I'm doing it all!!

"We travelled east, always into the east..."

I kind of like the the detail, or lack-there-of in the sand. To me, it kind of represents how the desert is an endless wasteland. I want to see MORE landscapes!!

yeah, I must have missed it. Not exactly what I had in mind but I bet it will turn out pretty sweet.

still looking for a mustache... :rolleyes:

I am hoping you all saw blizzards leaked product slate.

It looks like it's coming the last quarter of next year

We have a thread dedicated to the product slate rumor right here.

They talk about crafting and artisans here.

Also, crafting falls under the "other" option!!

Some sort of shadow/dark magic would make sense for the DH to have. Perhaps holy and shadow dmg will share the same resistance?

@Ophion: Nature resistance might be a possibility

Quote from NickOfLight

I have a couple of questions regarding armor and item sets maybe someone could clarify. As far as base armor is concerned, does it increase resistance to all types of damage(poison, cold, fire etc.)or just physical?

I don't think anything has been said specifically on this subject but I am almost certain that base defense would affect physical only(this may, or may not be in the form of reducing dmg). There is a resistance stat (Fire res., Light res...ect.) that help deal with those other types of dmg.

Quote from NickOfLight

Also, regarding finding/grinding for set/legendary items: will there be a specific area where you absolutely have to grind to find a certain item, whether set or weapon etc. This is how WoW is set up, you had to grind a specific dungeon to find a particular set of items(say tier 3 or tier 4 set or a weapon etc.).
For example i have two set items and need a specific slot(head/gloves)to complete the set. Will i have equal chance to get that item in any dungeon or will there be a single boss i have to grind to get it?

I don't think anything official has been said on this either, but it is not really in Diablo's nature to have this kind of loot system. I imagine it will be similar to D2's loot system where loot drops based off the monster/area level. For example, an item that has a lvl of 85 would not drop off a monster that is below lvl 85.

There will likely be multiple places to find the certain item you are looking for.

Quote from NickOfLight

Also, will Legendary items only drop on a specific boss or will the chance of drops be spread across all dungeons/bosses? Will there be as much incentive to fight the Act 1 boss over just fighting the final Act Boss?

Legendaries are the new uniques in the world of Sanctuary, so I think we can expect the same type of system as they had in D2 (i.e. they have the same drop mechanic as other items). In D2 certain uniques had a better chance to drop off Andy or Meph than they did Diablo or Baal. Although I wouldn't be suprised if we saw something like "Diablo's sword of flames"(just a made up name) that is only able to drop off Diablo.

Quote from NickOfLight

One more thing, will playing in a group increase the chance and quality of items that drop over playing solo and by how much? I know blizz said that they wanted to reward team play.

In D2, the more players you had in the game the better chance you had for loot. I see Diablo 3 having a similar system. However, with seperate loot for each player, they may get rid of this mechanic.

I did not look for any official info on any of this so I could be entirely wrong but I think most of it will probably be pretty accurate.

Quote from Ophion

needs more mustache!

The DH thread has been pretty dull, so I thought I would start a new topic up.

I want to know what you all think the DH will look like. What should he look like?

Personally, I think he will be pretty slim and agile, which would be fitting I suppose.

However, I am hoping he will be somewhat Van Helsing-esque. An average build and throw on some mutton chops connected by none other than a nice big mustache.

I hope it makes a relly cool bell sound "donnnnnng"

If you look at her, she keeps bolts on her leg. It's not hard to believe with her speed and mastery of the xbow, that she simply brings the xbow down to her thigh and reloads it quickly.

Sure, it seems challenging in reality, but these aren't average people. They are heros afterall.


fixed!

Quote from Lt. Venom

I said it first, so quote me damn you!!

Next week is finals week, so after that I am pretty open.

Quote from Sixen

Seems like it'd be pretty fun... I remember someone had done this previously and had recorded their playthrough of D1/HF.

The thought crossed my mind, but I don't have a recording program or editor so I don't think it would be likely. It would be cool though!

I pesonally just like to play the game as is. Although, I can see the value in single player mods.

As for interface mods, thats a firm NO!
