Hm... No, I haven't. It does seem kind of interesting, though. Might look for something similar next time I'm at a book store. I guess that would be under sci-fi? :confused:

Hmm im confused as to what blizz will do alot of you say that tetris is confirmed but the gameplay video shows things having their own slot (either its not tetris or they are just small items).

In the most recent rendition of the inventory, yes, the tetris system seems to have returned. See here.

All resolved

This is something that they can't know until after the game is launched. It's based entirely on large-scale player reaction and how common cookie-cutter builds that don't incorporate said skills are.

Love your name, by the way

Yet again, after an enormous delay in any manner of update, Diablo II's patch 1.13 may soon be seeing some real news, perhaps even as soon as this week. Staff-begotten hopes, have fallen through the cracks before, however, as many unfortunate incidents have arisen through the patch's development history this year.

Back in September, Bashiok made the hopeful proclamation that we would be seeing a tangible update on the patch within a week's time. As the days, and weeks, rolled by, he eventually made another statement, which excluded the week-hopeful but unfortunately contained no new information (see Diablo II Patch 1.13- More Delays, Hopefully a Brighter Future).

As a long month has passed since any substantial updates, concerns shifted to the patch emerging as a myth in gaming history and essential vaporware. The clock has come full circle finally, however, and there is a slightly different demeanor that Bashiok bares in his latest response to patch news:


As opposed to the nebulous hope he had stated more than a month ago, it seems that we may be nigh on the edge of real news, perhaps even a date, considering how long this patch has been in development. Take it as you will, this provides some semblance of hope in the growing disinterest in an elusive patch.

UPDATE November 18, 2009:

Add them in and source them. It's a Wiki, anyone can edit it.

I'd say if you can't save up for a few months to $300, yeah, just get the PS2. Lots of great games. Most newer games haven't really hit that benchmark yet for me. That and they still publish new PS2 titles, though I'm not sure how long this will last.

If you think you can wait a little and manage to save up about $300, you can get a next-gen. system that has full support for all PS2 titles and most PS1 titles, not to mention you can download a lot of fun games from PSN for pretty cheap. And it plays DVD's and Blu-Ray's, music, and so on. And it has tons and tons of hard drive space. Plus FFXIII and Versus come out next year I believe, or so it's predicted, so... (That's mainly why I got it- that and to download FFVII from PSN).

If you can't, though, yeah, PS2

You should have at least a hundred by now, you have two boxes. Or maybe I just don't fully understand how this works

Just when we thought that news on Diablo III had ground to a halt, Blizzard comes at us with another snippet of information.


So it's confirmed! Unique items will, in the tradition of both Diablo games, have their own unique animations to go along with them.

In the case of Diablo I and II, nearly every unique weapon had its own alternative icon, such as the Jade Tan Do, or the Soul Harvest. Some unique items didn't have their own icons of course, but for the most part, they were grand, powerful looking weapons far beyond the plain items they were based on.

However, this unique-appearance did not extend beyond the inventory, it still looked like the rest of the items when actually equipped on your character. The system now, however, seems to use the same models in-inventory, and on-character. Basically, this means that how it appears in your inventory, is how it will appear on your character.

No longer will your Bonesnap look like the rest of the run of the mill mauls, it will look unique on your character!

Personally, I have always seen Diablo as a leveling game, rather than a race to end-game. I always thought most spent their time leveling(and releveling) characters, with a few really relishing the grind of the end-game.

I suspect you're one of the few. At least of the still-active crowd.

I like that way too myself. The game is far more fun with low levels, brand-new skills all the time, almost every piece of equipment have a big chance of being useful, all the planning and hacking with lots of people playing to have fun. In end-game everything comes to a repetition of the same equipment and skills trying to find a 1 in a million equipment that could be better than the current, blaming others for picking up a good item quicker and saving it for another char when it could be useful to a player in the room, calling everyone who makes a mistake a noob, and things like that.

I started over my bnet account like 9 times with no characters each time and it is really fun. But when the character gets around lvl 80 I find the game somewhat boring.

EDIT

Damn, those nice memories make me think I'm probably going to start playing it over again tonight after work...

Veeeeery true.
PS: Finished the generator. Now I need to setup a mysql db and store it all... and make a list page.. .and stuff.

Now hold on here. This has such great potential, I mean this could be used as forum rewards and whatnot! We need to implement this right. Definitely meeting material.

Quote from Magistrate

@OP: Kris, how would you say number two pertains to news? Just so that I have an idea of what to bring to the meeting. It usually seems difficult to me to be able to establish long-term goals with news because of its very short-term nature. I guess there's the desire for interviews, but beyond that... I'm not sure.

I had a thought on this, but it's very specific. Really, what I think we should do is use our assets more wisely. For example, we have that nice little flash box on the front page, but we're not updating it regularly. What we should do it reserve it for editorials, interviews and major blizzard news, and let post reporting, recaps, community spotlights etc. simply roll down the front page. That way, we can give increased exposure to articles while still reporting quickly on new things.

This can probably be incorporated across the entire site by using what we have in more clever ways. The main page of the wiki could use some more streamlining like this I think.

Quote from Magistrate

Maybe...recommended news practicum reading to improve style/audience awareness/awareness of important information? Dunno. Monthly structure analysis of a random article from a big-time news column? Comparison to big-name game news sites?

Don't know what you mean except the column, you need to elaborate

I like the Shannara Series by Terry Brooks. Great author, wonderful books.

He wrote a series about a fantasy world set after "The Great Wars," filled with magic and such. Then he wrote a new series based in our world where magic was starting to surface. And finally he wrote a series inbetween, connecting the two. So you get to read about our world falling apart and turning into a new world of magic. Pretty awesome. His stories are spread out over like 3000 years with the link connecting all of them being the magic and evolution of the races (Elves, Trolls, Dwarves, Gnomes, Man.) Quite different since you don't actually follow the characters through different books. Or if you do they're older and you're now reading about their grand children or decendents. Very good series.

S'up guys! Long time no see

Yesterday i made some speedpainting because we finally go the 5 classes of diablo 3!
