Good changes, the lock on the chests were nothing more than an irritation. You just had to keep your key stack full to open them.

Even in d2 the sandboxes outside are almost the same..only the damn entrance to the area and out of it changes.. so you just get pissed off searching for it.

I like the way its gonna be already.

And thank god no runewords..

Oh my fucking god......
No more player enabled pvp? WHY? All they have to fix is fucking tppk for god's sake.
This is total bullshit.

There goes half the fun from the game after beating pva 100 times.

At least we don't have to worry people trying to find out how to cheat like now.. there has been many many other ways than just tppk to exploit the system.

You are dumb.
This means that you can't hostile other people. So in order to pk we will probably have to create special games(arena kind of games) for pvp only. Which is gay.

This is wrong, all they needed to do was add a timer to stop tppk, which is the only real exploit in d2's pvp system.

Only? There has been many and it took a long time to fix them.. timeout hacks etc. Even maphack is a exploit to pvp.. you hostile someone and know just about exaclty where your target is. And whatabout these farcasts etc..

I don't miss the pk option at all.. no one has succeeded to kill me in legit ways so I don't really care.. it wasn't anymore exciting to play when you got hostiled.. just watched the map a bit and went town if someone happened to find you.

There was a MUD I played where if you died you were sent to nether world, where you had to sense/find your souls, good and evil part of them. When you merged with them your exp loss was cut down severly and you were sent back to the world.

I think this type of approach could be nice for softcore, you either spend some time finding the souls or lose a lot more exp. The nether world could also be visually entertaining.. you could find some old heroes lost souls there etc.

Yeah felt kinda stupid to fight the lord of terror the allmighty diablo.. while having the battle to save the world you say to diablo "wait a sec I go town to get some more potions"

about same thing was BVB in 1.09 when there was huge life leech on every barb and in hc duels where people used potions too it was almost endless duels sometimes and eventually the potions ended and some were chicken enough to not continue because they ran out of pots .P

I love this new way of things that probably make the possible threat, botting harder.

Battlenet and game channels:

To have a more unite feeling with the game world and the other players the old battle.net channel system needs an improvement. In diablo2 we have Trade channels, class channels and so on.

In the lore section at d3 website Caldeum used to be a great trade city, so howabout in diablo3 you can join a Trade Game instead of a channel. This game would be only for trading in a trade city. As you said d3 could support way more than 8 players per game so maybe these trade games could hold up to 20 players at a time. If you are planning some sort of auction house, maybe it would be operated from the trade cities. This would make the trading easier. No need to search for someone in the channels for trade and no need to create a game for that. This would also require access to your account stash(hope we will have it) in the trade city so you can easily show off what you are offering.

Same kind of idea could be used for PVP game and perhaps for a guild hall if there will be a guild system.

Trading completely via chat would of course be the fastest and easiest way, but as many D2 players have stated, they like the social interaction that comes from the trading in game.

Quest idea:

If I remember correctly you said you had ideas of repeatable and random quests that would appear in every game. This is a great idea and now I suggest a type of quest that could fit to one of these.

Depending on your character level and what difficulty levels you have already beaten you would be offered a quest in some of the towns. This quest would be "Save The City/Town", which objective is to clear out some or all (maybe 90% of monsters, not den of evil v.2 "one monster remaining") the areas near the town or the Act(if we gonna have acts). The idea is to encourage people to clear out bigger areas rather than just 1 or 2 unique monsters or bosses. The character would be rewarded with some powerfull items or maybe same kind of thing as WoW has, Badges. So when you collect the badges long enough by clearing out areas you would be able to buy somewhat powerfull items from Vendor (not too powerfull like it is in WoW, making almost everything else obsolete).

This kind of quests and the badge thing could be nice for players that are not so lucky. They could continue to repeat them while killing monsters from the area they would gain some loot and if not they would eventually be able to buy some upgrades.

One: No it doesn't look like WoW you ignorant kid.

Two: If pokemon was made by blizzard and it had the gameplay for d2 i would not complain and I would be happy. So yes it does make sense "rofl". And does D3 look like pokemon? no so stfu that was a stupid argument on your part.

Three: You should be more worried about gameplay and online (pay to play and battle.net 2 features)

what he said!

