seems good, i like the overall idea...
but, we still lack endgame content... what do do when you can farm act 3 and 4 easy?

tbh, i think there is 1 secret announcement to come (i hope <3).

100level (or unlimited) inferno dungeon 2-3 elit packs per level.
MUST clear every elit pack in that level to go down into next. ( or other mini quests)
lvl 1-5 about act 1
lvl 6-10 about act 2
lvl 11-15 about act 3
lvl 16-18 about act 4
lvl 19-20 about pony level
lvl 21+ harder... and harder...

lvl 100 well... you will never get to level 100

this will be more rewarding the further down you get, (increased loot type quality)

but then again, blizz never announced somthing so "outrageus" before, EVER... i mean guess its me and my little gamer brain thinking of somthing that should be REALLY fun...

in the end, its going to be like this:
*oh dude i just beat dungeon lvl 22!*
"oh cool!! furthest i have came was lvl 19"
*want to go together? se how far we can go if we WORK TOGETHER?*
"sure!"
time------
*bam dungeon lvl 24 cleared....*
"total wipe on lvl 25, we need better gear, better skills, better teamwork..."

they also removed a leveling exploit

THAT INFERNO DAMAGE.

170k!!

Europe before USA.

As. It. Should. Be. ^^

Definitely!

they get game of thrones before us! then they can have Diablo 3 after us!

this is REALY awsome! they doubled the damage from monsters making them MUTCH more dangoures for WD/DH/WIZ, but dont rage about the passive damage reduction barbarian and monk got.

if damage dealt was 100
now its 200
before a barbarian whit 20% damage reduction would have take 80 damage
now its 20%+30% reduction, so now its down to... 100 damage

its even worse for us melee as well (yes i refer myself as a barbarian!!! :D)

this is welcomed to me, this really means that monks and barbarian CAN build tanky builds if they want, else its not really that big of a difference, as we are always in melee range we do take more damage so its kinda equal now.
but WOW this will make it awesome to play a WD/DH/WIZ MUCH more skill needed!


also the hardcore mode is great, whit this double damage it will actually be possible to die

awesome!

definitely looks better then my pictures i threw together

<--- old D2 gamer, played Diablo from the day the first came out. i'm also studying at a university here in Sweden to become a game designer.

_Thoughts_:

Scroll of identify gone

Seems like a good idea, as there really was no reason to keep it there anyway, its just something you collect to use later and thats it. BUT i'm quite skeptical about the whole idea of "cast time" to identity

moving button 5 for pots

guess its a good idea, but it now seems kinda awkward where it is

stone of recall gone

well ofc, why does it have to be a "stone", a button like this seems quite fair. (but maybe change placement+the looks of it)

mystic gone

well ofc, there never was enchantments to items in d2 and why would there be? its just another free socket to add something in.

Cauldron and cube gone.

VERY awsome, one might consider this making it more of a pain in doungeons now, but getting back to town is somthing that i really liked in d2.

when you are fighitng around for a good 15 min whit a friend and you find your inv full of stuff, its a good breather to go back to town and sell/buy/do stuff/look at stats and gear...

me like!

white items cant be salvaged

good, let there be crap. so that one don't HAVE to pick up EVERYTHING and salvage EVERYTHING.

Defense, Attack, and Precision gone!

Back is:
Strength, Dexterity, Intellect, and Vitality

Awesome! it feels more like Diablo now and the stats make more sense. one problem can be that a player like me (barbarian for life...) will only get items whit STR and VIT, making them my only useful stats (like a Warrior Tank in WOW only values stamina->str->parry->mastery->dodge) and everything else where kinda useless.

this is something we cant answer now and can only be answer later game once the game is out.

character stats directly on the inventory UI

Perfect, as you usualy look at stats and gear at the same time anyway its just a streamlined work-around that works perfect.

if i ware blizzard i would have take the chance to move stats to the right side of the equipped items and still having the more exact statistics on the same place. it just would feel better

----------------------------

There’s a lot of work left to be done, though.

does not make me feel good. but i'm looking forward to the skill/rune changes
----------------------------
and thats my thoughts...
in short i like these changes and support them 100%!

those tooltips might work fine, i just dont hope they forget the "theory-craft" players.

i love to crunch those nummbers and compare and find the ultimate somthing.

Disappointed

was waiting for something more like the other one we saw on blizzcon was it? one whit leah and that big guy :o. but no :/

and changed eyes... :/

fake, its TO obvious.
why would blizz include an idea of "how" to leak it? using imgur?

"pokemon approach?"

FAKE all the way

well as said before, Diablo 1 was availabe for playstation.

so i find this a future development.

beats me to know why d2 wasnt ported to a console, its not like its allot of controlls <.<

Quote from mortenlehani

Will Force and Sixen give thier best setups for skills and runes on all classes ? could be nice to have

you made an error there, there is no "best". its all about how YOU play the game.

im into heavy damage, not much survivability, Mainly AoE dmg and 1 high single target.

but thats definitely NOT the only way to play it.

im happy, guns dont belong.

even and automated machine crossbow would make MORE sense

but i want more info on "massive" types of weapons, barbarian only weapon that is.
