this is interesting, i was sure that i had done a test previously in d2 and that my merc killing things didnt give me xp, i guess i was wrong haha! well i still wasnt sure about d3 so there you go. ty for checking all this
Well, with the two creator entities semi-re conned into the story, with the worldstone being a piece Anu, it would stand to reason that Tiamat, I mean Tathamet, had it's own relics. And if Azmodan has figured out how to use it, then that would definitely set him apart from the other prime evils.
A glowing black dragonscale maybe? also in reply to OP i read someone's thoughts that leah might be in some way connected with diablo, and that in the cinematic its as though Leah is in place of Diablo, given Azmodan's dialogue.
I have a follow up question: if a follower kills mob by himself, do you still get loot from it or no? For example in WoW if pet kills mob without you touching him, you get nothing.
in WoW i always considered that to be in a group of bugs that always needed to be fixed... along with vanish not working.. i imagine in such a loot oriented game you will get the loot, in fact i think i remember seeing it happen in a lets play of the beta.
it's nice that they even added the xp bar haha you never knew how close your d2 merc was to levelling. So it seems the xp is in sync with your own, and killing a monster with your char, or your follower, will provide both of you with equal xp, BUT the followers xp is tweaked to accommodate for max level being 30. or not, if its max level ends up being 60.
thanks for the info, even not knowing for certain, i'm happy knowing that you can forget about him until a certain point, which is probably what i will do. also noxious you make a good point, but there is also MF to consider, as people in d2 would have their mercs kill baal if they had better mf gear. not that i have a problem with that either way it's just i don't like that kind of mechanic where i have to do something fiddly just to get a better chance at an item. Anyway, im happy haha i was sure blizz would make the right choice anyway. can't wait!!!
Edit: Okay so the zombies at the VERY beginning give 8exp with the templar. I dismissed him and they still gave 8exp. So it seems like no they don't actually steal your exp.
In pretty much any game that allows me to, i will min/max my character, and try to push the limits of how quickly you can level up, or get better gear etc; so in Diablo 2, i wouldn't use mercs, at all, until it was required (hell, usually only for infinity or the other pole-arm one.. and the auras) and it was only because i didn't want the merc stealing my xp! even if it was only a tiny bit, i JUST WOULDN'T HAVE IT. So i was wondering if anyone knows the plan with followers, will they take the xp from enemies they kill, presumably to level up? or does xp not affect them and i get it all even if they kill a mob (what i'm hoping for). It might seem finicky to some of you but i don't care it's how i think.
apologies in advance if it's been mentioned, i did do a forum search as well as google, couldn't find mention of it.
I'll just post some of my favorites (in order of me remembering them):
1.Baldur's Gate trilogy + tutu mod
2.Myst series
3.Oddworld 1+2
4.FF7/10
5.Planescape: Torment
6.Diablo 2 of course
7.WoW when i was into it, it was quite insane how much i played o.o not anymore
8.Gran Turismo series
9.Half-life 2 was pretty amazing, dunno if i care about ep3 anymore..
10.Unreal Tournament. and to a lesser extent the sequels.
Hey people. i've been watching diablofans since diablo 3 was announced, and been waiting for diablo 3 much longer than that so i decided it was high time i finally made an account and started posting. So yeah hopefully you'll see me around.
tbh the only reason i buy game guides is for the pretty pictures, the smell of a new book, and the look of it on my cupboard, i cant think of any reason to buy one unless you are new at gaming in general, the tips are usually useless except for complete noobs :/ this isnt true for games that require guides obviously, like an rpg, or game filled with secrets, but guides for things like WoW are generally shit, you can get all the info u need on the net. SO in conclusion i would like to see lots of pretty pictures, well formatted tables containing useless but interesting information that u can read while you are on the toilet.
