote myself to something I hate so much.

Not even new assets to put under that filter? And no NPCs at all? Wow, it keeps getting worse.
Welp, fuckin disappointing

You do teleport to Old Tristram, but everyone is dead and the city is in ruin. Pretty disappointed in that. They are adding more old music to the game, though.
Edit: They did say there would be plenty of easter eggs to find in Old Tristram.

sooo thats it?.... no D4 ...
They would have announced that during the Opening Ceremony if it was going to be announced today.
A good necromancer skeleton army build could easily get all the keys and get a torch solo. Best thing about it was you didn't need badass gear to do it. The only advantage Paladin had was it could mf run faster and pvp. That's why I mf ran with a paladin.
that looks... barely any different

I see that Blizzard is continuing the Diablo 3 tradition of minimum-effort game design.

The bolded is probably the best thing I've heard so far. Albeit somewhat belated.

Yeah, I don't know why they even announced it this early. Well, because they have nothing else I guess, but it's really shitty that we have to wait like 6 months for this.
lol, damn, sounds lame.
Hello disappointment, my old friend.

That's a shame. Not a fan of the look/feel of D3. Was hoping for a proper 'remake' of either D1 or D2.
(Or just let us add these games to the Battle.net client, FFS Blizzard)

Reminder, as of 2015 this is the game that had 30-fucking-million sales; http://www.polygon.com/2015/8/4/9097497/diablo-3-sales-30-million-units
And this is what they do. They're not capitalizing on a new game. A new expansion. An offshoot.
This game sold 30-FUCKING-MILLION copies.

To be fair we do still know they've been hiring for a new Diablo game. Just not ready to show yet.
But I agree it's brutal the lack of support Diablo seems to get.

Welp. If ever there was an incentive for me to finally check out PoE, this crushing letdown is it.
Fucking clown shoes, Blizzard.

They really have handled Diablo 3 so terribly in the past year. They've left it out to die with very minimal changes. It was at least maintaining some interest when they were iterating on the sets and tweeking them each season. They just gave up that approach to bloat numbers and this past season they haven't even bothered to change anything. If all they add is the necromancer without revamping other class sets, the game won't really be worth coming back to.
I understand they're now getting into the development of a new diablo behind the scenes and anything that happens to d3 is basically life support. They just shouldn't have teased anything to get people's hopes up. I mean, they really couldn't have put in enough resources to get diablo 2 to run in HD at this point? Fairly piss poor 20th anniversary.

All the evidence points to them having the main chunk of the team working on D4, so it makes sense that they would have a much smaller group working on D3 in the mean time.
I understand everyones frustrations, but games take a while to be ready to be shown, and by all accounts whatever D4 is currently it's only been in production for a short time. No need to write the entire company off just for that.
I'm still waiting for a buff to Wrath of the Wastes. I feel that day may never come.

The remake is free? Aww yesss!
Couldn't care less about the necromancer though.

Wasn't implying necros weren't just relating my own experience or why clannmates of mine loved that class.
I am pretty sure they are making D4 but it is going to take them more than they would like to, so they put a small part of the team to make new patches for D3 to keep people interested. From the things they showed in the panel and the early stages the Necromancer is it is obvious they haven't been developing this for more than 2 months.
