    posted a message on The New Diablo 3 Skill system
    Ok, so this is the topic of the week, everybody coming up with ideas and all.

    I started this thread, not to ask for ideas, but for us try to guess using true data, blizzard gave us during those last 2 years, for what are they planning.

    So here are some:

    If you dont wanna watch full blizzcons discussions (faster video) :
    I didnt made the video, but somebody did copilated every panel


    Blizzcon 2008 video panel about skills

    The first panel about skills that you see on that video was abandoned this year 2009 , however its very well something they may have gone back.

    Its not a skill tree... and reading the developers idea ( NOT FINAL, BUT ON THE RIGHT TRACK written on that panel)


    And rolling back to ideas blizzard HAD, but abandoned ( and might be back )

    Blizzcon 2008 video panel about skills ( older ideas )


    Ok, videos are there, blizzard has art for all those skills systems, they can very well be trying any of those styles.

    Facts of what is coming that we know:

    Ideas that blizzard like :
    * Randomly dropped skills
    * Skills Modifications (will still be by Runes atm )
    * Class specific skills
    * At least 6 active skills ( they are on the panels, and also if you notice on diablo 3 webpage its around that per class )
    * Signature Skill

    Ideas that blizzard dislike, or they dont think fits the game :
    * Sinergy ( added confusion, and didnt solved the problem back then )
    * Not a high number of skills
    * Not using the "UO" system ( of using the skill to level up it )


    This pretty much opens and close for what we can expect, and can?t...

    posted a message on Diablo 2 LOD / Windows 7 / Directdraw
    "DirectX7 lost 32bit Zbuffer in Windows XP, which is why many Dx7 games run so much slower."

    I?m pretty sure its back ( or never went off ) from directX10 ... However OS may vary handling those, maybe next patch of Diablo 2 may help that frame rate problem thou.

    But i could help the colour problem. At least here I see no frame rates drops on WIndows 7, with D1 or D2. Doing that change also, and using D3D.

    posted a message on Diablo 2 LOD / Windows 7 / Directdraw
    I do never ever post... Only read, BUT in this case i fighted a lot with that problem, with D1 and D2 to run in Windows 7, and theres no need to download / change new drivers ( Windows 7 now a days is very updated as its installation on its drivers( Original ).

    And for god sake, Direct x10 is better then Direct x3 ( Diablo 1 required) and Direct x7 , and both of em never lost a function, only upgraded .

    So for Windows 7 ONLY users, it may help Vista users, but again,
    **** that SOLVES WINDOWS 7 PROBLEMS with OLD Diablos games ****

    1- Right Click a blank area of your Background Desktop
    2- Select "Resolutions of Screen"
    3- Select "Advanced Configurations" -> Near bottom Right
    4- It should be on "ADPTADORS" tab, if NOT choose it on the upper area, if it is, go on...
    5- Click "List all Modes"
    6- Choose 800x600 High Color (16-Bits), of the same REFRESH RATE your monitor is set at the moment ( Usually 60hrz )
    7- Apply Changes, and play game !!!

    8- Undo em to be normal again...




    Hope it helps, some options may vary in names as i?m using Portuguese Windows 7, BUT the sense of their name will that...

    The color problem, is solved with that ( 32-Bits on Vista and WIndows 7 gives problems with Diablos games, and changing back is harder then on XP )

    posted a message on Diablo 3 Boss Damage States
    Quote from "SpanishBard" »
    The very first game I've ever seen introduce these wounded states was Final Fantasy Mystic Quest for the SNES. Ever since then I've always really liked the idea. Once you got them down to a certain health, they'd have bandages and scratches all over their face. It's an interesting concept. I'm really curious to see how it plays out. I could see it being really immersing.

    Are u crazy ? first Mario Bros, when u hit a turtle then its just his back on the floor +P

    posted a message on Respec and Health Globes on Diablo III
    Well, based on Ragnarok, a respecting way is only ONCE per char, and the amount of gold based on your clvl ...

    That makes suitable to test 1 build on a char before making a final one, or make it able to recover from an acidental skill click. If u make the mistake 2 times u ´re fired and re-roll .
    On diablo theres no need to respect more then once, if at all !

    About health globes, if they keep the potions there and the belt hotkeyss ( thats part of diablo since d1 ), its ok for me, will look like Replenish Shrines of D2 or "Wells"

    Can you post to a site other than image shack so I can view from work... (Since I can't see youtube either. Or at least explain what the image is...

    Thanks.


    Try this one:
    http://xs.to/xs.php?h=xs228&d=08264&f=map_of_stars000474.png

    I just extracted the file from Diablo 1 mpq, couldnt find another one on google...

    *
    We still have this 4th rune that nobody knows FOR SURE what game is from, and tomorrows rune wich will most likely be ANOTHER game, so this rune is not the 3 universes merging...

    My bet is Diablo 1 ( Map of Stars ) or Starcraft 1...

    *Edit: Fixed link

    Ok I registered cos you guys missed a very important thing from the new Rune.
    In Diablo I theres a map that seems to match the new rune, and that thing was ( in alpha of D1) a way to summon diablo or else Game Over...
    The map of stars :


    But also theres this game that Blizzard has abandoned production:


    Yeah and sorry for not enough posts to do the links, if someone re-post those links to help out ;D
