No ETA for "Ask the Devs" Round 3, Easy Way to Unlock All Cinematics, Community Commentary:Pics or It Didn't Happen, More Co-op

Still No ETA for "Ask the Devs" Round 3
The last "Ask the Devs" session was almost 2 months ago and a lot of questions have emerged in players' minds regarding itemization since then. And while it's a sure thing that there will be a third Q&A with Diablo III's developers, there's still no ETA for it.

We don't have an exact date to offer you at this time, but we know that itemization is an extremely important topic to many players and we're still planning to do a third round of “Ask the Devs” focused on itemization.




Easy Way to Unlock All Cinematics
If you'd really like to re-watch D3's cinematics, but they seem to not be appearing in the Cinematic menu, there is actually an easy fix for this and Omrakos is kind enough to share it on the Official Forums.

PS
And to be specific the cutscenes I'm refering to are Cain's Funeral, Leah's Dream, and Diablo assaulting Heaven.
Banewaver,

If you edit the cutscene lines in your My Documents\Diablo III\D3Prefs.txt file to look like these:

PlayedCutscene0 "31”
PlayedCutscene1 "31"
PlayedCutscene2 "23"
PlayedCutscene3 "143"

It will unlock all of the cinematics.




Community Commentary: Pics or It Didn't Happen

What were you doing the first time you took a screenshot in Diablo III? Was it finally finding out what lies beyond the fallen remains of the Skeleton King? Your first Legendary drop? What about your first Hardcore Inferno Diablo kill?

We encourage you to tell us below or head over to /r/Diablo and jump into k4rst3n’s thread and reminisce with your fellow Nephalem about your early journeys through the depths of Sanctuary. Share those early accomplishments, stories of grand adventure, and awesome screenshots!




More Co-op Improvements Being Discussed
Patch 1.0.8 brought us a huge amount of multiplayer implementations and improvements, but they are still on the table for further discussion and further planning.

And how about adding a status beside each player's icon to show how much Nephalem Valor they have got?
We’re glad that so many players have been enjoying the various multiplayer improvements we recently introduced in patch 1.0.8, but as with every improvement, we’re always striving to find ways we can do even better. Your feedback has been heard, and we’ll take it into consideration for future designs.

In general, we know that players sit down with an “intent” of the type of player experience they would like to get done. Whether it be key farming, elite killing, legendary hunting, or what-not, we want players to be able to queue and get into a game that lets them meet their specific goals as smoothly as possible. We definitely view it as an ideal to work towards going forward.

Thanks again for your feedback!
