Poe has a shit ton of micro transactions way more than d4 lol so kinda funny you said that mate


Did i talked about microtransactions ? Does GGG charges you 70€ to download and play the game ?
I'm just saying that an international trillionair company has to copy/paste the local small business for the 1st season, deal with it shill.

This is just the beginning, in 10 years the game will have much more content.


It will never in my opinion. The structure of the game itself and the mechanics are structured to be played and understood by an 8 yo boy. There's no block mechanics for shield do you really think this game is going to take the direction of poe ?

No, it was just to accentuate the fact that we are talking about a multinational with colossal means.

Thread Update

Malignant Monsters
As players progress through Sanctuary’s Seasonal Realm, they will encounter Malignant Monsters. Elite Monsters have a chance to spawn corrupted with Malignance. These enemies will be covered with growths and have additional powers.
Malignant Monsters are a multi-stage encounter and are only Partially Corrupted when they initially spawn. Upon defeat, a Partially Corrupted Malignant Monster will drop an item called a Malignant Heart.
Players can use a new item called a Cage of Unbinding on a Malignant Heart to summon a more powerful Fully Corrupted version of the same Malignant Monster. When bested they will drop the true prize, a Caged Heart.

Caged Hearts & Malignant Powers
Caged Hearts are items that can be socketed into gear like Gems. Unlike Gems, however, Caged Hearts offer Malignant Powers akin to the Legendary Affixes of the base game. Devs have said in the stream that in some cases, these Malignant Powers are “more powerful than Legendary Powers.”
There are 32 different types of Malignant Hearts, each with a different Malignant Power. At the time of writing only one Malignant Power has been revealed: “Critical strikes electrically charge the enemy for 2.89 seconds, causing lightning to arc between them and other charged enemies dealing 64 Lightning damage.”
Malignant Hearts will become more powerful as you collect them from higher-level enemies and in higher World-Tiers. They have four color-coded categories that correspond with similarly coded Infested Sockets.

Infested Sockets & Categories
Infested Sockets on gear come in three color-coded categories corresponding to the three color-coded tiers of Caged Hearts. A fourth “very, very rare and powerful” category of Caged Heart called a Wrathful Caged Heart will slot into any Infested Socket regardless of its color.
Developers have confirmed that any socket applied to gear in the seasonal realm via vendors will be randomly assigned a colored socket. The currently revealed categories and their corresponding colors are:
- White – Viscious
- Blue – Brutal
- Any – Wrathful

Developers very specifically mentioned only Jewelry when discussing Infested Sockets. It has been confirmed that they are found on and can be applied to Rings and Amulets. We will update this section if it is revealed that other items can be socketed in this way.

Caged Hearts & Crafting
As you progress your character and they grow in power, older Caged Hearts will be outstripped by new ones you collect. You can sacrifice old or incompatible ones for a crafting resource that will allow you to create Invokers.
Invokers are special items that will allow you to farm specific categories of Caged hearts in a more targeted way. This is done in special locations called Malignant Tunnels.

Invokers & Malignant Tunnels
Dungeons around Sanctuary will randomly be assigned the status of Malignant Tunnel. Developers have likened this mechanic to Trre of Whispers bounties.
These dungeons will spawn Malignant Monsters at a higher rate but more importantly, they house something called Malignant Outgrowths. These will appear at the end of Malignant Tunnels and are colored to match the categories of Caged Hearts and Infested Sockets.
In current clips from the developer stream, it appears there will be more than one color of Malignant Outgrowth per dungeon. Players can select one based on their needs and use an Invoker to summon an enemy that guarantees a Caged Heart of the Outgrowth’s color.

I'll keep updating this thread as more information becomes available in the lead-up to D4’s Season of the Malignant and beyond.

the reset will not include stat points from the Altar of Lilith. Potion and skill point will be reset, the bonus from the altar will be permanently binded to all characters in the season. There will be various tools in place to make the renown system feel as non-repeated as possible.

They're going to reset every season but it doesn't seem like reset everything.
