so we'll definitely have something like that. Sadly, diablohead.com was taken =P
Yeah, at BlizzCon 2010 I was talking to the wowhead guys about doing a diablo db, so they went home and bought diablohead before I could even look, >.>
Sounds great! Will we be able to know what the runes do or will it be random? Or hasn't been finalized yet?
We're not sure just yet if they're sticking with the system they've had or if they're implementing the new one, but either way, we'll be able to have some kind of calculator for it.
I would like to see something like Arreat Summit (Like unique item and variety of stats of all possible) + 3D model view like in wowhead (as diablofans is part of the curse network, i think there no problems getting people that made that thing to do same for D3), screenshots will be posted by players and You might consider some program like wow head client that gathering information from players and adding it to database (it will be hard in terms of blizzard locked all modifications and online-only, but i think it will be doable).
Mhmm, that's what the Wiki is here for. Unless we also do an item database, in which case this kind of stuff will be on the item db as well.
Basically, you'd choose a class and then you'd be able to select your skill as well as drag 'n drop runes like the game works, and it'd show you what you get, the stats of the skill with each rune, as well as what level is required for your specific skill/passives.
we would still have to gather the images of the 18 tiers x ~7 slots that can be dyed x 5 classes x 2 genders and find and preview each dye color ~20. Then we have to edit each image by cutting and cropping out each item from the paper doll and in-game model. so just ~25,200 images.
But once all of that is done, then a simple program to select each image should be simple enough
If they're all on the Wiki or an Item Database, it'll be easy, ;).
Actually, thinking about it, I think there's going to be a preview system for dyes within the game. Though, that would mean that making a tool for that would be simple. I dunno, we'll talk about it, :). For sure though, the Skill/rune combination calculator and Gem Calculator.
Right off the bat, we're planning on a Skill/Rune calculator, and a Gem Progression Calculator (shows how many gems you need to get to all levels following).
I would like to see a tool where you could try the looks of different armor and dye combinations,,,, purely as a visual character planner which I think would be a good gimmick.
Item/dye "calculator" would be cool too. Maybe with Gems and Enhancements too.
Eventually yes, we'll turn all of these calculators (Sill, Gem, Item, whatever else) into one big Character Planner... That's the plan, ;).

Yeah, we're tossing this around right now, ;).
