Pausing the game for the others is awful ! And you can't go ahead, in another zone or to town alone. Why there's no split-screen, wtf ?!
You don't have to pause it. If you just have to do something for a few seconds/minutes you can just leave the controller. Their movement will yank you back to the group as they touch the edge of the screen.
Also split screen will make it so you see only a few feet in front of you. Pretty pointless.
Penny Arcade and Scott Kurtz Invade New Tristram
Scott Kurtz and the guys from Penny Arcade sat down and tried the console version of D3. They recorded the whole thing, which you can see below. Or just the highlights, collected in the first video. It's a full console playthrough way up to the Leoric!
Watch Gabe, Tycho, and Jamie from Penny Arcade team up with Scott Kurtz, creator of PvP Online, to try out the new console controls on the PS3 version of Diablo III.
Together, they track down Leoric the Skeleton King on a four-player rampage of demon-slaying, trash-talking, and ninja-looting. We don't want to spoil the video for you, but suffice it to say shenanigans are on the rise in New Tristram.
Watch the short highlight reel of their hijinks-infused playthrough here:
Activision Blizzard Earnings Call Q2
Activision Blizzard's earning call for Q2 was held yesterday and some new information was released for the company's game. The Diablo info is not among the highlights, but some of the other titles got some interesting updates.
Diablo 3 has sold over 12 million copies
Titan will not be subscription based and the game's internal revamp is still in the works
New information about Blizzard All-Stars can be expected later this year
WoW's subscribers lost are evened out between Asia and the West
Upcoming Updates on the Mystic
Artisans are a great way to provide an interesting gold and item sink for players, and we're working on the features the Mystic will bring to the game in the future. We'll be sure to provide updates about the Mystic when we can, so stay tuned. In the meantime we definitely encourage all of you to keep sharing your feedback on crafting, and we'll continue to pass that info along. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Feedback on the Paragon System
Feedback on what you'd like to see in a shared Paragon system is very much appreciated, and I encourage everyone to do so if you feel like it. There is a lot of potential in a system like this, and personally, I'm very excited about seeing how the new Paragon system turns out. Here's a couple of example questions you can ask yourself to help get you started.
- Would you like to see shared stats?
- What stats would you like to see shared?
If my high paragon level character died /or deleted, do I get those benefits if implemented?
We don't have any details to share regarding how the updated Paragon system will work in Hardcore mode, but as a fellow Hardcore player I'm curious about this, too. However, we'll be sure to post the specifics about how this works as soon as we're able to. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
