I think after some careful consideration. I'm still ENTIRELY against bop, but boe is an interesting idea. When the items hit a certain item level ie : only top level uniques or even mid level uniques.. Whatever is giving you a huge advantage over other gear for you current clvl vs the ilvl might work as boe(you can be sure they will use it to budget out stats so that a set of items are equal quality stats, just reshifted just like d2 was you had tiers of items basically)
The trading of d2 was a huge thing, but I think if you look at this from the right perspective it could turn out well. I don't want gold to be the new currency, but I think hand me downs shouldn't work like that.. why? because it's quite simple, if there is no 'item sink' I'll call it, as time goes on, every item that drops will end up being circulated after use you might think that's not to bad at the time but a year into the game, theres 50000000 of a 'unique' of the exact same bow which detracts from the actual value of that item and any other item and as time progresses the only item sink is inactive characters / accounts which people don't play anymore. If it's a year in and those unique are still 'just' as hard to come by as they were 6 months ago your items are actually worth a lot more, because when people use them they become item sinks.
If your testing out builds, it would definatly be more costly but I'm sure some thoerycraft or even a forum visit could save you having to test in the first place. It'd promote a bit more community when people are looking for answers / questions about items, becuase I could equip this bow now use it for a week and find out I could've traded it for a better upgrade of my helm / shoulders OR I could've checked the value of the item before equiping it and had to make a choice. While choice isn't always good, I think it's great here to really make decissions about your equipment being as diablo is really about the gear is having to think about it really that bad?
it'd promote a more healthy item economy because rare drops are actually rare with BOE this also keeps the influx of rares at same level it was before it's just that as a consumer/trader your items are actually worth a lot more than they we're with the other system. Your friends can use your drops and you can use theirs, but if your same class you can't trade helms each week for fun it's a downside but also only a slight drawback. With only BOE in the system, I think it would balance the influx & use of rares quite nicely rather than the infinite of rares in and none actually leaving until the economy is bogged down. Even if the boe system cuts 1/2 or even 1/4 of the rares in circulation, your item is actually a lot more unique than before without any serious hits on the trading side.
Just to say it again, I HATE BOP but BOE implemented properly would have really good repercussions on economy.
Backseat game designers - we require more darker coloring! We require sharper details! WE REQUIRE MORE VESPENE GAS!
People that trust in teh Blizzards - Eh, I'm sure they'll make a great game regardless. They've already stated their reasons for the color anyway. They've never had a problem with creating an atmosphere before.
Look at the topic title, read what you've originally written - it was hardly about "Blizard listening to feedback". Back on topic.
For crying out loud! None is "against the color", we'd like Blizzard to utilize better color scheme.
It's the World of Sanctuary, it's gloomy by sheer definition.
The title is taken directly from their article I wrote that people should read and let it sink in that had an issue with the graphics, I didn't specifically quote it right out because I figured people would read the article first, but sorry for giving you a bit of credit ahead of time. Will revise next time so it's a bit easier for you to find in the article.
But don't forget this interview took place before all the commotion, petitions etc.
FTA: "I got answers in Paris last weekend before people were really asking the question."
I also asked Lee about how and when the dev team will take fan feedback into account. He wouldn’t go into specifics, but said:
“We’re very involved, because everyone’s very passionate about our games. Blizzard employees, we spend a lot of time actually iterating on [the game], and so in terms of the next phase, what we’ll try to do is a proof on concept on lot of different gameplay aspects. And we really want to get as much feedback as possible so that we can improve on the game and ensure that we meet Blizzard quality for our fans and for ourselves as players.”
Yes, read it. READ what you have written before calling anyone a moron or a troll: "Just an interview which has surfaced. Everyone complaining about graphics should take a long read, maybe even twice to let it sink in."
Learn some manners, dear child.
See when the interview was posted? Oh right it was today, call me a child. Let it sink in that your opinion matters I've updated the front for people exactly like you. You specifically went straight on the offensive with
Quote from the article.
Nihil novi.
The topic creator should learn to read comprehensively.
You misunderstood the intent but once again, just for you.

Morons are lacking to see what the interview is ALL about, this one at the bottom. Look how I got jumped all over for trying to inform people that in the next phase things will CHANGE.
Look at the very bottom, I'll QUOTE it for you. Since I'm being told to read, when clearly your just being trolls.

Of course, it's not in reply to your petition I never said it was? Right? no, he defended himself because he is a smart guy and knew it was coming. All of the people who want the graphics changed instantly attacked me for posting this, but freaking READ the quoted line. it's ABOUT FAN FEEDBACK they are GOING TO TAKE IT IN.
I hope you feel somewhat stupid by jumping all over me, when this is 'good' news for EVERYONE not just for one side of the fence or the other, but obviously your to busy caught up trying to make yourself right to see that.
no, look at the very bottom about the FAN FEEDBACK. Wow you really have no clue at all? Learn to read before trying to troll. Once again, READ IT then come back in here looking like a moron because you didn't read it all.
We've seen videos of the art design saying that they were happy with it. They were happy with Starcraft 2 before the fans told them no. There is always room for improvement, and what he says in this interview doesn't justify anything, its only an opinion, not a fact.
Most people saying we're insane don't even bother to learn anything we want, they think we're insane and that we want to delay the game another year because we're "unhappy".
We're happy with the game, why do you think we waited so long after the announcement to start talking about this? We're thrilled about the game, we just think it could easily be improved with less than a few weeks of work.
Your reaction just tells me you didn't read it all you just saw the title and instantly come on the offensive without any reading at all, look again come back and we'll go over it
I'm really glad they can justify their choice, it makes me even more happy that they went down this line as it shows they've clearly thought it out.
I would've tried to post this as news, but aparantly you can't, even though it says you can if an admin approves it With all the negativity created, this seems only fair to make it to the front page. This obviously needs more elaboration as angry trolls about the graphics seem to think it's against them. Blizzard are going to take in the feedback they recieve, this WAS done on the weekend but at the bottom it clearly states fan feedback is CRUCIAL to the process. This is GOOD news for people who LIKE IT and those who DONT. You know why? Because your negative feedback which is fine to give, will be taken under consideration which is good to hear right? It's what you wanted? For those who like the graphics it's great to hear that someone can sit down and say why they chose it, this isn't JUST FOR ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. EVERYONE SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY GIVE YOU AN INFORMED REASON ON THEIR CHOICE BUT THEN SAY FEEDBACK WILL BE USED. This essentially means that blizzard is on the right track, they have their own idea but we're already willing to take in anything which came after the show and I get attacked for bringing the news. The right track, doesn't mean ohnoes they won't change it but it'll end up better for EVERYONE.
I didn't organise this, but it's floating around on kotaku comments. Since I think only one side of the fence is really being made heard, I figure some exposure for the other guys wouldn't be so bad at all
I wish people wouldn't multiple post with new no points beside saying the exact same thing to try pad one side or the other.. I think if your gunna make multiple posts on this thread it should at least be bringing something new to the discussion, not just re-stating your point to try pad one side.
Another note is look at the votes, it's quite close.
