Hi I have a question I really want answered but I don't know the best way to get it to Bashiok without having a WoW account, which I don't. I guess if someone else would post my question for me int he wow forums that would work but is there another way?
My question is basically will rare items be good again? I absolutely loved Diablo 2 and the expansion but the only thing I really hated about the expansion was that it made rare items worthless. I was wondering if they would make D3 so you could get some really good rare items (pre exp the dual leech rings, +2 pris ammys, resits ias str/dex gloves etc). I really want them to bring this back and I think the biggest problem with the expansion in killing rares was the exclusion of the top attributes from the random generation. If they could just keep those in but make them much rarer than the lower level attributes it would give me the excitement back I had in D2 pre expansion every time I saw a yellow item drop. A few rares were decent in the expansion (jewelry mostly) but weapons were worthless since they could only get 200%ED whereas magic could get cruel for the full 300%. I think bringing back top level attributes to rares would greatly benefit this game and make it so it doesn't end up with nothing but cookie cutter characters like they have in D2 exp. I would love if you could get EXTREMELY rare combination of attributes that would make them as powerful or nearly as powerful as some of the top unique items.
I just want to see yellow items again and not think just about its sale value to vendors.
yes I realize I messed up the title with extra words. This is what happens when you proofread then edit and don't proofread again.
Glad you agree, I assume someone will say they think it will make rares too powerful but if you adjust the % something top level comes up to be really low you could have some very very rare powerful items, and isn't finding that kind of stuff what this game is all about? As you could guess from my rare lust I am extremely happy to here they got rid of rune words. Id rather have one badass rare that is unique(Websters definition) over another unique(diablo definition) item that everyone else has.
I still find it funny that in this game the uniques are rare and the rares are unique.
Agreed. Rare should have the possibility to be a lot better then uniques. Not all of them, but only like LAST BOSS in WORST difficulty could drop rare with those crazy stats.
Can anyone mention it on the forums for me? Like I said I don't have a WoW account. You don't have to direct it at him per say, just do whatever you think would get him most likely to answer. This is by far the question i want answered the most because it bugged me the most. I know it is strange since most people want to know new classes and stuff but I just want good rares again.
@Ivaron: I didn't say rares will be better than uniques, just that they should be able to be better. Id say maybe even less than 1% of rares would be better than the unique of the same item but it should be possible to generate some great random rares which could also allow for some very unique builds. I just don't want to go in town anymore and be able to name everything everyone is wearing just by looking at them because they all use the same few items.
Rares are much more unique than uniques in D2.. I still play classic and most people there use rares and some classes might have a few uniques as well that offer some special stats for the slots that rares can't offer.

but yea, i also think having rares to be the best items in the game a cool idea

In my eyes Rares should be able to get the best Mods and the most mods.
Uniques on the other hand should be aimed at certain builds and the looks of them should set them apart from other items.
It's been said tho. that he doesn't answer to questions directed at him.
