HEY there is one more Diablo related costume! Mistress of Pain!!!

Surely that is her.

Quote from "loesr" »They should have put in a "Lecture" power. He could just go on and on about who knows what until, unable to take it anymore, monsters begin killing themselves in great and violent ways! It would be the ultimate power.
Reminds me of college...
Quote from "milanv" »If they are just talking about games and not about the actual console then no. This xbox 360 is rubbish.
Quote from "mockery" »We've all heard how Blizzard intends to keep their games on the PC and will always consider themselves a computer gaming company, but in the past year they've hinted at how they'd be open to possibly having their games on a console again. IGN's The Daily Fix recently reported that Blizzard is in talks with Microsoft in regards to their next generation Xbox console.
You can see the Blizzard segment about 38 seconds into the video here:

Obviously, WoW has been Blizzard's bread 'n butter for a while now, but here's hoping that this means we'll possibly get to see Diablo 3 released on it as well.
So how many of you would be inclined to purchase the next Xbox if you knew some of Blizzard's future games were going to be on it? Would it influence your decision? Naturally, this is assuming the games turn out much better than Diablo port for the original Sony Playstation did.

Perhaps I am reading if out of context, but it just seems like it was a throw-away statement. Perhaps he means it.1. Depends on what you consider REAL information. I'm probably not supposed to say that BlizzCast 8 is almost entirely Diablo III related and should be out before the end of the month. It's going to be a good one and... oh no!
Also I personally love the bestiary updates, and you BETTER like the next one we have planned. Or else.

Diablo 1 wasn't the first RPG on the market, but I do agree that WoW took what worked from their previous games and built upon it. They are doing this with Diablo 3. If people won't play it just because it shows likeness to a game that was extremely successful then good riddance! Don't play the game - less competition!
How can you criticize a company for being successful then incorperating the best parts of that success into new games? It's a constantly changing dynamic. WoW will be WoW and Diablo 3 will be Diablo 3 regardless of similarities or differences.

Nice finds though

Yes, though it could incorporate other various statistics that are character-related such as the death count. Perhaps even how many times that monster has killed you.

I don't know how WoW is an abomination. It was successful. If it's not your thing then that's cool... but that game made it possible for Blizzard to do what it is now. Without that source of income they wouldn't be able to fund D3, SC2, a new MMO and another new game on top of that.

Legendary items are orange in WoW. Epic items are purple.
Enough with the WoW-Diablo parallels, it hurts my head. I say this because people talk like Diablo and Warcraft are the only games in the world. WoW is not the only game that uses that color scheme and it certainly took plenty from Diablo 2 to boot. It's an evolution progress. Take what works, leave what doesn't.
However, I would like to have orange or gold items like Diablo 2. I'd rather have rares take the different color and keep the gold.

You probably have the conficker virus. It's not picking it up because it won't allow your computer to update itself to detect it. The best thing I can suggest is to back up any files you don't want to lose and reformat your hard drive.

You know you have a good girlfriend when what both of you want to do is to be together in your free time. If you ever think it's a job or a hindrance then you're with the wrong person. I'm assuming you just haven't met that person you.
As a sidenote, sacrifice is a good thing to learn. Sooner or later you'll have to do it in a relationship and in all honesty you shouldn't be in one until you think you're able to. in other words, it's good to not have a girlfriend when you're in that state of mind.

You aren't taking a life when you eat eggs. The fetus is infertile. And second, the biggest reason to eat meat is for protein, and I eat meat because as of now it is the best food-source for those substances in a balanced meal. To me, the fact that it tastes good is a bonus. Sure beans and other various foods have protein but it is not as high in content as meat is.
Anyways, I don't mind free-pasture butcher because the animals have a free roaming life before being killed. Not to mention the fact that the cattle in question wouldn't exist if farmers didn't breed them for food. To me that is nothing like going out and killing game just because it tastes better when there is plenty of meat already on the market. I feel it's on the same vein as somebody justifying the killing of animals instead of shooting at targets because there's a higher entertainment value for them.
At the very least the animal shouldn't suffer.

Glad to hear you straightened it out.

No, that is incorrect. You clearly stated that:
You are not claiming that "only I think this." When you start including "people" in your opinions they become statements - and false ones when it is based on faulty information. When this happens I will clearly point it out as I did here in this thread. The rest of what you have said were statements based on your own opinions, that's great. I was also remarking on the fact that you're so willing to berate a series which you know nothing about. And yes, "sparkly vampires" is the factor that you bring up as to why you don't like this series and everything else you have mentioned has no great significance in the books themselves. This dynamic makes me skeptical and aggravated because you don't even bother to understand what you're rejecting.
The point is this: do whatever the hell you want. I'll just continue to shake my head because people are so quick to assume, to judge, and to act. If you want to not like something because of what you've heard other people say then that's fine. Do what you want.

Fixed.
Blackwing, if you're refusing to read this book because you think the Twilight world revolves around this pivotal factor then you really should stop arguing. I'm not trying to instigate anything, but the point that that is even in the book is to show the dichotomy of reality and myth. I would also like to point out that the vampire only shines in sunlight. This story is located in the wettest place in the continental US where it is under constant cloud-cover, so there is just about zero sparkling in the entire series.
You don't like how an archetype is tweaked? Well that's narrow-mindedness for you. The argument "I don't like this one aspect so the entire series sucks" is ludicrous. I don't see you harping on how Underworld tweaked Vampires or Blade. There is no one "end-all be-all" of anything. The limits to these fictional characters are limited only by one's imagination.

The countess has special loot tables for her rune drops, but she also has loot like any other monster as a previous post has stated. However, boss loot is ONLY boss loot. They are not on the same loot tables as the monsters, thus their drops have different mechanics. The mechanics that they follow are based on the same vein as that of the special rune drops.
I'll have to sift through years and years of discussion and notes about the game, but that is the bottom line.
As a side note, this is why Shenk/Pindle/Eldritch runs are the best way to get more consistent loot. These monsters are affected by your Magic Find percentages. Bosses have a higher chance to drop unique loot than monsters do, but it becomes more time-effective to fight super-unique monsters (like Eldritch, etc) for your magic find runs.
However, I think it's best to bring the discussion back to the Bestiary.

I truly mean no offense by this, but it's absurd to base your opinions on fabricated assumptions. This is a perfect example of opinions based on misinformation and, in all honesty, is rather upsetting.
People are so quick to jump on anything they hear - they're fickle at best. There is plenty of what people see as the basic archetype for vampires in the novels with a few twists that make it unique. This, perhaps, is a bit more of a trivial thing that most people don't give a lot of thought about, but the opinion you've made about the series isn't even based on what the series is actually about or what it has in it.
