Duriel, Scariest of the Lesser Evils

Duriel, with his tiny-ass lair, slow-down aura and incredibly dangerous attacks, is an annoying Diablo II boss to fight. Now, thanks to this piece of fanart, he’s also terrifying to look at. Yay! The one responsible for Duriel’s HD-ification is one Svein Yngve Sandvik Antonsen, who works as a character artist at Interceptor Entertainment (the…

Tips For Creating The Most Powerful Diablo III Characters

The real endgame of Diablo III starts in Adventure Mode, when our character finally finds one or two powerful items, and begins its journey to collect all the pieces required to clear everything on the highest difficulty levels in no time. The road to get there is bumpy, but our small guide might help a…

How Not To Play Diablo III

You might think that there’s no “wrong” way to play a game like Diablo III. This is incorrect. Somehow, I figured out how to pull it off. Last weekend, while trapped in my apartment during Snowpocalypse 2016, Kirk and I marathoned the PS4 version of Blizzard’s latest hack-n-slash adventure game, which I had been meaning…

Diablo III‘s Wizard Joins Heroes of the Storm

All the playable classes of Diablo III have already got a Heroes of the Storm version, except the Wizard. But those days are over. The Wizard, called Li-Ming, is the next hero joining the ever-growing roster of Heroes of the Storm. It’s not just her appearance that remained somewhat similar to Diablo III. Some fan…

Players Are Already Doing Crazy Things In Diablo III‘s Season 5

Only a few days have passed since Season 5 started (as part of patch 2.4) in Diablo III’s PC version, and some players are already grinding on difficulty levels that most of us will never reach. Season 5 will last three months and it’s enough time for an average player to level up a character…

Diablo III Has Hooked Me Again

I thought I was done playing Diablo III, a game I happily zipped through as a demon hunter when it came out on PS4. I played with friends, cleared the story, hit level 70, barely understood what Adventure Mode and Paragon Points were and put it down. That was more than a year ago. Here…

Tips For Getting Back Into Diablo III

Diablo III changed a lot over the years. The expansion and the later patches added a lot more content to the game, and these changes might confuse players who stopped playing around Reaper of Souls or before, but want to come back to see what’s new. People running around in crazy gear, gaining hundreds of…

Diablo‘s Treasure Goblins Are Coming To World of Warcraft: Legion

Legion will introduce a new type of creature to World of Warcraft that might be familiar from Diablo III. It’s the Treasure Goblin, or as he’s known here, Treasure Demon. People playing the alpha build of the expansion bumped into the rare fella, who looks like a little annoying demon with a huge backpack. And…

Getting Started With Devilian, The Mildly Awkward Diablo-Style MMO

There are four character classes in Trion Worlds’ Diablo-style MMO Devilian, launching next week in North America—busty woman, stout man, Dante from Devil May Cry and uncomfortably young-looking girl with a gun. Their official names are Evoker… Berserker… Shadowhunter but secretly Dante… and uncomfortably young-looking Cannoneer. Having dabbled with all four classes now, I regret…

There’s A Cool Fallout Easter Egg In Diablo III‘s New Patch

With Fallout 4’s release the folks at Blizzard might have gotten a bit nostalgic, which could be the reason for this item in patch 2.4—a legendary gem to be exact—being full of Fallout puns. Here’s the item, called “Boyarsky’s Chip,” below. It has Leonard Boyarsky’s name, who worked on Diablo III, but was also the…

Diablo III On Consoles Has A Cheating Problem

A big part of Diablo III is playing with other people, whether it’s friends or strangers. Many consoles owners have given up on strangers, though, thanks to cheaters doing a fantastic job of making the game tough to enjoy. I became aware of the problems facing the console versions of Diablo III after a reader…

After Diablo III‘s Set Items, Get Ready For… Set Dungeons

Adventures in Diablo III didn’t end with patch 2.3. There’s a new, similarly large content patch coming soon with enough new things packed in to make it worth going back and gain a few more Paragon levels. One of the most exciting things will be a feature called set dungeons. Bright green set items are…

Deadmau5 Loses Top Hardcore Diablo III Character Due To Server Issues

Well this is how perma-death and Hardcore mode works in Diablo III. You’re not safe, even if you’re a famous electronic music producer with a very high ranked Demon Hunter. Whether it’s lag or bad luck, if your character dies, it’s gone forever. Deadmau5 is known for his addiction to Diablo III. In fact it…

One Of The Most Popular Builds Of Diablo III Is Back

With the new items and gameplay changes of Diablo III’s superb 2.3 patch, one of the coolest builds of old times, the Archon, is back and got stronger for Season 4. It’s a fun build totally worth trying out with the new patch, that focuses on the Wizards’s massive Archon ability, something that was neglected…

Diablo III’s New Hardest Difficulty Looks Brutal

Diablo III’s latest patch is now live, and among other things, it introduced four new difficulty levels to the game. While Torment VI wasn’t that tough, the new hardest setting, Torment X, when played properly, makes the game look like a bullet hell shmup instead of a hack and slash RPG. Here’s a two-minute example,…

Diablo‘s Tristram, Etched In Wood

Graphic designer Alex Griendling teamed up with Neutral Ground and created a unique, laser-etched, 18” wide and 14” tall wood map of Diablo’s most iconic town, Tristram. It looks fantastic and compared to the original, it’s a very accurate map. Everything, even the peg-legged smuggler Wirt is there. Tristram’s map is not only one they’ve…

Heads up to Heroes of the Storm players: in case you’re wondering where the Battlefield of Eternity map went, Blizzard took it out of rotation because of an issue that “can cause games to crash.” Also, a Blizzard rep told me that thenext Diablo map is coming out tomorrow. Fresh meat! UPDATE (3:26 pm): The…
