I've read through all the posts and I have to say that in D2 running past a bunch of dead monsters was completely pointless and time wasting.

I also think that dying once (with gold and exp penalties) was punishment enough, why die again when you are not equipped to fight? Its not skill; its how fast can I run around/teleport through this mob to get my body, then get out so I can recover, put my potions on my belt and get ready to fight again.

If you want to make dying be a punishment for lack of skill it should take skill to get back to where you were.

I'm not trying to hate but this really isn't news (or new information). It just seems like there is such a lull in anything really newsworthy that forum history, bad blood between ownership and historical interviews from someone who is not currently involved in Diablo development have become frontpage news.

Again, I'm not saying this isn't an interesting read but does it really merit being frontpage material?

It looks like Karune responded to this

We wanted to remind everyone that information concerning Blizzard games released on Twitter that does not originate from our official Twitter pages (linked below for reference), is not legitimate. Furthermore, while our Community Management team remains active on Twitter, we only make official "tweets" on our official Twitter pages.

@StarCraft - http://twitter.com/starcraft
@Diablo - http://twitter.com/diablo

Since it wasn't from any of these I guess it wasn't legit.

So I was reading through some of the posts a while ago and I came across a post with a quote from twitter that SC2 Battle Report 4 will be released when patch 1.13 is done. I've tried to find the twitter feed but the link says that the user's twitter is suspended. Anyway, BR4 is here and still no new D2 patch.

Does anyone else remember this or am I going nuts?

I think this calls for a group hug... Anyone?

First and first post.

I think that the alt button in Diablo 2 was a good system. I do think however it should be customizable. For example, in early game you could have it set to detect all items because you really don't care what items you get as long as it boosts your defense, stats etc. In later game, you really don't need or even want to pick up low quality items so you could set the alt button to screen those items so you only see magic, set, unique items.
