The Diablo III blog has been updated with a short post indicating that both Companion and Reforging scrolls have been removed from the beta version of the game. According to the team, the systems were underdeveloped and can be reworked into something cool.

Hmmmm, making a lot of cuts lately. Smells of going against the mantra of "releasing when it is done" and moving to "get it the frick out the door, NOW!"
I guess there's always paid expansions for the things being cut.

I think they are actually cutting stuff to rework it and then release the game. As opposed to removing unfinished features and releasing. There was a blue post about the size of a disertation on this a week ago.

Personally after trying the whole crap companion system of swtor i m glad they have removed companions. In my opinion rpgs that have multiplayer elements must have to do about you and not about you and your stupid companion. Very nice move from blizzard.Get rid of worthless junk.In the universe of diablo i want to be alone and hopeless just like diablo 1 |

A lot of you guys don't know much about what you are talking about. A release date is closing in, and they want to take these out to rework them and expand on them. If you visit the official forums you would see 99% of all posts responding this are incredibly positive. Companion scrolls probably aren't what you are thinking they are. |

Yeah, because its SO much better leaving in a lot of crappy systems that looked good on paper but never really worked in-game and bog down the game.

The more you hype an upcoming game in your mind, the more it will fail to meet your expectations. |

Blizzard keeps slashing content out of Diablo 3. Pricetag is still $60. Relic hasn't slashed any content out of Torchlight 2. Pricetag is still $20. Hmm... |

Originally posted by Swoogie They aren't, they are cutting this content so they don't have to worry about it when they push the game out on release day. Whether or not it means we see it down the road with the obligatory expansion who knows. And I'm saying this because this is exactly what happened with Blizzards last major release, WoW: Cataclysm. Remember they gutted out what had to be half of the promised content mentioned in the announcement trailer for release, which led to one of the most dull, uninteresting, utterly horrible Archaeology profession as it is now. |

Removing anything really isn't increasing my interest for the game. They've had ten years to brainstorm and around half of that to develop a third title in their incredibly succesful series; what have they been doing all this time? I'm way passed giving a shit about Diablo 3, now. I'll watch the cinematics on Youtube and be done with it. |

Companions were not removed, only Scrolls of Companions. |

I just hope that after release they add stuff, it can cost money, but I want to keep the Diablo experience alive. D2 just got too stagnant after LoD. The oddball changes they made with synergies and runewords were actually kind of annoying to me. I didn't need a harder game, or a game that made single tree specs enticing when at endgame it was still suicide to only run (for example) one element as a sorceress, and it's just too hard to hunt runes that you actually want or need. I assume the AH will fix that in D3 at least. There was simply no room for legit trading in D2 after 04, it was nothing but spambots for ebay sales in the lobby. So okay take out some stuff, release the game, but don't just forget about it after one expac. |

You aren't a fan if you aren't getting the game, if you aren't getting the game, don't pretend you ever were. If you didn't notice they dropped the franchise entirely in favor of WoW development for years. We are honestly lucky they are bringing it back due to a lull between WoW's explosive growth and the next MMO they bring out. |

Both will be worth twice their price tag, and anyone who's played the original TL and the game it tried to rip off (D2), knows this. |

Originally posted by adam_nox Blizzard has never dropped the Diablo franchise. the game began developement at Blizzard North in 2000, they worked on two iterations of the game up until 2005 when the studio closed. Blizzard Irvine has been working on the current iteration since that time.
