Blizzard just needs to stop making games and start making movies. If I could see a full length film The way they make their cinematics I'd be all for that.
I had the same thought midway through, but the sad reality is that this is probably 60% of the max runtime cinematics they produce can be before they turn to shit. Anything requiring actual story or in depth thought falls apart, hence why the trailers are good. They would do well with one-off short stories where leaving things more open ended actually works.

You can have a dark gritty theme and still make it so people can see what's going on. There are more colors than red and black. D2 was dark and gritty while having an easy to read game.
That's what I was going to say that and the fact that it's just druid but without the additional forms. It's like if the barbarian and the druid had a baby that was somehow inclined to be a sorcerer 🤣

Looking to go Spiritborn with Gorilla and Centipede with Thorns. There are a lot of new legendries that increase Thorns and more damage to poisoned enemies as well as taking all direct damage as Poison but you gain an insane increase in maximum poison resist. Also, the base gorilla ability will inflict your thorns into the enemies. Next builds would be Rogue spin2win or Sorc with Frozen Orb proc'ing Lightning Spear or Chain Lightning especially with the new conjurations.
Yeah, Druids are known for their martial arts and dexterity playstyle where they dash around the battlefield spreading dots. They are totally the same with no differences whatsoever.
Heard a lot about how this class's abilities work. They have 5 builder abilities, only one of them is good because it applies Vulnerability and hits multiple targets. Then they have a bunch of abilities that spend their resource that they build with the builders, and some of their abilities are on cooldowns. It's nuts man I dunno how they thought of it, so unique compared to the other classes that are all also very unique.
The reason we don’t have Paladin is because Blizzard said this is a Sanctuary that the High Heavens have all but abandoned. I’m hoping this will be the first Diablo with more than 1 expansion and we get more of what’s going on in the next expansion and also get a Paladin.
I think my biggest problem with diablo 4 as well as 3 is that all the abilities between classes feel like the same crap but with a different skin on it. This is an arcade machine designed to milk you for money.
yea she was pretty uninteresting through the story. literally just a random person without much character, yet we let her make a major decision at the end of the game, and it turns out to be a bad choice. welp, looks like shes going to either become some crazy demon we kill, or someone we have to save in the dlc.
@@ovechkin100 Neyrille was annoying from the start but I tolerated her and thought the story was okay. Then I got to the end of the game. I should have guessed Blizzard would do something that asinine. Only bought the game on discount when S4 released and now I won't be wasting a penny on the expansion. Not just because of the woke storytelling but because D4 is the most unbalanced Diablo game they have ever released. I leveled each class this season to 100 and the disparity in power is disgusting. They have no idea what they are doing. The skill tree is overly simple. The paragon board is overly convoluted. The loot and the endgame are boring. It's just a giant step down from D2 and even D3. Blizzard is a joke. Maybe they should try hiring some actual talent. Then again, no one in their right mind would want to work there.
D4 community: Fuck they never listen man Poe community: How do they keep adding so much every 3 months and listen to exactly what we like and don't like and change it accordingly.
I think Spirit Warrior would have sounded better. They obviously aztec/maya and look like jaguar warriors. A name isn't a reason to hate the game though come on lol
I’m torn because I used to play paladin & crusader. But as a Curandero (Quiché Maya Healer) who’s Guatemalan, I’m not only surprised, but extremely excited that they actually did a “Mayan” type character. I’m 34 and have played since Diablo 1. Never expected that.
Plot twist; D4 is a prequel to D2, and this is how Mephisto and his soul stone ended up Travincal. That's where she's headed. Don't ask me to back this up.
i was really dead sure, that a shield class melee would be set for the expansion. I mean... you got shields already in game, only for necros as stat-token. But not one Melee class with shield bash or anything... that seemed so so obvious for a first expansion.... i don't know what they're thinking
I would recommend actually trying the game again. The latest season fixed a lot of the issues we saw initially, so the end game loop and itemization is actually enjoyable. I didn't play since launch but I was pleasantly surprised.
@@stqui who the heck wants infinitely repeatable season resets? It's a gimmick for bad game design. If your game is good it's repeatable on its own merit
@@paintingsbypanco You sound like a guy who have never played an ARPG before. Seasons have been a stable of ARPGs forever. People are praising PoE left, right and center and they also have seasons? What are you even on about??
