<--- old D2 gamer, played Diablo from the day the first came out. i'm also studying at a university here in Sweden to become a game designer.
_Thoughts_:
Scroll of identify gone
Seems like a good idea, as there really was no reason to keep it there anyway, its just something you collect to use later and thats it. BUT i'm quite skeptical about the whole idea of "cast time" to identity
moving button 5 for pots
guess its a good idea, but it now seems kinda awkward where it is
stone of recall gone
well ofc, why does it have to be a "stone", a button like this seems quite fair. (but maybe change placement+the looks of it)
mystic gone
well ofc, there never was enchantments to items in d2 and why would there be? its just another free socket to add something in.
Cauldron and cube gone.
VERY awsome, one might consider this making it more of a pain in doungeons now, but getting back to town is somthing that i really liked in d2.
when you are fighitng around for a good 15 min whit a friend and you find your inv full of stuff, its a good breather to go back to town and sell/buy/do stuff/look at stats and gear...
me like!
white items cant be salvaged
good, let there be crap. so that one don't HAVE to pick up EVERYTHING and salvage EVERYTHING.
Defense, Attack, and Precision gone! Back is: Strength, Dexterity, Intellect, and Vitality
Awesome! it feels more like Diablo now and the stats make more sense. one problem can be that a player like me (barbarian for life...) will only get items whit STR and VIT, making them my only useful stats (like a Warrior Tank in WOW only values stamina->str->parry->mastery->dodge) and everything else where kinda useless.
this is something we cant answer now and can only be answer later game once the game is out.
character stats directly on the inventory UI
Perfect, as you usualy look at stats and gear at the same time anyway its just a streamlined work-around that works perfect.
if i ware blizzard i would have take the chance to move stats to the right side of the equipped items and still having the more exact statistics on the same place. it just would feel better
----------------------------
There’s a lot of work left to be done, though.
does not make me feel good. but i'm looking forward to the skill/rune changes
----------------------------
and thats my thoughts... in short i like these changes and support them 100%!
