Edit* To be fair, there's a lot less freaking out over here than on incgamers, but I don't have an account there
There's a lot of rumors flying around about the NDA lift on the first. The most important thing to remember is that it's all unfounded bullshit.
As far as I've seen the only thing any of this is based off of is a quote from Flux regarding a bashiok post on easy vs accessable:
"The first topic that leaps to mind in terms of “too easy vs. accessible” is no longer valid, since that game feature has changed a lot since we last had public info about it. And there’s a new changed/feature that excellently illustrates this point, but I can’t comment on it yet."
These are not words to send you running outside and screaming at pedestrians. Every time there's a Blizzcon or any other even we get features that have "changed a lot since we last had public info about [them]." This is not something new.
Hell, the last big one we had was the new rune system, and it's freakin' AWESOME.
Even if some of the weird things people are saying were true (though of course it's still almost certainly totally unfounded bullshit), they don't have the full story. It's far more likely any significant changes are going to be incredible and badass like the rune change than some sort of apocalyptic game-destroying nightmare.
That's all, you can go back to fear-mongering now, I doubt most people will be reasonable enough to listen.
+1 and Flux's unfounded bullsh1t is just successful trolling on his part probably because he feels like screwing the community for not being invited to the press event.
He's not much different than those fakes before him, IMO he's even worse having a site's reputation to keep.
Even if the items are easy to get (if thats what people are worried about) Blizzard made it this game soo awesome , that you even need to spend time to find...
gemstones,
runestones,
I mean then on top of that... you need a gemstone for each skill(how many skills do you have again?), also your weapons will need gems in em, so your gunna need to look for them too. And if you wanna make ur DPS the most, your going to spend even more time to look for that certain gem!
I mean, I honestly trust Blizzard very much about this game. Everything they released so far sounds dead on. The only thing I hope(which from the item views, it doesnt seem like it) is that there are items with crazy stats just like diablo 2. I wanna be able to find an item that will have "+85 run & attack speed". From the screenshots and the videos, it seems like they totally took that outta Diablo 3 since, they always bring up how an item with have like "2 random enchentments?(couldnt think of the actual word for em)."
Edit* People ARE freaking out on here, just less The "worst fears" thread or whatever it was is ridiculous.
Flux strikes me as someone who shouldn't be in a writing position.
Frankly he comes off as the worst kind of D2 purist. Unwilling to believe any changes could be made in the new game that would improve the old one. And he can get kind of snide about it in his posts.
Sometimes some of our writers here can be guilty of that too, but usually very mildly. You can tell they are trying to remain neutral. I appreciate that
I for one am pro anything that makes the game better, be it from the old games or brand new. Blizz has an excellent track record in that respect, so there is nothing to worry about.
Also, I'd like to point out that since this is a beta reveal, none of the changes are going to be significant enough to push the release back. The only thing that's gonna change that at this point is if there are major issues during the beta, which is unlikely
That's a bit harsh, don't you think? Just because some people are worried that their most fave game may end up being super messed up that doesn't make them "dipshits"...
It's not just people worrying though, it's people making up shit which makes them dipshits.
Well as Iam from sweden it will be around 8 in the morning here when we get the news..
(Did not care to check time could be wrong about 8 but something like that)
So I have to wait 8hours longer it feels like
Or, you 8 hours closer to the monday the others
there always is a bright side
And, we can learn no important things on the 1st of aug, just another bunch of screenshots and new gameplay video

And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell. Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell...
Oh, okay... I guess expressing opinion and worriment (some kind of emotion ya know?) about something makes you a "dipshit" nowadays. Oh well have a nice day Mr. Perfect.
I express my worries about the game every day in various ways. I don't make shit up about it though. There's a pretty huge and distinct difference.

People like that you tend to just say Mhm and agree until there know it all talk goes away or you go away.

Let dipshits be dipshits and move on. Lovely day outside, isn't it?

I'm tripping balls man
If people freaking out bugs you so much, just don't read those posts...simple isn't it.
