Yeah, I know what you're thinking: "You think you could do a better job?!?"
Lol yes. Yes I do.
Quote from "Cyanide-Tipped" »Question is do you think they'll allow us to give mercs items and weapons? And that includes auras too. I think we can agree those auras made us pretty powerful...
Quote from "iEv0" »I hope they keep experience loss as a death penalty, at least on the higher difficulties. I am a little too skittish for hardcore, but I liked experience loss because it kept you on your toes. Dying wasn't the end of the world, but it was definitely counter progressive.
Quote from "radiant_knight" »you meant gender neutral.
don't ever call a class neuter as in sexless.
that is barbaric.
D3 has announced there will both male and female gender in each class.
where does it refer to a neuter class?
It doesn't ever mention that.
you failed to address my main point.
expansion packs lead to story confusion and incompatibilities within the player base.
some players own expansion packs, some don't, some require new machines, some change the storyline.
the strategy is not to make add-on expansion packs.
the strategy should be making new versions of the game.
your definition of a million players online being an MMO is false.
take your definition and go search the web.
it's not my job to educate you, but you are uneducated about the term MMO.
Quote from "Septar" »As I typed before, read what I wrote before you comment telling me to read what you wrote again.
Quote from "SlappytheClown" »They can still change the name of Amazons to something more neuter like Rogues (Diablo I Amazons). It's not hard to change a name.
Quote from "Septar" »They wouldn't be Amazons then, they'd be rogues.
Quote from "Septar" »They're not going to change the name of the Amazon, because they're called Amazons, not "more feminine barbarians"
Quote from "nomaddjs" »I don't like this "time penalty" bullshit when you die... softcore is for noobs - take some gold off them and that will do...
the only real penalty is if you die and lose everything - hardcore-style
anyway good thing the mercs will be making a comeback as "followers" hope they are not as mighty powerful as chars (because they look already waaaaaaaaay over the top) good thing would be not allow mercs use UNIQUE items - that would be quite interesting
Quote from "radiant_knight" »there was significantly more content in that post then you refer to.
if that is all you can see in my posts you are not worth my time.
don't bother looking for expansions.
expansions are in fact a money making scheme.
in LOD the Dark Wanderer was slain if what i heard was correct.
the hero of Diablo was slain so that an expansion pack could be made.
to kill Baal. which nobody cared about in the first place.
i never played the expansion for several reasons.
start a thread, 'why i didn't buy the expansion' and i might have something to say about that.
-------------
expansion example illustrated.
i buy a car. i must now buy a second engine just to run the car after three months of ownership. after that i must then buy a new fuel tank if i want the car to run with the new engine.
---------------
i expect my products to standalone. if the car needs an 'expansion upgrade' i make a new model car and get all the upgrades done correctly.
this is how it will work in the future.
if it doesn't the game industry will kill itself from the complexity of compatible expansion packs, sequential expansion packs, standalone expansion packs, paid membership expansion packs and so on.
--------
and Skovos better not be an expansion pack.

Quote from "Septar" »There is no male amazon you dolt.
Quote from "Nooblet" »People want diablo so why not just give them that i mean why gamble on a whole new system people loved the old system although some bits were unfair but that can be tweaked and isnt this old news? *shrugs*:)

The Witch Doctor replaced the necromancer... as you can see with the zombie wall (bone wall, tough one... right?) I'm kinda hoping that they don't come back with another paladin, even a paladin like class. They're in almost every game out now where you can choose your character's class. I'm just hoping that the new class that will be revealed will be even better than the Witch Doctor.

He could be answering another persons post, so don't jump the gun there lil missy. And I consider that more or less :offtopic:.

I don't see them changing the mercenary style if they bring it back. The whole 'equip your mercenary with any gear that you have/find' was what made Diablo II different than the others.

I think that somebody said that there will be no experience loss since just running to where you died is penalty enough. Don't quote me on this, but I remember seeing it.
Yup! Jay Wilson said it... if you want to see, refer to page one of this thread.

They already stated that there's going to be "warriors" FROM D2 in D3. That means that there are going to be at least another class from D2 usable in D3.

That'd be awesome to just see some cannibal bunnies come out of nowhere. Maybe even get those Hell Bovine to pop up out of nowhere and pull them to the SECRET COW LEVEL!

They are saying warriors - as in the characters from Diablo II.

Yeah, I see what you mean by the distance and whatnot. As someone said, sorry for not remembering, that the bodies should have a timer on how long the physics would last, that would make it a lot easier. Maybe like 3-5 seconds depending on how populated the area is.
The tables idea mainly came from Half-life 2, physics and realism (to a point ^_^) were amazing.
I am liking that idea, it should leave a black spot on the ground for, lets say, 3 minutes or something. The bigger the beast the bigger the spot. Or, even leave a part of the monsters body. Say you kill a giant beast with a horn(s), after the beast fades from the game, one of the horns could be left.

I'm kind of hoping that they bring back some variation of the Sorceress. If they bring back the Paladin, I wouldn't be surprised... they're in a lot of games now.

Maybe there's a way so that when a character stays in the frame of the corpse, that the corpse can still be affected by the physics and whatnot. Then when the character leaves the frame, they become a static mesh.
As for the physics of the tables/chairs/etc... you could just have it to where you can break them down more after you already break them and after a while, they just break down into nothing. Maybe after 2 hits they just dissipate.

*sigh* First off, you truly are an arrogant one. Neuter name... I never said a neuter class. Nothing is "barbaric" about changing a feminine name to something more neuter to suite the male version of that class.
Second, I said that the definition of MMO was what I think it is, I never said that it was the real definition. Your bantering is senseless if you can't even quote me right.
Oh, and if they made a whole new sequel to the game instead of an expansion, you'd be on here complaining day in and day out that they're taking too long to throw it out onto the market. You need to read others posts a bit more carefully next time you want to try and put me in my place.
