It’s important to point out that Diablo 4 is not an MMORPG. The Diablo 4 open world does come closer to the vision of the original Diablo development team’s [https://diablo.puredmg.com/more-blizzard-north-diablo-3-shots-surface/ (Blizzard North) version of Diablo 3] which never saw the light of day. | It’s important to point out that Diablo 4 is not an MMORPG.

== | == Acts and the Open World == | ||
Diablo 3 will include Acts but players will be able to approach them in a different order unlike previous games. | |||
These [[camps]] will be discovered by players as they traverse the world. Blizzard won’t necessarily push players to camps as part of questlines, they are there to be discovered and ultimately restored to a friendly status. | The game's story branches will always bring the player back on the right path but they can be tackled in different orders. This means that when a player starts another playthrough they don't necessarily have to start on Act 1 as with previous games. | ||
== Map of the Open World == | |||
There will de different ways to view the map including full map and mini-maps to help players. [https://diablo4.purediablo.com/map See more on the map]. | |||
== Strongholds == | |||
[[Camps|Strongholds]] are areas inside a map that have been overrun by monsters. These areas will need to be taken back by players to create friendly outposts. These outposts will subsequently include waypoints and NPCs as they recover from their destruction by monsters. | |||
These [[camps|Stronholds]] will be discovered by players as they traverse the world. Blizzard won’t necessarily push players to camps as part of questlines, they are there to be discovered and ultimately restored to a friendly status. | |||
As an example, the shot below of the [[The Ruins of Qara-Yisu|Ruins of Qara-Yisu]] shows an outpost that was cursed, overrun by monsters and all the villagers were turned to salt. Players will be able to revive Qara-Yisu. | As an example, the shot below of the [[The Ruins of Qara-Yisu|Ruins of Qara-Yisu]] shows an outpost that was cursed, overrun by monsters and all the villagers were turned to salt.

<bluepost> Our goal has always been to incorporate elements from shared world games without the game ever feeling like it’s veering into massively multiplayer territory. To be clear, this is a philosophy rather than a tech limitation. We find that the game stops feeling like Diablo and the world feels less dangerous when you see other players too often or in too high numbers.</bluepost> | <bluepost> Our goal has always been to incorporate elements from shared world games without the game ever feeling like it’s veering into massively multiplayer territory.
