This term - Diablo Drought - was used for the first time back in late 2008, some months after the WWI 2008 announcements and the all the subsequent BlizzCon-related Diablo news had died out a bit. It has since been used time and again to complain over lack of new information about our favourite game. But is that really a fair assessment of how Blizzard have engaged with the community?
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.
All those games had to release without bugs.
Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.
Diablo III: Season 28 brings with it the Altar of Rites, an altar full of unlockable bonuses and potions that will require the gathering of tons of resources. One of things needed is the Staff of Herding, which also unlocks the famous Cow Level known as Whimsyshire. Here's how to craft that staff, for those that either have forgotten, or have never completed it.
Seems a bit of a dry spot to me. Sorry about that...
Yep... Quite dry.
There should be more content and info in the website.
They could still have done more. I mean the whole twitter thing is more of a nuisance than actual contact.
I still don't see much news but I think SCII is on everyones radar atm anyway!