The thing about the GRAPHICS/ART: pros: more color (while still being diablo game), new dungeons looks very good, overworld in the new are not so much. The comparison to POE 2 is interesting because I think in term of graphics D4 have better graphics in general but POE 2 maybe lighting and details are better, so in the end looks better. But the biggest thing is VFX effects, D4 have improved over launch for sure, but still long way to look as good as POE 2, I would say it needs to be more grounded (skills effects should blend better with the environment), D4 is not cartoonish, but this lack of congruence VFZenvironment makes it look like it, makes it looks less real, more cheap. That's my constructive feedback, I think they have a good game and a franchise we all care. They have improved, so lets hope they can continue to do so (can't comment on gameplay as I haven't purchase the game, yet)
You made a great point. We needed an element to be replaced with Bleed. Barb is the only bleeder. Especially in a blood driven themed game. It would be a hard choice unless you gave it to the gorilla. So it’d still be physical
I hate that this expansion happened because an idiot took the worldstone thinking that she would protect it better knowing that eben an entire order of elite soldiers and the most powerful magi failed because of the corrupting power the stone has.
Nah no need for diablo. They made a good choice focusing on memphisto now. They already did Diablo and Baal before and now it's the time for memphisto to shine.
I don't lose sleep over not playing this anymore. I keep up with it in hopes they might pique my interest. They still have not. I usually play holy classes too. We get a jungle paladin instead.
technically speaking, they could've theoretically added spiritborn and paladin given the location kind of speaks to both of them. D2's expansion was 2 classes. LoD was one of the best expansions they've made. Compared to that this doesn't look as substantial. which is a little crazy given how much larger a company they are
Incan Warrior with jaguar helm looks new and unique, never been done a million times before. Oh you turn into an eagle? Well that's fresh. Jungle warrior fighting hell makes a lot more sense than Paladin for sure. Can't wait to hear the eagle screech sound every 3 seconds. Let me guess, native drums play when you summon the ape.
@37thgungrunts I'll answer for him. It's DEI because of the simple fact that this does not follow lore. No matter how you sell it or cut it. During the initial invasion of the prime evils, where were these guys? Are we to assume that all three of the prime evils existing at the same time is less of a threat than what is going on now because they didn't show during those events? Of course not. They were added for the convenience of introducing another perciveably underrepresented people. Just for the sake of adding it. They went entirely against what the fan base asked for just so an equally DEI artist can flex. And it's bad. It's a reskinned monk made by lazy game devs. And before you make the argument that Paladins are extinct in lore, Barbarians are too. Arreat got nuked when Tyrael cast Azurewrath into the Worldstone.
@@applejackruckus7500 the world is bigger than we know. And by your logic we wouldn't have the druid or assassin in d2 Since they were there in the initial invasion
@@37thgungrunts Actually they were represented in the base game before their respective expansion was even released by certain NPC's. The druids formed around the time of Bul-Kathos' rule, and have direct ties to the barbarians, but have always inhabited Scosglen. I don't know what you're getting at with the Assassins, but they had proven to have survived D2 through the lore itself. If you know anything about the ending to the Sorceress character, you'd know that she was killed off by a member of the Viz-Jaq'taar. Really, I don't know what point you're trying to make. The destruction of Arreat doesn't really affect either the Druids or the Assassins. Just the Barbarians. Just like the corruption and razing of Kurast destroyed the Paladins. They have all the reason in the world, and not a single excuse not to bring Paladins back, if Barbarians survived.
Not having a Paladin class in a game where you fight demons from hell should be a crime.
Where ya think the next $$$ is coming from?
So according to you, every Diablo game should have a Paladin? Boring, but I guess boring people like boring classes.

@@TheRetrostorian stop crying and leave... then the next playerbase has to deal with your whining.
Took long enough
Immortal also has a necro that can command their minions, and has cooler legendary powers for necro
1 hour and 30 mins to just show one class that they couldn’t even explain the origin for.
This is there entire selling point?
Geez
They explained the origin for it in the very first segment of the reveal. Still a shit class though
@@ethanwalker955 O fell asleep because I expected this info to be in the game..
did they talk about any content they are releasing? looks like the same repetitive game play loop
@@Ryan-xy1ny That's because it is the same repetitive bs they gurgled out previously.
Making a Aztec like class in a jungle based enviroment is the most generic safe thing Blizzard could have done.
