Should Blizzard Announce Features Well in Advance?
A member of the official forums created a thread explaining that now that he knows what's coming in the next patch he has lost interest in playing, until the changes go live. Below you can read what Vaneras thinks of these kinds of situations. Have you lost incentive as well?
Hmm... I would think that it would always be better to know what the developers are working on well in advance.
Don't you think you would be even more upset if we announced nothing and you then discover that you "have been farming 3 months for nothing" after the improvements are implemented out of the blue?
Why Not Remove the Auction House? People like different things.
Very true, and this reason alone is why it is such a challenge to try and cater to everyone ;-)
Hey van, why don't you tell us all how proud of the game everyone is again, that's always reassuring Told my milkman the other day that he delivered sour milk. He said he's very proud of his service and thinks it's great.
Yup, I got burned something fierce right there :-( (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Monster Density May Never be Perfect
We are hoping to get some monster density changes in patch 1.0.8. Lylirra posted about them here. Our idea is increase the monster density in Act I, II & IV of Inferno difficulty in order to provide a variety of farming options. We believe there will always be an optimal routes for efficiency, but our intention is lessen the gaps that currently exist. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
From the bravest Barbarian to the most driven Witch Doctor, every hero has a name they answer to. Most names do not come from the nether, however. Many are homages to ancestral homelands, respected warriors of old, or even fond relics of the past.
But does a name shape a hero or a hero shape a name?
For this week's community question, we want to ask you: What inspired your Diablo III character name?

While I love hearing about future changes as early as possible, it can cause me to lose motivation until those changes actually do happen. I always like playing games how they are "intended by the designers to be played". Announced changes basically say "The game is not intended to be played in its current state." May sound harsh, but it's a reason why I'm not playing D3 at the moment. Other reasons would be lack of interesting skill/rune combinations (hello Wizard) and "exciting" items. Let's not forget that the game destroys its own atmosphere at times. (Seriously, D1 and D2 were dead serious; D3 has way too many "humorous" components.) The entire story involving Maghda reminds me of some children's TV show.
