Not likely, since they're both owned by the same parent company, and have been rolled together in the same subsidiary by that parent company.Quote from CataleptInteresting, though, that Activision made an operating loss this quarter, while Blizzard is still chugging along in the black. Wouldn't surprise me if they cut themselves loose soon... they've got their own distribution channel now, they can't be getting much benefit from the relationship.

I don't care if there are panda sigils. I would care though if they made me buy MoP CE to get D3 wings. It's a relief to hear they're probably not related.
There's stuff in WoW from SC2 that you had to go to Blizzcon for, so...it's just marketing. -

This is just reminding you that there are going to be heaps of people who do struggle with Normal difficulty. Don't assume that everyone is in their mid 20-30s and has played all kinds of games for the last 10-20 years of their life. There will be people who breeze through normal in 30 minutes (maybe?), then people who will literally take weeks. Nothing contradictory there.
There will be people who find Skeleton King challenging. I didn't, but, I played D1 and D2 a LOT, not to mention the last 7 years of MMO raiding. I can move and react, though I'm no twitch FPS player. I think about what skills will work best in a situation etc.
Some people here react to the fact that it's made for people other than themselves by saying "Well, those people need to get better or not play, because I want difficulty set for ME!!" That's not an answer Blizzard is going to listen to. They want to sell the game to everyone, not just *you*, whoever you and your friends are. It just varies how far into the game you'll go before finding it difficult. Some in Normal, some in Inferno, lots in between somewhere.
Also, some don't find 'horribly difficult' fun, and may play for years in Normal. I know people who almost never left Normal in D2. They found it fun. You might not, but that's ok. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Realise is non-US English spelling, and is fine. Learn to English other-than-US.

If they lose them before hell, then they'll learn to be more prepared, or, maybe run it on softcore so they know what's coming. Or just suck it up and reroll and quit whining.
Rolling hardcore is like rolling on a PvP server. You know what you're signing up for, so deal with it, or play softcore. I'm not saying softcore is only for bad players, lots of people would rather not risk their toon's life on a bad day or lag, but, if you want easy outs, then hardcore D3 is not for you.
On hostility: best decision Blizzard made for D3 was killing it. All hostility ever was for D2 was a playground for griefers. I'm glad it's not there for D3. I don't want PvP forced on me. If I want that, GW2 is around the corner, and/or I have good FPS games to play.

Just like WoW or SC2, the Battle.net license model means you can install it on multiple computers with no issue. The only limitation is that you can only play on one computer per B.net license at a time.

I guess I've played a ton through there and never saw one there.

I'm also seeing mobs I didn't see before (like the unique in the Cathedral Garden), and the mob packs feel bigger...

I've been talking to my WoW RealID friends.

Yeah, we won't really know till later difficulties how much the shields are needed. Probably won't need them in normal, but, it looks like it works fine if you want to play that way there, too.

Of course, I might modify it later, but it's ok for a starting setup now to get rid of the 1-4 binds.

Of course, if you already have the license in your Bnet account, then you just need to install and update on whatever date they let you do it, and you're good to go. Presently, the pre-downloaded installer won't install.

It's not as bad when the kids are older.
(I have 4, but the youngest is 8, oldest is 18 now.)
