Originally from the lands of the west, the Knights of the Faith, also known as Paladins, are holy warriors spread across the realms of Sanctuary. To survive and rule over these wilds, the Druids must forfeit their humanity to awaken the beast within. Rugged and beautiful, the home of the Druids is teeming with Werewolves and other abominations lurking within the encroaching wilderness. The Druids are a nomadic race who hail from the untamed lands of Scosglen. We’ll touch on that in more detail below, but for now, let’s dive into the details. They join the three iconic characters who were part of our previous alpha test-the Sorceress, the Barbarian, and the Amazon.įurthermore, we’ll have exclusive Twitch Drops enabled on Friday, August 13 that will enable access to the test through your linked account. I wouldn't fault anyone for not wanting to jump in.The upcoming test weekends will feature two additional classes for players to experience-the ferocious, shapeshifting Druid and the righteous, hammer-slinging Paladin. Though Resurrected wasn't handled by Blizzard, but instead by developer Vicarious Visions, this is still an important property for Blizzard. Then, this summer, Blizzard was hit with a lawsuit by the state of California over allegedly creating a hostile environment for its female workers. In 2019, the company sided with China after a Hearthstone player defiantly proclaimed his support for an independent Hong Kong. Today's Blizzard, however, is rife with controversy instead of excellence. Then, with World of Warcraft, Blizzard would go on to reinvent the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (aka the MMORPG genre). It created a sequel that blew away the original Diablo, while also creating incredible strategy games like Warcraft and Starcraft. When Diablo was released in 2000, Blizzard was at its apex.

That's not the only thing that's lost its charm. That need to hunt down better gear has become such a staple in subsequent games that it's worn out its charm for me. The point of the game went from trying to stop Diablo to getting the most epic loot possible. It was amazing to play through the game and discover that when you started on a higher difficulty level you got a whole mess of new equipment, making everything you'd previously had look like utter crap.

On its initial release, the original Diablo 2 had a unique charm.

How great does this look? Activision Blizzard
