[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9376253, member: 18"] Makes sense to me. I briefly played and then quit D3 a couple of times and didn't really "come back" until the Necromancer got added. I still like Path of Exile, style and concept-wise, but my heart isn't in actually playing it, because it's become such a speedy screen-clear kind of game, so I haven't really played the last few seasons (but am excited for PoE2). I imagine D4 will be around for quite a few more years unless it suddenly stops making money. That seems very unlikely given they are now progressing in a much more positive direction and given the sheer number of people I see around who are physically showing that they bought the $90 version of the expansion (which is normally $40), or wearing cosmetic armour that costs $25+. And because it'll be around, and isn't subscription or whatever, you can always dip back in. Given that the base game + expansion pack is $70 just like the base game was, I imagine future expansions will package all previous expansions with them too (for $40). Re: Leah 2.0, I doubt it, I think they probably learned from the the pushback on that (D4's story largely avoids the pitfalls D3 had, albeit it's still a Diablo story). More likely we catch up with her in either this expansion or the next before she becomes a demon, but the stone will end up getting taken from her or handed off or something. (The only way I see D4 getting "taken out" is if PoE2 is drastically better - and whilst it definitely has better art design, and will undoubtedly have a smarter story, I am skeptical that the gameplay and performance will be better enough to convince people to change over to it. Not impossible though.) [/QUOTE]
