""a. What do you do to the waypoint interface? Does it just show up without a specific name or does it change name based off its current location.
B. It would be very disorienting when portaling to an area that has changed. Where do I go from here?""
A. True, one aspect I missed.
B. You wouldnt portal to an area you didnt know, because youd FIND it, knowing where you are, and in the next game, its gone untill you find the replacement. Erasing the "TEMPORARY" ones each new game stops from bolting into an unfamiliar area.

And if the size doesnt change, then your actually right. I assumed the size could be random aswell.

And Hans, that IS the point. They basically want to turn WPs into TPs by making them frequent. They think they remove TPs, and supplement WPs. It IS the idea. We dont know why they dont want TPs, but there frequenting WPs.

And Scyber again, where did they say that? around 5 dungeon levels, did I just miss that, because that doesnt sound famillar at all. They said they WANTED frequent(er) WPs because they wanted to remove TPs, the supplement is the NEED of more frequent wp

the word floating comes form meaining there would be a waypoint in the area, but not same spot because it was randomized. Like floating ribs... there there but arent connected to one spot.

I dont see reprocussions, i think it wouldnt be so difficult, it would be like an on/off switch. turning on a temporary WP just sets it to turn off when you leave the game, its as easy as doing away with the current map when you leave. Just a waypoint that changes pending on quest randomizing.

And what i was saying about just puting a real WP before the randomized area, is that its random. it could be bigger, smaller, longer, the shape cxould change id believe. what ifd you just gegt one of th larger randomized areas and its longer distance than how reg. WPs are placed. idk.. maybe it was just a "floating thought" lol.

and yes, they said to ballance the lack of town portals, Way Points would be more frequent for players. Like i said, if we havbe no portals to emergency heal when we cant fight for health orbs, or when our packs are full and we just need everything we have AND the item on the ground, they NEED to be more frequent if we completly lose TP

yea looking at the back it kinda does look like it trails into a elongated body... Well take it from the waste up! Lol, yea blizz will probably blow it out of the water, weel just have to wait and see, hopefully weel atleast see one of them by or at next blizzcon

If that image i made works, heres what im talking about. Say the BIG square is the size of a huge area, say an equivelent of 2-3 cold Plains. Blazzard has stated MORE FREQUENT WPs, so lets say for arguments hope that that means 2 WPs PER an area the size of ONE Cold Plains. That means for the above area of 2-3 the size of coldplains there should be 4-6 waypoints, this is a huge area were talking about.

Were saying the * marks a regular waypoint, and the small square within the square, is the section of map that changes every new game. Thats about the size of 1/2-3/4 of the cold plains meaning that there should be atleast 1 waypoint in that area for that side-quest, BUT THE LAND CHANGES every time.

So yes, I get what you mean about the waypoint staying and your just entering a land you never seen before each new game, but that isnt the point of waypoints, its where u HAVE been before. Not havent. So wouldnt it be easy to say that waypoint 3 just dissappears when you exit the game untill you find it in the next random area inside the box? All it is is basicscally a temporary(floating) waypoint.
-----------------------------------------------------
*&#^&@*^ nvm it doesnt save the image, thats BS. Maybe ill design a map and post it later, ignore this post if you dont understand it, it fkd my map.

No, i mean couldnt it be a possibility that JUST the waypoints for the parts of the maps that change every game, would last game only. So if you get a random generated section of map, the waypoint for that section lasts for the whole SPECIFIC GAME, then when everyone leaves it and it expires, you dont have that one waypoint anymore because it wont be the sameplace next game, itll be a different random map

I dont mean, OMG its floating? Go-GO Barbarian LEAP!

In all seriousness, do you think we will be having floating waypoints?
And what I mean is this: Blizzard has revelaed there will constantly be chunks and pieces taken away and replaced by different things, even SOME sections BUG ENOUGH TO COMPLETELY RESULT IN EVER-DIFFERENT SIDE-QUESTS!

This being the case, say you ran into one of those larger chunks that changes to allow a pretty decently sized side-quest come your way. Well since waypoints are supposed to be so more frequent to avoid TP need, will there be Waypoints in the areas that are ever-changing?

We say YES because if it was anything to the contrary, we would need those TPs that have been discontinued. We would need the way to go to town and where we need to for that, otherwise, honestly we would be screwed. And if were having a checkpoint system, that keeps us in the area with checkpoints linked there, why cant we have Waypoints linked there to bring us to town and around. Now think of D2. Everytime we left a game in D2, our maps dissappeared. YES we kept our waypoints, but the maps reset. Well tell me then why we cant have WPs that last the duration of the game for these Floating Areas?

We say NO because, what would happen when you try to return there? That section changes everygame for an endless(per-say) array of randomness and entertainment inside the game. No, because you cant go to a place that isnt there anymore. You cant say maybe, like "What if those waypointss are inactive unless that plot of land and quest comes by again?" No. Because blizzard wants MASSIVE customization to keep Diablo III Running longer than D2 ever could hope to be.

So we say YES, and we say NO. What do you think? Discuss.

Thats the one I liked from the original post. He does look pretty wicked, and for being the "Lord of Sin" I think I could say a look like that one, looks like SIN!

Maybe maybe not, arent there a bunch of possible bosses we have revealed? Mistress of Pain? Tyreal corrupted(and we have d3 tyreal images), Angel Inarius? I think there still working or done and want to be sure they wont change it, they want them to be the most bad-ass demons they can be! (Now I hear it, **Azmodan singing to Belial** Any look you can pull, I can pull better, I can Pull any look better than you! **NO YOU CANT ** YES I CAN!) LMAO

Thats good to know, and i figured as much because of the quality of the image. The thing is, the reason I myself believe they dont give us alot as to their image, is because even that is subject to change. I think almost everything but the classes AFTER being revealed, is subject to change. I mean, cmmon, what happened when we say the "Confirmed Blizzard Pictures of Ureh"? Everyone went crazy and we were all happy.

What if they posted "THIS IS BELIAL AND AZMODAN" and then decided to go on a different look? Weed all be let down or upset, Ureh all over.

we understand but the image didnt come with the Azmodan writing on it, that was added im pretty sure, so we arent 100% sure which it is, its just in azmodans because of the added writing.

yea. im sure alot of ppl think that right now, its our most diablo-esque and developed looking.

Only umpa huh? lol, were too masculine to make such an accusation! So whats your opinion on how belial will be?

I didnt mean fanart, i meant another member sent me the picture because i missed it. He said he found the images on sites online claiming azmodan, like i said, these are just image results. as for the second one, i havent heard anything about that, and its small, but ill go check it out. any help with links incase i cant find it?

and then, what about you anyway Dauroth, what do you think he may look like?

UPDATE: Or what about these? These are an interpretation of what Belial could be fron our very own NAJ!

I just said that in the amozdan thread lol. I gave the example for greed fight lol, go check it out (as if u havent already ) And btw just saw ur new av. ScyberDragon, nice.

And that would be cool for belial, taking on your image to lie to others and make everyone shun you, and your final quest with him is the epical fight with youself lol.
