Interesting, seems you 'Assign' Paragon Points to a character. So you earn them with 1 hero but can put them onto another? #D3RoS
@Narull Correct. All normal characters on an account will share a Paragon level, same for Hardcore, as well as earned Paragon Points. (Twitter)
What about dying in HC? How will that affect your paragon levels? Loss of applied points to that specific character?
@eikEn_ @Narull No loss of points or level in those situations. Benefit of it now being account-wide rather than character-specific. (Twitter)
Any estimates on release date at this point? I'd assume 2nd-3rd Quarter 2014.
@FallenHeavens No release date info to share right now. That's pretty typical, though! (Twitter)
But what do paragon points do? can they only be used once on each hero? do they add stats or?
@Narull It's a customization system. Paragon Points can be spent on various stats like STR/VIT/DEX/INT, movement speed, crit chance, etc. (Twitter)
also, what happens to the people who've already leveled up in Paragon?
@peli_can_flip Bonuses are retroactive. I.E. If you have two p100 heroes right now, the current plan is that you'd have 200 points in ROS. (Twitter)
Will the Crusader be STR based class?
@Twinkeyzzz1 That's the plan! (Twitter)
So dark and creepy love it! also gives wallpaper size of Malthael
@Malithras @mumper There will definitely be epic wallpapers in the near future. Seriously. I'm excited just thinking about them. (Twitter)

@DBraveZ Feature is still being developed, so some details might change. Just stay tuned; we'll be sharing more info in the coming months! (Twitter)
Changes to Game Systems Will Come as a Free Patch
Our caring member TheLordOfTerror shared with us the great news that players won't have to buy the expansion in order to get the game system changes like the new Paragon system for example. Here is the info:
DiabloFans Quote:
Polish Diablo III Community Manager, Wuluxar, has confirmed that changes made to the game systems will be available to all Diablo III players as a free patch: http://eu.battle.net...c/7960896792#13
Translation:
Forum user: “It’s likely that when the expansion comes out (or shortly before that) there will be a 2.0 patch.”
Wuluxar (Blizzard): “Changes to the game systems will come in a patch preceeding the release of the expansion – they will be available to all players, including the ones that don’t have the expansion (of course for free).”
Gosh, I really want to see that cinematic! Crusadeeeer!

It has been said... that in the end of all things... we would find a new beginning. But as the shadow once again crawls across our world... and the stench of terror drifts on a bitter wind... the people pray for strength and guidance. They should pray for the mercy of a swift death... for I've seen what the darkness hides!
... I don't think it's safe here.
Hoping for Pink Chain Lightning in D3!

Don't know why people are going to complain about gear becoming obsolete.
1.) Current gear is shit isn't that what we've been complaining about?
2.) Lol if you thought any itemization changes would be retroactive. You'd be salvaging that bullshit anyways.
3.) Level cap increase - perfect way to put the shitty itemization behind us - your gear will just suck until 60.
Are you sure about 70 cap? No one say about it as far i know.
This is what they are saying however I'm a little skeptical on this as well, I'm sure we will know for sure shortly. However I still stand with my argument as to people shouldn't complain about their gear becoming brimstones. It was inevitable.
Mid-range class. I knew it! Fist of the heavens.. and shield-bash!
I'm incredibly happy about this, been wanting a proper paladin-class forever - Monk just didn't do it for me, but this... this will be GLORIOUS! ( <3 Kormac )

already hear someone crying "oh nooes, my 6k+ euro fury )="
also ok, items become useless (current items), what about paragon levels? how do you see gaining new levels, when people have different paragon levels (and some not have any at all)
Is it too much to hope either they'll just obliterate the Auction House or make a new mode called Casual to replace the current normal and create a new option between Hardcore and Casual where you don't lose your character forever when they die but you have no auction house access whatsoever? Just after playing through all classes to 60 it was hard not to reflect on the fact that the game had lost that thrill from the original and D2 where you'd get some new drop and be thrilled. Instead it all became about gear that you could sell and gear that you could salvage and basically nothing that ever dropped held a candle to what you could pick up cheap in the Auction House.
Either that or implement the system that you can't sell anything you equip. That would also help. Please tell me Blizzard is doing something about it, it really ruined the game on many levels.
If the loot-runs include a floor system where as u clear 1 dungeon to move up or down a floor to the next as u move through they increase in difficulty/drop rates and if you die you get dropped back down to floor 1 then i'll be happy. Also if there more than just random maps like I don't wanna just farm monsters again, I want things like turning a corner and suddenly the butcher + Diablo are standing there. That would just be awesome some actual rng stuff.
