The first Diablo III expansion is Diablo III: Reaper of Souls

The teaser site is already live.Gamescon announcement incoming, or is it going to be announced separately, on its own?

Also, The Dark Below wasn't the Diablo III expansion after all. What was it? GAF speculates it might be the name of the next (and likely final) World of Warcraft expansion.

Dark Below is all but confirmed to be the next WoW expansion, and no, it won't be the last. Anyone playing for more than a day could tell you they're setting up Sargeras as the last expansion. Dark Below implies Azshara, IE underwater or beneath the earth expansion.

Dark Below isn't the next WoW expansion since it's suppose to be about the Burning Legion coming back, having it named Dark Below wouldn't fit the theme for it.

My guess it's probably the offical name for Titan or w/e their next MMO is called.

One of the bosses in WoW is Ozumat servant of the Dark Below so it is going to be a WoW expansion

Yay?

Really sceptical of this and anything Blizzard will make because of how awful Diablo 3 was at launch.

Perhaps if this doesn't have AO-DRM and real money auction house I will consider buying.

How "original".

But hey, D3 was awesome. I'll certainly get the expansion.

So 'The Dark Below' is a WoW expansion?

I really hope not. I loved Mists of Pandaria and the lighter themes of the expansion, I really don't think a cartoony game like WoW suits a dark and gritty expansion.

If it is a place, doesn't it suggest that, by default, it will have a dark tone of some sort?

Now I can't relate darkness, pure, evil, satanic darkness with undersea darkness. I just couldn't.

Wowpedia: The dark below is a place inhabited by demons, devils, and infernal creatures.

Looks like it could be a Burning Legion expansion for WoW. Would be awesome.

I'm hoping to finally see the Old Gods face to face and that we will get go to nazjatar and finally get to free Neptulon from Ozumat.

I'm guessing the WoW underworld - caves, caverns, tunnels, underground cities - aka more Dwarves, Dark Elves and ....wait for it.... wait for it.... Goblins.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that "dark below." Some people speculate that the Dark below contains demons who are not aligned with the legion as it is unknown exactly what relationship it has with the twisting nether if there is any at all. It may also be another name for the twisting nether itself.

It would be cool to get another Lich King expansion, the new lich king (Bolvar).

Blizzard just sucks so hard.

I miss blizzard North :(

WoW is too far gone at this point to be worth playing again

Torchlight 2 is a better game than Diablo 3, and Path of Exile is the best in the genre

Meh to this news from Blizzard. Bring on a new MMO that fixes every mistake made between The Burning Crusade and Mists of Pandaria.

I wonder if it'll come to consoles.Xaero_Gravity

Will probably come to consoles featuring no DRM and no RMAH.

Sorry, I don't play Pay-To-Win games.

This expansion is day 1 :D

Sorry, I don't play Pay-To-Win games.

No, Pay To Win implies you are paying to become more powerful in order to beat them. There is no 'beating' them in Diablo. The game revolves around co-operation so if anything, it improves the entire group. Buying items with real money has always been common place in Diablo games, only difference is it's integrated into the game now which drastically reduces any risk of being scammed. 

Also, mechanically it's the same as any other Diablo game, which were highly praised. So this means you think it's a bad game because you don't like dungeon crawlers/Diablo games.

Mechanically it is completely opposite from EVERY other action RPG out there. The combat mechanics, hit mechanics are designed from an MMO perspective. There is no dodgeing or juking out of dmg , only gearing up over it. (herp derp I wonder why RMAH and this were put in tandem). D3, As soon as an attack animation starts playing, the game has at that point decided whether the attack has landed, missed, resisted etc. Now it doesnt matter how far away you move, how you dodged , you could be halfway across the screen when the sword swipe or what have you swings over the place your body was and the hit will register. Now for a dumbass or a blizzard fanboy, i'm sure that complete butchery of the ACTION part of the RPG makes sense, but here on planet earth in the mind of a real gamer, that's an obvious push to get more RMAH revenue. Enjoy your expansion. Gamers like you are made for shit games like that =)

As for the pay to win. There is nothing more futile than trying to inform the willfully ignorant. So continue to believe whatever you want.

No it isnt. Nor will it be. That image if geniune, says book of tyrael on it which makes it diablo 3.

The expansion will probley be awesome, It may add all the crap people have been wanting that Blizz left out so they could sell this expansion. Reguardless of how much trash you people talk about it here, it will sell millions.

Finally, some gaming news that I find truly, actually exciting.musicalmac

Can't even remember what my Diabl0 3 password is anymore been that long since I played, so yup I won't be buying.

Pay to Win? What exactly is there to win? It's a single player/co-op game. 

The P2W arguement is fair enough, but I wouldnt call it a mechanically a bad game.

The game's biggest problem for me is the itemization, but the actual combat mechanics are good and since I dont mind being unpopular, I will also state that the game's character build system (passive and active skills) is far more interesting than Path of Exile's convoluted but still woefully shallow skill puddle.

The Itemization in a game like this however, can very easily be a game breaker and unfortunately it was what made me lose interest in the game anyway, but the game's overall mechanics were good, but the itemizaiton was a killing blow.

1. I played Diablo 2 till my fingers bled

2. The way I read your post it looked like you were agreeing with my points, I hope I got your point.

POE is what the garbage Diablo 3 should have been.

But why are people praising it everywhere? I see animosity towards Diablo 3 and praise for Path of Exile on almost every gaming site/forum I visit. 

Ravenshout

Because it reminds them of Diablo 2. I personally don't like it. Gave it a try but it felt way too slow and heavy IMO. I'm not going to say it was bad because I obviously don't know shit about the game further than what I played, but I can say that I (really) do not like it.