Next class should be a panda. “Comon man”
Still might happen, it's jungle themed after all lmao
Don't want a Spiritbum. We've been asking for a Paladin not another druid
Its basically the poison necromancer from diablo 2 mixed with poison shaman
Not really, same move set as D3 monk though.
Literally a second Druid that seems to learn harder on essence like Necromancers.
Looking to go Spiritborn with Gorilla and Centipede with Thorns. There are a lot of new legendries that increase Thorns and more damage to poisoned enemies as well as taking all direct damage as Poison but you gain an insane increase in maximum poison resist. Also, the base gorilla ability will inflict your thorns into the enemies.
Next builds would be Rogue spin2win or Sorc with Frozen Orb proc'ing Lightning Spear or Chain Lightning especially with the new conjurations.
Oh so just a druid 2.0
Yeah, Druids are known for their martial arts and dexterity playstyle where they dash around the battlefield spreading dots. They are totally the same with no differences whatsoever.
@@stqui Not far off from a D4 werewolf + poison creeper build that I played. So yea, there's actually a lot of thematic overlap.
Name the combat style, easy coz is Jungle+Monk = Junk
HAHAHAHAHA I LOLED
Give this man an Oscar for best comment.
really doesn't feel like diablo
D2
Well yeah look at the systems they took away/added
Some QoL some not.
Won’t be buying this.
Sad.
Wont buy a other Diablo game either.
@@_MikeJon_feels nothing remotely close to d2. What?
@@_MikeJon_ Yes, D2 is what I'd want, not this garbage
@@nikovz4719 ty for letting us know
Heard a lot about how this class's abilities work. They have 5 builder abilities, only one of them is good because it applies Vulnerability and hits multiple targets.
Then they have a bunch of abilities that spend their resource that they build with the builders, and some of their abilities are on cooldowns.
It's nuts man I dunno how they thought of it, so unique compared to the other classes that are all also very unique.
The reason we don’t have Paladin is because Blizzard said this is a Sanctuary that the High Heavens have all but abandoned. I’m hoping this will be the first Diablo with more than 1 expansion and we get more of what’s going on in the next expansion and also get a Paladin.
I think my biggest problem with diablo 4 as well as 3 is that all the abilities between classes feel like the same crap but with a different skin on it. This is an arcade machine designed to milk you for money.
Neyrille is the worst character in diablo 4's story.
yea she was pretty uninteresting through the story. literally just a random person without much character, yet we let her make a major decision at the end of the game, and it turns out to be a bad choice. welp, looks like shes going to either become some crazy demon we kill, or someone we have to save in the dlc.
@@ovechkin100 Neyrille was annoying from the start but I tolerated her and thought the story was okay. Then I got to the end of the game. I should have guessed Blizzard would do something that asinine. Only bought the game on discount when S4 released and now I won't be wasting a penny on the expansion. Not just because of the woke storytelling but because D4 is the most unbalanced Diablo game they have ever released.
I leveled each class this season to 100 and the disparity in power is disgusting. They have no idea what they are doing. The skill tree is overly simple. The paragon board is overly convoluted. The loot and the endgame are boring. It's just a giant step down from D2 and even D3. Blizzard is a joke. Maybe they should try hiring some actual talent. Then again, no one in their right mind would want to work there.
She's like that one young teenage chick in Borderlands 3 that made your PC seem like a nobody.
@@cosmicfox5671 Ava. 🤮
D4 team is bunch of soft modern folks.
Crazy how the executives/suits/highers/new hires/ had a silver platter of good lore to make a moving story/characters and… they produce this 😭💀
🤷♂I think it looks cool. Would've loved having a paladins, but I'll probably play Spiritborn.
@@Lichdemonz 🤷🏽♂️ enjoy
Imagine buying a Diablo game and realizing that heat is already 1 expansion deep and still no diablo lol
In GW2 this elite specialization is called SOULBEAST
Gw2 has weapon swap and runes.
No paladins but spirit person... It would've been more creative to make a "dark paladin" that uses demon/satanic power against the hordes of evil.
you just described a necromancer?
Yeah fallen knight, death knight, death guardian, dark guardian, shadow guardian. Any of those names would save the game as a new class.
@@draftingish4833 not the same idea but I get your point. It just seems like they rehashed "insert generic indigenous tribal person/native"
Dark paladin sounds dumb. Never even try design games ty.
