Alt-itis: Much of the appeal comes from taking its simplistic gameplay style and sprucing it up through constant character customization. Shifting between characters and character builds are a sure-fire way to fall prey to the game's infamously addictive nature.
Better Off Sold: The copious amounts of low-quality weapons and armor you come across are good for gold.
Cliché Storm: Part of the charm of any Blizzard game albeit more darker than most.
Diablo himself the lord of terror has many memorable quotes.
The Butcher also counts.
Fan Nickname: Combines this with Malicious Misnaming. The immense hatred towards Diablo Immortal and what it stood for a majority of gamers caused them to just omit the 't' and instead call it ''Diablo Immoral'note Carbot Animations wouldn't be the first/only one to use the term.
Harsher in Hindsight: The "Do you guys not have phones?!" quote became this due to updated ticketing and entry regluations for Blizzcon 2019. As stated in the fifth bullet point on this page, the only way to get into Blizzcon 2019 after successfully purchasing a ticket is with a smartphone that also has the spyware AXS app installed.
It Was His Sled: The path to the "secret" cow level? Not at all a secret nowadays since it was a false rumor. However, there turns out to be one in Diablo II.
"Do you guys not have phones?!" Explanation This was the response of Wyatt Cheng when a well-known Diablo player asked whether Diablo: Immortal would be released for PC, to which Cheng replied that it would be mobile-only, which was met with a very negative reaction. Cheng's response (despite being considered a panic reaction) was regarded as one of the dumbest PR missteps of the last few years, particularly because he missed the point.
"Is this an out-of-season April Fools joke?"Explanation An actual question that was asked at Blizzcon 2018 during the Diablo: Immortal Q&A by a fan. The question was met with cheers, with some people nicknaming the fan "Lord of Destruction".
Most Wonderful Sound: Loot hitting the floor. There's a reason Blizzard hasn't changed the sound set since the first game.
Play the Game, Skip the Story: The Diablo franchise does in fact have a story, and there are the hardcore "lore-fans" who spend time debating of it, but most players ignore it completely. The franchise also has loads of supplemental materials. Of course, as a result, Blizzard became savvy enough to know they can get away with Cliché Storm plots (and trailers) and only a few Tropers on this site will actually notice. Anyone who only played multi-player probably didn't even know there was a story; it skips all the cinematics and most of the background is in the manual.
Tainted by the Preview: Diablo: Immortal was hit hard with this when it was revealed to be a mobile spinoff, a concept that has become highly controversial among gamers for variousreasons. It also didn't help that they announced it at Blizzcon 2018 to an audience made up almost entirely of PC and/or console gamers.
Take That, Scrappy!: Blizzard acknowledged Wirt's scrappiness back in the first game. You find his dead body in II and, when clicked on it, a fountain of gold pops out.
