I like this idea. Although it means dropping the way things have been done for ever, its for the better. This way should save time, and even though stat benefits would change according to each character, if you know what does what to each character according to strength (or whatever), you should be able to figure it out from the basic stats anyway.
Breaking traditions, and that all round pathetic idea of "but strength makes your character seem more real" is very un-stupid when you consider how much it means to the storyline, which is what roleplaying character care about...?
I dont know anything especially dark but Mr krinkle from Primus is pretty creepy. have a look on youtube or something if u want... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtrmbfS_Vuc
The stats are really just something to compare imo.
There isnt really anything fun about them. The only contribution they make to the game is a strong reason for specific classes to have reasons for more mana (or whatever) with worse items and visaversa. Also, its a reason for classes not to use items that are supposably too heavy or difficult to use for that specific character. This is only a narrow opinion in such examples ive found from diablo 1-2.
stats are simple representations of your characters attributes that come across as fullproof reasons for stuff.
Should i later be focusing more on buffing my characters through mindless chunking bunches of monsters, the barbarian should be the one. Since the barbarian is most likely to be buffed most by item upgrading, and constant life and manasteal, which keeps up the pace, while running into orbs while using simple aoe attacks, this will be the lazy class. But if im looking for fast paced combos and/or persistant story grinding, no matter how hard it gets, someone with range will be the one to choose (not that the monk doesnt have awesome combos).
summary- showing off mah nerdyness = barbarian
searching content = 5th class or wizard/witchdoctor
I really hope its not a ranged character with pets. I prefer changing your attacking abilities to using the most powerful one over and over. So slowing attacks, cursing attacks, and combo attacks are my fave.
In most cases there are always valid reasons for people to lag behind.. eg: "i dont have enough space for this awesome item, sec, i dun wana hav to walk back" and "sec, my bro is downloading while your killing this boss and im behind, let me go DC him"
The problem is fixed by adding experience distribution according to the situation, by changing distribtution for whoever have the level closest to the monster's, and reducing (by a small amout) the experiance if the person is half the level behind. Lots of these types of parameters were added early in d2 battlenet patching (or so i remember having happened). Being lenient to prevent griefing is the key, although nothing can be done when someone disconnects.
ps: lower level (1-20) rushing was fixed nicely in d2, but not so much the rest.
Easily enough fixed, just make all set items obtainable through a non random way, achievements etc. Through wow, sets worked because, if i killed these specific bosses they had a moderate chance of dropping a piece; but in d2, any of the bosses in this difficulty have a minimal chance to drop this. I realise that this may make set items significantly less valuable (although i dont know how hard the achievements could be) but they could be a fun way to beef up moderate level characters enough for thoes that love priming their character as they level, prolonging the game experience. This method in increasing gameplay works much the say way as new wow expansions; everyone knows they are going to have to replace their items in the next expansion, but its fun to be POWERFUUUL!
A subquest involving Lazarus or would be nice. I loved the D1 quest before diablo, it was fun. Perhaps something to do with the Horodrim and the Skeleton King are enough to do with diablo 1, but the more story the better imo....Natalia wouldnt really fit in that well, but she's got some great potential.
Il just say it now, lets say you have filled up all but the last layer of your inventory, and you still have 2 more spaces; you find a sword and it takes 2 spaces, and you dont wana throw out something... why cant i just put it on its side? I think it would be a great idea to change the inventory space to an even number of layers (not columns)
For all thoes items you just wish you could put on its side.
The gameplay of the monk seems quite effective and fullproof to a standard where adding auras to this style of combat would mean, if they were to stop the monk from becoming overpowered, they would have to lessen the impact of the auras. I like a character where the auras impact the group significantly, and become interchangable and effective abilities in themselves.
As for the socalled *role* of the supporter, i dont think the auras should influence the character to a point where he would increase the effectiveness of the party threefold, while by himself, having spent so much in his role and becoming barely useful would have to be rushed through the game, resorting back to the idea of hammadins, where they would be useless untill rushed to a certain level.
