There's a reason why the game is an MMO and you see other people zipping by on their 20 dollar horse armour or 30 dollar cosmetic set
Funny though what they think makes them look special makes me think they're idiots...I guess I should be grateful for those suckers for subsidising game support for the rest of us.
Personally I think everyone who pays for this crap in any capacity is an idiot, but your mileage may vary
Alot of us grew up with Diablo. Eat a penis.
This isn't Diablo and it wasn't made by the Blizzard everyone remembers fondly.

googled the story, looks like they avoided any embarrassing dumbfuckery by not having anything interesting happen.

you don't even get to fight
inarius because lilith kills him while he monologues after the least exciting battle since I pulled my balls out of the hole in my shorts 5 minutes ago

The obvious and yet most interesting turn of events would have been to have those two working in concert. Much like WoW they took potentially interesting characters and do the least interesting things with them.

30$ for a cosmetic armor set... And the horse armor price is even more hilarious. Blizzard can't help themselves but try to milk this from day 1, they know they will break 10 million sales in less than a month.
Wait until you see what Path of Exile is doing. At least D4 has free transmog and the sets are nice. Path of Exile's is a paid consumable and your character will look like absolute shit without league challenge rewards and standard equipment.

I played it for about a minute. I didn't want to spoil much for myself and I was pissed off I couldn't make a super hot sorceress. But it's all good, I made her into a goth chick which acts as a sort of cheat code. If you take a mediocre chick that's a 5 or 6 and make her goth she can become a 7.

Diablo 4 failing sucks, because what this mean is that GGG's shitty speed meta zoom zoom currency farm 3rd party trading bloated shitfest of a game will once again have 0 competition and they won't be pushed to change and fix their game.

Luckily D4 is not failing so far. We will see in 2 months how many are still playing

Yeah it's a fair point about PoE. It is a 'free' game for casual play but if you get at all serious on it you have to drop cash on tabs and stuff.

I don't care about PoE. I played it like 10 minutes about 7 or 8 years ago and thought it was just another poor man's Diablo, which it is. The skill tree THING, whatever you want to call it, is the most embarassing thing I've ever seen.

I've never understood the mindset of anyone who pays for cosmetics. By their very nature games are transient things that will eventually be replaced by the next big thing so spending real money on something that will be irrelevant or even inaccessible a short time into the future and has no meaningful impact on gameplay doesn't seem like a good investment to me.
The same thing applies to the game according to that logic

It does not matter what you care about if we are talking in general here. D3 screwed it and made once most popular aRPG brand (by far) into something a random people beat with their completely new aRPG. Sorry but that is failure anyway you turn it.
This is same shit that D&D made with 4e that then turned Pathfinder into most popular PnP system in the world.

Great Deceiver Gregz Modron Best Diablo 1 mod?

I know of,

1. Belzebub
2. Tchernobog
3. The Hell
4. The Awakening

Right now I'm playing The Hell 2 (recently got finished @ v1.25, dev is moving on to TH3).
It has really great features like a huge stash, loads of new items and item types, new systems like perks and traits, new quests etc.
If you complained about modern aRPGs being too casual, it might be just for you, because the difficulty is brutal. You will hit roadblocks all the time and have to grind them out.
I have a lvl 40 archer with decent gear and I'm abusing the systems as best as I can and I'm still getting oneshot in Hell.
For me it is fun despite being grindy and unforgiving, so it might be for you (be warned though). The quality of the new content on the other hand is excellent and it is abundant.
