So it's not being held back because it's not ready yet, because the book is ready, and the retailers already have it, most (the ones who don't break the rules) are just waiting for the offical release date to send them out.
That last part isn't really correct, cause my copy was mailed to me straight from Insight Editions. No retailer middleman to spoil any plans.
If i were to read this book BEFORE D3 came out, would if ruin any story or lore in D3.
I havnt read one spoiler about Diablo 3 and would like to keep it that way. I also have a little birdie telling me that I am getting the Book of Cain for xmas.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Gonna try to answer this without being spoilery! From what I've read so far (about the first half of it, cause I've been busy), there are no direct spoilers, but there's some amount of information that strongly leads me to believe that certain things will happen. I will be surprised if they do not. However, these things tend to be overarching in scope, and details certainly have not been spoiled.
No offense Magistrate, but you really come across here as not knowing what you're talking about. You claim characters should be level 11-13 when they fight the skeleton king? Try 6-7. The only reason anyone higher than that is fighting him in the beta is cause there's nothing else to do.
And yes, a level 1 character wearing level 13 gear is going to outclass a level 7 fight. Duh. The only thing opened up by levels now is different skills to use, and a fight this simple requires no more strategy than "run away when he's gonna spin". Gear is everything.
Not by design. And not in any successful, fun way regardless. This is my opinion, of course. People like to romanticize the idea that hardcore pvp was somehow compelling, but I never saw anything but gank attempts and bravado.
I think their system is perfect. If bosses drop better loot than normal mobs, and rares spawn randomly and drop better loot than bosses, you may as well pick an area a ways before a boss and search for rares all the way up to the boss, then kill the boss since it's a guaranteed chance at better drops (just not quite as good as the rares you were looking for on the way).
How about you re-read that 12 more time or however long it takes til you realize that I was in fact talking about the armor models as well as the "nude" model... Because it does in fact use key words such as "armor" and "all" and "models"
I'll read it as many times as you want, if you'll re-read mine as many times as I re-read yours. Especially the /shrug part. I think you're making a "big deal" out of something that no one would ever notice.
I put that in quotes cause I don't think you're really making it into an actual Big Deal, just bigger than it deserves.
If you go search around for some of the various data mined armor sets it still looks out of proportion that's why I thought it warranted sharing. I think all the models need to be fixed and it will make her look more normal.
If by "normal" you mean "wearing a tighter bra", then I guess so. I have no idea why that's important in a video game about killing everything in sight though. /shrug
Um when have I ever bitched about PvP in Diablo 3 buddy? If anything I ask for hostility back and duels mid game and not in an arena only, other than that it's fine as is, the community and I don't need Blizzard to hold our hands to make the game how we want.
Also I am a PvP>PvM guy huh? Where did you get that out of what I wrote here? Man you sure added a lot to this discussion here too, can't wait to see you in game....oh wait youll be one of those kids hiding in private games so the big bad pkers won't get you. Keep walking scrub.
This forum really needs a "dislike" button or an ignore feature... I especially like how this guy calls someone out for a post "not adding to the conversation" when his whole post is just childish bravado.
I don't really get why this is an issue. You're not likely to be able to notice the difference between those two while actually playing the game, and as soon as you add in shoulder armor and such, you may not be able to tell on the character select screen either.
I'm gonna go with trusting the blizzard character modellers on what fits better with their various armor sets.
I dont ask open-beta for millions, but if there is no 20-50k active players, there is not much public/infrastructure testing going on.
And if there's not much public/infrastructure testing going on, that means that they're not ready for it yet. No point in inviting a ton of people if useful testing can't start until the new hardware is in. This isn't some advertising campaign- it's a test. When they're ready for large numbers of people, large numbers will get in.

Therefore, I disagree. It's not doing what it's intended to do!
Which means... my head hurts.
