    sooo why would we need rep with the people we are saving from impending doom?


    I think this is what I think of it as well. Also, I don't think this will be good gameplay for Diablo 3.

    Reputation is implemented in WoW because you've got a great number of factions, who each does their own thing. You, as a defender of Azeroth, try to find your place in one or more of these factions.
    In the Diablo universe the hero wanders through towns looking to kick demonic ass, not to win the grace of the inhabitants.

    What could be done is adding a side quest to get some more profitable selling and buying prices in town, just like Radament's Tomb in D2.
    I wouldn't make it an entire stat though. It's an interesting idea, but not very fitting.

    It's only cool if you know what it's about. Else it's just 3 letters smashed together.

    The 5/100 is actually for the dot. I like the dot.

    posted a message on Complete loss of interest in Diablo 3
    I'm sorry to hear that your interest is gone, but I think you shouldn't be that hasty.
    They only recently revealed Diablo III and they aren't really far in the game (I trust Blizzard to speak the truth :P).

    Blizzcon was quite soon after WWI so of course we got a huge avalanche of new information. But if they continued with all that info they'd probably give us all the information before the beta is out.

    Part of a game is experiencing something new and exciting. If you know all the information in advance, then the game in itself is not that exciting anymore. You still have the thrill of playing a cool game and experiencing it for yourself, but it us get quite boring after a while.

    A small stream of news is needed to get the fans interested, but D3 is still far from complete. I do have to admit that the amount of new stuff is lower then I'd have expected, but that'll probably (hopefully) change quite soon.

    Links comments are what I meant with my post.

    Anyway, I'm really anticipating your consequences. I wish thee the best of luck.

    [Off Topic]
    I also want to say that it's really hard to write stuff normal people are supposed to read when you now a huge amount of little scientific details.
    Or it's a conspiracy. It's SO bad, that they don't want the people to know about it :o

    posted a message on First Character Pick in D3
    I'm definitely with Lydeck on this one. I just want to taste each character to see which one actually suits me. With the respeccing that won't be too much of a problem.

    But the Witch Docter will be my first. After seeing Fire Bomb enhanced with that Multistrike rune, I want to bowl with zombies as pins.

    posted a message on Next Major (Class) Update prediction
    Most people said it and I will say it again: I think that the next large news will be at their next event.

    I do think/hope that there is a proper site update on its way. Not something we've seen before.

    Maybe some lore on those large beasts you see running at the Witch Doctor in the gameplay trailer (when he exists the dungeon).
    Or perhaps a screenshot of a Gnarled Walker.

    At least something we haven't seen before, something to set our teeth in.

    *Edit:
    On its way meaning sometime this winter.

    I support Stem Cell research, because for me its pros outweigh its cons. Also, I just want to say that I've got absolutely no knowledge in this research whatsoever.

    As far as I can see, these are the cons:

    - Religious fanaticism will increase. More people will be inclined to say that science is all about 'playing God'.
    - Maybe stem cells will enhance the human physiology, and use them to bad ends.. Probably too sci-fi.
    - Humans will live longer. This might seem like a good thing, but it will get pretty crowded. And where do we get the food from?

    And the pros:

    - Humans will live healthier, so humanity will be more productive. Previously disabled people can work so less people have to look after them.
    - The enhancements can be used for good. (yes, it's the sci fi approach again)

    I hope that he didn't spend all those 20 years in the Pandemonium Fortress.
    Then that tired, broken look doesn't look odd at all.

    I think it's really cool. I like it, even though he seems a bit sad.

    And the things Voxorb said could actually make the drawing better than awesome.

    Keep up the good work.

    posted a message on Monsters Special Attacks
    I like it, it definitely adds more depth to the 'standard' monsters.
    But it is quite hard to kill them when you're on your own.
    And when you are frozen or something like that in multiplayer, that's no fun either. You just sit there and can't do anything.

    As Bllzzu said, Blizzard made Diablo II more challenging with more people. I'd like to see your idea combined with Blizzard's. So when more people join, monsters gain more diverse attacks to increase the experience.

    Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure such a thing has been mentioned before...

    Doppelganger, het was inderdaad vrij koud, -18 graden om precies te zijn.
    For all others out there, a couple of days ago temperature dropped to -18 C, or about 0 F around here.

    Ahh yes, the ancient struggle between cootie covered hamsters and gravy covered penguins. I never thought I'd see it with my own eyes. And an advice to the others here, it MAY get violent, from what I've heard. Eyewitnesses say that they barely could escape...

    And another thanks for all those welcoming speeches :).

    All non-believers (aka, demons and their 'vile' offspring) must die!
    That does seem quite familiar, but I guess that's the old testament.

    And thanks. Advice is always useful, especially when you're new.

    Num3n:
    Thanks, I read it the other day and I thought it might be interesting. And it indeed is Shatterer ;)

    Shisou:
    The Nephalem were weakened because of Inarius. He didn't want Lilith to make an army to rule all of Sanctuary, the Heavens and the Hells.
    After Sanctuary's discovery, they all agreed to let the humans do their own business. But they didn't make them Nephalem again, even if they could, so they still could keep an eye on them. Everything humankind has accomplished, it has done so through studying, training and a little Nephalem birthright. They're just being nice, the angel's way.

    On the other hand, I'm quite curious if the Heavens know that the Nephalem's full powers (at least more than is shown now) still lie in the current generation. Lilith was able to unlock them, maybe when the demons win their fight against the humans they can unlock those powers as well. Then they have Nephalem to fight for them, now that's something I don't want to face.
