Sep 10, 2011Darbyothrill posted a message on Much Ado About ColorsPosted in: NewsI see what you're saying... But people still and always will put wizzards and mana together because of how many games do that.
Yeah, I agree that people have a strong association with mana and a Wizard, and it is completely valid. I personally feel that the subtlety of their choice to go with mana is cool, though I happened to be born on a Pacific island. =D
Even so, I didn't know that mana was a pacific island word until I looked it up last night, haha. -
Sep 10, 2011Darbyothrill posted a message on Much Ado About ColorsIn regards to mana, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ManaPosted in: News
"Mana is an indigenous Pacific islander concept of an impersonal force or quality that resides in people, animals, and (debatably) inanimate objects. The word is a cognate in many Oceanic languages, including Melanesian, Polynesian, and Micronesian."
Considering that the etymology of the word is from the pacific islands and not europe/asia, I think that mana fits for the witch doctor in a way that people don't realize. It's really not a western word at all. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

I would imagine that their design was to include the awesome enchantments on the random enchant slots, as this increases the variation of the items thus giving them a wide range of value. It's not a bad concept, but it ruins the feel of what I'm assuming was uniques. Now those legendaries are just a piece of art with bland stats on them.
I guess they want legendary to be better than rares, though according to Jay Wilson: "If we do things right we’ll see end-game players with a mix of legendary, rare, and crafted items."
I just really hope that this isn't the extent of interesting itemization in the game, and that the interesting enchantments are not show. If not, this itemization is just terrible and bland. I'm at least optimistic.
