I think that depends a great deal on how you want to view the idea. Technically, the special stat is already in the set item, you'd just be unlocking it. I think it's a great idea, but, at the same time, it depends what the player's will determine as useful stats. For instance, I'm sure the devs of Diablo II thought that +25 to energy was an awesome stat- however, after it was released to the public, energy was deemed a virtually useless mod to have in just about any item. So, I think it would really just be better if there were a bunch of stats that only sets could ever aquire, but that those special stats needed to be cubed in to the set item, that way you get to pick and choose which ones you want to improve your set item on your own and customize it more, while not ever having to be stuck with certain undesirable stats that you would unlock at a tier. I don't know, it made sense in my head. Maybe someone else will get what I'm saying or something.
I like the idea and i get what your thinking, take a given set, give it more unlock able potential than can be chosen to be unlocked, therefore letting players customize and tailor a given set to their own personal needs(also allowing blizzard to compensate for whatever initial miscalculation, like with the +25 to energy, which they may have made) . XD Where's the loss (I loved using the Cube in d2):D
I think scaling is a bad idea because it would take blizzard a lot of effort to calculate all the sets, I think they could do it from a technical point of view, but they'd have trouble foreseeing all the combinations(for higher levels) which could causing balancing issues.
In the previews we see that the witch doctor's locust swarm eats all the flesh off of the zombies....but shouldn't that just make them undead skeleton warriors? XD
I never read the books in english, but when i read them in polish they were an amazing read (all of them!) So if anyone hear loves diablo but didn't like it in english(it is a relatively young language after all) , then I reccomend trying it in another language (considering you can read another language) XD
Blizzard has always known what they were doing, and i'm sure they spent more time on these forums than we do looking into what fans really want, i really like the ragdoll physics idea, and they're including alot of content from their books in the game it seems, like Caldeum as a place we can finnaly explore XD I also like that (it at least appears) they brought back the Barbarian from the original game(even though i feel that so far they've completely botched his image into a thrall look alike >:-[ )
wazaaaaaaaaaa everyone, and Siaynoq, when i joined an Ultima Online forum once i got banned in the first 20 minutes... lol (the're all virgins and proud of it)!! XD
There was something about the chaos of setting up games (or randomly trading in game) items that made the trading fun. I think an auction house would ruin d2, d2 had that feeling of going to a marketplace and bartering one good for another, sometimes if someone was in need you got a good amount of items(even before all the duping began). Even though one could argue that the trade system was hectic or non-existent in d2, it was original and (even for those like me who didn't buy anything online) fun.
Well Will Wrights main focus in the Spore engine was the randomized(or customizable) body parts, much like the A.I for the Sims took 7 years to develop and in both cases the focus of the game was centered around given 7 year development XD. If randomized body parts is anywhere as hard as making customizable ones(in the sense that it works, functional, looks good and doesn't cause crashes every 30 seconds), then i think it would've been one of their larger selling points by now. We can see them flaunting the Havok physics engine left and right, and they're keeping the randomized events in the game which would play into the engine as well, i think the randomized body parts may cause problems on the physics integration side, but it's right at home with the random encounters, so i'd say 50/50 based on those shallow facts XD
(I remember reading something like what you said btw)
