Blizzcon 2016 has been a feature packed event so far - we've received details about World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm and now Diablo 3.
Blizzard has confirmed that a brand new class will be coming to Diablo 3. Whilst the class will be new the third game, it's not completely new to the series. The class is called the necromancer and it will be able to summon a large number of creatures to use as a means of defense and attack.
The Necromancer class is something that fans have been asking for since the release of the game in 2012 so it's great to see the class finally make it's way into Diablo 3 in 2016.
The new Diablo 3 Necromancer class will come to all players that own the Reaper of Souls expansion in 2017. If players do not own the expansion they'll be able to purchase it to unlock the class. This is something similar to what Blizzard have done in the past with new classes, so essentially the Necromancer class is coming as a free content update.

A brand new patch has been applied to all versions of Diablo 3 across all platforms. Patch 2.2.0 adds a range of different changes to the game, including tweaks to the Quality of Life, new item additions and general updates.
The most noticeable update will be the three new sets which have been added to the game. These three sets include Wrath of the Wastes for Barbarian, Unhallowed Essence for Demon Hunter, and Delsere's Magnum Opus for Wizard.
On top of the new sets over 10 of the pre-existing sets have been tweaked, and one class specific set from each class has also been worked on. Blizzard did not go into too much detail about which sets have been changed but they did mention that over 20 new legendary items were added on top of the set changes.
30 more legendary items previously found in the game have also been adjusted. Looting crafting materials and gems is now easier, regular potions now do not run out and cannot be dropped from monsters.
Finally, three

Diablo 3 took off to a rocky start, but since it's console adaptation, and the changes that went into the game since the 2.0 patch, the game is now enjoyed by a large audience worldwide. The first expansion pack, Reaper of Souls, was quite a success, and it has helped it to propel the game forwards in terms of gameplay and content quality.
However, many Diablo 3 players have now made their way through the content available in the Reaper of Souls expansion, and that has left a lot of players without much left to do in the game.
Good news if you happen to fall into that crowd, because Blizzard have been looking into the possibilities of releasing another expansion pack for Diablo 3 in the near future. Whilst it hasn't been confirmed yet, Blizzard are taking player's opinions and using this to gauge whether a second expansion pack is needed for the latest Diablo game.
The development studio working on Diablo 3 have stated that they are "still evaluating" future possibilities

Blizzard has confirmed that Diablo 3 will be coming to the Xbox One, amidst concerns that the game has not given a proper introduction to players using Xbox consoles. Lead producer for Diablo 3, Alex Mayberry stated in an interview with VideoGamer that, "I don't know where we are with Microsoft right now so I can't really comment on what that contract looks like. The point is we are developing for Xbox One and PS4 simultaneously. We hit those major platforms and then our goal as a development team is to make them run."
"We have that pipeline worked out, and then Blizzard and Microsoft can work out whatever they work out."
Many fans have been interested in a Diablo 3 for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, especially seeing as the first expansion pack for the title, Reaper of Souls, was released earlier this week for PC and Mac.
Blizzard has also confirmed that there will be a bundle pack for the PlayStation 4 which will be named the Ultimate Evil Edition - this bundle

Error 37
For those of you who have waited a decade to play Diablo III, was it as good as you imagined? Well we all may have our own opinions on what we like/dislike about the PC game thus far, but I think we can all agree that connection errors were a problem we all hated.
When it came to launch time many of us had the game downloaded and installed; all we were waiting for was the servers to open up so we could set our eyes upon the Blizzard created madness known as Diablo III. However, once the hour came,

South Korea Has Some Issues with Diablo III's Auction Mechanics
In South Korea, Blizzard games are huge. And when I mean huge, I mean it's their national sport. In other countries, soccer or baseball is broadcast over the airwaves. In South Korea, it's Starcraft. While Starcraft has its following in the country, Diablo has its own in Korea and throughout the world.
However, the country's governmental Game Rating Board could delay Diablo III's launch. According to The Korea Times, the reason is because of Diablo III's in-game virtual auction and how sensitive the government

Its been a long time coming, and now there is light on the horizon for fans of the famed Diablo series. Blizzard has recently opened an online community for Diablo 3, featuring forums, videos, guides, and much more to satisfy the needs of Diablo gamers.
It gives Diablo fans the opportunity to get together before the release of the game, and plan out their battle strategies long before the fight begins. From the looks of it there is still no solid release date planned for Diablo 3, but one thing is certain: the new online community brings us one step closer to the action.
