Man I think diablo 3 would be much better if Blizz north was doin it

OMG really? Have u already played the game?!? I want too so I can tell my opinion about the game..

Seriously idiot.

Gold had more value in the game before LOD. I remember 3soc shields, perfect gems, perfect skulls, white imbueable items being traded a lot for gold. Why? Simple there was a great chance of getting insane gear from gamble. From sojs -> tarn helm to godly rares(rares where the best items back then).

But still most of the good gear was traded for other good gear.. because no amounth of gold could make it certain that you get equal good item from gamble.

Something like extra imbues, extra sockets and whatever should be in game that would cost gold after the quest reward. This way there would be even more use for the gold.

It sucks that Blizzard always think so much about the random retard, but never about the skilled player.

Well yes they most of their customers are the casuals.. just look at what wow have become.

But still I think the change of the system is ok. Didn't really mind about hanging in trade channels.. I rather went to kill some monsters and hope something drops for me.

Just saw that there was a "minor lethality rune"

I think runes will work in the same way as gems, and there will possibly be runeword or rune-gem word comibinations, but they won't be so biased towards the high-skill players.

Instead of the 30 something runes there were, now we have ones like lethality, vitality, power, and varying levels of this; minor, moderate, mega (or something)

Lethality might be the equivalent of bleeding/open wounds in D2
Vitality might be life steal in a weapon, +vitality in a helmet etc.

Power Power Lethality might be something, but depending on the strengths of the runes used, will depend on the effectiveness of the runeword.

Also just saw the final boss in the demo dropped an Amulet. Maybe medallions are what charms have become

Nice notice. I think only way runes should be in game is this type of thing. No more full runeword items, but power up your existing ones and maybe with right combination you could get some sort of bonus(not too OP tho)

1) Have you decided the level cap yet and will it again be harder to achieve it like before LOD?
2) Howabout the leveling system. Are we gonna see people running just 1 area in 1 big group or maybe spread out to different areas in many smaller groups or solo?
3) Are you gonna keep the item system as it is: magical, rare, unique, set? If so are we gonna see more possibilities for items to be best in slot? For Example rares having a chance to be better than uniques.

Edit as you wish

I've been wondering about this for a while and haven't seen an answer anywhere. With the new hotbar design and the red orbs for health; does this mean there WON'T be potions anymore? I have two arguments..

I can answer that. They said there will still be potions but there might be some sort of cooldown, not yet decided. Potions are now more like an emergency rarther than you drink them all the time. No idea about the mana tho.

now I'm totally depressed!
blizzard is taking out the heart and soul of diablo 3 and replacing it with one from WoW.
the art direction is WoW-ish, when i paused the gameplay video over the skills it looked like the 20 skill tab on the D2 skill tree has been replaced by some WoW-like skill system.
and now the PvP aspect of the game seems like its going to lean more towards a WoW-ish view rather than a Diablo view.... WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU BLIZZARD!!! (sorry but I'm seriously frustrated)

What made the Diablo series so great was that it kept you excited, and the PvP system was one of the most exciting aspects of Diablo. knowing that you could be killed by someone at any moment is part of the fun and it kept people involved with the game.
if u didnt want that, u could always make a password proteced game or put a level tab on ur game... easy as that!!!!

The Diablo II skill tree was one of the best damn things that ever happened to the Diablo games. because of it we where able to have many many builds of the same class, the builds seemed infinite. they where certaintly much more than anything the WoW skill system offered.

And the art, NO BLIZZARD ITS NOT JUST MUSIC THAT GIVES DIABLO ITS DARK FEEL!!! music is a huge factor in the equation but even more importantly is the color scheme. NICE COLORFUL RAINBOWS DONT FEEL LIKE "DIABLO" AT ALL!!!! no matter how eerie the music playing in the background is.

Blizz needs to take their heads out of WoW's ass and look into Diablo's instead!!!


P.S please excuse me for my language but I think I have the right to be mad as I am a "Diablo" fan who has been waiting for this game to come out for 8 years!!! and seeing them turn this game to something more of a non MMO WoW game is just disgusting to me!!

Yeyey just play D2 if u want D3 to be so much alike it.. rest of us can go to D3 and we don't have to worry about your whines in there.

Edit. oh I tought these people had left the forums already since there hasn't been such postings in a few days.. seems like I was wrong

They should keep PK but also make a system that If the PK don't kill anyone in 10 mintues the hostile wears off and you can't hostile in that game again.

It is just stupid that pkers like to waste your time by camping the wp or some quest area without being able to kill anyone. If they can't kill anyone then bye bye u suck quit pking if u can't and let other people do their quests and level ups.

Few days ago I was doing norm act2.. well this pk 5 levels above me was camping claw viper temple.. I didn't wanna go there since I would have died ofc. So I waited a while and the pk just didn't go away. Well I changed the game and was able to get all the way up to arcane sanctuary... and the pk joins the game again and comes there. I tp to town. Aand again the waiting begins. This is what sux, people higher level than u camp quest areas and u can't progress even if u change game. Well I just went to bed already but left my character there I hope that pk had some nice time while waiting me to get back

Sure I could have made a password game but hey whats the damn fun playing single player, mobs die instantly and u get like 0 exp.

PK's aren't hard.. you suck hard if u get killed by one, but annoying thing is that you can just wait in town while they camp the areas. Sure you could say "then go and kill the pk" but it ain't really wise when the guy is 5 levels above you. Many times some PK builds like charger palas can easily kill you even if they are lower than you.

Oh well this happens mostly only in normal mode so it ain't so much pain in the ass. But anyways just a tought that would remove the ever camping pk's. Since if they can't kill something in the first 5 minutes It's highly unlikely they will get anything done. Then they childlishly start yelling "Game owned" and get their epeen up.

this is my point ...
in the past - i had 11 copies of D2 ... ( i buy them all ),
and i play simultaneusly with them on my PC's in home ( 3 PC under linux, with some diablos running on each of them ).
well - this was a greath fun , and greath time .. anyway - i wonldnt pay 4 play for sure ...
how much i should pay for 11 D3 every month ? - ROFL ...
Let Blizzard make their minds - beter sell D3 prety high , than every month pay for play !
if they wish some money ( greedy - let make it - something like 5$ at YEAR - i wont spend more for it ! )

Some people have 5 accounts in wow and pay 5x per month in order to multibox (play simultaniously with 5 characters) many times they also put up 5 different computers so it runs smoothly. (compared to 5x wow on 1 computer)

well anyways thats enough from wow.

In this finnish netstore they have a date for release in november 29th 2008 and preorders are up. But below it says "its an estimate and will probably change"

Welcome Diabloo 3!!!