@@hulsecharlie Generic? and a paladin isn't generic? plus it suites the region better.
D4 community: Fuck they never listen man
Poe community: How do they keep adding so much every 3 months and listen to exactly what we like and don't like and change it accordingly.
EVERYONE: paladin is what we want!
Blizzard: lets ad a random class nobody asked for!
Blizzard: "we did a thing..."
GGG: "We did all the things!"
They say options tons of builds etc but how much yall wana bet there's like 2 builds that are viable tops
Spiritborn? Who come up with these names? Diablo needs a hard reset.
I think Spirit Warrior would have sounded better. They obviously aztec/maya and look like jaguar warriors.
A name isn't a reason to hate the game though come on lol
@ub3rfr3nzy94 The game being lame and refusing to give the community what it asked for is, though.
@@TheRetrostorian both are right.
@@TheRetrostorianHonestly at this point you should create your own game, seems like you have all the best idea and best game design in the world.
@@grayfoxart2268, quite obvious that listening to your community is a must do, and everyone wanted holy based class.
Looks like a Druid knocked up a Monk
true bro...
or a knock off avatar litteraly the same story...
Chatter: Shes too hot to be a DEI hire. 😭
She's 'friends' with someone
I’m torn because I used to play paladin & crusader. But as a Curandero (Quiché Maya Healer) who’s Guatemalan, I’m not only surprised, but extremely excited that they actually did a “Mayan” type character. I’m 34 and have played since Diablo 1. Never expected that.
Plot twist; D4 is a prequel to D2, and this is how Mephisto and his soul stone ended up Travincal. That's where she's headed.
Don't ask me to back this up.
Lorath is old in D4, but he was young in D3
Aztec Monk
Finally someone gets it lol
I made a mistake buying d4. I will not do it again. Spiritborn is just d3 monk with druid sprinkled here and there.
Diablo 4 has been out for over a year, no Paladin? are they dumb?
Paladin? such a unique and original class, how did you think of it?
The glazing is crazy
@@roostre5254 it doesn't have to be original, everybody wants it
They dont need to have the same abilties and mechanics.
i was really dead sure, that a shield class melee would be set for the expansion. I mean... you got shields already in game, only for necros as stat-token. But not one Melee class with shield bash or anything... that seemed so so obvious for a first expansion.... i don't know what they're thinking
*I AM 110% on BOARD FOR A PALADIN CLASS!!*
Its a Shaman.
Did they finally add the Refund Class?
if only the game was as good as that intro cutscene
I would recommend actually trying the game again. The latest season fixed a lot of the issues we saw initially, so the end game loop and itemization is actually enjoyable. I didn't play since launch but I was pleasantly surprised.
@@stqui who the heck wants infinitely repeatable season resets? It's a gimmick for bad game design. If your game is good it's repeatable on its own merit
@@paintingsbypanco Then simply don't play seasons? The changes should be ported to non-seasonal ladder as well. I don't really see your issue here.
@@stqui the game isn't good enough on its own to do that. Hence the constant seasons
@@paintingsbypanco You sound like a guy who have never played an ARPG before. Seasons have been a stable of ARPGs forever. People are praising PoE left, right and center and they also have seasons? What are you even on about??
The thing about the GRAPHICS/ART: pros: more color (while still being diablo game), new dungeons looks very good, overworld in the new are not so much. The comparison to POE 2 is interesting because I think in term of graphics D4 have better graphics in general but POE 2 maybe lighting and details are better, so in the end looks better. But the biggest thing is VFX effects, D4 have improved over launch for sure, but still long way to look as good as POE 2, I would say it needs to be more grounded (skills effects should blend better with the environment), D4 is not cartoonish, but this lack of congruence VFZenvironment makes it look like it, makes it looks less real, more cheap. That's my constructive feedback, I think they have a good game and a franchise we all care. They have improved, so lets hope they can continue to do so (can't comment on gameplay as I haven't purchase the game, yet)
You made a great point. We needed an element to be replaced with Bleed. Barb is the only bleeder. Especially in a blood driven themed game. It would be a hard choice unless you gave it to the gorilla. So it’d still be physical
Fuck this game until paladin
Wish the gameplay team was as good as art- and cinematic team.
