I'd be interested in a new Diablo game but I will absolutely NOT play a games as a service game that expects me to play the game on its schedule rather than my own.

This is why I am waiting for it to drop to 10 bux before I buy it. It is one thing for a game to be a micro-transaction fueled live service game. It is another thing to charge 70 dollars for the game itself on top of that.

ill bite.
huh? just dont do the world boss?

Even outside of this event the game will have time limited content like battle passes, buy stuff type events, etc. Activision marketing leans very heavy on the FOMO method of getting people to buy stuff.

I would assume the actual release has this mechanic too, right?

Stuff like this is what killed the Forza Horizon series for me. I would literally 100% the games but now that it's a game as a service, you miss out on cars or events if you don't play EVERY WEEK and play the SPECIFIC RACES for that week. Shit like that just ruins the game for me.

World bosses can be killed once per week for legendary drops. How exactly they determine which will spawn and when is unknown to me. But if it is like WoW when it is only a certain one each week, if you need a specific drop from one of them then you could miss out on it for awhile if you miss that week.
