You know, if the Runes were first announced with the same functionality that they have now, everyone would be happy. I personally like the new system. A lot. It makes a lot of sense. The only thing is, is will it cost gold to take runes out of your skills? If so, gold has just become quite a bit more worthy.
And it won't take long before the AH (gold or real money) will start filling up with rolled runes. You'll be able to find the runes you're looking for within the first few months of playing. Sure, they may not be Rank 7 or "perfect", but you'll find the ones you're looking for. Unless a certain one is OP at the time.
Another thing, is the affixes. I love this idea. If the affixes can be amongst many of different possibilities, builds are going to get REALLY deep, and the search for the absolute perfect rune will keep you playing. Such as a 415% ED BotD in D2.
I don't think that it will make things too complicated, I just think you will have to know what you're trying to achieve. I doubt you're going to break your build with a few affixes that aren't completely perfect. But if you want to get the most out of your desired build, then you will have to pursue the best stats.
It's up to YOU if you want to be absolutely perfect or not. It's not going to ruin your playing experience.

Jul 8, 2011AcidReign posted a message on ALTernate Styles of LootingI'm going to go with the classic functionality. It will be easier to transition into Diablo III if the controls are very similar. In this case, the exact same.Posted in: News
For some reason, I liked hitting ALT after a big battle and then finding a surprise. If I find a surprise right away, with the 10 seconds-til-fade option, then it just won't feel the same. Still nice, but not the same. -

May 20, 2011AcidReign posted a message on BlizzCon Ticket PricesFrom what I believe I heard, I think they are opening more of the convention center to fit in more guests and exhibits. Titan might finally be unveiled, but what I'm really hoping and planning to see is an official Diablo III release date announcement, as well as an area of the show floor to play the console versions of Diablo III.Posted in: News
Not that I would choose to play D3 on consoles anyways, but Blizzard is a business, afterall, and seeing more people be converted to Diablo fans would be nice. Maybe the console and PC crowd could grow and surpass the WoW community. -
May 20, 2011AcidReign posted a message on BlizzCon Ticket PricesI'd pay $175 to play a Diablo III demo ALONE. But I'd also like to sit on some panels and watch some SC2 matches. I think $175 is reasonable price for what you get. If the $25 increase happens every year, then yes, they will become overpriced.Posted in: News

Three thumbs up. -
May 14, 2011AcidReign posted a message on The Follower BluesIf the Followers can provide something useful other than speech while sitting idle in town in Nightmare and Hell (and on co-op), then I can see less problems with the system. Even to me, it does seem like a waste of development time if the Followers are only effective in Normal mode on single player, and have no additional features to them that make them useful outside of combat and on higher difficulties.Posted in: News
Honestly, I don't want a Follower in the first place, just to get that same feeling I had in D1, where I was all alone in a dark dungeon seeking treasure and Terror. And hey, that's up to me. I don't have to have a follower if I don't want to. But for my first playthrough, I'll use one. Just to immerse myself in the story, and enjoy everything I can about D3.
Then I'll get down to business. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

On another note, I don't think Sacrifice should kill all three at once. It's a 60 second cooldown on the dogs.

It would be either April 17th or 24th. Any earlier and I'd be surprised, and any later... Well... It is Blizzard, right?

Only a few more days to see if it holds up!

You will know exactly what I'm talking about when you finally play the beta.
P.S. - For those trying their hardest to boycott the beta and streams to have an absolutely fresh and new experience on release, I salute you!
