I'm not a big believer in this, but if I had to make a theory....
Diablo III General forums would obviously be the general forums for D3
Now why is there a 4,5, and 6?
Well those could be sorts of sub-forums or they could be different language forums as they have for SC2.
THE REAL QUESTION IS.....
Did these forums exist previously before WWI was announced?

I use a lot of rares/uniques leveling up. It's nice to then use those again if I make an alt. And also...just because I found that super unique...doesn't mean 40 other people won't have it. They'll still have it...they just wouldn't be able to trade it if there was a BoP or BoE system. And who is to say I won't want to use that same unique leveling another character? I don't want to be pigeonholed by some crap loot system like WoW in D3.
BoE is a horrible idea. There are so many varying uniques and rares with stats that maybe one at the moment is nice, but you find something new that is better, then you're stuck with this good item that can't be traded or passed down to another char. Take rings/ammys for instance. Those can be used by any class pretty much. I have a sorce who has a real nice ring, but then I find a better one and equip it. Now I want to make a necro and I want to use the ring I no longer use on him...o...wait...I can't cuz it's BoE.
I agree that it's highly doubtful it will happen...however...i think if they did they'd lose a lot of players because that kind of system has no place in a hack and slash and fans are already pissed about the graphics...which can be somewhat looked past...but a BoE/BoP system...that's just asking for trouble.

Oh yeah, where did you hear this? Link please. Also, what certain loot?
If by "certain" loot you're talking about all uniques...then that still sucks.
0
Oh, they've already catered to WoW players in the loot system.
Every player gets there own specific loot drops. So what you see on your screen that drops...only you can loot it. No more intense click fests for uber uniques.

You want a system like that? Go play WoW.
The great thing about the Diablo series is that it didn't feel like working grinding for items. It was fun and enjoyable. If you got a super duper most excellent awesome item, used it and then wanted to reroll....you didn't have to go farm for that item again or pray that a rare similar to it would drop.
The BoP and BoE system is one of things I disliked about WoW to begin with. I came from EQ where you could reuse items that YOU SPENT TIME getting.
If I put in my time to play the game and get items, I do not want to be forced into doing it again. Those items are mine and I want to be able to freely trade them between my characters and to other characters for items they might have that I want.
The good news is that Blizzard wouldn't put such a system into D3. They know the players of the Diablo series do not want a system like it. Plus, the Diablo series in no way supports such a system. It's a hack and slash and the fun about the game is to click, kill, and loot.
It's easy and though repetitive...it still retains its replay value...unlike WoW.
I'm 99% confident that we won't have to worry about Blizzard doing something so retarded...but if they did....that would be the icing on the cake. Many players can look the other way when it comes to the graphics, but when you start fucking with the game play...you're going to piss off a ton more and bullshit game mechanics like that in D3 will be a deal breaker for a good majority.

I'm not making fun of myself for bashing WoW since I played it. I realized long ago that the game was horrible months before BC was released. I stopped playing as much and kept my sub up because some of my guildies were still playing.
I also stopped PvEing for the most part and just PvP'd. I would camp people, gank, and do arenas.
The PvP in WoW is decent...but could be improved.

Yes it will be on Battle.net....a new version. Go back and watch the video. When someone asks "Will there be a monthly fee?" The dev responds "Right now we aren't sure whether we will or will not have a subscription for D3"

Instead of using the same gritty style and bump maping found in D2 in the Art Design, it is as though Blizzard exported the skins and models from WC3/WoW and put them in D3.
It simply doesn't fit.
The color and lighting is fine...cept maybe the blue/green fog in dungeons. D2 had plenty of light and color. But D2 also had texture, bump maping, and realistic Art Design. D3 is lacking it all and looks cartoony.
So all you haters can stop bitching about us not like the color or lighting because that's not the issue.:thumbsup:

I don't mind the art design or graphics. It fits the WoW model. What I hate about WoW is the linear game play and the monotony behind it.
I'm sad to see that Blizzard has taken the Art Design of WoW and the texture for skins and models and have placed them in D3.

What will you do if you have to pay a fee for D3? You know that they are considering this...

Oh my god your reading comprehension is TERRIBLE! I'm done talking to you until you learn how to read and comprehend the words in front of your beady little eyes, you pathetic putz.

You know where assuming gets you? No where...because assumptions are based off of no knowledge and are usually wrong.
You should keep those banana lips shut and not shoot prematurely from your cockholster.
I played WoW from release and up until a couple months ago. I played both horde and alliance. I have seen all the end game content. I have seen most of the bosses in Sunwell. I have killed Illidain. I've basically done it all.
There is no replay value in WoW because there is no sense of accomplishment. They pigeon hold you to factions and then destroy world PvP with bgs which are northing more than amusement rides for carebears and casual PvPers to enjoy.
WoW is linear, with a hold your hands quest system. It's a great game for people new to MMOs, or for people with little time to play and who want to reach end game quick and fast.
Real MMOs take effort and time. Quests mean something and you feel a sense of accomplishment. They do not hold your hand throughout every level.
Now go find a dark corner and fuck off already.

The game is much more fun when PvP is FFA, there is custom loot, and you can fly in Azeroth.

I agree 100%. It's not so much the colors or the lighting, because D2 had both color and lighting...but it's the shading and texturing of the skins and models. They are too smooth and cartoon like.:thumbsup: And the armor...jesus...the armor went from a Gothic style to WoW-like. That's a bad move, IMO.

Your immature post is pathetic.:thumbsup:

*bangs head on desk*
Why would the game change in appearance? What makes you think that in another part of Act 1 that they will suddenly add bump mapping, change the whole Art Design, give every model new skins, and tone down the color pallet?
That would basically be a whole new game...and it's not possible to have bump mapping in one part of a game and then have it in another. It is also impossible to change skins/models from one part of the map to another.
You simply just aren't thinking logically. :thumbsup:
