Actually blizzard was the first to introduce me to this thing (though here).

1) Why not (just like the blue tracker) put a twitter tracker on the top of the page that highlights the latest 3 things on that twitter.
You know those important things. I guess we could have some guy pick the important things out and post them as twitter tracker rather then the abomination we have in our forums now (It's better to just go to twitter as it's much better.)

2) Why not make the homepage interface of this site editable. Pretty much like google does. So you can reposition things. Add or remove elements etc.
If you might consider something like this I can think of more then enough tabs to put in there. xD ]]> Site Suggestions and Questions Airandius http://www.diablofans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23478 Diablo: The skill system revision is in full force.

Would you go to single or multiplayer?
Will you place emphasis on grabbing a heap of characters to have the names you want before they're stolen?
Normal or hardcore?
Ladder or non-ladder?
Will your join or create your first game?

Of course we might have different varieties for the character options in D3, but lets just go with what D2 had. I know I for one will start with hardcore even though I'm not a hardcore lover. I just want the feel of being in fear of the unknown, and what's more unknown than not even knowing how the mechanics of the game work? Definitely multiplayer for me, and non-ladder as I'm expecting more players in there. And I'll be joining a game to quickly take a peek at the mad freaks and wonder how the fuck they can reach level 20+ when I waited outside the store the night of release and got home asap to start playing... ]]> Diablo 3 General Discussion Puttah http://www.diablofans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23470 Community Spotlight - Community Suggestions http://www.diablofans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23469&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:25:09 GMT In case you're not up to speed, we're now releasing bi-weekly Community Spotlight Articles, the first of which was released last Sunday.

Thus far, we've included threads that have garnered impressive discussion, some info on the happening in the wiki, a mandatory fan art and fan fiction section, and a section devoted to the Roleplaying forum, as well as name changes, if they happen.

BUT, we can always add more.

This is where you come in, these articles are about you, the user, so it makes sense to give you a say in what they will include.

Simply put, throw down your ideas for these articles, mainly what they should include, but anything else worth mentioning will be taken into account as well.

This thread will be updated with suggestions as they are posted, and will eventually be made into a poll.

To get you started off, we've considered adding a section for blue posts that didn't get any face time, basically a section for Blizzard posts that got away.


Suggestions

1) Blue/Twitter posts that didn't make it into news, but still stand out.
2) Posts that stand out, such as funniest, worst, most informative, ect.
3) Forum changes (such as the PvP, PvM forums)
4) User of the bi-week.
4.5) Possibly a history included for said user.
5) A quick mention of any new users who made an introduction thread, make them feel more welcomed.
6) A summary of what the wiki team is working on, so users can help out, and so you can expect what new articles are on their way. ]]> Zhar http://www.diablofans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23469 Opinion on new computer. http://www.diablofans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23465&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:24:07 GMT Okay so I'm upgrading my computer. I can't afford the one I REALLY want, but I think the one I'm looking at is pretty solid.

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...ct_id=12347221

  • 2.7GHz AMD Athlon II X2 dual-core processor
  • NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE
  • 6GB DDR2 dual channel system memory, expandable to 8GB
  • 750GB SATA hard drive
Does this seem like a pretty decent choice?

I will be replacing the graphics card right away with a 512mb NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT. (They stopped making these cards, now they only make the 256 version.)

So with that 512 graphics card does it sound like a pretty solid system? At least to run MOST games nowadays? ]]> Off-Topic Forum Daemaro http://www.diablofans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23465 d3 news - how many times you check http://www.diablofans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23462&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:55:46 GMT From memory I've visited Diablofans about 6 times today..

I frequently check the site from various computers to see the news page and the timezone is off from when I'm checking (I'm in CST). Could the time zone of the poster be added at the end of the posting time stamp (or the default site time zone or whatever it's showing as?)?

But I want your honest opinion about the major headsets for gaming these days. Specifically, if you can: Tritton AX720, Tritton AXPRO, Turtle Beach X31/X41, Astro A40's w/ Mixamp, Razer Megalodon, Razer Barracuda, Logitech G35. Note they are all surround sound I'm looking for Headphones that I'm able to pinpoint a location, my stereo speakers for my Tv just don't cut it and using the X1's sound good but obviouslly surround sound would be better. Write reviews comments questions anything I'm just here to monitor this and see which would be a good fit for me. Not some of my conditions, they gotta be comfortable for long hours, cause during the summer i live my life on games. maybe 12 hrs a day, yes i have no life. Oh and they have to be able to cancel out noise i hate it hen i hear my mom saying chris stop playing those games you've played for too long. Also a good mic i need my friends to be able to clearly hear me without having to hear my mom aswell. another gripe i have is most headsets are very Trebly either theres too much mid and high or just not enough bass. But i need a big Bass because i love hearing those damn explosions ruble through my head. plus that little screeching noise you get when its too trebly and theres an already high pitched tone coming through your speaker ugh it gives me shivers.

I have only seen some diablo 3 videos and there doesnt seem to be any point..
Like enemies come and there is some chain lightning and they are all dead new enemies come and the same lightning and they are dead..
Or a character that spins and kills everything in path and you can do that over and over..
Is there some tactics or is it really mindless killing like in videos?

I noticed that lately due to some changes in the forums' structure, its kinda hard to find things... I want to ask... why aren't there sub sections in the Off Topic forum for music, movies, or other things... Like sport, and ummm anyway i know that these sub sections wont be so active or maybe even dead but whats the harm of having those?


I just think it sets a little bit of order in the whole off topic section.
