I wouldn't be terribly suprised if they brought the vine back for the WD. I always liked that thing, and it would fit with the WD, and they've been bringing back D2 skills with a new flair (ie Meteor, Multishot, and Hydra). It would also fit well with runes, like instead of there being multiple types of vines, you can have one rune give you mana back, another eat corpses for health, etc.
I think a good solution to this would be something along the lines of phasing in WoW, where certain things don't show up until you've completed certain quests. Now I don't think they should force you to do every quest, as they don't want to make it so that its just an extremely long process every time, but they could have it so that you have to complete about half the quests in an act in order to move on. Like when you complete one quest, you can then go to an area and a new passageway has shown up, stuff like that. This way, you could still have higher level friends helping you out and kind of rushing you through, but at the same time you'd still have to go through the main storyline parts each time, and potentially other quests would be worth it depending on the rewards.
One thing that is great about Diablo III is that if Battle net 2.0 turns out to be a failure, and everyone playing sc2 complain about it, Blizzard will most likely fix it, and Diablo 3 will be fine
Which, of course, will delay the release, just like StarCraft II! Which means there is no way we will see this game in 2011!
Um what? By the time D3 is out SC2, and bnet 2 with it, will have been out for a year +. Theres no way that they wouldnt have gotten the kinks out in that amount of time, and if there are bnet 2 related problems that delay D3's release until 2012, then it probably wouldn't have been released in 2011 with or without bnet 2's issues.
Bashiok tryed his best, but lack of innovation is not a matter of opnion.
B.net 2 is nothing but a usual, LOW QUALITY, platform. No chats, no clan support, pathetic interface, ridicolous rank system, players are not allowed to name their rooms... And nothing new. I can't imagine old b.net > new b.net. It's unbelievable but it's true...
Really, wtf is going on there =/
Well of course a new upgrade is going to be low quality. Most of that stuff has been said to be on its way to battle.net 2, chats are even addressed in the post by bashiok this thread is about.
Theres a clear and defined difference between saying that they aren't going to be innovative for the sake of being innovative and saying that they wont innovate at all. One means they are going to keep what they see as good elements of D2, and adding other elements, the other means they're going to be making the same game.
