Even if the bonus for killing the monster is +5 hp, I'd do it all week.

That's the thing.. You wouldn't be able to redo the quest. I think it would be better that way, otherwise it'll just start a grindfest of side-quests. Or maybe you could redo them after a month or something, a little like WoW's daily quests but over a larger period of time. For sure the reward can't be the same the second,third, fourth.. tenth time you've completed it.. the prize should be less, except if the monster gets alot harder to kill.

I dunno I like this idea alot.. I can see it now..(..*fading into daydream*...)..

Skullbasher523: Yo sup Steve ?
Doctor_Pain091: Nm, just doing my SD("Search and Destroy")quest you ?
Skullbasher523: Nice! I need that quest to, wanna do it together?
Doctor_Pain091: Sure join game sdquest888////888

(..*Snaps back* ..)... Yup would be awesome.. people could help each other out n shit. Would be a great quest for Co-Op.

Torchlight is simply a D2 clone with added elements of other games (mainly WoW).

The way these features developed is:

Diablo 1 -> Diablo 2 -> WoW (D2+Wc3 in a giant blender) -> D3
Diablo 3 has elements of both WoW and Diablo 2. (Don't mistake my poor example and think that there is wc3 in d3, there is not.)
Torchlight has elements of both WoW and Diablo 2.

how the hell is wow a "d2+wc3 giant blender" when it's most important features never showed up in none of those games ?
WoW is a "western mmo giant blender" with tons of inovation in network and service areas. D2 has close to none relevance to WoW despite what blizzard tries to say to please the diablo crowd.

Quote from Ophion

Yes, all classes are dps and designed to be able to solo enemies in single player. As long as the AI isn't overly clever. The AI actually doesn't have to be clever at all, only different to create unique battles. Flayers surrounds all enemies, Fallens (imps) attack as a wall, etc. Different AI creates different challenges. Bashiok mentioned the teleporting champion monster that was extremely difficult for certain melee builds to handle, but is no challenge for the nuking Wizard.

Because you need to pay buckets of money for a piece of crap software that is not actually needed and has minimal improvements if not is actually worse compared to older versions.

Did you knew that they are making a Windows 8 already? It's key point if for business but they will tweak it a bit and release it for general public. And you will need to buy it yada yada.
I don't play that game, I just use the OS the pc I bought came with.

Quote from SFJake

Yeah, I can't wait either.

But its mostly due to my common attitude of "almost every games in existence are complete trash" and I can't find anything fun to play, even less something new.

In my opnion dialogs should be elaborated, but not something the player must invest time unto.
It would just slow down and take you out of the core.

Quote from paroxysm2010

Your right, I rather like snakes... be a shame to kill them, they could make a very deadly vicious enemy though.

How about centipedes ? or millipedes, or whichever the nastier one is,
I forget which is which, but one is rather cute.... in comparison any way

Quote from CreatorJoshua

The vipers were a video game version of a snake. Snakes alone aren't very menacing, they can slither around and bite people. When the diablo team implemented snakes into the game they had to think of something to make them more powerful and dangerous so they added arms for extra abilities. People could just put normal snakes in games but snakes just aren't that scary in video games compared to big eight-legged vicious venom spitting spiders, or some minotaur guys.

There are plenty of giant rats and giant spiders in video games, while there's no such thing in real life. There IS actually a giant snake species in real life, the anaconda. Why not have us fight those? They would definately be dangerous.

And snakes are more venomous than spiders.

Also, snakes can be dangerous without being tough enemies. It depends on how dangerous poison is in the game. The snake picture I linked earlier is from Might and Magic 6, where snakes could seriously hurt you with their poison, halving your maximum hit points and spell points (=mana) while under it's effects, as well as lowering your strength, endurance, accuracy and speed statistics. Not to mention poison doesn't cure itself, and even grows steadily worse the longer it takes you to cure it until your character simply dies.

Of course, spiders, snakes, bats and rats are enemies you meet early in a game. They're not as *powerful* as minotaurs. But they can certainly be just as *dangerous*.

I think this BlizzCon will be more focused around Diablo III and WoW:Cataclysm. StarCraft II will already be out and in the hands of the gamers, so people are going to want to find out more about the other Blizzard games in progress. Maybe even some details on StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm.

I felt that the last couple BlizzCons were pretty boring for Diablo fans. "Here's a character panel, here's how we make levels and monsters. Now for the Q&A!"

And the Q&A's are always worthless to listen to because everyone asks the same questions, or questions that could be answered by anyone that is even slightly familiar with Diablo III. That's probably what upset me the most about the last BlizzCon.

Last year, StarCraft II got MEGALOADS of attention and media, and I assume that was because it was closer to launch than Diablo III, so hopefully this year, it's the other way around. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but I know how that's treated me in the last 4 years after registering here...
