i posted this podcast in a diff thread yesterday, but at thispoint i dont care
even game magazines dont care anymore, my cousin works for a game magazine in the states, she says that nearly all of the gaming mags and online game mags views D3 becoming a joke
her mag has already made its mind up on D3, when it is finally released she told me that her mag will not give it favourable review cos of the sheer delay on it, infact there will be a article on about taking advantage of coustomers next month
so ye dont care
But you care enough to post 1000000 post a day on these forums. Yeah, you're gonna buy it anyway.
I have to agree, I think they will stay drops, just feels cooler. Also, don't some recipes require dust of rune stones? That would give a sink for the low level, high dropping ones.
Not anymore, all the recipes have changed, none require rune dust.
If hoarding runes is a problem due to inventory space, why aren't gems an issue?
you need low level gems to make high level ones, by combining. It's an item sink that makes you hoarde them until you need them then theyll all go away and just take up one slot, plus you could just make gems stackable. Same with runes really I don't see why they'd have to change them from being an item really.
Yep. It was just a bit of sarcasm on my part. What you said is what i meant.
dont call me a throll, im just stating what game sites and mags are already saying!!!!
That's nice, evidence?
hahahaha, thats what i love about the internet, people demand you show them EVIDENCE!
well no i will not, go look for youself, go to IGN and look for yourself, dont reply to any of my comments again thankyou
K troll, go disprove to me that DIablo 3 is the greatest game eva and blizzard refuses to release because they are actually attempting to kill gamers with excitement and summon Diablo with their souls.
Oh you can't THAT MUST MEAN IT'S TRUE HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
PS: People tend to demand evidence when you make a claim, it's all part of that whole thing were you know, you can't make shit up.
I'm loling with the commentaries. No i'ts not Diablo. Blizzard isn't realising Diablo because the other part is loyal to Warcraft ad wants too summon Lich King, this will result in an epic battle!
I like the current system and hope it doesn't change too much. Having different runestone levels dropping in their respective difficulties (Level 1-2 normal, 3-4 Hell, and Level 5 inferno) makes the more sense to me than other suggestions/interpretations in this thread. Then again, Blizzard has introduced some changes out of left field before and I've warmed up to them. Looking forward to the next unveil re: runestones. =]

hahahaha, thats what I love about the internet, people make claims about something then attempt to convince others it is true, but then when asked for evidence they shout, "LOOK IT UP YOURSELF YOU LAZY FUCK! I may be trying to convince you guys what I'm saying is factual BUT I AM NOT GOING TO PROVIDE ANY SOURCES!" Don't make any threads on diablofans again thankyou
I would expect that in typical Diablo III design iteration, they will decide that rune abilities are gathered automatically when you level and all runes are available through a skill like inscription by level 30 or so. Just water the game down even more.
If we let them continue they may decide that all loot drops are removed except for set items, uniques and crafting materials since "that's all people want to use anyway and it will make itemization and balancing of classes and boss fights richer and deeper"

Some people have really grinded you about what you said, and I will agree with them.
Your cousin's magazine seems really unprofessional and honestly I don't see how they can be any good at what they do. You know, not everyone has been following Diablo 3 religiously, and many people who haven't played D2 may give D3 a go.
Most people don't even know about the delays and may decide to play it, but wait for reviews to make their final choice and it's up to reviewers to give them a fair, unbiased view of the game. So just because your cousin's sad magazine waited a long time and is now throwing a tantrum, they've decided to slander the game and chase potential players away. Very childish. And they won't be doing their job decently, in fact, they won't be doing their jobs at all. They are supposed to give a fair score for the entire player base (be it hardcore or casual), they must tell the truth of the matter to all prospective players, but obviously they will rather choose to pursue an agenda, which is just pathetic.
How will they even accomplish their idiotic goal. Let's say the game comes out and it's brilliant, how do they plan on scoring it?
Graphics: 7 - Overall the graphics are decent, albeit somewhat dated. Still it delivers a crisp, gritty vibe that suits the game.
Sound: 8 - The music score coupled with the constant sounds of hordes being slayed sets the mood and accomplishes its goal perfectly.
Gameplay: 9 - The game runs as smooth as a dream. The controls are responsive and the interface is simple and well layed out. The entire gameplay experience acts like a well oiled machine built to send your senses tingling with excitement for hours without end.
Story: 7 - A great start to the conclusion of the Diablo mythos that has spanned more than a decade. But of course it's not quite finished yet...
Replayability: 10 - With thousands of items to collect, five unique classes each with hundreds of rune combinations to enjoy, co-op play, randomized dungeons, and Inferno that keeps the challenge fresh, Diablo 3 will keep your fingers clicking until the inevitable expansion arrives.
Overall: 4 - Diablo 3 is a brilliant gaming experience. However, because the game was delayed a few months and just because we are sad, impetuous babies, sadly we can't recommend this game to anyone. Since Blizzard ruined the game for us, we now refuse to play it, and we highly recommend you to throw a hissy fit along with us. Taste failure Blizzard!
Honestly I don't see this happening. It's just too much work to be done this late in development, they're already hard pressed to get this game out by cutting systems completely. No way they'll completely revamp the runesystem, i think. That said. I'm pretty sure item runewords are not coming back. It would cause too much confusion. They've even stated Runes will only be used for skills. So that's out of the question. As for the concept I think it's a terrible Idea. The reason they removed as much shared stash as they did was because there was too much item hoarding, they cut it back so you could item hoarde just not as much, so if you wanna sit and hoarde runes, then they're going to let you do that, whereas if I want to sit and hoarde short sword of the bear, I can sure as hell do that. By the logic in this theory, nothing should be an item anymore and everything should be a scroll to use, because If I want I can just go and hoarde Tyrael's might 500 times, and well I created an over abundance so now blizzard has to make it so tyraels might is just a scroll that will become an item once used and I can never take it off anymore. Level 7 runes won't be a cake walk to find just like Tyraels might won't be, the low level runes are supposed to be dropping like candy they want people to try the skills, it's the point of them. just like they'll probably drop a short sword of the bear or whatever affix you want hundreds of times. Just because there is an over abundance of a shit item doesn't mean they should remove them from being items, In fact they just recently ADDED more useless items to the pool so it makes finding those Blues and yellows rewarding.
I have to agree, I think they will stay drops, just feels cooler. Also, don't some recipes require dust of rune stones? That would give a sink for the low level, high dropping ones.
There's a strong possibility that Blizzard has already completely revamped the rune system.
From another thread:
This is obviously NOT proof that the rune system has been completely overhauled, but there have been enough changes to the rune and skill system to warrant a news post about the two.
The rune system was implemented to bring back some of the random skill progression elements of D1, and combine that with the player controlled system of D2. Making runes a non-item is a pretty major alteration to that original purpose, though I really couldn't say if it would be an improvement or if it would make the skill system worse.
As I am somewhere in the camp of people who wish the skill system created a bit more of a feeling of commitment to certain skills, I am not completely ecstatic in regards to the current system. I guess I'm pretty interested to see what they do next.

Sorry bro. But doesn't have the same link, doesn't it?

S-Y-stem.
Sry.. that was really bugging me.. it's spelled "System".
Doomwolf (Male Demon Hunter)
Kainé (Female Monk) - Nier Reference
only reason i checked this thread was to see if someone would correct that. lmao
That made me laugh.
I had to scroll up to check the spelling of the word
in all seriousness though, I really don't think we'd need that much runes as long as we can recover the runes that are already applied to a skill.
