I'm sure this is already known and being dealt with but just in case, the Wizard and Witch Doctor spells still have a set number as opposed to being weapon %. Thanks.

Wow Tyreal's looking mighty fine at Blizzcon.

Anyone know how much, or about how much the collector's edition will come out to (in US $)?

So, for example, if you put an unattuned Rune into your Magic Missiles and it rolls an Indigo effect (which adds additional missiles per rank), if you later decide to take that Rune out, it will forever remain a Magic Missile splitting Rune, unusable in any other skill. Even this isn't completely set in stone though, as they've hinted that they might add a functionality to the Mystic to wipe effects off Runes.

Wont we be able to wipe effects over and over again until we get the perfect effects?

If it costs money and I'm feeling particularly unlucky one night and I need a crimson rune but it rolls an alabaster so I wipe for 10g (or whatever) it becomes an alabaster again, damn, another 10g to the enchanter, damn, gold, close but still not crimson, another 10g, alabaster again, wtf? 10g again, I NEED A DAMN CRIMSON.. I know its not that common, but there are 5 runes and there is a 20% of getting what you want each 'attunement' and sometimes it can be frustrating and costly. If it doesn't cost anything to unattune then that would be great and it would probably work out in my favor.
And you might say 'well, nox you can say the same thing about drop rates, you might need a crimson but the monsters keeping dropping golds and obsidians'. and that's true but 1- they might make certain monsters have a higher chance of dropping certain rune colors so you can specifically farm those guys, if not 2- having that rune in your hand and not having it turn into that crimson is A LOT more frustrating than just not finding one, having something so close yet so far is worse than not having it at all. but like I said, if its free or really cheap it might work out better as I won't have to search for one of every color and just reattune that one rune and just hope it what I want when I want it.

But my final words are REALLY not looking forward to the unattuned runes and though I find that random stat affixes will only drive people nuts finding the 'perfect' rune.

PS on a side note just realized that if they add both new features I hope a reattuning doesn't remove both the stat affix along with the rune type, say I get a perfect affix but the wrong rune I can just reattune just hoping for the correct rune type instead of shooting for a correct affix AS WELL (like I said there is a 20% of getting a correct rune which is something manageable when playing the slots but if they have MINIMUM 5 affixes that's another 20% so its 20% for the rune type AND 20% on the rune affix so that can become a real hell, and the number of affixes are more than that making it a lot harder to 'randomly' get that exact rune type AND affix). If anyone talks on the official forum can they please ask this question for me? Thanks

I just think this was a publicity stunt, they did not hear our complaints nor care. They intentionally released a batch of rehashed pics knowing the fans would be pissed and than released this one so that 1) we, the fans would think that they are listening to us and 2) we would appreciate this picture so much more after receiving the last four.

Wow, awesome. But as I played D2 a long time ago as a kid I really do not know much about Diablo in terms of lore.

It was mentioned in the beginning that there has been a battle between angels and demons since the beginning of time yet we don't know why, so technically we don't know who is REALLY the good guys or even the right side, for all we know it is the demons and hell who has been wronged in some way. Nor do we know what the winning side (if in deed there ever will be one) plans to do after the victory. Other than throw a party over the enemies corpses. Will they take over the opposing world? Enslavement? etc?

Also I remember that Lilith was fought in D2 (I think) but from the video, clearly she seems like a good character, she even seems more beneficial to humanity than her lover (forgot the angels name, Anerius?)

Also, it says that each side tried to coerce humanity into joining their own side yet each seemed to oppress humanity in their own way, demons through brutality and angels through harsh order and such (if I heard the video correctly), so why would humanity want to join either side? Neither sound like a good choice, the whole time your looking helping out the angels but are they really in our best interests? (Also relating to my first question).

Also not really a question but I thought it's interesting that I think nephalim might have came from a hebrew word nophal (or nephal) which means to fall or fell, and in this sense would mean The Fallen, not sure if blizzard knew that, though they probably did

What the.. only one.. don't get me wrong, its nice, but honestly it looks extremely sketchy, like they said, 'oh, already time for a new one?' *draws something while listening to a song, then uploads it* there ya go.'

Honestly, in my opinion I don't see a problem with this other than it is only useful for normal.

I don't think it is necessary for mp because it does what multiplayer does in sp mode, gives a friend to help you out. If anything I prefer to use mp anyway, usually player controlled characters are just plain better than NPCs anyway (think of the difficulty difference between PvP and PvE in any game).

And just for those times when I'm not online or not in the mood to be online (or with other people) I can still have a 'co-op' function and still help me out in the game. So technically they just made it a mp game even in sp, and if you don't want the extra help I am sure you can just not hire the follower.

Though the biggest issue is it not being useful in later difficulties, from a developing standpoint it would be wasteful on creating a whole mechanic that would be trashed soon after and from a playing standpoint just when the going gets tough and extra help would actually be useful my help just dies....

We actually got an exclusive confirmation on the items qualities and colors during diablocast ep. 5 which I have updated on our wiki here: http://www.diablowiki.com/Items_(Diablo_III)#Item_Quality

By Socket, there is a typo, it should say 'no' longer.. instead of longer, tried to edit it myself but don't see how.

Scyber, being that you're so tight with Bash and he keeps answering you, and you said that the DH resource is being finished can you ask, or do you know if the other classes are 100% complete and if we can get ANY info on those? Also did they mention any resource globes and how and if they will be implemented?
Thanks.

Here on diablofans you get the news at first. Thanks for the passion and patience guys. I like reading new stuff from you!

I am really looking forward to the beginning of may. Hopefully they will announce the beta date. And I like the approach of Blizzard to hide all interesting stuff from us before releasing the game finally.

And if there is something about the facebook thing, we will know after ~175000 LIKES.

This website is going to drive me crazy.....

A metaphor perhaps....


So this girl says she wants to have sex with you, but you have to wait, and god will you, because she is what you have always wanted.

Years pass, and she is still stringing you along, but you know when you finally get it, it will be worth it.

In the time thats passed, she constantly is teasing you, a dirty text message here and there, and once you start losing hope, I naughty picture comes your way! OK WERE BACK IN BUSINESS!

But still, nothing, just the teasing, and occasional visual to keep you leashed.

It's been 10 years now, and the teasing has become more consistent, more often, and promises of the day soon.....



BUT WHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????


During times like these, you often hit the bar, swallow your pride, and go for the average because it will hold you over for now. But damnit Blizzard! Lose the Chastity belt and let her free!!!!


Were talking about video games by the way......

nice methapor of the wait of Diablo III :sweat:
You said information = girl is teasing you, final game = you having ... with her but what about the beta...something between?

Foreplay/make out session + a bit more than that but no sex?

When they say that 2011is still the plan do they mean the release of the game or the Beta?
