The fans have voted their favorite Legendary Gems, but what if LGems could be used on Followers? Why are players suddenly rolling over Greater Rift 50+? Should Achievements grant in-game bonuses as well? And Blizzcon 2014 is coming in just two weeks! Show features HolyKnight3000, Rankil, and Flux


0:50 -- Recent play experience. Rankil has been on PS4 and has softcore Greater Rift envy. HK is plugging away with Crusaders and Monks. Flux is self gimping to avoid using Marauder's six piece bonus.

7:00 -- HK talks about recent fan art displaying fan class inventions. Druidomancer! And why the Necromancer won't work in Diablo III.

14:00 -- Act Six could be set in Greek Island-flavored Skovos (Amazon homeland) since Act 5 was dark and gothic? But much too large and underutilized.

18:00 -- Players are suddenly exceeding Greater Rift 50. How is the progression working so quickly?

26:50 -- Achievements! What would make them more interesting to people? In-game bonus?

34:10 -- Legendary Gems. Boon of the Hoarder is the most popular... people just like the shiny? Why does no one value the defensive LGems? What if more LGems had shiny visuals? Flux solution: LGem that granted bonuses when you earned Achievements.

43:00 -- What if Legendary Gems worked on followers? The property not to you, but to the Follower. Some of the second tier bonuses would be awesome, like free Aura effects.

47:00 -- Closing concert at Blizzcon: Metallica! Would any band produce a high percentage of appeal? Do people even want a closing ceremony music show at Blizzcon?

57:30 -- Blizzcon coming very soon. Excite? Starcraft expansion? Diablo 3 expansion? Hopes vs. expectations.
