Frostbite5 posted a message on Wizard Looks Good in New Item SetThe thought that this is only 5 out of 18 (eighteen!) is actually mind-blowing. If they actually came up with 18 different, recognizable looks (that is, without uniques etc), it's no wonder we also get something like this.Posted in: News -

Frostbite5 posted a message on Iron MaidenI guess those claws will be purely defensive though.. to parry blows to the hand. It would be too weird if the armor acts like a weapon.Posted in: News

Frostbite5 posted a message on Level 60 capAt first I didn't like it, but after reading the explanation, it perfectly makes sense. I'm especially looking forward to having each levelup mean something. Because, let's be real, in D2 there were only a few occasions where gaining a level meant a notable difference for your character (gaining level 30 for example).Posted in: News
The only thing I'm worried about is this: in D2, it was almost impossible to reach the max level without spending a lot of time doing specific runs. That also meant that in theory, your characters never felt "finished". So everything you did still kinda made sense, because you could still use the xp.
But in D3, when we reach level 60 at the end of the game, won't that mean we're less motiviated to keep playing with that character? It's like.. it's finished, it's done. Even the search for better items won't matter too much, because your character already reached max level.
One way around this would be some end game content only available to lvl 60 characters. That would make reaching lvl 60 feel like a pass to some other special activities. -

Frostbite5 posted a message on How Soon is Soon™ - Part IIYeah, exactly. For balance testing, all they have to do is alter some values. If they put a couple of experienced guys on that, it can be done in a matter of days. And there's nothing a patch won't fix...Posted in: News

I don't think that they would delay the game to hit a specific date but I think that as time has rolled around, they have always tried to shoot for June 28th, regardless of what year it came out. This date is just too important to the Diablo franchise. This year it happens to land on a Tuesday which is when videogames are released as well.
But would that date really be important enough to determine their schedule? What would be the point of that? And would the current team actually care that much about that date? -

Frostbite5 posted a message on How Soon is Soon™ - Part IIMy money's always been on an early 2011 release, and I think that's what we're gonna get. There's no way they can pull off a 2010 date anymore, but early 2011 would give them just those extra months needed. Having to wait another full year now would just seem extremely long, too long given the stage they're at now.Posted in: News

I guess better types of the same rune will just enhance the effect.Quote from AcidReign
Sooooo.... It sounds like there are 5 different runestones and that's it. No tiers of runes? No more minor or major runes?
Oh well. I guess 700 is enough
E.g. Minor rune of multiplication in lightning skill --> chain lightning hits one extra target.
Greater rune of multiplication in lightning skill --> chain lightning hits five targets.
I don't know whether a better rune would also increase the damage though, maybe you need to increase the skill level for that. Or maybe it's the other way around, that skill level enhances the effects and better runes grant more damage. Or a mixture of both. :mellow: -

I'm still hoping for a release before june though, can't wait another year :/
And I guess in theory it's possible, an early 2011 date... By then I'm already well into my second semester at university, it's a huge amount of time! - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Now they could make it more interesting, with special item rewards for example, or even achievements, but I just hope they can come up with less repetitive ways to keep us interested..
There would be one big advantage though, it's a good way to see how strong your character is and to keep you motivated to make him stronger, find better items... But if the game is done right, we won't need horde mode for that.

- An archer (obviously)
- A knightly class, like the paladin in D2. I'm really missing the "Camelot"- factor in D3 so far.
So my ideal fifth class would be a knightly, medieval ranged character. Can anyone come up with a name for that? A Guardian maybe?

And well science in general, it leaves room for error to allow for progress. It's not dogmatic. So it's not pretentious like "look what we know", it's actually very humble: "this is what we believe right now based on current findings".

Imagine the following scenario: my barb finds an awesome sword, so I decide to bind it on him. A bit later, however, I find this two handed axe which actually makes him even better. Obviously I want to use the axe, which will render the sword useless, while I might have another character sitting around who could use the sword... Wouldn't that just be extremely frustrating? It's nothing you can plan or foresee. I just don't see the advantage...

All this time people think about binding to a character, but why not bind certain items to an account? This would offer benefits for economic stability (certain items get filtered out, it could even be on pickup if for some reason they wouldn't want that item to end up in the economy at all). At the same time, it would have less drawbacks than binding to a char: you still have the freedom to test the item on your other chars. I can imagine, for example, that there are certain rings which could be useful for several classes.
Also, the discussion about account trading seems a bit beside the point. If certain people have a desire (and a budget) to buy stuff in the game to save time and effort for themselves, they will do so in whatever way possible, and there will be others finding a way to make a living out of that. For me it doesn't make a difference, as long as a person did the effort, not some kind of bot of course.
