The conclusion was that some sort of inspect feature that can be toggled on/off.
It all depends on if you want others to see your gear or not. I personally like my privacy and having an inspect feature can reduce replay ability due to ‘best builds’ being easily identified through such a feature.
Item database is ok.
Armoury like WOW = no character privacy (please god don’t let there be an armoury)
Im not sure if anyone asked this already but,
If beta is going to be out well into Blizzcon, whats something we can really look forward to during Blizzcon?
Please pick my question, latin american players will be very pleased with diablofans if you do that !!!
1: Will Blizzard also offer an english version (or a language pack) for the latin american version of Diablo 3? A large portion of LA players dislike translations/dubbings, forcing us to play in the US realms instead of the Latin American one. PS: Cain's voice is irreplaceable.
Some pretty interesting questions here. So, yeah I will probably end up asking a question that has somehow found a way past my research on Diablo 3, but alas here they are anyways!
My questions are mainly related to the armor and weapons within the loot system:
1.) When a player decides to dye an item, what if they decide to drop that item or give it to a friend or ally, will the dye remain on that item when transferred to said person?
2.) It has been noted that there will be 18 different tiers of armor, does this apply to weapons also? If so, will these tiers be distributed between weapon types? Like an axe.. will there be 18 different looks for one axe, or are there no specific restrictions and they are simply being distributed as their "own" item?
3.) Along with the statement of the 18 tiers of armor, I saw that they would be distributed throughout Norm, Night, Hell, having a set amount of the tiers drop in each act. I'm curious, are these armors stronger and better looking with the higher tier that you obtain? Ex: I obtain a helmet from the 16th tier, and later I recieve a helmet from the 18th tier. Does this ensure that it will look better and be stronger? Or are these tier numbers non-applicable towards stats/looks?
The last question I have pertains to using Battle.net 2.0.. With the new battle.net system coming out I'm wondering if there will be some type of "Punk Buster" in place, you know like if a person lags too much they will be booted from a game? I personally get occasional lag spikes from my internet (It's not the best, but it's all I can get.) and I know I would be very annoyed if majority of the time I keep getting booted from games while in the middle of one.. (This would be especially annoying if I had just killed a boss and in the middle of trying to get my loot, I get booted. :o) I'm sure other people don't have the greatest internet also, so this problem would probably be a rising one if something of the sort was put into play.
That's really all I have for now, but congrats Sixen, I hope you enjoy yourself and make sure you get all the news you can for us!
Would it be possible for me (Lt. Venom) to do an email interview of somebody at Blizzard about all the different personalities found in the world of Sanctuary?
Possible questions I would ask are:
What is Cain's favorite drink?
Is it possible that Charsi might be a lesbian?
Did Akara and Cain ever get it on?
When we open the five seals to reveal Diablo, where was he initially?
Is the wizard rather snobbish towards others?
Do the Demon Hunters listen to heavy metal during their off time?
And much much more...

Since you are going to be interviewing some developers I think it would be interesting to ask them how the journey of developing Diablo 3 has been for them.
What has been your highlight of the development process so far?
What is your favourite thing about working on Diablo 3?
1.When will more info on the Demon Hunter be revealed?
2.Are there going to be multiple branches in D3 like D2, like the Fire/Lightning/Ice sorceress from D2 or the Bone/Summon Necro, or are all moves being included in one single branch and you choose from there?
Got questions on Battle.net or the D3 Beta? Ask here to possibly have them answered at the D3 Press Event!
So i've been keeping an eye on class specific gear and noticed the Wizard uses Magic Orbs instead of shields. My question is ''Considering the Necromancer's Shrunken Head shields better suit the Witch Doctor will they make a return as a class specific shield?''
i don't really know if this is a question for you or for you to ask while your doing this thing but since your under NDA until august 1 before you can spill the beans. does that mean ALL the systems won't be announced until august 1st? meaning until they are all announced we won't see beta until after august 1st at the very earliest?

I have been expecting some kind of news along these lines, though I admit I was hoping/expecting a Beta announcement for July. I guess this isn't an announcement, but it's pretty damn close. I think this is the same thing that happened with Starcraft II; Beta press event first, public announcement shortly after... I have at least a couple questions.
1) What's the news on a Collectors Edition? Is there going to be one and is there any kind of in-game recognition of ownership (such as alternative Thor skin in SC2)?
2) Will there be an achievement system similar to Starcraft II?
3) Has some kind of player-to-player trade system been setup yet?
I could think of more, but I gotta stop thinking about the beta (hopefully) being less than 2 months away or I'll never sleep.
Have fun Sixen, you lucky (insert jealous expletive here)! Like virtually everyone else reading here, I hope I get into the Beta (sooner than later).
Oh yes, and this is almost certainly a Sign of Beta.

i was wondering if you can ask what the DH resource system will be? dont you agree? lol mana perhapss...
I was wondering if people could google their questions before posting here?
There were a few interview tidbits already pertaining to the demon hunter resource (a dual resource system of 'discipline' for traps and tricks and 'hatred' for ranged attacks and movement skills) but obviously nothing final yet - Blizzard might change things up at the last minute if it betters the game.
As for my question(s):
I wonder if it would be possible to ask the team about whether there have been any thoughts on how to handle the collector's edition. Specifically, say I want to buy the collector's edition directly from the Blizzard store... would it then be possible to play the game before the box and assorted goodies physically arrived at my door via download (as the game would already be tied to my battle.net account)?
Also, I know it's not that popular a topic but I'm curious:
How much new audio was recorded for Diablo 3 (excluding voice acting)? I sometimes re-watch the trailers and gameplay demos and notice sounds that sound very similar to things from the previous games (for example, the sound of the bow shooting). How much ear candy can we expect in terms of unique skill sounds and music?
Thanks!

I made a thread that asked the question about "seeing another players gear".
Seeing Another Players gear
It had a lot of debate!!!

When is beta coming?
When will D3 be released?
I would also like to know how they plan to remove runestones from the game? (since they don't get destroyed by removal from a skill)

can we expect skills or abilities not otherwise obtained trough traditional means? IE: leveling.
How much lore, if any at all, will be used or recognised from the diablo novels?
Could be rabbit, could be.
I'd like to know what anyone would do without those constraints.....
Auction houses ????? global trade system ????? is there going to be any effort to stop item sales for real money ???
1. Will Legendary items (weapons & armor pieces) each have their own unique look?
