Fuck, looking back, I realize that this was a really obvious question.
Of course you have to play normal because they expect you to have a leveled character going into nightmare.
Thanks, guys. I don't follow every detail about D3 to a point.
fair enough, you definitely can't... though maybe xp leeching is a possibility, expect the answer to that one coming out within a few hours of launch.
Though i'm fairly sure i heard that you have to be within a certain radius of other characters to get xp, so even if it is possible it's probably going to be extremely difficult.
I can't see how it could fail, they set themselves in a good position with this plan since ebay stopped selling. now they get micro transactions... from every single transfer, i dare say they had some top analysts look into this. But yes it won't fail, how successful it will be is yet to be seen though, i am just thankful that sweatshops in China won't be selling on the US RMAH.
I can't really say that i hate MMO's, the only reason i am against Diablo being turned into n outright MMO is it moulding into a WOW skin thanks to WOW's financial success... Diablo is definitely still it's own beast for the time being.
I can't recall if this was ever touched upon, but is it necessary to complete normal before nightmare can be played? I realize that normal difficulty is Blizzard's way of introducing players to the game, but I was just wondering if later difficulties will be locked unless you complete the difficulty before it.
Thanks for any answers. I'm asking this on behalf of my father.
Diablo Fan 2000+ posts, can't answer question... i'm confused?
in all Diablo games, the start from Nightmare difficulty the AI level is equal to if not higher than someone who has completed normal. there is no chance you could get through Nightmare without finishing... you couldn't even hurt anything.
or is it that you were just planning on xp leeching?
You know...I'm a true Diablo fan. Been waiting 10+ years for D3. However...staying off this forum (I'm new) does not make me a fan or not. I just don't need a pat on the back to remind me I am a fan. Why? Because I AM and no one can convince me I am or convince me I'm not.
A true Diablo fan will never be put off all the crap most of the people on here bitch about.
Internet connection?
Sure, I didn't have one... so... I GOT ONE Money?
Was a bit tight..made a plan and got the CE Free time?
Made sure I have some, or A LOT RMAH?
Pfft, didn't need it before and won't need it now
The only thing that will make me HATE D3 is the storyline - if it sucks I will toss it in the fire and watch it burn and I will WRITE my own Diablo 3 - story wise.
The only thing they can screw up in my opinion is the story.
I don't care about the RMAH, I don't care about anything except the storyline.
Agree with everything you said, also consider myself a Diablo fan. anyone that is whining saying they are not getting the game for whatever reason can't really consider themselves a fan. As for the forums i'm sure people have their own reasons.
there are a couple of things that bother me, not being able to play when the internet is down is a bother and having to play under latency even solo is going to suck. RMAh i think is a good idea, better than a subscription service and both RMAH and Online Connection required are both to tighten Blizzards controls over their property and if that makes them constant cash to support the game better for longer then everyone wins right?
Most of the complaints are essentially about why is Diablo 3 not like another title, now if you know Blizzard they have always done stuff their own way and you have to trust they know a good product before they ship it.
As for the story it's looking awesome, already a step ahead of Diablo 2 by the looks, certainly the videos are more engrossing... fingers crossed though.
that's just it, they would have lost all of the purists, but they really should stick with Diablo 2 if they want what they are asking for.
One thing that interests me is how many people are playing a diablo title for the first time, seems a lot of first timers will be coming accross from WOW by the looks of things, once again while their overcomplicated play styles might baffle me, bigger audience + bigger money = more game support. so i'm all for that.
Personally everyone is getting way ahead of themselves with this end game stuff, i mean hasn't even been launched yet and already people are complaining about ladder resets not being there... did i miss something?
how long after launch was the first D2 ladder reset?
wasn't there mention somewhere that the difficulty on inferno will be a lot harder than is currently challenging the testers anyway, so whatever it is now it's probably going to be a lot worse.
imagine cc skills on launch will have zero effect if inferno is indeed %200 as difficult as it currently is.

Also i'm pretty sure 12 years ago Diablo 2 had many party skills, so it's not born from MMO's, MMO's were born from Diablo.
