the changes seem to be good thanks, devs! I wonder how does the Queen Bee look like…
New Boots " Ash Wake " RF inc. 
characters need model-visual overhaul. Primalist looks like skinny LA beggar and not a primal human… compare his body to d4 barb… no matter how animation look when model is so not appealing.
and uniques need 3d models… we aint in 2011… make quality game and invest in immersion. Character visuals of armours are more even important than skills… and you are redoing them over and over.

Avatar fans, are you here?
Loving all of these changes. I can’t wait to play S4!
Primalist is not a Barb though. You could be happy it’s not a D4 Druid model which is closer to the archetype.
Thank you, this is what I was looking for and asking for. Awesome!
Beautiful update, love it.

That sounds exciting – I’m in and ready to get stuck in!
Will this have any impact on existing characters? I assume that those who already have access to Empowered that it will not, but what about those who are currently in Normal (non-empowered)?
Okay now this is the first announcement with some hype in it. The Mono’s desperately needed some love and rework so hopefully this starts to engage players and their progression.
The new sets look well tuned for current content with some powerful affixes and of course finally maybe some actual Bee builds.
- In regards to Bees, I’ve seen teased a Sentinel corrupted idol with +3 Bees per 10 seconds. Is this exclusive to Sentinel or any class can corrupt idols and get + Bees?
Adding in a crafting tutorial for new players also a great idea and this is forward thinking in expanding the player base.
Hope the following Hype days look like this one.
I’m excited to get started, I took time off so I can enjoy the game without a break.
This PLS!!!

This only applies to Empowered Monoliths, right? Because I still see the three breakpoints in the stability bar in the screenshot.
- The Russian translation doesn’t specify the cause of death.
- You can simply die in a lich, even though there was no one around. Somewhere out there, beyond the screen, someone spat into a glass cannon…
- Sometimes, upon death, you respawn in the same place, but in an empty location.
- Many translations are poor quality. For example, item stats and inventory data for crafting may have different names. Similar to what I’m writing about using Google Translate.
- Why don’t you reset your ability cooldowns when you enter a new zone? As a lich, you have to wait for a cooldown to get back into shape.
- Sorting things, I think, means that similar things will be placed one after another. But in most cases, this hasn’t worked since the beta.

You will still have it now regardless, the patch won’t hit us until the 26th.
Will non seasonal character still have access to all the new seasonal items and activities?
Fingers crossed when worn the gear looks as great visually on the character as it does for the UI item photo

You guys have been BZZZZZZY. Nice.
I’m especially looking forward to the new combat animations but there’s seriously a ton of cool new stuff that looks great. The Rahyeh/Heorot battle (THANK YOU!) down to all the interface cleanup and extended functionality.
Well done!
“The team paused creating these in the past, as we felt they were less exciting gear options compared to Uniques and their possibility to have Legendary Potential. However, we now feel that there’s more space for Set Items after the update to allow Reforging Sets into Affix Shards.”
Are you stating that the team’s current intentions for set item viability is that they should only be used for Affix Shards?
I hope not, but I believe that’s what this statement implies.

The 3 piece effect should either be “Traversal skills create 2 shadows …”, or “Traversal skill creates 2 shadows …”, the former would be better, you could work with the latter but it’d be unwieldy.
Presumably the shadow of the unequipped weapon type gains 100% of your XXX damage as the relevant damage type. A melee shadow gaining flat bow damage would be pointless surely?
Is it skippable or should I go & make some tea on the second time of watching it?
If that affix is inherited, yes, but not all unique affixes get inherited.
