NoxioussGaz posted a message on Wiki DigestI'm sure this is already known and being dealt with but just in case, the Wizard and Witch Doctor spells still have a set number as opposed to being weapon %. Thanks.Posted in: News -

NoxioussGaz posted a message on Runic Revision?Posted in: NewsQuote from spaceninja123
Quote from Kickin_It
So, for example, if you put an unattuned Rune into your Magic Missiles and it rolls an Indigo effect (which adds additional missiles per rank), if you later decide to take that Rune out, it will forever remain a Magic Missile splitting Rune, unusable in any other skill. Even this isn't completely set in stone though, as they've hinted that they might add a functionality to the
Mystic to wipe effects off Runes.
Wont we be able to wipe effects over and over again until we get the perfect effects?
If it costs money and I'm feeling particularly unlucky one night and I need a crimson rune but it rolls an alabaster so I wipe for 10g (or whatever) it becomes an alabaster again, damn, another 10g to the enchanter, damn, gold, close but still not crimson, another 10g, alabaster again, wtf? 10g again, I NEED A DAMN CRIMSON.. I know its not that common, but there are 5 runes and there is a 20% of getting what you want each 'attunement' and sometimes it can be frustrating and costly. If it doesn't cost anything to unattune then that would be great and it would probably work out in my favor.
And you might say 'well, nox you can say the same thing about drop rates, you might need a crimson but the monsters keeping dropping golds and obsidians'. and that's true but 1- they might make certain monsters have a higher chance of dropping certain rune colors so you can specifically farm those guys, if not 2- having that rune in your hand and not having it turn into that crimson is A LOT more frustrating than just not finding one, having something so close yet so far is worse than not having it at all. but like I said, if its free or really cheap it might work out better as I won't have to search for one of every color and just reattune that one rune and just hope it what I want when I want it.
But my final words are REALLY not looking forward to the unattuned runes and though I find that random stat affixes will only drive people nuts finding the 'perfect' rune.
PS on a side note just realized that if they add both new features I hope a reattuning doesn't remove both the stat affix along with the rune type, say I get a perfect affix but the wrong rune I can just reattune just hoping for the correct rune type instead of shooting for a correct affix AS WELL (like I said there is a 20% of getting a correct rune which is something manageable when playing the slots but if they have MINIMUM 5 affixes that's another 20% so its 20% for the rune type AND 20% on the rune affix so that can become a real hell, and the number of affixes are more than that making it a lot harder to 'randomly' get that exact rune type AND affix). If anyone talks on the official forum can they please ask this question for me? Thanks -

NoxioussGaz posted a message on Twentieth Batch of Screenshots and ArtI just think this was a publicity stunt, they did not hear our complaints nor care. They intentionally released a batch of rehashed pics knowing the fans would be pissed and than released this one so that 1) we, the fans would think that they are listening to us and 2) we would appreciate this picture so much more after receiving the last four.Posted in: News

NoxioussGaz posted a message on Diablo Lore Series Part 1Wow, awesome. But as I played D2 a long time ago as a kid I really do not know much about Diablo in terms of lore.Posted in: News
It was mentioned in the beginning that there has been a battle between angels and demons since the beginning of time yet we don't know why, so technically we don't know who is REALLY the good guys or even the right side, for all we know it is the demons and hell who has been wronged in some way. Nor do we know what the winning side (if in deed there ever will be one) plans to do after the victory. Other than throw a party over the enemies corpses. Will they take over the opposing world? Enslavement? etc?
Also I remember that Lilith was fought in D2 (I think) but from the video, clearly she seems like a good character, she even seems more beneficial to humanity than her lover (forgot the angels name, Anerius?)
Also, it says that each side tried to coerce humanity into joining their own side yet each seemed to oppress humanity in their own way, demons through brutality and angels through harsh order and such (if I heard the video correctly), so why would humanity want to join either side? Neither sound like a good choice, the whole time your looking helping out the angels but are they really in our best interests? (Also relating to my first question).
Also not really a question but I thought it's interesting that I think nephalim might have came from a hebrew word nophal (or nephal) which means to fall or fell, and in this sense would mean The Fallen, not sure if blizzard knew that, though they probably did

NoxioussGaz posted a message on The Follower BluesHonestly, in my opinion I don't see a problem with this other than it is only useful for normal.Posted in: News
I don't think it is necessary for mp because it does what multiplayer does in sp mode, gives a friend to help you out. If anything I prefer to use mp anyway, usually player controlled characters are just plain better than NPCs anyway (think of the difficulty difference between PvP and PvE in any game).
And just for those times when I'm not online or not in the mood to be online (or with other people) I can still have a 'co-op' function and still help me out in the game. So technically they just made it a mp game even in sp, and if you don't want the extra help I am sure you can just not hire the follower.
Though the biggest issue is it not being useful in later difficulties, from a developing standpoint it would be wasteful on creating a whole mechanic that would be trashed soon after and from a playing standpoint just when the going gets tough and extra help would actually be useful my help just dies.... -

