Official Diablo III Site Gets Updated
The skill calculator also provides a very convenient way to see the description of each skill and its rune effects, along with the icon for each skill. If you're starting from the home page instead of the link above, select the Game tab, look under Tools, and you'll find the link to the skill calculator there. The Game tab also provides an interesting look at future updates to the official page.
Another update on the official site is a new page on Diablo III's shared stash. Although its not anything new, it does provide a nice overview of the stash's functions in the upcoming game. The article about the shared stash also reveals that Hardcore characters will have access to a different stash and Auction House than Normal characters. The wording of the section on the Hardcore stash also seems to hint that there could be some items available only to Hardcore characters that you can't find on Normal, or possibly the other way around.
Other than that, the site was also updated with a What's New in Diablo III page. It provides short paragraphs on Runestones, Followers, Crafting & Artisans, the Auction House, and other major parts of Diablo III that were previously unseen in the series or have been improved upon for the third installment. For the sections that have pages on the site, there are links to click through to. However, for features such as Artisans and Followers, there are no official pages yet, but we'll be sure to let you know when those pages get updated.
Every class section has had their calculators pinned for easier access.
I remember when diablofans forum is always excited about something else while I'm only one of the few that's been waiting patiently on the official community site. Now everyone is excited about it...
Interesting observation. It may not be anything to rely on, but there's always the possibility! Have there been any word about this at all?
This game is going to be amazing.
Well the actual wording is this:
I don't know what to make of it, but I'm pretty sure that the D3 team hasn't gone in to any detail about it before that.
Yeah they're doing an update or something...
THe nbote on hardcore sounds like hedging to me. Like they have nothing planned, but can leave the option open for soe point in the future.
Oh, and am I the only one who likes the look of the rank 5 rune the best? (I like all of them that is just my favorite. Not QQing)
I think it is. Also not that classes have different numbers of active skills ranging from 21 (Monk) to 25 (Wizard)
Wait...What!!?? Guns! I thought they explicitly stated that Sanctuary would not have guns! Yet right front and center for the DH's Key Features the advertise guns! I really don't know how I feel about that but there will certainly be an uproar somewhere.
Relax that's probably a typo, it probably meant xbow guns.
Stark Winter
Indigo Runestone
Increase the size of the Blizzard to cover 22 yards, and deal 136-188 Cold damage per second.
For those who don't understand, Stark is a family which the story revolves around in "The Land of Fire and Ice" (book(s)) and Game of Thrones (tv series).
