Shiniku posted a message on Location similarities in Diablo II and IIILet's read this post with one extra comma:Posted in: News
"Diablo: @Midnightact We'll have five classes and no we're not creating the entire world in. We're visiting specific locations, similar to Diablo II."
I think that's what they meant. Not that they'll be visiting locations specifically similar to the ones in Diablo II (which would be a pretty poor choice, in my opinion) but that they are letting us playing in several select locations as opposed to the whole world (like in Diablo II.) -

Shiniku posted a message on Why Jay Wilson Lets His Daughter Play Diablo 3.Posted in: News
Indeed. I read this interview like Ron Burgundy, can't help but make everything sound like a question.Quote from "Eldritch" »That? was an? amusing interview?, thanks for? sharing.
Anyway, yes, interesting read. I think censorship sucks, and personally wouldn't ever want to tone down gore for audiences like Germany or Australia, but, that is kind of cruel to the people who live in those places who want to play the game, even if it is wildly censored.
As for his daughter playing D3... my first PC game was DOOM, followed by the original Diablo. It never really phased me, I turned out alright, right? Yeah, sure, let's go with yes. But it is refreshing to see a parent that actually does pay attention to what they're children are playing, instead of those parents who let their kids play M games and then get mad at the developers when it turns out there's blood in it. -

Shiniku posted a message on Bashiok Explains Monk Class Not From 'Hellfire'.Posted in: News
I wouldn't be so harsh on people. I'm sure a lot of them realized Hellfire wasn't developed by Blizzard, but that doesn't rule out the possibility of this class being a continuation of that one, and also just because it had a different developer doesn't always mean it's non-canon (in this case it does, but not everyone is aware of that.)Quote from "Kazamu" »This is one of the things that really annoyed me when I was reading web articles regarding Diablo III's new class. Everyone always talks about / compares with the "old" Monk from Hellfire, but if you look at the Hellfire disc (and/or box), there is NO mention of Blizzard. Rather, what you'll find is that Sierra, NOT Blizzard, developed Diablo: Hellfire. Blizzard only gave them the okay to make it.
Additionally, another way people could have found this out is by checking Blizzard's website. Nowhere can support for Diablo: Hellfire be found. This is actually kind of disappointing though, because as it turns out Sierra hasn't really been supporting it either, so with all of the Diablo patches, Hellfire has gotten rather bugged as a result.
It is kind of clear right off the bat that these monks share nothing but the name, but I still wouldn't be too harsh on the people who didn't realize Hellfire was non-canon. -

Shiniku posted a message on New Diablo 3 Character Class: The Monk!I hope these guys aren't just like, healing monks, because... well, Diablo isn't an MMO. It will be cool if they have hand to hand skills, maybe some paladin-esque auras or whatever.. some good offensive stuff, is what I mean.Posted in: News
Just watched videos: yeah, looks like it'll be like what I hoped - cool. Still, not as cool as I'd like. I'm tired of robes and rags, give me some fucking armor! -

Shiniku posted a message on Has the Tetris Inventory and Magic Find Returned?Woo! I am thrilled. Don't care too much about MF.. I did use it in Diablo II, but it never struck me as fun to do nothing but farm.Posted in: News
I love that the tetris inventory is back though, at least in some form. I mean, it looks like there are only two sizes of item (one slot, and two slot) so it's not exactly the same, but still a nice throwback to my precious memories. And will probably be easier to organize. -

Shiniku posted a message on Diablo III Bestiary Update- Return of the Fallen!Posted in: News
Well yeah. And I hope they do the color changes in DIII as well.Quote from "Pjanoo" »Ofcorse, because they wanted the fallen to become stronger when you advance further into the game. And they obviously had to change the appearance a bit too so they just changed the colors.
I'm just saying maybe Smudge had a point, and the color choices weren't just arbitrary for a need to make a new color, but maybe it had something to do with where they were located. -

Shiniku posted a message on Diablo III Bestiary Update- Return of the Fallen!Posted in: News
Weren't the Fallen ones in Diablo more greyish/purplish black? And they were under the monastary.Quote from "Dauroth" »They were always red! I think the color is just fine! :thumbsup:

Also worth noting that the fallen in Diablo II are dark (black) under the monastary.
So, I think it's a legitimate gripe, you could argue a case that the color of the fallen ones was at least somewhat based on their location. -

Shiniku posted a message on Diablo III Bestiary Update- Return of the Fallen!Cool, an update! Cool, Fallen!Posted in: News
..and it's all downhill from there. I don't know. The hounds, lunatics, and overseers are okay additions I guess, but why? I don't need any more types of fallen really, I'd rather see other new enemies, and have them be mixed up. Also, how many bursting fat guys does the game need?
They're also a bit damn bright. But so is everything I guess.
Another thing, the page mentions them being bright red.. we sure seem them bright red.. does any of this mean that we won't be seeing any different colored versions of them? I liked being able to see a few different colored variants on them, and then once you're out of act I you don't really see them again.
I mean, with all this time they're spending fleshing them out with new types of fallen, are they going to try to have different levelled versions appear throughout the game? Or have they gone to this much trouble on the enemies further in the game as well?
I don't know, I'm speculating too much, happy to see an update though. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

I'm also kind of surprised you're making it through with DPS that low. have you used the auction house to look for gear at all, or are you only using things you find yourself?

So yeah. The challenge is there. Blizzard just didn't want to make it so that new players were totally turned off by the game because of a very hard first difficulty. Try hardcore if you want some added difficulty.
Also, something I've noticed on the wizard especially.. it's pretty easy to get a high DPS, kill everything onscreen, and feel godlike, but the second your gear gets just a little outdated you're gonna get creamed. Other classes stay a bit more consistent I think,

I haven't used Blizzard or Meteor much at all. Explosive blast was useful for awhile but I've changed my build around and definitely don't see the point anymore.

Maybe they've got nothing better to do with their 10 selling slots and just want to give people a laugh.

The item you need is a 'Page of jewelcrafting". there's a similar looking page for Blacksmithing, perhaps that's what you found.
I'm still in normal, I haven't found any. But I bought some on the auction house, they're pretty cheap. I hear they're pretty common in nightmare.

Really, when people say the game doesn't feel like diablo, it is probably for one of two reasons:
1. It doesn't feel like Diablo to them. Maybe they played the diablo games in a different way than you, and maybe
they felt something you didn't while playing them, and perhaps that truly is not present when they play diablo III. So what? Doesn't stop you from enjoying the game.
2. they don't actually remember what playing Diablo felt like.

Also, Den of the Falling might be a reference or a nod to something but i don't think it actually appeared in another game.
Sure, some characters reappear.. but personally, I like that. There are lots of new characters too (Angels? Belial, Azmodan?).

I know it didn't look like Diablo (although I think it does look amazing)
Removing the ability to pick your attributes and what skills to level was one of my favorite aspects of diablo
So I was pessimistic for awhile. Not enough so to stop me from getting the game. But when I actually started playing - I'll be damned if it didn't feel like Diablo.
There are certain changes I really dislike, but overall I love the game, and it gives me the same feelings of excitement as past Diablo games.

And Blizzard happens to make games that are pretty popular.
