Vexione posted a message on Blizzard Hinting A Beta Date?As a side note, any rumors you may have heard about a gate to Diablo’s Burning Hells opening in Cologne are completely unfounded. Seriously, nothing is happening at Rudolfplatz from the evening of August 16 — especially nothing to do with demonic invasions.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion -

CherubDown posted a message on Fury, Spirit, Auras, Collision Detection, and DyesA wave of interesting information from Bashiok came in today. I'll go from most important to least important:Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
From Twitter, Nekrage had an interesting question about the Barb's fury resource:
Official Blizzard Quote:
Not all barbarian skills require fury to use, and some even generate it...How come the Barbarian has to build up rage in order to use abilities..when other classes can spam them all day?
And not all other classes can just spam abilities, they have resource requirements too.
On the Bnet forums, Bash divulges about Monk spirit and mechanics:
Official Blizzard Quote:
No. Spirit is static. It doesn't regenerate, and it doesn't degenerate. Punching demons and using melee skills builds Spirit, and most monk skills spend it.Does spirit naturally deplete after not being used for some time?
The barbarian shouts are powerful, limited duration buffs that you must re-cast once they wear off. Monk auras are very similar. (editor's note: this is exclusive info! It used to be that Monk auras were like Paladin auras from D2 - they were just 'on'. Now this appears to have changed.)
Is it true the Monk's auras function more like the Barbarian's war cries now?
We don't want tracking of combo stages to be so important that there needs to be a UI element to keep track. It should be that if you're up on your game you're tracking combo stages and it helps you get a slight edge, but if not you're kicking ass anyway and will probably do fine. Also, we have made changes to skills so they're consistent; such as making all stages capable of a dash. We don't want the situation you've described to be an issue.Will the UI allow for keeping track of which combo you're on? His combo skills are really exciting but I'm worried it'll become too much of a chore playing the entire game counting out my attacks in sequences of 3. It would be unfortunate to unleash a 2nd tier hundred hand attack at range expecting to dash forward because you miscounted (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePyKl_bgNVQ&list=PL1A7FB5ACC97E7873#t=7m44s).
It will reset after a time, but it's a good amount of time.Do charges expire, or can I hold onto my level 3 charge until I want to unleash it?
An interesting (but not trivial) tidbit on player collision detection:
Official Blizzard Quote:
There's no player collision. You can't block others, only monsters can do that. (exception being in the arena against enemy players, of course)I'm going to PK in HC and get rich doing it. You don't need to hostile, you just need to back stab.
My first character will be the Witch Doctor, and I will trap people next to monsters using Zombie Wall, there will be no escape except death. Then I will loot their corpse, rinse and repeat.
A little bit on item dying:
Official Blizzard Quote:
No, an item can only be dyed one color at a time.Most of the loot we've seen on characters in game is made of at least 3 or so colors. Will dye apply to only the items base color, or will the system be more intricate, allowing you to dye highlights/secondary sections as well?
There is little-to-no possibility of that happening for the release game. I was musing about how gear looks could be swapped around if we ever thought people were looking too similar at the very end game. In no way is it a system that's currently being planned, designed, or even thought about.Bashiok posted that a strong possibility for "end-game" dyes would be a dye that didn't change the colour of the item but the style of it (looking older, more ornate, darker etc.)
And there's actually a lot more information in there, I just don't have time to go over all of it in detail right now. -

Dolaiim posted a message on Damage NumbersI like. big. numbers and I cannot lie.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
You dual-wielders can't deny
That when a barb stomps in with very little grace
And a claymore in your face you get
CRIT
For like a lot of points
And you notice those points got print
On the screen, real-time
Unless you happen to find
It distracting, then just turn that feature off in the options, shouldn't be an issue. -

DryIce135 posted a message on this is yours.. this is for you..I wonder if the numpad character voice commands from d2 will be returning to d3. they were a fun addition.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
*cow level begins, nova sorc goes to tristram and fetches leg, drops it in town with 7 other players standing around.* starts spamming " this is yours, this is for you " until someone opens the portal XD -

Equinox posted a message on Auction house, A good or a bad thing?I don't care how the trade system is implemented, as long as it works and there is an economy that is not run by some random 3rd party website.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion -

Like I said before I think these people are idiots without dignity and intellect. They deserve to be scorned and mocked because they are the lowest of the low and I hate idiots like that. However, there is nothing wrong in being happy that Osama's dead...in a private and dignified manner. Throwing a celebration like that is not my idea of honoring the dead who have finally been avenged.Posted in: General Discussion (non-Diablo) -

People die every day, many of which do not deserve to. Even if you didn't count all the awful things this man did in his past, up to the very moment of his death he was firing his weapon at U.S. soldiers.Posted in: General Discussion (non-Diablo)
People celebrating in the streets at someone's death, this is hardly just done in the U.S. It's more of a human reactionary mass hysteria than just some cultural thing.
There are reasons to be happy at bin Laden's death and reasons not to be. We can be happy in some sense to finally have some justice. Yeah, sure, the anti-American sentiment purveyors will probably respond with how America is guilty anyway of lots of deaths and therefore we have no right to be happy about Osama bin Laden getting killed. Seriously I'm waiting for someone here to say something like that. But we find and punish people for their crimes as best we can. Nothing is perfect and yes, lots of people get away with their crimes. It was simply nice that here was one less person who got away with his crimes.
I do think there could be some backlash to bin Laden's death. Possibly a new terrorist attack somewhere. But who knows how much al-Qaeda was dependent on bin Laden's financing and networking. I'm sure for some time he's hardly been idle and that he's been preparing other people to take over and run the organization in his stead. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
