It's too bad because Dragonflight has actually been a pretty good bounce way back expac for WoW, but should give real pause to people about Diablo 4 - which they're charging for the base game before they'll also charge for seasonal BPs - at least with PoE, you get the base game free.

Hell if I remember I have half the powers it's a win. Was building some silly flying device to get on a ledge and my 4 yr old comments, 'just use the port up power' and I feel like an idiot.

At least the seasonal BPs only affect cosmetics (from what I've read). I've never given a **** about that stuff.

Pretty sure all the new “hero missions” or whatever are locked behind the battle pass now too. It’s just classic blizzard in every sense. Overwatch is such a great feeling game, but of course blizzard needs to take a **** on it. They stole the soul of WoW players now it’s overwatch players turn

Oh my bad I was referring to Diablo. I don't play Overwatch, though I would have had they actually gone and implemented some PvE.

It's hero missions that were cancelled. Coop story/campaign missions are what we're getting starting in like August but they haven't gone into any details about how large those drops will be or if they will be monetized. I was working on the assumption that the story missions would be sold in bundles or something, but that was before the announcement that they got rid of the hero progression stuff.

They went into some detail on the battlepass in the Diablo livestream. Basically, the free track of the battlepass will have some sort of currency you can get to give yourself certain boosts to help reach max level faster when you reroll in future seasons, but those are also level locked so someone can't just pay to complete the whole battlepass and get an xp boost that no one else gets. Everything on the paid track will be cosmetic stuff.
I'm in my 40s, most of my gaming came on controlers with less buttons. At my age there's some **** I don't think I have the hand/eye coordination speed to do anymore. Luckily there's usually a work around.StickeeFingaz wrote:WeekapaugGroove wrote:Right?
