    About that, the devs said that they're experimenting with "random" events. I don't see how they can be that random.. for example..

    Lets say the Thousand Pounder is one of these random events. The map has to have the atmosphere and the specific area for the event to occur. Therefore, that event will ALWAYS happen on that specific map. There may be a couple more maps of that area that have the Thousand Pounder event and many more that don't.

    That isn't a "random" event to me.

    They could make it more "random"-ish by making that map with the place for the Thousand Pounder not always trigger. So you could get that map, go to the location, and nothing happen.

    It all boils down to the fact that nothing can be random in programming. Even if you could write a program that could write it's own map layouts and events; it still had to pick those variables from a list.

    I think that's what they meant is that the 1000 pounder/chest of death/any other random event is going to be randomly generated anywhere in any level so it won't be in the same place, you wont know you are coming close to it until you see him being created and have to kill him. Not in a specific place but anywhere on the map.

    No. You're assuming that because YOU think energy means mental energy, that Blizzard intended this as well.

    I've just done my research, and in Diablo 1, the stat for mana was in fact, labelled magic.

    The stat for Diablo 2 is labelled energy, obviously. This means that one can assume this represents the energy of the character, and not just the casting ability.

    This being said, its impossible for you to prove that "energy" (in Diablo 2's context) means only mental energy. This is my last post on the subject (i've proven my point)

    I understand what you mean now :P Kinda dumb argument considering that neither one can outright win because I think it is and you think it isnt. The only reason that I thought it was magic was because of stamina being a part of vitality. After considering it, it would make sense to make it all kinds of energy because of the very choice of wording that blizzard used to change it from magic to energy because in diablo 1 the chars never had any phyisical attacks that required it. I would just personally prefer it to mean magic because being able to leach energy never made any sense at all. And the fact that Magic and Mana just seem to go along together :P

    And you can say this on what grounds? (Where does Blizzard say "energy" means mental energy?)

    Blizzard has always meant this. Energy has always meant mental energy. If it meant energy to move your muscles wouldnt Stamina in diablo 2 be influenced by Energy not Vitality.

    Edit: I don't quite understand the point you're trying to make. Stamina is directly influenced by Vitality, as is life, and Mana is directly influenced by Energy. Who's to say what energy means? The universal meaning of energy is the capacity for vigorous activity, or available power. This holds true for both melee and caster classes, in my book.

    I was taking it out of the context of the game. Stamina is your ability to move your muscles. The Energy that is used in the game is mental energy. In the game Energy only meant Mental energy. I get this from diablo 1 where you would only lose mana for your spells and back then Energy only meant for spell use.

    Stamina is physical energy, energy is mental energy.

    Thats what I meant. Using the same word Energy and energy in the same sentance kinda screws with your mind.

    Alright, i'm seeing a lot of people complaining, saying that "Mana" is not an appropriate energy source for melee characters.

    Well, here's the deal.

    Remember those little things called ATTRIBUTES in Diablo 2? Those points that you put into Strength, Dexterity, Vitality, or ENERGY?

    Well, take a look at energy.

    What is it directly linked to? Mana.

    Therefore, we can safely assume that mana represents the ENERGY of the character, and not just the magical casting ability. Case closed.

    Also: The next time I see someone mention AoE, respec, or WoW in a Diablo 3 topic, i'm going to pull my hair out and/or slap the poster who mentioned AoE, respec, or WoW.

    . . . Energy in diablo wasn't the energy you are thinking of. Energy you are thinking of is Stamina, if you ran 2 much, you got tired and ran out of energy (not Energy). Thats what Fury is, Stamina. It is the exact same in everyway except it drains from attacks that require more effort instead of running. It even replenishes itself just like stamina. Energy should have always only effected magic spells and Stamina should have been used for the barb in diablo 2. That way it is even more realistic for those who like that. You can't realisticly whirl yourself around 200 times with no problem just because you are leaching mana.

    They're killing us... I think it's their intention to pit us against each other.

    Thats exactly right. All Diablo fans are so extreme that when we finally murder eachother over small differences the universe of diablo will have no one to defend it from the WoW Universe. Think of the horror, 25 man raid on duriel . . . NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

    I think that it is decent the way it is but if the final act in the final place looks just like this dungeon in any way (the atmosphere) I will be extremely depressed.

    If you have ever played Doom 3, you understand that darkness DOES = Fear. You can't see a foot in front of your face and it just freaks the shit out of you when people are screaming for help in the background.

    The green tint is kinda lame but I think it will only be in this one place, hopefully.
