Monk's Spunk has been reduced to 150 spirit... You can't even do 2 x Inner Sanctuaries (80 spirit) lol... how stupid

Not even in the patch notes either...

Also the DH is I think worse, at the start I could hardly kill stuff and was actually being forced back... Using the strongest bow / xbox I could find...

Something needs to be done cause it wasn't fun... Now the Barb breezed through and that was fun.

Quote from Plaguemask

PvP is always the only end game unless you're playing WoW where they make more bosses and acheivements.

Complete and utter BS, people still play Diablo 2 till this day and mainly for the PvE aspect...

There has never been any TRUE PvP in any Diablo games yet. There has only been simple basic junk where you can hostile other players and PK / fight them, but not in a true PvP experience...

I think getting all classes to 60, all with awesome gear ontop of getting all 3 artisans to lvl 10, getting runes and gems upgraded.... That's alot of gaming right there...

I'm totally disappointed by blizzard by doing this rather than continuing the opt-in process(they could still be continuing it, we just don't know)...

This sweepstakes promotion DOES NOT include everyone, whereas the opt-in process DOES.

I can understand why they did a sweepstakes so some lucky people can get 2 keys, but why not make it that 1000 lucky people get 2 keys, and then invite another 1000 via the opt-in process?

Or perhaps this is why not a lot of opt-ins have been invited? Who knows!! lol

Lol, i'm honestly very disappointed I was hoping they wouldn't reset it so I could actually do a push for lvl 99, but alas It won't happen. Going from 98 - 99 in D2 nowdays is just freaking crazy if you do it like me...

100% legit, no hacks / bots or w/e

I am very curious as to why it was delayed perhaps we'll know at blizzcon or something...

Quote from Lenks

OK they want from us to play co-op, ok fine... But why are they made Followers to be useful only in Normal, that's the thing that doesn't make sense to me...

Not only that but... It's only Single player also...

Follower system that only works for Single player and only works in Normal. To try to promote co-op play from the people that only play single player.

The day Blizzard goes console I'm out.

Console sucks compared to PC, don't make that mistake !

I agree, I may buy another box in the future just to hook up to my 37" lcd with wireless mouse + keyboard and play games from my bed hehe.

But, if you want to play on a big screen or TV you can do that now... If you think your poor, well Blizz tries to cater for older systems and even basic ones can run their games easily, this laptop with 1 gig ram, 128mb vid can run wow 12-20 fps on low settings( yea sucks, but it still runs)

On my gaming box which i paid $1,500 AUD for custom built, runs wow at a smooth 50-100 fps on max settings.

I also don't like the sound of "dumbed down" pc games so the console version doesn't look really bad. I have played D1 on the PS1 years and years and years ago, it wasn't too bad but it didn't really feel like diablo to me.

Blizz is making Diablo 3 to be FAST PACED, I believe playing on a console will slow you down alot. I believe Blizzard should make a stand alone game, just like they were doing with Starcraft: Ghost, perhaps they are redoing it ^^ who knows what they are thinking. But they will be doing something with consoles in the future, I hope it has nothing to do with D3 or SC2.

I think all you guys are missing the point, Blizz has released 2 breadcrumbs and maybe a 3rd... lets see...
1) Bigger stash then the extra bit u all missed

2) Since the stash is bigger this means it will cover more screen space, which means you need higher resolution, since you need to have your inventory open to move things into it, right?

3) This one is a maybe since it is also based off my #2 answer about higher resolution. Since the resolution is increased, the room on screen for the inventory is also larger, perhaps increased inventory too.

Or if not a higher resolution, everything is abit smaller, i don't know.
These are just my thoughts... What do you guys think?

Quote from "blood-doll" »

was hoping it would be a little later :/
both due to school and other obligations, and also in hopes that it was a substantial patch.
oh well hope its good
i'll be there (though not very much till june 18th)

Hey blood doll, long time no see, i don't know if you remember me so i'll just say, i'm the infamous LagSpike(Uswest HCL) from long ago, the one that didn't make 99 :(:(:(

I will be checking to see if this patch has anything to offer since WoW for me is dead atm.

Looking forward to seeing old faces in d2 chat rooms again, hope to see yours if u decided to play again.

EDIT: WOOT 250th Post! lol

I found there was a problem sustaining mana with the wizard, the mana regen was just way too slow, which slowed down game play, once the mana regen is upped it shouldnt be a problem, it was really slow even with 5/5 regen(250% mana regen)

All and all 4/5 for the wizard class( going to be playing the others soon)

really well done map imo

Just a quick note, whats the point of a console anyway?
Is it just the fact you can play it on a big TV? You can do that with PC's too...
Whats this attachment to consoles, since they basically are miniture computers...
These consoles use different controls, which are different to PC's, and PC's use different controls to a Console.

What are your guys thoughts on consoles in general?
I would like D3 to stay on PC since the previous games have been, and if Blizz decides to make a game for the console, have it as a new IP or something.

INVENTORY
Blizzard said they have plans for making the inventory much better.
In the video we can see room for 30 items. It seems each item will have it's own reserved space with no size variations, similar to the bag system of World of Warcraft. The Barbarian, however, has only 12 item spaces "active" or "available", other 18 being "greyed out". This means characters in D3 will be able to carry variable sizes of bags. If you look at the bottom of the inventory space, there are 4 greyed out slots for bags, similar to World of Warcraft. The icon for these bags is the same as the main inventory screen icon.

This bit worries me, i don't want a bag system like WoW for a Diablo game, it makes it look and feel too much like WoW. But if it has to be then i it has to be.

The grayed out bags reminded me of WoW instantly, and gave me a face

Need more originality for the inventory

But looks good, thanks for the info MD

It wasn't a typo. I saw 1.12a in the update-log somewhere.
And Diablo3.com is down for Hungary as well.

And I found a D2XP_IX86_111b_112a.mpq file in my DiabloII/Runewords/
folder

Indeed www.diablo3.com is now showing up as

Firefox can't find the server at www.diablo3.com.

Here we go boys n girls!

When Blizzard announced a D2 Ladder Reset, i said patch was comming, and it did.

Just watch out for any changes to where that page links hehe

Quote from "Magistrate" »

Careful what you say- people have a wonderful tendency of dumbing down your argument and sticking a few "lolz" in, and then saying you're a moron. Not that I'm saying that, because I'm not, but that's generally what happens, it seems, when someone doesn't agree. Except for Goodguy, who actually gave facts to support his side of the argument.

True, but what about all the people recently affected by natural disasters...

THEY HAVE HOPE!!!

Honestly its like goodguy isn't human

And IF, something is announced at the WWI in Paris, then i WILL be expecting a demo at Blizzcon

Just making that point clear...


43 days 35 minutes to go until Blizzard's World Wide Invitational

Quote from "Magistrate" »

Eh, well, I don't personally buy stuff off the net, so I'm not really up to date on these things (stuff in general, not just talking about game items.) Yeah, the bots pretty much ruined the leveling aspect. Being able to buy items right after a ladder reset, however, ruins the "everyone starting off equal" thing.

Well, the whole ladder reset was a complete and utter joke...

WHY reset the fing ladder with no fixes to bugs / dupes / bots / hackers...

THERE IS NO FING POINT... and just look what happened, even more people quit, its a damn wasteland now.

Back to Blizzcon, i think this is the year, too many things regarding "Diablo", its "release dates" and ownership changes of domain names eg "www.diablo3.com"

After the WWI in Korea, Blizz showed off SC2 @ Blizzcon later that year. If something is announced at the WWI in Paris, then i will be expecting a detailed demo at Blizzcon in October.
