    Astion posted a message on Would Removing Crit Chance for PVP work?
    I've seen players hit creatures for over TEN OF MILLION, while a healthpool is at 300k at best?

    Even a damage reduction of 90% would still be 1 Million, (which is what most players would receive after mitigation)

    And would it be fun to see PvP players getting hit for a few thousand after seeing millions of damage on PvE?

    The damage numbers are out of control imo, especially for PvP

    Guys, just sell your gold on the RMAH while you can.

    RoS isnt balanced at all! They will most likely further balance the crafting/ enchanting etc. according to the gold income. I've seen a blue post somewhere stating the numbers weren't final at all. So yeah, you're probably set if you got some hundred million gold. I'd convert the rest to euros while still possible.

    Astion posted a message on More then one expansion, Hurray!
    Im pretty sure they've talked about multiple expansions multiple times in multiple interviews. Multiply that by X, and you will have a predictions on how many expansions there will be (X cannot be a negative, 0 or 1) D:

    They will most likely increase the gem drop quality by quite a bit. I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped star and or reduced the amount of gems needed to upgrade to the highest level.

    Astion posted a message on Diablo 3 reaper of souls paragon chart 101-200
    The chart uses the current experience and is used to calculate the rest? I am pretty sure its as reliable as your lottery numbers being picked by your local fortune teller.

    As said in an interview, the numbers are most likely going to be changed.
    They are unrepresentative, as the EXP gain in RoS is unknown.

    What do they mean/what could Adventure Mode be?
    Could be a mode where you can teleport to any act, without cutscenes or dialogues. It would also bring the features "Loot Runs", "Bounties" (mistery) and "Exploration" (mistery)

    Out of these names I would presume that Bounties are repeatable quests, with perhaps daily rewards? Such as, Kill X (champion) monsters of X Type -> Go into the normal world and slay these monsters as opposed to doing loot runs all the time.

    As for Exploration... A wild guess would be, clear The den of Evil! Another incentive to go back to the normal world.

    I would try to find a balance between the normal world and the lootrun worlds, if that makes any sense...

    That panic face :)

    Great interview, many of these questions were straight from players. Instead of the usual; "can you tell us whats new ...zzzz"

    Josh Mosqueira as D3 game director puts a big smile on my face. He sounds like a clever guy that really knows what the Diablo community wants.

    Possibly the most important announcement of all:

    "There's a lot of features we haven't talked about yet, we had to pick and choose, there's so many features of this expansion; you've just got a taste of what's coming in Reaper of Souls." - Kevin Martens, Lead Designer.

    I'm not convinced there is any really big features left to announce, I'm guessing he is hyping up information like actual skill and rune changes for existing classes, he hinted (directly spoke of in a way) that exterior zones are entirely random now, not just the insides of them. Something like graphical indicators for full set bonuses like in D2, and other not so huge but more QoL type information.

    - Pvp
    - Dueling
    - Requirements for Lootruns
    - Crafting upgrades, what use do those white items have?
    - All classes upgrades

    - SECRET LEVEL 2.0 ????? I LUST FOR BLOODLUSTY BOVINES!

    I am actually surprised no one asked about a new secret level. I mean, it was a core system in D2 that many people loved to the end of the world. If they want to go back to D2 as much as possible, they will need to include a proper non-rainbow secret level.

    Quote from Emmo

    I'm actually really disappointed. One more act, comparable to act 2, so it'll be an hour long, two at the very most. One extra class. And a new artisan (which was going to be in front the start anyway).

    That doesn't feel like an expansion at all, it feels like a content patch. Very underwhelmed.

    1 extra act, and a million ways to replay.

    Quote from Astion

    I wouldn't put my money on that paragon change to actually happen.

    On twitter Blizzard also said they might change some details around, which I presume are for balancing purposes. I therefor wouldn't be surprised if, for example, only the highest 2 characters are added up, or the total experience is used. Or even more limited variations.

    Are you kidding? It's already been confirmed that the paragon change IS happening, and they've stated in the past that current paragon progress would be taken into account. Until we know the actual rate of exchange (exp or levels) I think it's fairly safe to say that any progress you're making now will be taken into account in the future. I would doubt there is going to be any accelerated exchange rate, so it doesn't really make any sense to "stock up" on paragon levels.

    Personally I think the only thing that makes sense is for the paragon exp you have to be dropped directly into the new system, so unless you're already 100, get exp wherever it's fastest for you

    I was not discrediting the new paragon system, I am wary of the tiny details. As announced on Twitter, Blizzard is still working on the details. Personally I don't think that people with the extreme 10x 100 paragon will be ahead a lot.

    If you look closely, you can see that nephalem valor starts stacking whenever he kills an elite pack of monster. Keep in mind he is playing as a lvl 30-40 something crusader on normal mode.

    On live you need to be 60 to start stacking nephalem valor.
