MMOEXP: The surroundings of Diablo 4 will change outside
"When you throw Cataclysm as the Druid, regardless of what's going on in the Diablo IV Gold world it brings the storms and rain using it," John tells me, adding that you will also see puddles start to form on ground. "Having the ability to dynamically change weather based on abilities is fun because there are a great deal of things which we can do with that."
Destruction comes in to play, where in ways that haven't been seen in the sequence, the surroundings of Diablo 4 will change outside all of the carefully placed bits of pottery. "When you're in a space killing monsters and everything's smashed and breaking, you have essentially put your mic on the entire world and changed it"
Diablo 4 wasn't built using the technology created for Diablo 4, this overhaul of the visuals, graphics and cartoon required a fresh approach. That said, things like how the intricate methods, loot functions and mechanics that interact with each other can carry over between matches. "With any effort you take your learnings along with your tool-kits, and you simply update them," Luis describes. "Although Diablo 4 is still an overhaul, there were little pieces of Diablo 4 technology that made sense to carry over into Diablo 4."
"Destruction comes into play, where outside each of the carefully placed pieces of pottery, Diablo 4's surroundings will change in ways that have not been seen before in the set." With these being the new ability that was evade, an evolution of the feature first seen in the console launch of Diablo 4. On PC, pressing the spacebar will Evade causing your character to dash from the way of an incoming assault or simply move into another position in the most effective way possible. Immediately it provides a new layer of depth that is strategic to Diablo combat.
"We got that in there very early and also the inspiration did indeed come in D4 materials for sale on console," Luis recalls. This is a case where we brought the element from the games release to inspire PC. We enjoy it quite a bit, we like how it feels on mouse and keyboard and we like it on control "
