Potential Diablo IV Leak Ahead of BlizzCon

Recommended Posts

IC1QRHT7669O1565398166483.jpg

Redditor PracticalBrush12, a reliable source of leaks with game releases like Persona 5, Ghost Reckon: Breakpoint, and Pokémon, has shared more information about Diablo IV.

BlizzCon is almost here and the upcoming Diablo title is supposed to be revealed at the event tomorrow, based on recent leaks.

First, we've had an ad leaked from the German GameStar magazine, which mentions Diablo IV. Next, we looked at a page with Lilith from The Art of Diablo book which will be out just after BlizzCon. We've even had an ex-Blizzard employee confirm it was his unreleased concept art of Lilith which received a paintover by someone else at the company. Today, we've talked about what to expect from the Diablo announcement at BlizzCon and round up, here are some juicy details on Diablo IV by PracticalBrush12, originally posted here.

Note that anything posted here hasn't been confirmed by Blizzard and we need to wait for tomorrow's opening ceremony to learn more about Diablo IV.

  • Diablo IV will look dark, gritty, and gross with toned down locations infrequently laid with corpses, wastelands, greyish deserts, cult caves surrounded by flesh, rotten crypts, plagued cities, and more. Blood actually looks like blood and not splashed jam.
  • Zones seem to be "more open". 
  • Characters will be able to use mounts.
  • There will be contextual interaction with environment, such as climbing a wall Lost Ark style.
  • Three classes are planned at launch:
    • Mages: Use fire, ice, and lightning.
    • Barbarians: Use swords, clubs, axes, kicks.
    • Druids: Use lightning, and transforming into beasts (bear, werewolf).
  • PvP is possible at launch.
  • We'll see a 4-player coop mode.
  • Characters are sitting at a campfire on the character selection screen.
  • Some skills seem to be taken straight out of Diablo 2, like Sorceress' Charged Bolt.
  • Click here to learn more about who the new "Diablo" is (Spoilers).

Ergh, I'm doubting this, since it mentions only 3 classes at release. Seems like an unusually low number for a Diablo game. Unless they're gonna push to have it out earlier by doing this, then releases more classes down the line? I dunno, still seems a little wrong.

This is very generic, I mean everyone could even made up those classes, there is always going to be some mage/sorcerer/wizard, barbarian and some shapeshifter and/or summoner. Perhaps these are the only ones they are able to show, unless this info is incomplete or wrong. D3 first reveal showed only Witch Doctor and Barbarian.

he literally took all stories/leaks from last few years and made it up like some sort of "the major leak" story. i highly doubt this as a reliable leak source or whatever this was meant to be.

The "only ones they can show" is pretty much the only way I saw this as possible too. Even then, I really have no expectations of them showing much of anything even if they DO announce D4.

Diablo 1 had 3 classes at release that is 1/3 of all Diablos!

Not to mention... them releasing only 3 at launch will allow them to monetize more classes later... can totally see this happening (//.-)

      Here's another quick loot luck post, as some players just have it and then some. We've seen double Uniques from a single Treasure Goblin already, but this is even more extreme. Millertiimme took down Ashava and managed to get a triple Ancestral Unique drop! While we don't know exactly what the boots, ring and gloves were, they were definitely welcome!
      What has been some of your best loot luck so far?

      There's persistence and then there's... persistence. MrFrodoBeggins certainly shows the latter as he not only completed 1270 cellars in 3 days, but also documented his loot, locations, experience gained, Treasure Goblins found, Obols acquired, Butchers encountered and more!

      So let's take a look at this huge breakdown of a very large mount of cellar clears, separated into the game's zones. You should definitely read the whole thing below, but here are some highlights:

      3 Butcher run-ins 21 Treasure Goblins (7 packs of 3, as that's how they spawn in Cellars) 6352 Obols 13 Uniques 200 Legendaries 82,693,064 XP (taking them from level 84 to 89) Around 80,000,000 gold
      MrFrodoBeggins' conclusion is that Cellars are very much not worth it and actively slow you down. The main takeaway from this experience has been... that there isn't enough variety in loading screens. Which makes a lot of sense if you look through 2540+ of them in 3 days. Here are his (not too serious) suggestions:

      The character has a terribly small collection radius, you need to walk the character directly on grass, ore, gold ....... to collect! Dropping some currency and things from mobs is terribly long, maybe if it's 1-2 things you can put up with, but when hundreds and thousands of times it's very annoying... I have seen sooo many loading screens, the drawings are very beautiful and interesting, maybe you will organize a competition among artists and make hundreds of different drawings on the theme of Diablo 4, and give them your 1.5 seconds of fame. I think that over time, all people will get tired of the same thing, even beautiful.
      Obviously we can't confirm these number as it's an individual player's findings, but we see no reason they'd be fabricated.

      And there we have it! All of the ultra-rare/chase items have been found and confirmed with images or video! The final piece was the Melted Heart of Selig necklace and it dropped earlier today.

      Spotted by AnyComputer, a Necromancer player had the item drop in Blind Burrows, and AnyComputer even translated it for us!

      Source: Melted Heart of Selig dropped today.

      This one isn't one of the more wanted ultra-rares, which may also be the reason why we've seen it last. Many players may have just salvaged it without even knowing it was something special, as it's effect isn't that impressive.

      As we already mentioned in previous posts, these almost certainly aren't the first ones dropped and there are many more than have been reported out there (just without image or video proof) so their rarity is a little over-represented. They are still very rare, however, and most of us probably won't be seeing them any time soon.

      The final 5 arrived in the past week after Harlequin's Crest was found relatively soon after launch. You can find them here: Andariel's Visage; The Grandfather; Doombringer; Ring of Starless Skies. If you really really want to throw a lot of time into maybe, possibly, probably not getting these, here are the spots for "farm" them in.

      Here they all are in all their glory:

      We've seen them run as soon as you engage them, we've seen them drop two Uniques at the same time, but this, this is something new. I suppose it was only a matter of time before the treasure carrying ones took their sweet sweet revenge. A high level Hardcore player had a very rude awakening recently after dropping their guard around the little ones. The goblin didn't have any assistance, was the only thing in the room, and yet it still got the kill.
      Killthuzad was running a tier 37 Nightmare Dungeon and really showcases just how easy it is to lose a character on Hardcore.


      Death Pulse does say that the pulse a monster leaves after death is "deadly", but this is on a whole new level! The goblin was level 91, however, so perhaps this isn't that surprising, but it sure was unexpected. Killthuzad's reaction is very much on point as that is definitely the weirdest way I've seen of someone losing their character.
      If you want to see the rest of the death reaction you can head over here.

      Here's another report on one of the rarest Unique drops in the game! A player has received The Grandfather, the crit damage heaven two handed sword. Dropped from an event chest during a Helltide, it's sporting solid rolls, multiplying all the player's crit damage by 84%!
      The player sharing the image is level 76, but the player being inspected is level 100, so they may have had it for quite a while already.
      This isn't necessarily (or even likely) the first of these that has dropped, but we haven't spotted anyone posting about it before. Now all that's left for that player is to get ANOTHER one with a better roll! Here's the weapon's non-Chinese stats:




      Blizzard recently shared some information on the 6 ultra-rare Uniques and how they can drop. We also saw a handy infographic going over where the best place is to farm for them over here.
