I love all loot fest kind of game! I will be playing all of them for the next few years. Loot fest games I'm looking forward to: LotR: War in the North,Torchlight 2,Borderlands 2 and of course Diablo 3.
That is very interesting. Not sure how I feel about that... though in all honesty, identifying blue items loses its intrigue after the first few acts so it is a better decision in the long run.
I like the fact that you don't have to identify blue items, identifying blue items was just fun the first 15 levels or so on your first character in diablo 2, after that it became an annoyance in my opinion.
Yeah though most of the info in it is already known, it is indeed the first time I have seen this interview. It just makes me even more happy with how they are going about this. I love that they know the action is in ...well playing the game.. its why we bought the game, not to stand around town.
What I really love is his comment on identifying items. I 100% agree, I find doing that to be part of the fun. its like seeing loot drops twice in a way. But I 100% agree that just haven it done on the "rarer" items fits perfectly.
Now it is clear that only rare, legendary items & most likely set items needs to be identified by Cain.
For your information, I believe set items aren't a distinct type anymore. They'll be legendary items that provide additional bonuses when worn together.
On topic : has anyone heard anything about Scrolls of Identification recently? Still in the game? Out? Replaced by a relic like the Scrolls of Town Portal? I don't think they have another relic release in store for us, since we've seen the UI and Bashiok seemed to say they don't have any more system releases before the beta.
However, since we won't have to identify magic (blue) items anymore, the need for portable i.d. scrolls is dramatically reduced... I don't think they'd scrap them altogether, and I believe they wouldn't make going to Cain the only option. That'd be against their philosophy for implementing the relics : I've heard in an interview that they wanted trips to town to be less frequent, and for better reasons than just emptying your inventory. They want them to be significant, like turning quests in, or enchanting your gear, etc.
So, what d'you guys think? Scrolls still in?

My Wizard build inspired by Mario Kart items 3 Green Shells / Bananas / Red shell / Lightning Bolt / Fake Item Box / Blue Shell
Im pretty sure they said cain no longer identifies items. I could be losing me mind of course.. but I think they said he retired from that in one of the videos.

Now that you mention, I do remember something like that. Perhaps Leah will be doing it now? Sort of rings a bell, but this isn't recent info, could have been during a Blizzcon panel, maybe even Q&A. Meh, we'll know soon enough!

-The Mystic is responsible for enchants. Enchants add special bonuses to items. She also creates and sells staves and other magical supplies. The Mystic also identifies items for the player - Deckard Cain has retired the identifying business.

Magical items are now like ordinary stuff, you can break down into crafting components that you'll need.
.
My PvP build would be different from these 13.
