Blizzard released a video recently, Promising that normal difficulty like all the other Diablo's had was good fun. but the harder difficulties, you will very much notice the difference!



this is exciting for me, I always love a challenge and the fact I will be able to play Diablo in a challenging mode makes me want it so much more! what are your thoughts guys?

I thought by the title that Blizzard was promising death threats for this or that. Shame :\

The only way to play Diablo is on Hardcore.
When you get your guy to the last boss on hell dificulty and your character is Level 99 hardcore you know your the Hoss's Doss.

Is the Hardcore going to differ any from the previous Diablos?

I just want to play the game at this rate lol...though I don't really have the time.

Honestly after having spent a lot of time on the beta, I think this will be easier than D2. The normal mode is a joke, the blacksmithing gear is waaaaaay too easy to get. If you are just joining a rando game with people who don't know whats going on, ya you will die. If you are running with a dedicated team this game will be a joke. Too bad for me none of my friends are going to buy this so I'm going to be getting murdered in rando games.

I'm curious. What's the point of shortening a word by only removing a single letter? I don't see the point in using rando over random.

Habit, the people I play with in SWTOR don't say "pug" they all say "rando", this normally happens on voice comms. I honestly did not even think about it, sounds better to say "randos" out loud than "random players". There are also usually a lot expletives interlaced in to it.

Definitely going to start off in Nightmare mode and NOT dude-bro mode lol...1 clicking.....

The Demon Hunter looks like its going to take a like of Microing though. So I will definitely hit that class up first as I love MM.

Dude the beta is 1/4 of ACT ONE. Do you remember how easy act one in D2 was? Are you kidding me? You one shot like everything. How can you judge the WHOLE GAME by 1/4 of 1/4 of the game? I dont understand how people are saying it is going to be easy. BS gear is easy to get cause you hit level 10 and just farm gold from the same few quests. You farm items and other things. If you had to still level, repair, buy new things. You would not have as much gold as you do in the beta.

[Novaura]

I wasn't judging it off the Beta alone...everyone knows how streamlined and...ported they have been making it since they have a strong possibility of making it into a console port.

That and as I said before its been streamlined...anyways its going to be a great game but as a lot of what they had said, on normal its just for casual players. If you want the feeling of possibly dying a lot and working hard to beat areas go with the more harder ones.

They even said normal was basically 1 clicking....so how am I judging it on the beta when the devs just said that...

[ToastedWaffle]

They have also talked about increasing the damage off all the mobs in normal mode as well. I believe they are going to do that.

tbh... i thought it was kinda hard for my taste. Diablo and Diablo 2 was fine. Once u get decent gears u could sweep anything. Except diablo, but maybe cuz i was like 7 years old when i was playing that.

but the beta, playing as a demon hunter doing like 10 dps, kinda tough to beat some, while an ally... say a barbarian just jumps in and wipes everything. Probably of my gears, maybe the class is bad but hard to say in the end until the game comes out.

[Novaura]

Well the DH in my opinion is meant to be a light hitter who jumps into combat and does the damage and jumps out. The barbarian if your tank and is supposed to hit hard.
