lol
Well sure, they just ordered them alphabetically. No wait.
I like the covering blood idea, but the falling of limbs and armour idea will get old quick, it's not necessary.
I think this would be good if u had no health bars.
If there was an option to get rid of the health bars of bosses/monsters you would notice cuts on them, an arm/armour falling off and this would indicate their current health. I knoe it be alot tougher not knowing their health but it be more challenging.
The very first game I've ever seen introduce these wounded states was Final Fantasy Mystic Quest for the SNES. Ever since then I've always really liked the idea. Once you got them down to a certain health, they'd have bandages and scratches all over their face. It's an interesting concept. I'm really curious to see how it plays out. I could see it being really immersing.
We got ourselves a potentially "postal" problem here with D3 becoming a gore fest.
Limbs flying with severed arteries spraying blood wildly will not happen I would think.
In my country, we have draconian censorship for computer games that goes way beyond that for porn due to an anomaly in our outdated pre-computer era laws. Same in some other countries.
But I do want nice effects when a monster dies and a blood splat will be great. I just hope that there is the ability to hack the game to turn it "on" as it will ship in Australia disabled if it is too nice.
Falling armour or a bloodless limb dropping off the undead - skels don't have blood - would be good (but not great).
A real clincher is a total transformation from a behemoth into a hundred zombies for example or a bloated boss exploding and covering our heroes in slimey poison.
Whatever. Just get it past the censors!

So we've got over the problem of colour in D3. Great. Now let's argue about everything else not yet set in stone and help make this game simply great! Game on.
They could incorporate this into the Thousand Pounder with his summoning. Say if you kill one of the sacrificial girls, he would come to life missing an arm or a leg or something, also symbolizing that he has less heath than normal.
Speaking of battle damage though, and I don't think this came across in the gameplay video or any of the screenshots as of yet, but when an enemy dies a critical death it actually drenches your hero in blood if you're within proximity of the spray. It's awesome
Stolen from Age of conan much lately???, good feature but.
Bashiok: For boss fights we don't really want to just start throwing "damage decals" on them. It can very easily be too subtle if you're fighting a smaller boss or one that has odd geometry to it, and it can also end up that no matter the flavor, style, and cool look to a boss you just end up fighting a big gory mess.
To me this is exactly what i want to fight in a huge gorey mess of the blood and guts of my kills.
Sounds cool, body parts and armor falling off that is pretty sweet lol. :D.
Wonder if any of the stuff that falls off the boss is collectible or not. That be tight lol.
That's actualy what came to my head, you know, Khalim's Brain and such. They sort of did that with the 'ubers', but so far what they are doing with the games sounds pretty awesome.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
Ah, thank the lord. I am so glad they will be implementing things like this. I have always been annoyed at bosses who are full of life and strength and then in one hit they suddenly die (as they ran out of health).
Thins is.. if limbs of opponents will be flying here and there, what about the main protagonist (the player)? Will he be gutted also if a uber-diablo or something like that takes a swing at a less sturdy part of the protagonist. -sight- Being crippled, blind or temporary incapacitated as to not perform to the top of one' s abilities would be nice but very hard to implement, though it would definetly add more realism to the game. Ahh, does Fallout 2 mean anything to anybody?
Not gonna happen. Can you imagine a barbarian trying to fight with only one leg? He'd be toast, so if this gets implemented, it'd practically be like a death animation more than anything.
On the other hand, given how the Siege Breaker performed, I wouldn't rule out such death animations
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.

Are u crazy ? first Mario Bros, when u hit a turtle then its just his back on the floor +P

Yeah - that would be nice - or grab up a leg or arm and bash them with their own limb.

Give, expecting nothing thereof. ------------ BoD - Come have some fun! Folks will always come and go, so enjoy them while they're meant to be in your life.
I guess Blizzard is still the only company that can make a Quality Hack N Slash with so much detail. Why is there not more companies that take advantage of the core Simplicity of a Hack N Slash and flesh it out in many different ways like Blizzard is doing. I guess the majority of Hack N Slashes created are considered 3rd Tier.

because hack n slash is for the arcade, not for something with 125 different buttons...
buuuut blizzard is the only company that can make a hack n slash in current times so the others just have to lay in wait to see diablo 3 and starcraft 2 kill their games in preparation for the coming of WoS
This Is The Best Dang News Ive Heard All Day!!! Woot!!

Reading that post after being in the "Should Demons have genitals" thread makes for a very weird line of thinking. Damn. I need some sleep before I scare the crap out of myself and everybody else.
pmsl .. reminds me of a scene in the film lock, stock and two smoking barrels .. lol except that was rubber, and i presume a great deal smaller than you might expect on a monster boss such as diablo or the siege breaker...lol
i don't mind chopping bits off , but im not picking it up without any gloves on:thumbsup: ....lmao

IDC how "cartoonish" it will look now - gore and blood > color of barbarians hair.
Monster + explosion = AWESOME(ted nugent)
