Respecing basically give you the option to unlearn all your skill points and then put them back in again anyway you would like. Instead of leveling a new char
If they make items in d3 boe or bop I will prolly not play the game
Ok I have decided to draw a picture for those of you who still cannot understand why this system is good. Its like d2jsp only faster in-game so no alt-tab and it puts a stop to item and gold selling websites.
This is just an example and there would obviously be many more nice features that blizzard could add. Like being able to drag and drop your items into your post so when people are searching for items they can view the item and all of its stats.
In-game Auction House/ISO System where users post items anonymously with no price listed (you can post comments for what your looking for).
When you find something you would like to trade for there is an option to contact the buyer/seller and make a deal. However the game will mask the two individuals names as Buyer and Seller. Once an agreement has been made and both parties want to trade they click a button to do the trade. This will then send the buyer and seller into a private trading game where there names are hidden from eachother and then they complete the trade. Once in game you can do all the trading you want. The users will not be able to type there own name in chat boxes to prevent sending there real names to eachother.
Blizzard can also disable trading of items of a certain value in "regular games". Players can join random "trading games" where their name will be hidden, and unrestricted in-game trading can occur. Players can not choose which trading game to join and can not see the name of the game.
The down side to this is that you would not be able to trade with friends easily. To counter this, Blizzard can also make it so that if you have a mutual friend for 10 (or more) days you can trade without restrictions (and gain a special achievement :-]). This will not prevent FG trading but will make it very annoying.
Then all blizzard has to do is make sure gold is not the common currency and it will make things very difficult for gold farmers.
With this system trading stays FUN, LEGIT and EASY!
I am not a fan of gold as a common currency. However I do agree it should be more useful in d3 than it was in d2.
Why?
1. Makes trading less fun.
2. People will not trade items for items anymore.
3. It makes it easy for gold farmers. (Example: WoW)
I am a fan of a ISO trade system that forces you to interact with the buyer/trader. Basically a giant list of items for sale/trade that players can search through rather than spamming for hours in a trade channel. The postings in this list would not show a price as everyone will look up the item they are selling to see what the average price is which will set standard prices for everything and allow people to monopolize the market. However you could make comments in the item you are listing, like what things you are ISO. This will force everyone to interact with the buyer/seller which will keep trading fun but not to tedious.
Blizzard declares it against the EULA to buy/sell items for an out of game currency.
Any forum that negotiates trades for some other currency is going to have to list player account names or character names. Otherwise players would have no way to negotiate trades.
Then Blizzard can simply go look on the forums and ban those accounts every now and then. It wont take many banned accounts before people stop doing it.
This will not work because people would not make there forum account names the same as there d3 accounts.
Soulbound items is not an option because it takes away trading period.
We need something else to go along with a good in-game system that deturs the use of third party sites.
I am a fan of less skills. When you have a ridiculous number of skills it makes balancing the game even harder and you end up with more useless skills.
The thing is, forum gold has a great value. Ingame gold has none.
If they make sure gold is very important in Diablo III, such as being absolutely necessary to get some useful stuff, and regulate the amout given to the player, then ingame gold will be used as a currency. Just like in WoW actually, you may not want to hear this, but WoW completely succeeded on this point. Because you need it to buy a new mount, buy some stuff... and whatever you do, there's always a small fee to pay.
If gold is only something you occasionaly need to repair stuff or buy scrolls, then it's completely useless... and will not be used as a currency.
I personally think the WoW gold system is complete fail and I hope gold is not a currency because it makes it that much easier for gold farmers. They dont have to get out there and trade because whatever they find has a currency in gold.
Wtf does D2JSP have to do with the fact that you can pay cash for items? There's a hundred sites out there that sell D2 items for cash...
Actually 'cash' is too much of a word. You can equip your character with the best possible gear for peanuts.
Yes I know there are other sites that sell items but they are not on the scale that d2jsp is and yes I think they should be stopped to. Anyway if you can stop d2jsp then you can stop all the other sites like it...
This is precisely the issue. What are players supposed to do? I'm all about giving players the CHOICE to do what they want to do and I think the freedoms that Diablo 2 allowed are a huge reason why it was so much fun to play.
QFT
it may be easier for the game designers to limit options but that does not mean its better.
Anyone who's new to the game should have to go through a learning phase. With no learning curve the game quickly becomes boring because there's barely any choices to make. Why why why is Jay on a mission to make this the easiest candy-coated game on the market? I liked being able to make choices, sometimes I made mistakes but oh well, I learned from them and felt like a better player because of it. But now Jay chooses all my attribute points for me? Who's Jay to say, "THIS is how we play!"
lol gogo appease the general public and make the game idiot proof
mistakes and are good and lead to self improvement... this is true in real life and video games.
