Yeah I've been on USWest with a fairly decent ping as well - I mostly want an oceanic server so that I can play with people in a timezone closer to mine.

I live in New Zealand so I really hope we get an oceanic server

I'm personally betting it has something to do with charms as well - it may be a method of fixing the overpowered effects charms had in D2. Isn't it true that we haven't seen any charms drop in the gameplay vids/screenshots yet?

I kind of imagine you may get a few slots for placing really powerful charms, then a few slots for decending grades of charms.

It could also be that charms vary in power depending on their position in the talisman, or that the effect they have changes depending on which charms are placed next to them.

So yeah is this thread even being updating anymore? Been a fair bit of info with the recent Blizzcast and the April fools stuff is newsworthy surely?

I'd mainly like to see more items added!

Possibly even more importantly - it would be nice to see some major bugs fixed like the inadequecy of the character screen (doesnt show correct damage etc) and possibly some extra info added like %MF, %FCR, %DR etc

My greatest fear is that when the game is released, there are tonnes of WoW un-fanboys in the game complaining that it is too cartoony and heaps like WoW.

I'm COMPLETELY serious by the way, stop ruining the game for everyone plz kthx.

I highly doubt that we are going to see 13 more cities - just the fact that they are on the map in now way dictates that they will be a playable region in the finished game. The same was true of D1 & 2.

I'd say 2 - 4 more cities maximum is a realistic expectation from Blizz.

You have a similar setup to me, and I'm not looking at upgrading before DIII unless I run into a large sum of money (unlikely)

THe only thing there that may have problems is your graphics card. I have a Radeon 2800 256MB, and (at high graphics settings) I do have some problems running some of the games I have installed, which are of a similar graphical level.

That said, I do not believe that the lower/medium level graphics settings for DIII will cause you any problems at all - although we do not know exactly what these will be just yet, but based on Blizzard's history of including a fairly broad range in graphic settings you should be ok.

I think there's a strong chance that even the artist himself has not thought as critically about the location he is painting as you guys have.

That aside I really doubt this would be Kurast

Hi guys I've recently been getting back into diablo2 - USWest Ladder. Trying to set myself up a mf sorc and hammerdin

FFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've also started another account on D2 recently

In all honesty, The in-game art style we've seen is based on a very limited number of act 1 dungeons.

After the massive stink that some players have been putting up, do you think Blizz are so retarded that they won't include some content that will satisfy their lust for dark settings full of sinister things that go bump in the night? Even despite the reasoning they've given, they are sure to find some places where they can design the gameplay in such a way that it satisfies this very vocal audience but is still fun to play.

How is it really going to be any differnet with auto stats to how it is in D2, where you put points in str until you can use your gear, and maybe some dex if you want max block, then everything else in vitality, no matter what class you play?

Persoanlly I'd rather have this formula automated for me in d2, and I imagine that is roughly what they'll be doing for me in d3.

Quote from "Psyxix" »

Considering the amount of loot that's gonna be made for the game and the time being put into D3's developpement I'm expecting around 20-30 runes.

As stated above about the complexity issue, I really wouldn't hang out for too many runes in the first release. Based on the skill trees we can see so far most characters do have close to ten moves, which means 60 abilities, then multiplied by 20 - 30 runes gives the developers 1200 - 1800 possibilities to design, balance, and render effects for. Realistically it's just not gonna happen, and I'd say that even adding a few more (2-4 more) could push development back as far as a couple of extra months. I guess it depends heavily on the complexity and originality they decide to involve with each spell effect & the uniqueness of the graphics they use.

I'd still expect only around 10 skill runes MAX, since it is much much more complex to build them from a dev standpoint than simple item runes & gems etc. Even with 10 runes there is an incredibly huge multitude of possibilities, so I wouldn't feel let down at all.

Additional skill runes is something I'd expect to see with content patches or expansions, however.

so approximately when is WWI?
