total new assets produced for blizzard in a $20 expansion:
>warlock model
>1/3 the animations for warlock that rest of classes have (no attack animations at all)
>a few particle effects / missiles (miasma, abyss, demon chain, cleave streak, apocalypse, sigils)
and uh that's it
recycled model summons
recycled content quests
recycled content mixed into warlock skills
You think they could make an entire new act? with 20 new monsters, 20 spells, new bosses, new music, tilesets, doodads, traps, etc? oh sure they'll put their 1 intern right on that
Don't be mean! I'm sure ActiVision Blizzard could definitely hire one Chinese intern to do all of that using DeepStink AI and it'll definitely be an amazing 2/10 quality that we've come to expect from this wonderfully small indie company known as ActiVision Blizzard Entertainment.
Oh sorry, did people forget that the ONLY reason d2r is decent is because ActiVision Blizzard Entertainment didn't develop it?
Blizzard hasn't made anything worthwhile since WoW: Legion, so almost a full decade now.
