Diablo 3
What are the worst missed opportunities you can think of in gaming?
I think a lot about games and gaming moments.
Diablo 3’s complicated Altar of Rites system will remain in the game starting in Season 30
In a brief statement that proves brevity is the soul of wit, Diablo 3 Senior Game Producer Matthew Cederquist popped onto the D3 forums to tell us that the Altar of Rites system from Season 28 will become a permanent fixture of the game starting in Season 30.
Diablo 3 Season 29: Visions of Enmity shakes up Paragon, introduces a solo play mode, and spawns Diabolical Fissures all over Sanctuary
From August 15 to August 29, you'll be able to help playtest Diablo 3 Season 29, the Visions of Enmity, and it has quite a few surprises in store for us, including a completely solo play mode called Solo Self Found, and the collapsing fissures of reality that make up the Season Theme.
When does Diablo 3 Season 28 end? September 10!
Diablo 3 Season 28: Rites of Sanctuary is live, and after almost six months, we're wondering about the end.
What makes you decide you’re done with a game?
I stop playing games for a variety of reasons.
Will Diablo 3 have a Season 29?
Up until April, we had yet to hear if Seasons in Diablo 3 would continue following the launch of Diablo 4.
How much work do you think it should be to reach max level in a game?
Honestly, my upward progress in Diablo 4 has hit a stretch I'd describe as “excruciating,” except that I feel that's not really strong enough.
When does your gaming muscle memory trip you up?
One of the things that happens as you progress in playing a new game is that you grow accustomed to the control scheme and no longer have to think very hard about it.
When do you prefer to have story over efficiency in your games?
I realize I may be in the minority here, but sometimes I would rather spend several hours on stuff that has a story -- like, a branching, unfolding series of quests that at the end have revealed something about the world or given you an insight into a character -- than play content designed to reward me with specific items on a schedule.
Why (and how much) does character customization in video games matter to you?
In the original Diablo, you could just barely make out your character.
