Mar 29, 2009Lachdonan posted a message on Blizzard and Microsoft Xbox?If the games from Blizz are both console and PC then I will of course stick with PC...I have one already, and I usually upgrade it for gaming anyway. No sense in buying something when I have something I like just as much to play games. However, if the games are console only(which I highly doubt will happen) then I will move on to some other type of PC game. I have nothing against consoles, I just don't see any sense in throwing away my money on something that will cause me to break up the limited amount of time I have to play video games between 2 systems just because games are console only.Posted in: News

Dec 11, 2008Lachdonan posted a message on Diablo III Website Animation UpdatesPosted in: NewsQuote from "scarcoke" »Great work!
So here's my thought after seeing this change:
It is quite obvious to all the Tyrael will play a very important role in the storyline of D3. But what if the Tyrael we all know so far (in terms of character and appearance) is not going to be the same with the one Blizzard will introduce in their new game?
A fellow fan posted some weeks ago a thread mentioning the idea that Tyrael will come back to D3 as some kind of possesed demon, losing his role as mentor and guide but becoming an entity of the same demonic character that he has been trying to fight for so many aeons.
So maybe Blizzard will once in a while update Tyraels appearance on the official website showing to us LIVE the slow tranformation that he is undergoing, in order to reach full potential in D3.
The first image Blizzard posted when they unveiled this site showed Tyrael the way we left him at the World Stone. Now, by changing the wings, obviously making them more mean, dark and aggresive (they actually look like those ghostly figures you could encounter in Kurast jungle and Bazaar...cant remember their name now) it looks like we are witnessing a complete remade of Tyrael right infront of our eyes.
By the time the tranformation is ready, D3 will be ready for launch!
I agree completely that this is showing a transformation from good to bad. But something that bothers me, especially since my memory is a bit off right now, did Blizz actually come out and say that the angel on the website is Tyrael? If someone could clarify that would be great.
For some odd reason I do not remember hearing that it was officially said to be Tyrael, it just looks like him. But then again there was another angel in D2, cant remember his name, the guy next to the last waypoint in Act 4. He kinda looks like Tyrael, except dead. So maybe the angel on the website is really Imperius and they are showing his transition to a fallen angel. Also you really cant see the angels chest on the website, and I remember reading a discussion about Imperius having some kind of special cross on his chest, so maybe Blizz does not want to reveal that its Imperius.
If anyone can clarify about Tyrael then I can get this stupid idea out of my head.
I am just rambling now. -

I think this forum is way better than the B.nett forums.. this is much better and mature forum with bigger contents..
Anyway thx for the news.
Like everyone else here, we all want more answers to our questions. However, if Bashiok or anyone else from Blizz were to post outside the B.net forums, for example in these forums, then you would eventually get people who are not 'mature' flooding into these forums. Better they stay in the B.net forums. Plus Blizzcon is right around the corner. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

I do not like this idea because it is essentially the runeword system. The runeword system, and your idea above, puts more emphasis on the items used to boost the power of the set pieces rather than having the set pieces themselves being good. If you need to keep "enchanting"(lets just call it that for now) an item over and over as you level up, then the purpose of the game becomes more about the ingredients to enchant stuff rather than about the item itself.
For me it makes it less enjoyable knowing that I find this item and then have to go around getting all these ingredients together just bring it up to a certain level where it will be worthwhile to use. Atleast with scaling set items only it would not render them useless at any time. Scaling uniques/rares is a bit too much though and there should be a wide variety of those at all levels. Sets in my mind should function differently from any other type of quality item.

I do not like the random keys work for all chests idea, because a majority of the time the loot is worthless anyway. I do however like the idea of a specific key for a specific chest but I would like to add a bit of a change or addition to that idea. If anyone ever played Mythos, yes Mythos before it died, I liked the idea that there was always a special dungeon chest at the end of the dungeon and there was 1 mob in that dungeon that dropped the key to open that chest.
Now the dungeon itself could be 7 or 8 levels deep and the key to the chest on the very last level was dropped by a mob on any level. So basically if you kill every mob on every level you will get the key. It sounds like more of a grind but it is optional to get the key to open the chest. And of course since the key is more special than random keys for random chests it would have a better loot table.
Maybe Blizz can twist this idea to their liking, but its much better than running around looking for a key anywhere in the world of santuary just because you came across a chest that is super rare spawn.

Yes having a mount like in WoW is cool, it adds another element to the game and I would not mind it. But the difference between WoW and Diablo3 transportation is that in WoW it is need because the world is so vast and you can travel anywhere without loading screens. Blizz already said that the D3 world is not going to be a vast world like WoW. It is going to be similar to D2, so you will have loading screens between acts.
In order to get from 1 act to the next you will have to fight monsters every step of the way so there will be no use of mounting up onto a horse only to go 2 steps before you have to get off and fight more monsters. Mounts just dont play a part in this type of game style.
And if anyone mentions something about being able to fight while mounted...well thats just silly, who ever saw a barbarian on a horse doing a whirlwind attack?

Yeah I agree, plus with WoW already being set in a medieval past type of environment, I doubt they would make another MMO that has a somewhat same feel of the environment to play in. Starcraft environment being space/futuristic would be something new and refreshing after playing WoW. Or it could be a completely new franchise that we dont know about.

Gold should really be used for 3 things. Repairing items, buying items from a vendor or from players, and then buying luxury items. By luxury items I mean items that wont help you kill/survive against monsters like extra bags, extra bank slots, personalizing items with a characters name. If you balance the gold drops then you dont need 10 or 20 different types of gold sinks to throw your extra gold into. Gold should be for the essentials, and if you happen to have leftovers then you can get a luxury item.
Note: Items from a vendor would obviously be weapons and armor but would also include crafting materials and such.

If there was only 1, yes 1, movie then I would take all of these actors to fit the role, however that is not how Hollywood works if the story has alot of room for sequels. Usually the first one is really good and then they get progressively worse if you try to use a whole group of big time actors.
Look at X-men, a handful of top notch actors. The first movie was great, and the rest just sucked. Why? Because they couldn't pay the actors what they wanted and still have enough money left over to make anything else in the movie good. Which is why they are doing X-men Origins with only 1 big time actor in each.
However you do have the exceptions like LoTR, but those movies were significantly better and grossed more than usually Trilogies do.
I would choose Huge Jackman as a druid, Don Cheadle as the pally or Angelina Jolie for Amazon. Choose one of them and do the story from that one characters point of view and then have the rest, or just a couple of the other characters that show up randomly throughout the movie.

I agree completely, when too many people (a) cant find the time to play a great game, (b) complain the game is too difficult because they do not want to learn how to get better at the game even though they play for long periods of time, then Blizz just decides to nerf things until these types of people can play the game. It hurts the game and the player base(small %) that actually take the time play the game and learn how to play it correctly.
I still wish raids were 40 man, I might still be playing. Atleast with that you could drag some of the idiots through the raid and still have difficult content, unlike it is becoming now.

Fear is when you see the bus, and then you see the darkness.
I have no fear about D3.

This is the only thing I really agree with that could very well be true about the story line of D3. Its the only real connection you can make between the worldstone being destroyed, the meteor and the diagram. Other than that the diagram is a picture that looks like it would have been drawn out during the diablo time period and it fits well asthetically. (sp?)
Good thread to read through imo if you dont have much to do.
