Look at her there, hunting demons with her demon hunting skills. What a pro.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ApgJ-dzzZXc\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, the game&#8217;s hellish Inferno difficulty has apparently been modified, according to Diablo III community manager Bashiok.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInferno monster levels aren\u2019t linear any longer. They get progressively more difficult. This was really a reaction to Inferno playtesting,\u201d he explained on the Battle.net forums.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe expect that anybody with enough time and dedication will reach level 60. But the jump in difficulty to Inferno needed to be different amounts for different people. For the crazy people they need a huge ramp in difficulty, for a more \u2018casual&#8217; but still hardcore audience you want an obvious but milder increase in difficulty.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added that, as a result of the changes, the game&#8217;s final Acts are &#8220;really, really brutally hard, for the most elite players only\u201d. But it&#8217;s hard all the way through already, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re going to die, a lot, and you\u2019re going to have a horrible character for quite a while. You\u2019re not going to hit 60 and finish the game on Inferno. You\u2019re going to be smashing your face against Act 1 Inferno for weeks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; that&#8217;s something to look forward to. Or something.<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2012\/04\/03\/diablo-iii-demon-hunter-trailered-inferno-detailed\/\" target=\"_blank\">VG247<\/a><\/h5>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Related articles<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Diablo III system requirements revealed\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/34992-diablo-iii-system-requirements-revealed.html\">Diablo III system requirements revealed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/news\/34275-diablo-iii-release-date-announced.html\"><strong>Diablo III release date announced<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"..\/news\/33947-blizzard-removes-pvp-from-diablo-iii.html\">Blizzard removes PvP from Diablo III<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hard gets harder<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":32650,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[31,3182,665,1799],"class_list":["post-35377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-pc","tag-active","tag-bashiok","tag-blizzard","tag-diablo-iii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35377"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35377\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35388,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35377\/revisions\/35388"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
