Give me at least 2008 graphics and I'd trade D3 for D2 anytime. I'd even pay 60$ for it, nothing changed to gameplay (except maybe potions spamming removed) just updated graphics (and not even today's graphics).

Personally, I am suprised no one came up with some kind of patch that would basicly just upscale the whole game via a post processing shader. Just enough so it can smooth pixels out to be a bit easier on the eyes. À-la- SNES emulators upscale filters.

I doubt it would do the trick to make it acceptable to play again. But on a side note there are already custom patches that enables higher resolution, but it doesnt scale with the action bar so it looks weird.

Anyways, beside some limited gameplay features, D2 was so amazing in terms of art style (for its time indeed) and the environments were always fun to play over and over (and more randomized than D3 linear acts/lacks of dungeons). I'm so underwhelmed by D3 in those aspects... too bad Blizz North didn't live to make D3.

Rumors are that they actually pushed the release date back because of the Italian leak (April 17, 2012).

This is highly possible, because if they were right (Italian leak) it would've proved that retailers got the date before the gamers, and they always claimed to give the date to us at the same time as them.

5 Days after mine

Today is the second best day of 2012 (May 15th being no1 indeed).

The bold part. So basically if I join a game I dont know my own MF? Because if its averaged in groups but the average doesnt show up in the UI I have no way to know my own MF Oo (except I inspect all player and calulate their MF... or ask and hope they dont lie to me Oo).

So yeah... it prevents the hating against other players... but discourages MFers even more from joining a group

I'd say its the opposite, you can see your own MF but not the average (group MF).

Thats interesting, though I wasn't planning in rolling an HC character before clearing normal.

Mira Eamon?

Something that wasn't translated to other languages before. Like some new dialogues or such.

Like I said, a big shiny release date upon login! ...........................................

Cool stuff?

A big shiny release date upon login would be cool. I don't consider anything else being cool at this point.

Well well. From what I understood I feel good with this system change, but I'm surprised it took them that long to figure out runes should not be part of the itemization. For me it was clear that the rune system was to be incorporated to the UI directly.

Post is up!

A lot more colorful.

Quote from TylerBic

heh, i wonder if the will revamp the skill calculator etc, with all these changes to runes it will be interesting to see how they function.

thanks for datamining this info guys much apreciated.

I'm guessing a lot of parts from the "game guide" will be revamped (at least would need to be) once the possible Jay post will be up. But something tells me we won't have any official informations by the end of the day.
