I say this honestly, I have nightmares about WoW's style. One day the world will realize how much of a gimmick it is.
I totally agree that it is a gimmick.
www.dictionary.com defines a gimmick as "an ingenious or novel device, scheme, or stratagem, esp. one designed to attract attention or increase appeal"
And before you try to say that the gimmick you are referring to is.. to equip or embellish with unnecessary features in order to increase salability, acceptance, etc...
Everything they have put in the game thus far has been to create smoother game play and is in no way unnecessary extra just to make the deal more aethetically pleasing.
This OMG WoW cannot affect D3 in a positive manner BS has to stop. They are different games, deal with it. Good, working ideas will get crossed over but that doesn't mean they are tricking all you guys into playing WoW using D3 as a gateway drug.
Relax, they aren't out to get you, just enjoy the game you've been trolling for for so long.
Big cities are only practical if you have people to fill them with. Multiple useless npcs are well, useless, and as the game is gonna be 4-6 players, I highly doubt there is use for anything bigger than Lut Gholein (sp?).
sockets. All things the same as DII : People should be able to buy a socket for 25,000*Item Level. So you have a Maul that is lvl 60, and you want to add 2 sockets : $3,000,000. A piece of quilted armor that is lvl 1 : 4 sockets for $100,000. That seems fair, so long as you don't have those limits to how much gold you can have.
You can't attribute the Stash to the Bank as MOST RPG's have some kind of item storage in town. I think that the stash should be potentially limitless, perhaps if currency is valuable in Diablo III then make it progressively expensive to buy more slots. In terms of thinking about it practically, I'm sure I could buy more space to store my stuff in if I had enough money in the Diablo world. Inventory space, however, is a different story. Here's a snap of the char screen with bag slots highlighted:
I don't know if you realize this, but I was being facetious to prove how ridiculous the complaints that "OMG wow had this so it sucks!!!1" are.
Quote from "Zarx" »
I think that anytime a WoW-related feature is instated into D3, there is a negative connotation if somebody doesn't like that idea. Whether or not the dislike stems from the actual feature or the fact that its similar to something in WoW depends on the person. I understand MANY of you hate WoW here, and fine I'm not defending it, but there are a lot of good ideas in WOW that would work in Diablo 3. You can be loathe to admit it but it's true.
I think people need to realize that good ideas are taken from game to game because they are good, not so you can feel nostalgic.
Ninja Edit: Zarx I'm not trying to pick on your posts I just happened to quote you from two unrelated comments and didn't even realize they were both by you.
Seems like a pretty shabby role if you are playing by yourself. Although this game can be a team game it isn't emphasized like an MMO. A healer class would find itself trying to swim against a tide if it was implemented.
On the other hand I can easily see every class having a group heal aspect (barbarian health shout etc).
SC requires much more work because you have to balance the races to fight each other because it is a competitive game..
In diablo 3 Although balance is good you don't have to be as pin point about balance because it is a pve game mostly. This means that you could hypothetically see this game done before SC2 because they don't have to go through it with a fine tooth comb to make sure zergs don't stop the other base units etc.
I'm pretty usre it's just if you do decent participation than you get loot, it isn't best damage gets best loot etc. I'm just saying you can't bring a lowbie and feed him gear if he hits the guy once.

Oh dear me, I hope they don't reimplement the "Stash" system, cause that was WAY TOO MUCH like the banks in wow.. None of that.
There better not be a horadric cube either, WAY too much like extra bags...
Come to think of it, we should only be able to hold one item at once because inventories remind me of wow.. God I hate wow...

Get what I'm saying?
It isn't amazingly likely but it is possible.
