This horse has been whipped in superglue already. Since there isn't a problem with the current system, and it is pretty much gospel that the current skill system is it's final phase, can we move along...

I'm thinking said item is a common (usless) that we could have an option to auto pick it up and sell it. It would save time and effort. Also for the Rares and unique items then would go directly into you're inventory to identify or hold on to.

I would love feed back on this idea, just theory crafting.

I'm thinking were getting waaaaaay to lazy if we aren't even willing to pick up our drops and handle them appropriately.

Also who says theres going to be 'worthless greys' like in WOW? Even if there are non-magical grey items who says their worthless? Maybe if they do exist they can be broken down into crafting mats...

Cuz...

When D2 was released over a decade ago, one of it's cutting edge features was the client-server online protection. At the time of release this was top-shelf security and it took quite some time before any real cracks appeared in it. However, with enough time and effort everything can be cracked and now we have to current botfest of D2.

Now they wish to make D3 as secure as possible at release. If to get a high level of security so that bots/hackers/dupers/asswipes don't ruin my gaming experience I don't care if they force you to breath into a tube to get the program started. If it can keep my playing experience fun for as long as possible I say do it.

Whats even more ironic/moronic is that I bet 90% of the people who played D2 did so online or at best played offline only when forced to. Lets get real, in todays broadbanded world will being connected to play really be a problem? The only time I'm not connected is during a power outage, which tends to cause a serious degrade in gaming experience by itself. Get real and find something realistic to bitch about...

I forgot to mention.... it's confirmed... The 5th Class in D3 will be a Pirate!

Oh and why do Pirates like Apple?


They invented the AyyyyyyyyePod!

I already plan to take a weeks vacation when D3 is released.... Possibly followed by a few sick days!

I also have to apologize for trying to sound like the 'wise old guy'. I don't pretend to be Yoda or anything, and I'm not very eloquent when posting, so I'll say my bad for not being a little more clear about the points I was trying to make.

Apology accepted, so lets all forget about the little misunderstanding and get back to talking about what were really here to talk about - D3!

Personally I kinda like the smaller player cap. Since I'm not active in D2 right now I can't speak to the current game, but in the long forgotten past a 8 player party was absolute chaos and a total lagfest.

Try running a 8 player party with a summon heavy necro or two, then add in a firewall sorc, and maybe a frozen orb or blizzard sorc for good measure and tell me what kinda frame rate you get... Okay I know YOU have the $6,000 uber pro top of the line newb owning game system, but the rest of the world will be lucky if their screen doesn't explode.

4-5 players per game honestly sounds about right to me, and I think it will improve overall gameplay and game balance in D3.

I guess well just have to wait and see what the end result is, but I think they are on the right track.

Peace

Man some people are ridiculous, i am STILL hearing the complaints about no mods/ offline only/ RMAH.

no mods and offline only go hand in hand. To make mods, someone would need the architecture of the game to change things around. And to play offline your computer would have to have every diablo 3 file. This leads to immediate hacking, duping, and scamming. with a real money auction house this HAS to be forbidden, because while before the aforementioned hacking and duping was annoying, now its a way to make money illegally, posing real legal threats to blizzard.

Now I'm sure your question is, well why the eff do we even NEED a RMAH? Because unless you want diablo to go the way of WoW with almost every item soulbound / BoA, and you want to lose the fun of your friend finding that awesome sword and letting you have it, you need the RMAH. Without it, all those 3rd party websites will pop up, and people will STILL be able to buy and sell the items, but its unsecured, and shadey, and when you spend that 200$ on those items, and they don't deliver, you are screwed, blizz won't, and can't step in to help. Its a lesser of two evils, and I would rather have blizz oversee player to player transactions.

The death of MF stacking frees up more builds to "farm," with too. I thought the old MF was a pretty silly system myself. It simply rewarded classes and builds that allowed for mf itemization to the exclusion of other stats and generated an entire gearset that had no use except to grind with.

Good discussion, curious to see where this one goes. What I'm expecting MFing to be is more of a kill monsters in a specified place and yes kill bosses but the killing to get to the boss is necessary as I'm about 100% sure you won't be able to just spam teleport like in D2.

I look forward to every single one of your posts. And I'm never disappointed. You're like a microcosm of entertainment. +1
