I was not expecting much and didn't get much but at the very least the Anniversary Dungeon is coming to PTR next week.

Jun 22, 2014Oranite posted a message on Patch 2.1 Info CompilationVery nice compilation, one thing that does bother me like no tomorrow is that for some reason everyone is saying "Greed" when in Diablo 2, the character's name was "Gheed", unless "Greed" is meant to be a whole new character altogether and in no way associated with Diablo 2's "Gheed" and just share a similar name.Posted in: News

The auction house definitely had lots of problems, but near complete lack of trading in a Diablo game feels very weird IMO. I don't think the 2-hr in game limited to 4 people is enough. At least limited to clans or friends wherein you have friend on your friend's list for a week or been part of the clan for awhile.Quote from Zixx7
My guess is will have something to do with BOA and some sort of trading since that is by far the most common complaint -

- New Paragon Portraits
- More Banners
- Ladder
- Devil's Hand
- PvPvE
- Offline mode =p
This would actually be quite amazing, in-game lobby for clans or anywhere with dozens of players in game.

Feb 21, 2014Oranite posted a message on Win Two Invitations To RoS’ Official Launch Party, Confirmed: Wings Of Valor Come With Pre-Order, Blue Posts, Dev Playtest #4Awesome Overneathe + the rest of Dfans!, I'm really looking forward to the Mystic coming in RoS. I really feel that was a very important niche that was missing in D3V. Additionally, with the announcement of bounty specific legendaries in each Act, I really like the idea of "loot tables" for particular end-game legendaries. Really gives a reason to grind particular bounties.Posted in: News
Also If I am chosen this will also work very well for me as I live 12< mins away from the venue. So no need for expensive travel expenses and time off, I can drive home right after the event to get some sleep since it's on a Monday work night and be back the next Morning.
So good luck everyone and let's have an awesome D3X1 Launch! -

People can do whatever the hell they want with their own money, but as for me. I'm gonna hold off for the reviews and ladder.
By what I currently see in RoS, it isn't worth the $40 to me and definitely not the€40 ($54.54) if I was in Europe.

Dec 10, 2013Oranite posted a message on Upcoming Friends and Family Character WipeGuess Closed RoS beta and PTR for 2.0 in Vanilla are starting very soon. It could drop as early as tonight or probably sometime next Tuesday. As others have said I doubt they will do anything on the the following Tuesday as that is December 24 (Day before Christmas) so it's pretty much today and or next week sometime most likely Tuesday.Posted in: News

I would like them to keep the cost or even lower it a bit more so people would have a lot more flexibility when designing the way they want their character to look.Posted in: News

Nov 24, 2013Oranite posted a message on Reaper of Souls Expansion Highlights: Adventure Mode, Bounties, Nephalem Rifts, Blood Shards and Gambling, Blue PostsEven though this is kind of a logical fallacy, let's go with the 6-month rule for Blizzard betas. Note that these are just my own predictions and could be definitely be wrong.Posted in: News
Ros Release
RoS beta started last week in mid-november, that indicates a possible 6 months before the release of RoS.
Sometime around May (Most likely May 20th to coincide with the 2-year anniversary of Diablo 3 Vanilla's release, I know that technically May 20th is not the exact date of D3's release, but it's the closest Tuesday).
Patch 2.0(Pre-Expansion Patch)
Now for the pre-expansion patch, Lyrilla started it could happen at anytime, but more likely around the 2-month mark prior to the release of RoS. This make it sounds to happen around mid March which also coincides with around the shutdown of the Auction Houses. So very likely on the March 18th Auction House shut off date.
PTR for Patch 2.0
Obviously there is going to be PTR before Patch 2.0 comes out and it has also been confirmed that there will be one. Typically based on D3's beta history PTR last roughly a month prior to going live, now with a big patch like 2.0 it could very well scale higher then this, maybe even 2 months or more.
Based on my earlier prediction of a mid-march release of Patch 2.0, I would further predict that Patch 2.0 PTR would be out around the 1-2 months mark prior. So this could be anytime in mid-January through mid-February.
RoS Beta, Expansion -> closed beta and possibly open beta.
First off, I actually kind of doubt that RoS would ever go open beta, but Blizzard could very well follow D3 vanilla and have an open beta weekend like they did in the past but very unlikely a full blown open beta.
Since RoS beta is already out but only to Friends, Family and Media it is still in the early stages and will eventually go towards a more expanded closed beta, essentially letting more people in who have opt-in via battle.net and later also give away keys for fansites such as Diablofans to give out.
I predict that they will probably start expanding RoS beta around December-January. -

All legendary and set items being soul-bound is a terrible idea. Don't kill trading. Killing the auction house is good, killing the social aspect of trading is bad.
If any this is really going to be what happens when RoS ships...
Then they pretty much went full transition since launch, from essentially a free market and progressively get more and more closed, from some soul bounds to removal of auction house and now to soul bound of all legendaries?
I think they need balance, I generally believe that removal of the AH was for the better, not really sure about current soul-bound items but that doesn't mean we should go from one extreme to the other.
If legendaries are all sound-bound (even if it's just top end) then what do we trade?
Soul-bound items: demonic essences, organs, keys, nephilim rift keys (from RoS Demo), now all legendaries/sets (I'm assuming legendary plans too?, possibly some of the new crafting materials?
Non Soul-bound items: We are getting more and more limited in what we can trade now... gold, lower tier gems, low end crafting materials, rares (rares might actually not even be end game items anymore since now legendaries can roll at any level and have unique affixes that rares don't have) -
Nov 9, 2013Oranite posted a message on Reaper of Souls First Look: Adventure ModeRoS is looking good, 1 more day of Blizzcon, JM was hush hush about the question regarding ladder at the RoS overview, most likely some more news, or possibly official confirmation of ladder (seasons) during tomorrow's game system panel.Posted in: News

Frank Pearce is just not a very good public speaker and comes off as extremely sarcastic especially to a sensitive Diablo crowd. They should have included a trailer indicating these much desired change as well, though I'm sure we will hear more about them in the later panels and that was probably why it might not have been mentioned during the opening ceremony.
Here is a full compilation by a /u/cafeagles on reddit:

I personally feel the super rare items such as SMK and WOW should be less rare but still rare, though of course there will be others that disagreed.
Loot acquisition is such a subjective topic, it will never be 100% agreed upon, the hardcore players want it as difficult as possible and the super casuals want it as easy as possible and then there is the rest of us...

Skeleton King is a bug, one they plan to fix, but put on diablo.
I agree with this, I think all end act bosses should include the guaranteed legendary as well, as said above even with this guarantee, playing through the story is still not as effective as playing through specific zones to gain exp/legs, furthermore there are legendaries that are only in adventure mode for example, the bounty specific legendaries mentioned by Travis Day in his most recent interview on twitch.

Seems like this is a case of "we will see when it's out or positively confirmed by a blue".

PTR coming so too, but does this mean we are forced to use the Desktop App in order to participate in PTR?

The big question I have though, is on ladders(seasons). I would be very disappointed if they don't have ladders with RoS, not to the point that would prevent me from buying it, but it'll definitely limit my play time with Diablo if it ships without it.
