It’s 7 days until the reaper arrives and we head back into the land of demons and traders to slay everything that breathes, moves or looks breakable.
Yes the ultimate hack and slash is returning with new campaign quests, areas and even a brand new player type.
In true Blizzard style have an epic trailer that has just been released for the add-on that you can see right here.
If you haven’t pre-ordered yet then head on over to your favourite retailer, or use our affiliate links to buy either the normal or collector’s edition. All affiliate funding goes toward getting Darryn a special someone for his birthday so at least you know it’s for a good cause.
And once you have your copy don’t forget that Megarom is hosting a Diablo 3 LAN for Joburg gamers, all the details here.
Diablo 3 is one of those games that I just wish I had more time to get into. I loved it on the console and apparently the new PC patches have made the game just as good on the PC. But that would require starting a new character again and I don’t think I’ll have the time to do that until maybe January 2015.

Ya same, we started inferno last night, with 3 of us its really a blast.

Got up to like Paragon 18 last night after you left. Did a bit of tweaking on DH and it even better now with front arrow.

do you still die in 1 hit?
Scruff304

Not in the slightest. I actually hard get hit, but when I do, it not as bad as before.
Tarisma

All I saw in that trailer was Online DRM and lagging single player. After Diablo 3 I can not support this shit.

I actually downloaded D3 over the weekend. Joined a server. 1200ms to EU(granted my connection is congested at local exchange). The first pack of zombies killed me. Great fun! 😛

I get 100ms to EU and I slaughter everything that stands in my path. I am the NEPHALEM!

Yeah, I want to try it again with the AH closed and loot system finally fixed. But then Telkom! grrr
Gareth L (That Guy)
March 19, 2014 at 19:05
Weird latency, dude. I’m on Telkom too, and I’m getting 200-700. Usually around 250 though.
Johan du Preez
March 24, 2014 at 15:29
100ms to EU sorry buddy no line going out of this country can achieve that latency.
Its impossible and thats a fact.
SargonTheGreatPandaOfAkkad
March 24, 2014 at 17:17
Well I do.. so.. uh.. I guess the pretty little ping bar is lying to me or (rather more likely) you’re wrong?
*edit: And to be fair it’s not 100ms exactly. It’s like 150ms give or take. But under 200 usually. So while it may remain theoretically impossible, these are the speeds I find myself with.
Johan du Preez
March 24, 2014 at 18:23
There is a big difference between 150ms and 100ms you can get 150ms on a really good connection but your latency is closer to 170ms most probably.

People complain too much about Diablo 3. At the end of the day it was fun, yes it was lacking but the point is it was fun. I’m really excited about this expansion and all them additions have me quivering in my boots and ready to take leave.
VampyreSquirrel
March 19, 2014 at 08:26
The latest patch fixes a lot of what people were complaining about
Johan du Preez
March 24, 2014 at 15:28
Including offline play ? Cause that and the AH is the two big issues the game possesses.
The AH is fixed now but nothing in sight for offline play … still a broken mess. When I dont rubberband when playing single player I will maybe consider playing it again.
VampyreSquirrel
March 24, 2014 at 15:37
Lol not offline play… there is no offline play. The only time I lag is when my wife’s hitting youtube hard or downloading stuff.
Rags
March 19, 2014 at 09:02
No it wasn’t fun. And it was not lacking, it was completely broken,
Gareth L (That Guy)
March 19, 2014 at 19:03
Exactly. If it was *fun* people would’ve played it for at least six months before giving up on its broken, tedious, empty, unfocused, emotionless and uninteresting mess. I played it for about three months only because I forked out R800 on it.
The state that the game is in now *is* fun and focused at least, and there’s still no way that I’m paying a further R400 for what is essentially a content update.
Rags
March 19, 2014 at 19:30
Yes, I only kept going because I paid R500 for my copy! I would’ve given up after the first act if I pirated it. Now 30 hours in total. Good to hear that you consider it to be at least fun now. I am still struggling getting over the fact of all the hand holding and simplification of the game.
And the emotionless experience! That sums its up perfectly.
Oh well. I’ll try once more after telkom restore my line.

I started a new char on the weekend, and I’m already lvl 30 and have had about 4 legendary drops. Waaaaaay better than before. Still not sure if I can justify paying this ludicrous amount for an expansion though…

Waited until now to get the base version – worth the reduced price 🙂
Galbedir
March 19, 2014 at 10:22
BT games, its like R390 for PC version, considering you’ll be getting no less then 25 – 1000 hours out of it, well worth the price.
SargonTheGreatPandaOfAkkad
March 19, 2014 at 11:18
25 – 1000 hours seems about right to me. Since patch I’ve already dropped another 50 or so hours into the game again and still loving it.
Norm
March 19, 2014 at 08:33
Will this be coming to console at some point?
Tarisma
March 19, 2014 at 09:15
the original is on PS3 and xbox so I assume this must

Hoping so. The 360 version is outstanding.

Glad to hear that the PC version has improved.

A week ago I wasn’t even considering this… But the new patch for D3 has made it so much better… The game is actually fun now. Really considering this…

March 19, 2014 at 08:51
Is this a PATCH, an add on, DLC, a new game, a remastered version, console version, non real money auction house, ERROR 38 or milk?
Who cares?
keep your 3 year old mess that required the PC master race to do the public BETA at full retail price.
Runs out of room to play DS2…

I have my Collectors Edition pre-ordered and I can’t WAIT for it to come out!
Love the new patch and the new looting system. The new class sounds awesome too!
It feels like good old D2 play days again! o/

Any idea when this is coming out on console? I know it was announced, but can’t seem to find any info as to when that may be… I thoroughly enjoyed D3 on console and would love to play as the new Crusader (and have some extra missions).

I have not played diablo 3 for basically a year and refused all tied with blizzard because the large list of faults they eventually fixed and the RMAH going away is one of the last ones, but DAMMIT… now I want this and i want it bad…
Hate blizzard………
Scruff304
March 19, 2014 at 11:54
Try out D3 again and decide from there. It really has gotten better since the latest update. I’m pretty confident that after playing it for a few hours you will put RoS on your pre order list..
Galbedir
March 19, 2014 at 10:53
Amped! It looks amazing! Still alittle bleak about only 1 new class, and 1 new ability for each class. Also they shouldn’t have shown the end boss in the video, abit of a spoiler. Still Amped though!
