Make Magic/Rare/Unique items all directly competitive.
Magic should have the greatest range of attributes, but not as many useful ones combined. Like huge +DEX bows, or high damage weapons.
At the very rarest, rares should be marginally better than magics, but only at the very rarest. Otherwise, they should have a lower-range of possible attributes, but more of them. One of the things I missed most was gambling rare rings after the overpowered uniques of LoD came out.
Uniques should have interesting or weird attributes that no other magical or rare items have, hence their name, uniques. I would like to see some uniques possess more -skills or -attributes in return for some huge bonus for a class. For example, some unique could give you huge +% against demons but take away a smaller -% versus the undead. This should be a place for interesting mods found on no other item. Many should be built with specific characters in mind, though not specific builds - for example, I want alot of stuff related to Tal-Rasha, etc. It really helps the player engage in the lore.
Sets should be incredibly powerful once completed, but they should "pigeonhole" you into a build, perhaps a build that isn't as powerful without the set, becomes way more viable with it. In Seven Lances, a Diablo II mod I played, there was a set built specifically for a healer-thorn type druid: not as powerful as you could get with Fury/Maul, but the set helped you become the "archetype" for the class. I'd like some elite-level set pieces to be extremely rare, but changed from Diablo II in the rarest set pieces are often useless, like the IK armor is.
I like this but I feel Rares should have the greatest potential to be the best items.
magics were used to a wide extent in d2, at least in patch 1.09-10
ccs and ccb were staples to some barbs without ith, fury, botd...
they should be plain and simple...1 prefix 1 suffix. rares would have less range, such as less ed, but more effects like ll or ml and +to skills...
but crafting is a major aspect to be considered...

"to the worm in horseradish, the world is horseradish."
- Better enemy AI: stick together in groups, roam around the area and do stuff (sparring/watching, squabbling, worshipping, doing whatever it is that daemons do with their free time) rather than simply waiting to be killed
- Inventory AI (automatic organisation): less babysitting items, more killing
- Negative as well as positive effects on magic items (you have to weigh up the good and the bad - Diablo I)
- Same thing with shrine => risk, gamble!
- Know your enemy: NPCs, especially Cain, are vital for figuring out how to take down tough foes - you aren't simply told when you mouse over.
- Armour offers very good protection but greatly slows the characters down (=> good and bad once again)
- Charged items and scrolls give everyone access to certain (generic) spells
- Fights require more tactical thought rather than just rushing in
- Potions rare/expensive but long lasting and powerful (The Witcher) health globes used for running repairs
- The Butcher
- The odd puzzle every now and then
- Randomly generated quests still need to feel important (not just kill N many of M or bring X to NPC Y)
- LAN play please, not everyone has fast internet
- Wirt's fourth leg
I like the idea, but its way to pre-mature to be talking about tweaking the economy, when we have little to know idea what its even going to be like. they said that the loot you drop is yours, and just yours. Thats going to have a huge effect on the economy. Also, the runes appear to be completely different, with names like "Minor Power Rune."We simply don't know enough about the broader game mechanics of D3 to start talking about fine tweaks.
So I guess, if you are going to talk about the economy, consider, and state the differences in D3 that we already know, before speculating as though its the same as D2.
back up the truck. who are you telling them to back up their stuff.. if u ask me it looks hella good. now u must be on some drugs or somethin to judge them about their AMAZING graphics :confused: thats just wrong ....
Lol - the signature moment of the whole Diablo series is him coming charging out of that room - Diablo I was a much more frightening game than Diablo II.
okay so i played d2 a few years back and it was awesome.
i gave up hope on d3 since it seemed that it will never come out.........but......
NOW IT WILL!!!!
1) I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A FEW NEW CLASSES!!! ex. an elemental warrior (ex. thane on TQ) , a wall type char.(low att but extreme def,hp.stamina).......... i dont like magi...........soz. and as for a ranged char. something else not an archer please. maybe a char. same as hunter on WOW (with a constant pet)
2) 2D graphics. idont think many people would agree but some games pull it of nicely. 2D graphics with amazing looking skills ( I love that type of graphics.......)
3) the main thing that TQ brought to the mix, a shared stash which lets you trade items with your own characters. no lan, no internet and most of all no amazing items that can not be used by the char you pick it up with!!!!
I was thinking when they said they want to stimulate ppl to play together, maybe it would be nice if ppl can combine strengths. For example casting disease on a wirlwinding barb to create a big wirlwind of disease. I think there are very nice combos imaginable here.
Lol how about u just update the d2 storyline and sell it...guaranteed to sell lol:thumbsup:
This is diablo we talking about here people....alot of the suggestions...and i didnt read them all....huge amount...but the 5 pages or so i have read have suggested things from othe games TQ, NWN, SACRED etc.
Most of us started playing those games because of diablo...we dont want what they made...keep diablo true to itself and just follow the formula thats worked the first 2 times.
One thing i would like(ive noticed lately that most games seem to be focusing on creating items yourself...while that is fun...its also annoying)....i would like to see a HUGE set list and unbelievable numbers of items with enough rarity that i want to spend hours lookin for a decent axe lol games dont have that enough these days. im just cheerin its finally happenin
- Identifying Items:
Somewhat agree, the point is to have more things to keep you occupied, no game should be too easy and straight foreward, with your idea, whats the point of having the items to be identified in the first place if you just have to click a skill, in d2 the aim was to create a system that would cost you money each time to identify
I kinda like the fact that you have to identify it and restock, its not too annoying
Are you sure you are talking about D2? Identifying is free in it.
I think identifying was made to force players go back to town to check items out.
I'd like to see blizzard use gold in a way that encourages players to want to obtain it so the economy doesn't use rare items as currency. I hated that about Diablo 2.

Pretty much impossible. Some asshole always finds a way.

There should be some sort of log out time like 10 seconds if you are not in town. So if you die you die. No cheap tricks to escape.
