im talking about skill customization implementation for the game.
lets say that there are 30 different skills for each character,
we know there are 5 different rune classes and 7 ranks for each
this means:
5(characters) * 30(skills) * 5(runes class) * 7(ranks) = 5250 different skill customization
now, if blizzard will have to implement the graphics for each skill this is very not doable! it will take years!
-Different rank does not mean different graphic, or anything very different. A fireball is hard to make, sure. Make 2, 3 or 4? Easy as pie.
-Not all effects are done from scratch. There's no reason to start everything from the beginning all the time.
I won't give excessive details, but quite simply, making 1 rank of a skill is harder than making the 6 others, and with skills sharing some effect with others with some modification, the work is not -quite- as overwhelming as you think.
Not to mention that they have been working on it for years. :rolleyes:

A belief in no God is a belief in everything. It is a belief in the unfathomable number of events of blind chance required for every living thing to be here.
something is very fishy here guys.

any thoughts?

It IS still very big, but I say its doable.
I thought it was only 20 (active skill only). And runes ranks do not change the graphics most of the time.
So it's 20(skills)*5(characters)*5(runes)=500. Piece of cake.
