  • Heroes of the Storm Getting Two Diablo Inspired Characters

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]3177[/ATTACH]
    Blizzard's Dustin Browder announced that [I]Heroes of the Storm[/indent]will soon receive two new characters that come from the world of Diablo. Though there was no release date revealed for the pair, Browder did reveal some information on just who these characters are.

    The first is named Xul. They are a necromancer from Diablo 2. Xul summons up to four skeletons from the corpses of minions, can reduce attack speed with curses, and can use an area of effect poison attack.

    The other character is Li Ming, a wizard character from Diablo 3. They naturally use magic missiles, the Arcane Orb, and a teleportation spell.

      I really don't like the art style Blizzard started using for everything after Diablo 2, everything looks like a cartoony Warcraft 3 character. Yes i'm one of those people who dislike Diablo 3 because it's so colourful and fancy looking but look at that Necromancer, if it's based off of the guy in D2 then he's decided to start wearing a very small leather jacket to expose his six pack, pecks and biceps, he now has an enourmous pointy belt buckle and huge pointy armour plates covering his small elbow and knees, and a huge ridiculous glass looking scythe which probably weighs a ton, also sweet goatie bro.
      Look at the original design,

      skinny creepy tall dude who fit the dark depressing areas in D2, obviously the new design fits better with the newer fanciful art direction which they also poured into Diablo 3, i just think it's a shame they can't help shoving that art style into everything, i was tired of it in Warcraft 3, 14 years later it just makes me mad.

    Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred is ready to release on April 28, 2026.

    Review: Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred is Diablo at its Best
    by Shawn Zipay
    Refined to hellish perfection.

    Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred feels like a fresh beginning for the action-RPG that released a little over a year ago. Despite receiving generally high praise from media outlets, including my own review, fans were quite vocal about the game needing some broad, sweeping changes to several core gameplay systems. Blizzard responded to these complaints by releasing a series of updates that drastically improved and reiterated on several core gameplay mechanics. ...