We actually got an exclusive confirmation on the items qualities and colors during diablocast ep. 5 which I have updated on our wiki here: http://www.diablowiki.com/Items_(Diablo_III)#Item_Quality
By Socket, there is a typo, it should say 'no' longer.. instead of longer, tried to edit it myself but don't see how. -

NoxioussGaz posted a message on Where's Beta?Scyber, being that you're so tight with Bash and he keeps answering you, and you said that the DH resource is being finished can you ask, or do you know if the other classes are 100% complete and if we can get ANY info on those? Also did they mention any resource globes and how and if they will be implemented?Posted in: News

Here on diablofans you get the news at first. Thanks for the passion and patience guys. I like reading new stuff from you!
I am really looking forward to the beginning of may. Hopefully they will announce the beta date. And I like the approach of Blizzard to hide all interesting stuff from us before releasing the game finally.
And if there is something about the facebook thing, we will know after ~175000 LIKES.

This website is going to drive me crazy.....
A metaphor perhaps....
So this girl says she wants to have sex with you, but you have to wait, and god will you, because she is what you have always wanted.
Years pass, and she is still stringing you along, but you know when you finally get it, it will be worth it.
In the time thats passed, she constantly is teasing you, a dirty text message here and there, and once you start losing hope, I naughty picture comes your way! OK WERE BACK IN BUSINESS!
But still, nothing, just the teasing, and occasional visual to keep you leashed.
It's been 10 years now, and the teasing has become more consistent, more often, and promises of the day soon.....
BUT WHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????
During times like these, you often hit the bar, swallow your pride, and go for the average because it will hold you over for now. But damnit Blizzard! Lose the Chastity belt and let her free!!!!
Were talking about video games by the way......
nice methapor of the wait of Diablo III :sweat:
You said information = girl is teasing you, final game = you having ... with her but what about the beta...something between?
Foreplay/make out session + a bit more than that but no sex? -

Also what did Jay mean by it will be an 'unattuned' rune? That it won't become an 'alabaster' rune till after I equip it to something and I won't know what it will turn into till afterwards? So I can get 20 runes but if I need an obsidian but they turn to alabaster to crimson to everything else but obsidian (and don't forget the stat buff as well) then things will get really crappy...

Isn't that exactly the Barbarians resource system?
Also, in regards to exploiting infinite resource systems, (I know you don't want to hear any comparisons) but in Wow, a warrior could run through a crowd of mobs (the more the better as he would get more hits onto him) and all those hits onto him (as just the actual strike builds up rage, not damage, so it wouldn't matter if it was 100 weak mobs hitting for one 1hp but the fact that the war just received 100 hits)would build up his rage near infinitely, if the mobs were any stronger any healer can just toss some heals to keep up his hp but he would still have all that rage- I remember I would Offtank multiple mobs and when doing so I can spam skills to my hearts content because of my unlimited rage.
I know that Diablo differs than warcraft 100% and that there is no 'tank' nor 'healing' class but with high enough defense and - doesn't the monk have a healing spell- healing spells used properly, he would have some prolonged resource that can be exploited...

Bar has the cliched anger/rage resource - gets hit or lands hits nets him some rage points which he can spend for greater attacks. out of battle, decay. not comparing to mock or say anything, but just asking whether this is similar to the WoW warrior resource?
Wizard starts at full and keeps replenishing after a short period of time- almost instantly. is this like the Wow Rogue?
Monk takes in and deals damage to accrue essence to use higher skills. except it doesn't decay like barb and he has the combo system. so wouldn't this be a but like the Wow War - rage and the rogues combo system hybrid? not so bad..
Witch doctor got mana, pretty self explanatory
Demon Hunter, nothing really solid except that she has hate & discipline, Im assuming ones more for spammable type skills and one for more longer CD ones or at least lesser used ones (a player would more likely spam fan of knives or molten arrow that say a trap).
I can think of a quiver (or magazine for you modern folks) type bar. say hold 10 arrows/bolts/rounds and each skill in the more spammable tree would consume said amount but when it is depleted they hunter goes on a little 'reload' pause (obviously not the length it would take to reload a real crossbow, it can be .5 sec or 1 sec or even 5, idc, just an idea.
than he would have the quiver to full. so like grenade costs 1 'bolt', fan of knives are 3, and molten arrows are 5. so he could cast Grenade, FoK, MA, Grenade than wait 1 second, reload, and continue.. just an idea I've had, even when we were speculating resources for the wizard.
as for the other resource the DH would have, I really don't know, maybe something like the death knight and his rune stones? he has a set amount and that's the type of trap you can set out but it changes based on different things you do.
Anything that I got wrong and needs to be cleared up? or just any more speculation? (whatcha think of my reload mech? not talking about balance though, I know a specific time is needed to prevent it from being OP or UP, just talking about the concept of it)
