A accurate measurement of these things would be to compare the amount of people playing online. But that would of course only work for games that have an online function that most people are using.
Quote from "emilemil1" »So where is WoW? The most popular game in the world...
Quote from "Zhar" »Well I'd hope so, this long in the making I'm expecting more than just balancing.
Anywho, I'd expect that Blizz is really working towards retooling most of the game, just remember how radical the changes were in 1.11 (synergies).
Quote from "slamaskin" »i can't wait much longer, i'm waiting for this patch for tooooooo daaaaaamn long, if the patch will not be released latest by the end of this month i will not play diablo series any more not even 3... this delaying is just not acceptable anymore.... if they can't stand behind what they say than don't say nothing i hate this frickin teasing and BS... release the patch already or i will curse you
Quote from name="Jack in the box" »I'm not trying to hate but this really isn't news (or new information). It just seems like there is such a lull in anything really newsworthy that forum history, bad blood between ownership and historical interviews from someone who is not currently involved in Diablo development have become frontpage news.
Again, I'm not saying this isn't an interesting read but does it really merit being frontpage material?
Quote from "3CXOD" »I agree with you Seth.
I feel it will be greatly appreciated when more and more Diablo III news is spawned and the inevitable release occurs.
Also, great read!
Well done.
Quote from "Rapture" »Well done Phrozen.
Quote from "Dauroth" »This whole delay thing is starting to be ridiculous!

Hammerdin's can be good but you need some decent + skills in order get through hell all the way.
Whirlwind Druid is another option since they do cold and physical damage.
All depends on what you want but with the summoner necro you can clear hell with very little + skills.

Now you could turn PvP into what WoW has and have arena's and battlegrounds and be able to get PvP only gear from doing this these things. But then that would be the most un diabloish thing ever. Yes BoE can be annoying (I know because I played WoW for a short amount of time and the biggest thing I hated was BoE and BoP stuff) But if Blizz thinks that having certain things that are BoE will make the economy less like a wave that is high at one point and comes crashing down at the next. We should just trust them and wait till the game comes out. And if something is wrong that shouldn't be then you can guarantee that they will come out with a patch that will fix it.

Most of this sounds like it belongs on the battle.net boards. I'd love to see Bash's take on everything you said.
And you haven't been doing much D2 online right now because the economy is in disarray. You could get perfect gear in a week or less. Prices have fallen and everything is cheep.
Diablo 2 never got anything correct. Diablo 1 was way more revolutionary then D2. Diablo 2 set the stage for other games to build on what diablo 2 had introduced. Blizz is going to do the same thing. Their gonna look at what sucks (ie: trade system I have no idea what was fun about making games screaming TRADING HELL TORCH FOR SOME ODD NUMBER OF HR'S) and build on it like other companies have in the past.
On the subject of gold. I think that their should be the option of trading items for gold or you can trade and item for an item and barter with the player in a seperate place. I think a lot of the trade is going to change based on what battle.net 2.0 is going to introduce.

Don't forget that that interview was back in september and a lot of things can happen in five months. They might have scrapped the idea for all we know. Also this entire thing is your opinion. Lets bring in some other PvP fanatics and see what their take is on all this.

i just beat Oblivion for the first time and Morrowind definitely had a better story line was way better plus nothing was leveled. Definitely wanna check out Morrowind best of the elders scrolls in my opinion.

Basically what I believe. While the PvP community may not be farming monsters for gear the PvE community still is and the PvP gear that they get the trade off to some PvP guy which keeps the economy going.
