Speculation like this is very much appreciated. Although nothing official, it's like a mini update for D3 news as most of us come here daily. Cheeeers

So on topic, I am hoping for a LOT of random quests because I myself want to do every inch of the game and I think a lot of people found diablo to be like that, they wanted to find those side areas with gruesome sights and events. There will always be the people that speed through the game and they can just be pushed to the side. That's how they want to experience it.

Fingers crossed for a massive world and 500 quests.

As for rewards though, I surely hope they don't offer equipment like WoW did (choose from 4 reasonable items). I'd much prefer to be offered gold and be on my way with the exception of a select few quests that would offer a rare items useless to an npc. But again, not a selection of weaponry. In fact, I'd go as far as saying they should have a 1 item reward but even have that randomised to an extent (1 item from 30).

:-)

Torchlite looks good. I like how the players are like "this will be a true test of my skill" like they know they could fail. Unlike D3 now the heros seem godly :-\

I think it might be watered down for New Zealand too and if it is...

I'll buy the game on release but download it too. Install the downloaded one and use my bought cdkey. Should be right.

Q. Did they completely remove town portals from the game and if not, how are they still implemented and what functionality have they removed from them to stop people abusing them?

Q. Why haven't they looked at or accepted alternatives to the floating healing orbs. There's still a bunch of us anti out there. Complete bs...

Don't think anyone mentioned this before, the enemy bodies now stay a lot longer.
It also looks so polished and complete, I won't expect it any later than next year.

Male wizard looks good, desert looks very D2-like which is great, grid inv system good.

1 bad point though, some of the fights looked messy where the player was crossing the bridge and ran into a mob of fire enemies, they were blasting him with fireballs and you can't see whats going on, suppose that's realism though heh.

quest log was in this vid

wizard uses mirror image in this:

as well as the MF shrine

his face looks like he's singing opera. I find it a little odd his eyes and mouth are gaping open like he saw a bigger threat. Just me being a perfectionist and picky.............................

I wonder who can survive until Diablo 3 comes out..

Backpacks are fine. Just have an option untick "show backpack", pretty much just like on wow how you could show/hide the cloak and helm. Solved!

Suppose my greatest fear is that it will take too damn long to come out. If we're looking at 2 years away.. Well I'm 22 at the moment, going on 23. I'll be 24 or 25 when it finally comes. Will I have the time to commit? I don't know what the circumstances will be. We're all growing older here damn.

edit: i see others see the same way.

signed up :thumbsup:

Nt sure if mentioned before but I think the wizards beam is overpowered, over colored and too fast.
It should be a bit slower and sortof feel like it's ripping through walls maybe? but yeah just expressing opinion

im quite sure that if duping had surfaced in WoW it got quickly fixed.

Why would you spectate when you could play?

Well yes, but spectate would become more common further along the line where people are now pros and clan duels are organized. Obviously because each game has a 4 player limit, then the only way other members of the clan/guild can watch are spectators in spectate mode.

Also, the server host should even have the option of booting a player to spectate mode and inviting a spectator to join the current game.

WHAT!?!?!? Diablo 1 was 1,000,000 times easier than diablo 2 is. Anyone who plays them both should understand that. i have not had to turn back because soemthign was to hard for me. Heck, my brother took his amazon (with a frikkin bow) and stood in front of diablo with a long ranged weapon, and they are touching eachother here lol...no problem..easiest boss in the game. diablo in diablo 2 on the other hand...not so easy.

Well it depends on the time you played Diablo 1. A lot of us were young and less strategic. I imagine you grinded all the enemies and focused on levelling up before you encountered the butcher. Most of us for the first time, played single player and ran into the butcher unexpectedly. Even if we did clear all the levels up to him, he was still too strong. If I remember right, you had to be level 6-8 before you could really take him on.

That would of been so damm useful. Or even if they had a filter for choosing what type of game your looking for, like trade, pvp, questing, baal runs etc... Would of been VERY helpful

Great idea! So then on the game creation screen, we can set it to a trade game.
Then when players join the game they all start off in one place, such as trading markets in Lut Gullain or somewhere where we won't have to travel to the locations. Just saves a lot of time.

Then you add the filter to a search, ~"Trade, PvP, quest, free play"
Join whatever you're looking for.
