Quote fromSo Blizzard is looking for an art director, how does that affect the release day?
Its not so much that the specific job leads me to believe there is a lot of work still to do, but the fact that they're still figuring things out, and we all know that new hires takes some time no matter how far up the corporate ladder. Looking for a fresh set of eyes, especially to lead, could result in major changes which take time.
I have my fingers crosses that they're just adding and adding people to get things done quicker. :cool:

This idea would needs some tweaks. Maybe pvp type rewards would grant say +30% damage bonus on an axe vs players. This way the pvp items don't get too crazy for killing monsters. That should keep the softcore people happy.

Gold really should have a purpose in the economy. This way I could sell my Uber Item 1372 for 100 gold. I can then take my 100 gold and go buy Uber Item 1004 for 80 gold. No need to fill in the item value gap with stuff I don't need and to try and find someone with the particular item I actually want.
I'm not saying BoE/P will solve this, but I'd prefer a non-barter economy.

Irony. I sure do love it.

Blizz already said they will try to minimize or do away with PKs.
Arenas will allow for fighting when you want to. They could do random placement to avoid gearing for certain classes. They get rid of lvl 1 looters.
Maybe they could even show your win/loss ratio and grant you points base don the opponents you defeat. Like a ladder ranking system to let people fight their way up.
Hardcore arenas.. dare they? It would be fun to see these with loot allowances mandatory.

I'd like to see that system. This way you can't gear for a certain opponent and you can just join the arena rather than making dueling games. Just get randomly placed.
I'd hope they make pvp last longer as well, and the arena would keep you from jumping back into town. Keeping those lvl 1 looters away would be nice too.
HC arena... now that would be rather sick. Especially if you had to lose your items to the person.

Blizz has stated that they plan on negating PK's (player killing). Simple put, unwanted fighting between players. Sorry I don't have the link to the official post.
Not much other than that has really been released.

I'd say wait for E3 before expecting any sort of big news break anytime soon. It starts July 14th I believe.
E3 doesn't even guarantee we'll hear much if anything really.

Hmmm... Brendan? Whoever this is you must actually know me.

To be honest, the story line is greatly important to me, but random chaos would be annoying. I know it matters a lof to certain people but damnit, I'll speed click those dialog boxes! haha

Haha, we all knew that the sorc wasn't going anywhere. You can't not have a pure caster in a game.
We WILL have pure combat (barb), pure caster, and ranged (bow, javs etc.) I guarantee it.

Even with some items like this they could sue it parallel to your idea of BoE items being unequipable at a cost, just not allowing it on certain items.
They should really lower the amount that is dropped as well as provide multiple uses for gold.
Revamp gambling, allow gold donations for certain in game events to occur such as with soj donation, paying for sockets like the D2 quest did so you didn't need to run another character to the quest, maybe also a personalization that could be bought etc etc.

No I don't mean it will change.
I meant that say when the 10k are found blizz has made a different item to be found instead of it with a different name, stats, the whole ten yards.
Maybe they could program it so that you trigger a 10k drop and it automatically is set to your class type so you dont get a BoP barb item on your witch doctor.

I hope that Blizz keeps that in mind for D3 so that pvp battles aren't about 1 hit kills, lag, and luck. I'd like to see manipulation of multiple skills used to kill someone such as sticking them in a bone prison, popping a poison in them as you start to use your direct damage.
I can't wait to ehar more on that topic.

This of course is assuming I had to keep it. I know I'd turn around and sell it on ebay for like 50k... Hell, maybe I could claim it as my own and sell copies lol
