It gave all the light!

Lol. Yes. XD

Yeah the video is up in it's entirety and he plays the demo after the interview. Nephalem Trials are explained by JM as a type of challenge mode that vary from time trials, Horde-type wave challenges, etc.

He also reveals more paragon stats that we will be able to customize

Attack:

-Crit Chance
-Crit Damage
-Attack Speed
-Cooldown Reduction

Defense:
-Health %
-Resis-All
-Armor
-Dodge %

Utility:

-Movement Speed
-Gold Pickup Radius

Lylirra has a second tweet in which Wyatt confirms for her that it's the exp that accumulates not the levels.

That said it's likely the scaling will be different. As in , exp of paragon 100 now will probably equate to much more in RoS, considering we have a predicted 1000 total points to spend (based on the core stat page and assuming the others also have 5 stats with 50 points each), that means P1000 to max out our customization.

That would literally take decades of 24/7 playing to achieve. I'd say what's paragon 100 now will equate to around paragon 250 or so..

But just speculation of course.

Hey guys, athene will be uploading an interview with JM soon and it is expected he will give more info on Nephalem Trials, just a heads up;

The console and PC have separate teams with minimal crossover. Looking at your other posts it's evident you choose not to believe this and that's fine

So you think the lead director was lying in this interview today? He clearly stated they went to the console and have now come back to the PC. Does that suggest to you that full resources were going toward PC?

No he's not lying. Because he was on the Console team. He's talking about his team which are now obviously dead-weights as the console version is done, so they have moved to the PC team.

You do realize it's impossible for the level of content that was displayed at gamescom to be developed in a month right..?

There's no question. The teams are separate. PC team has been developing 2.0 system and Expansion content. Console team has been developing the console version.

As has been said, there was crossover (duh), but it was minimal.

If I had to guess I'd say March.

I agree. I've been saying March 2014 since last year.

TBH I think RoS is coming out earlier than it should be because of the much needed overhaul of vanilla. :/

I was honestly surprised with the expansions announcement.

Same here, and I'm happy as shit about what I'm hearing. I'll be the first to give them a round of applause for this effort.

The xpac isn't an issue in my eyes. When it comes, it comes and I'll be glad to pay for it. Love what I'm hearing and we've only been teased with cursory info.

I'm a little upset, and I feel rightfully so, that the main focus of the Diablo franchise at Blizz HQ hasn't been getting itemization in a better place. Rather, per the lead devs own words, the main focus for some time has been launching a console version.

I swear, I quit SC mode because if I found 1 more damn Zuni chest with STR, DEX and +XXX thorns damage .....I was about to bash my head to bits. I play SF HC exclusively now because even a contorted Zuni chest would be a great find.

Anyhwho......I'll drop it because this thread should be about the community getting excited and I'm being a bit of a wet blanket. I apologize, it got under my skin when I heard that comment by Josh.

The console and PC have separate teams with minimal crossover. Looking at your other posts it's evident you choose not to believe this and that's fine, but there's no way they developed the console version in the few short months since the last patch. Likewise there's no way this expansion (which looks to be very developed already) has only had a month or so of work put into it since the console went gold.

It's quite obvious they both have separate teams. Josh may have been heading up the console version for the better part of the last year, but that doesn't mean the PC team wasn't hard at work under the guidance of Travis and Wyatt. The expansion and these new "2.0" systems are looking very polished and they have clearly been the PC teams focus for quite a while now.

As for "patch 1.0.9", that was never a real thing. It's just the logical next step in patching so everyone assumes it was coming at some point. It's likely not. I think these 2.0 systems will make the minor re-visionary leap to 1.1.0 or even 2.0.0, so it's unlikely we will ever see a 1.0.9 and that's no surprise as a 1.0.9 was never actually mentioned by devs.

All the system 2.0 changes are way too far reaching to be a simple "patch" denotation of 1.0.X, not to mention the new retroactive content in Nephalem Trials and Loot Runs.

I suggested a star rating system and I think they might have actually implemented something similar with the stars beside the legendary names. Obviously what they've implemented isn't through an NPC appraiser but it's a rating system nonetheless (or at least it appears to be)..

here is my OT;

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/9436964236#1

and example;

Nephalem trials sounds very much like an endless dungeon feature to me. Doesn't sound like PvP at all.

On the note of PvP, I know it's important to a lot of players but I literally couldn't care less about it. Diablo for me is about killing hordes of demons, if I want a PvP game I'll play a PvP-based game.

Loot 2.0 portion of the Gamescom footage is now up in video!!!!!

Hey guys, just thought I'd point out that there is a "blank space" on the official Diablo youtube page for Diablo Cinematics.

This usually denotes a video has been uploaded but is currently listed as private.

Not long now!

I don't think the press conference will be streamed at all. And that timer is indeed finishing an hour early.

So in the latest reveal a figure is apparent holding something on the left, and there seems to be another angel lurking in the shadows on the right, could this be Malthael? You can see the distinct shape of sickle there..

Also interesting to note that the Soulstone is now gone..


however, now the bottom of the page is also shown burning and the soulstone can be found there;



Is this symbolic of the Stone's fall from heaven?

So we've just noticed the footer background has begun changing as well, with the Black Soulstone moving from the top of the page to the bottom;



Could this be symbolic of the Black Soulstone's fall from heaven?

Strangely enough it looks like it's Tyrael holding the Soulstone to the left.. but in his angel form.
