Maybe I'm just out of the loop or something but I sense nowhere near the hype for Diablo IV compared to Diablo III. They've simply burned a lot of goodwill since then if you ask me.

D4 -- Always online, microtransactions (and a track record of making these Pay2Win).

Like what... why'd you be the least bit hyped for this?

Seems like the only "microtransactions" are cosmetic only which is 100% okay and don't effect anyone negatively

Zelda ToTK and Elden Ring were more hyped than Diablo 4. Actually probably Dad of War Ragnarok too. I'm sure D4 will sell well enough, but the hype doesn't feel like it's on the level of Cyberpunk and GTAV.

Blizzard have a track record of making these pay2win:

"The Character Boost (or simply boost) is a paid service that allows any character to be upgraded to a higher level that isn't already on the specified level."
"The Character Boost can be purchased through the in-game shop, currently priced at $60/40."

If I pay money to skip leveling I'm now getting better gear than you. In the context of pretty much any game, but especially Diablo, I'm winning. Furthermore not only am I further along in content than you, it also means you'll be buying gear from me.

If that did exist in the context of a Diabloesque game it would absolutely be pay to win.

Because it's just literally leveling faster. That's not giving you anything exclusive to people who don't pay for it and it doesn't give you a significant advantage over the same people around your dedication.

Leveling faster in a Diabloesque game absolutely equates to profit and power. That's the whole point of these games.

I think they meant more pay to win as in , you have to pay to get the beast gear that cant be farmed otherwise or can be farmed but at an abysmal rate in order to force people to feel the need to buy it instead of farm it.

While I do agree that even being able to buy a level boost is a bit cheaty, stilI would much prefer that then true pay to win where they lock gated content (primals only drop if you pay for a 3$ unlock which only lasts for 60 minutes (the time limit is just extra pay to win<--- just using primals as an example)

Yes and you're still gonna have to grind out the gear. Leveling isn't hard and doesn't take a long time. A day isn't going to make a significant difference and it won't matter to casuals because they won't grind as much to get said gear.

I don't think they should have boosts on release for a game like D4. no early access either unless it's not seasonal/ladder.

I'm not sure how you could disagree that buying levels is not pay2win -- but it's a moot point anyway, since the "real-world money shop" also sells in-game currency:

Perhaps I'm too deep into the racing of leaguestart PoE, but absolutely it makes a difference. The first people to endgame control the economy of a league. If I could pay whatever to be 6 hours in front of the pack, I'd have a cornered market. If everyone else could pay money to skip too you'd get a hellscape of sweaty tryhards paying money to control the economy and then try to recoup the costs via RMT.

But anyway hypothetically if such a thing existed it would be hella bad for the game.

Im pretty excited for it.

Its definitely a different kind of feel because of how bad the D3 release was and how much I disliked the direction they ended up taking that game. But I am pretty happy to get to try it.

It was actually very fun and had a good story. The voice acting is S tier. The build crafting and skills are a bit underwhelming. You just pick like 4 skills and you focus on those the entire game... Your play style at 20 will be almost identical at lvl 50. The world and little stories are cool enough to warrant a buy imo.

is it confirmed or are you just assuming based on previous games?
Just because Diablo 3 had an RMT Shop, and World of Warcraft, it doesn't mean they are going to allow you to buy items for RMT in Diablo 4.
From what I gathered, the cosmetic shop is just that, cosmetics only. Aside for the level boost ( which probably wont be purchaseable at the beginning of a new league, and I still dont care about level boosts that much, people acting like leveling from 1-xyz is part of the journey... For the first 2-5 times maybe... After that 99% of you that played diablo 3 just tried to get to max level asap every time league started. and the real adventure didnt start until max level.
