OP asked for Diablo 2 item database =/ please learn to read before you call him names...

No, he said that he kept getting D2 item database. You should follow what you preach.

Quote from Apoc

Yes, the "beta forum" is certainly "open" but the beta itself I still believe will be "closed"

Obviously this.

The FORUM is in open beta, not the beta itself
Reading skills and common sense are cool. Not required to be wealthy and powerful in developed countries though so rejoice.

I'm sorry, but obvious is not the word I would use to describe the phrase "the Diablo III open beta forum".

There's an implication that "open beta" is a single phrase that describes the forum. And thus if it is a phrase, it's not two individual words that describe 'forum' individually, but as a phrase.

As Athene_Wins points out, as it reads, "the Diablo III open beta forum" refers to the forum. If there was punctuation, such as "the Diablo III open beta, forum", it would mean something else.

I doubt you would be able to sell an unidentified item in the AH.

It's like buying blindly, which I think Blizzard will not condone, with being fair & everything.
Just like a real AH, you need to know what you're bidding for.

Besides, only an idiot or a very rich douche bag would waste his wad not knowing what he's getting.

The mod team isn't like the news team, Verity (...or should i say "sneaky" *censored*?)
Our torture chambers aren't ment for the team members... but for people outsite it!

I'm sneaky indeed

You sir, not so much! Now everyone knows!

(gz @4k posts btw!)

Thanks! And... my mod powers allowed me not only to edit my own post to ensure you remain sneaky, but edit yours too to change the quote!

Yes, we mods are that awesome!

Quote from Shebnumi

Are the mods going to be compensated for the time?

Yes. The thankful general population of diablofans.com. I can't be a mod, I'd throw down the hammer.

Rest in Peace, Isaac. And have a chocolate, salty ball or two.

I don't get why people SPECIFICALLY line up junk food for video game playing. Unless I smoke a joint and get the munchies, I hate having that sh*t food near me if I'm playing.

1) Chocolate/chips makes your hands dirty, and Im not a slob who has orange dust on his keyboard.
2) Coca-cola/etc... just makes you thirstier. The dude who said "2 hydrogen 1 oxygen" is the man. Water, or green tea, or something decent.
3) Most of all, I eat whole, healthy meals, whenever I'm hungry. If I'm thirsty, I get a drink. I don't need to line up 60000 calories worth of junk to play the game. Maybe I'll order a pizza or something on release day to treat myself..

The personal trainer, though, goes a bit far. Optimizing sleep cycles? Come on man. I don't even do that for my law exam, for weight training or anything else VASTLY more important than a video game. If you're falling asleep, go to sleep, its simple!

Quote from Shebnumi

Remember, B.net 2.0 has a different Warden than 1.0. B.net 2 came out in 2010. I not say D3 won't be hacked, I'm saying it's going to be harder to hack than D2.

Hacks aren't going to work the same way either. Instead of hacking the game on someone's lone computer, the server will have to be hacked affecting the game for everyone. Remember, we don't know how much of the game will be on the server(Blizzard) and how much will be given to the client(gamer).

Quote from GoBigRed23

Personally, I think loot duels should be more of a decision based before the match that both players agree to. As far as XP gain, I think it's a bad idea, most people who make duelers make multiple "levels" of duelers and you would completely kill low level dueling which in my opinion, is the most fun dueling and luckily the cheapest.

LLD was just as expensive as HLD. Getting an awesome item was just as rare.


Also, OP has one of the worst ideas I have ever seen. I am glad the fans do not make the games.

Quote from LinkX

Basically, like it has been said before, duping and hacking will get to be common on Diablo 3 on the Battle.net realms.

The only thing that might help is, as Scyber said, B.net 2 is a bit better then B.net 1. Other then that, the only reason why it's online is for DRM.

The main reason why WoW is so secure when it comes to duping is that, again as it's been said before in this very thread, all the items have an individual item code. If Diablo 3 does that, I don't see Duping to be very common, but I don't see Diablo 3 having that. :/ It would be nice if it did though!

It's been said before by people who have absolutely no fucking clue how a proper server/client architecture works, nor have any insight into what it takes to actually dupe items. All item code + data on the server == every item that exists gets a unique hash/identification data == duped items are either immediately culled by the server, or get logged + flagged for CS investigation. The chances of dupes are slim to none, and if any do emerge, you can be pretty damn sure that they will be fixed promptly.

Botting is another thing entirely. I have no doubt that people will attempt, and succeed, to make bots. It's not possible to stop that kind of developement. Fuck, there are tons of free software you can use to make bots. Here's a random one you can use: http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/

The thing is, these bots are probably going to be shitty. You think people are going to be able to make D2NT quality bots that can MF every TC87 zone with a hammerdin in 15 minutes? Not likely, and if they do, they can probably expect a swift kick in the nutsack from Warden, or a ban later.

You guys may think that Blizzard doesn't give a fuck based on what eventually became of D2, but you are all quite dilusional if you think Blizzard has spent any significant time or resources to D2 since.. 2005? They take keeping their games secure extremely seriously.

It felt pretty weak in nearby North Carolina. Then again, I used to live on the west coast and have experienced serious quakes in the past.
