I wouldn't call it pointless. It's a reminder that there are many people out there that want HC in d3. That it should not be something they just add... but something they improve upon.
The Developer Panel stated that loot will be dropped individually for each player. Anything you see on the screen is yours.
They were talking about BOSS drops. It is possible that ONLY on bosses does everyone get their own loot drops. Which makes sense to me. If everyone gets drops for all WORLD LOOT there will be too many good items dropping everywhere. Ruining the economy.
Seeing as they've been in production for quite some time with this game (3-5 years on and off) I'd say they are about 65-70% done. We'll see it around end of year 09, early 10
I agree... you can tell they have been working on this for a long time... the textures are very outdated. The art style needs to be different, as well. Darker... more sinister.
Please learn to read the entire post. IGN had misinterpreted what Blizzard said... and made it seem like Hardcore MAY NOT be in the game... when if fact it was a mistake... and they said it PROBABLY WILL be in the game.
according to the actual interview (which I just heard now) The blizz employee says that when a boss dies, each player gets an individual loot drop just for them. I'm hoping that means only for bosses, and the rest is FFA.
Else we will have way too many good items, which will probably ruin the economy... unless they shaft the drops of everything.. which would ruin our experience.
Limited respecs. Maybe one full respec when you hit a high level... or shortly after choosing a skill in case of mistakes. Anything more will ruin the game.
if at all, they should be limited to fixing mistakes... as someone has already mentioned maybe a short time after you choose your skills you can take it back. Or maybe once you hit a somewhat high level you get a full respec.
Choose how the loot should be distributed in groups.
Blizzard stated at WWI 08 that you will recieve your own individual loot drops on a BOSS. They did not confirm anything otherwise as far as all world loot drops....as far as I know.
I prefer loot to drop for each seperate player. As Mythos/Hellgate: London is. It works great. Those with more Magic Find (which I hope is in d3, btw) receive their rewards for wearing it without having to worry about others taking the items.
Plus... more items for everyone!
If not this... then the same as it has always been. FFA.
Secret levels are definitely a great idea... but be original please. We don't need cows again. Do something innovative. Maybe more than just 1 kind of monster spawns. My idea for the Hellgate:London secret level was the London Zoo. Where all of the animals were corrupt and demonized. Which isn't necessarily innovative... but its a new idea. New ideas are good.
I don't believe they would completely change the art direction at this point. We only saw a bit of the game.... and I liked it. They made a great point recently that it is a progression... it gets darker and darker as you go along in the game. The later levels have more of an impact this way. That makes a lot of sense to me and I hope they stick to it.
Nice to see some replies, and a confirmation that they do take our opinions into account.
As for death to bunnies (critters) ... I am very big into animal rights/conservation/etc... and I think being able to kill critters in a game is really fun. It is a VIDEO GAME. If you take influences from a MATURE (17+) game and reflect that onto your real life, you have major issues already. None of which are the cause of playing any video game.

Please no WoW style loot distribution.
What do you think?
Thanks!