I hate that this expansion happened because an idiot took the worldstone thinking that she would protect it better knowing that eben an entire order of elite soldiers and the most powerful magi failed because of the corrupting power the stone has.
All I know is that I heard Jagwire and my brain said "WTF"
The whole spirit guardian shit is stupid it's basically another take on a Druid that don't use shape shift instead just summons them.
No paladin is fucking ridiculous man.
Spiritborn? FFS give me Diablo back. Fucking Airbender up in my evil game.
😂
😄😄 the more we ask the more we don't get
Yeah, it's not like we saw Monks introduced over 10 years ago right? lul
@@stqui diablo 3 was a joke game tho, monk had absolutely no place in a diablo game.
Nah no need for diablo.
They made a good choice focusing on memphisto now. They already did Diablo and Baal before and now it's the time for memphisto to shine.
this game should just be 80% cutscenes. that intro was badass. its also been confirmed that this character’s mana potions are ayahuasca potions
00:37 thanks for explaining asmong
i literally forgot that bij lilith
Diablo 4 : GREEN
Lol right?? From hell to South America. Devs do not know Diablo...
WHERE THE FUCK IS MY PALADIN CLASS REEEEEEEEE
In Diablo 5
Lol literally every comment on this video.
It's "The Avatar" class in Diablo! 😂
I don't lose sleep over not playing this anymore. I keep up with it in hopes they might pique my interest. They still have not. I usually play holy classes too. We get a jungle paladin instead.
So… instead of paladins we get…Aztecs?
Yes!… well kinda they didn’t even get the weapon right…..
How can they not add Paladin-Class with Kurast??????
I had rock-bottom expectations for this new D4 expansion, and yet somehow, they still managed to limbo right under them and disappoint me once more.
The visual affects look really cool
technically speaking, they could've theoretically added spiritborn and paladin given the location kind of speaks to both of them. D2's expansion was 2 classes. LoD was one of the best expansions they've made. Compared to that this doesn't look as substantial. which is a little crazy given how much larger a company they are
WHERE IS MY PALADIN?!
New class should just be a treasure goblin. They can re-do the model based on the collective faces of Blizzard corporate.
Brilliant take.
Sounds like a sort of Aztec Mystic
Incan Warrior with jaguar helm looks new and unique, never been done a million times before. Oh you turn into an eagle? Well that's fresh.
Jungle warrior fighting hell makes a lot more sense than Paladin for sure. Can't wait to hear the eagle screech sound every 3 seconds. Let me guess, native drums play when you summon the ape.
I love how they just blended the characters together in one, like the eagle passive is literally the lightning mage…..
Aztec druid + monk for DEI points? meh
@@joejohnson2458 Is water wet?
@@Kross415 are you unable to answer a simple question?
Or did you just not play d2?
@37thgungrunts I'll answer for him. It's DEI because of the simple fact that this does not follow lore. No matter how you sell it or cut it. During the initial invasion of the prime evils, where were these guys? Are we to assume that all three of the prime evils existing at the same time is less of a threat than what is going on now because they didn't show during those events? Of course not. They were added for the convenience of introducing another perciveably underrepresented people. Just for the sake of adding it. They went entirely against what the fan base asked for just so an equally DEI artist can flex. And it's bad. It's a reskinned monk made by lazy game devs. And before you make the argument that Paladins are extinct in lore, Barbarians are too. Arreat got nuked when Tyrael cast Azurewrath into the Worldstone.
@@applejackruckus7500 the world is bigger than we know.
And by your logic we wouldn't have the druid or assassin in d2
Since they were there in the initial invasion
@@37thgungrunts Actually they were represented in the base game before their respective expansion was even released by certain NPC's. The druids formed around the time of Bul-Kathos' rule, and have direct ties to the barbarians, but have always inhabited Scosglen. I don't know what you're getting at with the Assassins, but they had proven to have survived D2 through the lore itself. If you know anything about the ending to the Sorceress character, you'd know that she was killed off by a member of the Viz-Jaq'taar.
Really, I don't know what point you're trying to make. The destruction of Arreat doesn't really affect either the Druids or the Assassins. Just the Barbarians. Just like the corruption and razing of Kurast destroyed the Paladins.
They have all the reason in the world, and not a single excuse not to bring Paladins back, if Barbarians survived.
hard pass not wasting time or money on anything d4. It's a dead game
it's actually better than it's ever been, cry more
