He said "very soon, like real soon" or something along these lines. I would be surprised if he havent meant this week.
I have the diablo 3 forums bookmarked, and the icon used to be some sort of wrench, and once I clicked it to see the error for the first time, it changed to a helmet. Clearly they had to physically change that and not just for maintenance.
I've heard some griping over the length of the beta's content. However, my hopes are that the short length will in turn mean a shorter beta testing period and a sooner release date :D.
I don't think there was any clear cut news about it, but its been over 10 years since Diablo 2 was released. They will have better detection methods, but even in WoW to this day there are tons of gold spammer still. So I'd say it will inevitably happen but (hopefully) try to be quelled.
Wow sorry for not adding the still buying the game. I was just nerd raging too hard lol. The beta is not even out, so a lot can be changed. So on a related note....do you think they will let people put real money onto their accounts, for characters that will eventually be deleted once the game is actually released?
They are completely ruining the Diablo series in my opinion. Real Money Austion House, Skill Point as I understand it removed (correct me if I am misled regarding this), Forced online play. Absolutely pathetic.
I agree with you on everything except for the forced online play. I have no clue how much of the D2 population actually did offline mode only. People could just make a password enabled game (if game creation works like D2) to bypass that. But then again it defeats the purpose of not needing internet. The only thing I agree with, which I don't think was from the new news, was the auto stat allocation. The auction house was a good idea, because in D2 gold became completely useless. But sadly they added the currency one...awesome. RIP D3
Completely annihilated re-playability. You'll make a class that can never be different, never be unique, you have no control. I was okay with automatic stat allocation, but skill points cease to exist now? Every wizard will be the same.. this means every wizard will probably use the same fucking combo, same with every other class.
I completely agree. I loved how a Necromancer could either be great at summoning a ton of minions, or be great at poison damage, etc. Now the only differences in characters will be the amount of damage they deal based on gear, which can be bought for real money.....it was going to be a big game release until now, way to go D3 ;_;