Live streams probably work better for me as I live in Finland and have no satellite dish.. if that would even be possible to get the signal here or pay for the channel or whatever :=) Loved the WWI08 live stream.

Going to blizzcon or WWI at some year would be extremely nice. Just have to wait until the school is over and I get some job so I can afford it

blah not another cow level.. figure out something new please. and farming levels there? Please god now. its not apart of the game and story it should be just for fun one time per difficulty.

Send items with whisper? A mailbox would be better. Maybe he meant that if you are in chat you could do it by whisper so you wouldn't have to create game to send items.

I really hope no expansion in the first 2 years of D3.. in D2 it just felt like I had to repay the game when it came so soon and added so little, pretty much everyone was satisfied with the 4 acts and 5 classes back then and many dissappointed where the game went after expansion. 2 classes and 1 act. Had they made another year of it and come up with more stuff I would have been more satisfied I guess.

Well anyways just waiting for D3 and taking everything out of it when it comes before expansion. I guess this time they will make the expansion a bit better!

Where to begin:

- LAG FUCKING;
- trading is complicated and broken due to economy;
- everyone is rushing all day long;
- everyone is using a cookie cutter build;
- everyone is using twinked characters with uber gear already;
- PK'ers in Hardcore;
- loot system;
- sharing items between characters is a huge pain via mules;
- characters disappear if you don't play them long enough fucking gay.

No, Multiplayer has huge motherfucking lag. Single player doesn't. Multiplayer only lets you play when you have good internet. Single player lets you play whenever you feel like it.

And all this will of course be in Diablo 3 and battle.net 2.

When diablo 2 released it had huge lag, they weren't aware how many people would start to play it.. it took some months and the lagging pretty much ended. After that there was some lag spikes in the peak times, but generally it was great. Only recently when the hackers figured a way to dupe items with lagging the servers the game has gotten those huge lags again.

You are speaking of this lag like it would be in every god damn multiplayer game. "EVERYTHING THAT IS INTERNET LAGS" yea right. I have better latency to D2 servers than Wow servers. D2 about 15-30, wow is 80-250. All the games I play online, works just fine with under 100 ping as average.. I wonder why is that?

- You don't need to trade if you don't want to. I trade like once in a month with my characters or something.
-PK's don't affect you in hardcore if you play in password games.
-Cookie cutter builds effect you how?
-I agree with the rushing part but thats not community's fault, its the game mechanics that allow it.
-Starting with a new ladder doesn't allow you to twink.. and no one is even rushing then.
-Loot system don't affect you if you play in password games
-Muling sucks yeah but in D3 I hope they figure out something else. And in single player you can't mule at all.

There are plenty of great SP focused games, such as Baldur's Gate and Gothic, too bad you are too stupid to play them. Single Player games mostly have a better story, too.

These are great SP games.. D2 is bad very bad. Even in battle.net I have many times quit the game because most friends have done that too.. only aspect in D2 is multiplayer. I played single player of it thru 2 times when I didn't yet have internet.

But I hope in D3 the single player part is more enjoyable.. those repeatable and random quests and stuff should bring a lot more to singleplayer.

D2 random maps are just piece of squares rotated 90-180 degrees.. it's no brainer to find the exit.. it is just annoying. I like act1 where there are roads you can follow, act2 is just annoying you just run around the edges trying to find the exit.. In the end you will end up farming the last area baal or CS that are static areas ( only small variations in Cs)

Im not to fused with static environments i prefer to have to thik each time i go into a new area or the same area at another time.

Think or just brute force find the exit by running by the edges, or get lucky and find exit in 2 seconds.. pfft. If they do it well, nice static open large areas with random dungeons.. I think it will be a lot better than D2 or TQ system There will be random events in the maps that will make them different every time you play..imo thats a better idea. In D2 you didn't really get to feel the world with the sandbox maps.

How do you fit halberd in a backpack anyways?

for looking like a cartoon based story game...

Donald Duck adventures? lol who the hell is this idiot?

I fear that a large majority of Diablo Fans will continue to play Diablo 2 and give up Diablo 3. I wonder if Diablo 2 will have more users then Diablo 3 lol.

Lol yeah right. D2 is so shitty these days. No matter what D3 looks like(it looks good now) it will be a lot better.

edit. early morning, read fast didnt see smiley at the end
