Guys we have a lot of technical issues over here. My macbook power plug has 3 sticks, my power converter US to Europe only has 2 plug sockets. In short, I can't powerup my batteries. Only have 1 left, and the current one is at 40%. If you are at WWI and you have a cable or adapter for USA 3 plugs to USA 2 plugs email me at blizzplanet@fanforce.net
I think it means they're going to make the random dungeons feel more unique.
Theres no such thing as a 3plug to 2 plug converter. If theres no ground theres no ground.
If its a matter of shape get a cheap extension cord, you can tend to let the ground hang in the air with one of those, maybe chopping a bit of the plastic off :B

I'm not exactly sure about this, can someone explain if this is a sort of... continually updatable(sp) and changing quest system, so that we never run out of different adventures to go on with our party?
Im not sure if somebody has addressed this yet, but I did see some runes drop on the gameplay vid, when the witchdoctor and barb took out the guys on the bridge outside. A power rune and something else. Not sure if that means no runewords or not. Maybe magic runes spell stuff?.... getting ahead myself. Im just not seeing them tossing that out, it was too good. Probably just making it a few hundred times cooler, like the rest of the game looks to be! :thumbsup:
True. MFing because useless along with items that were not runewords. It would be cool to have runewords again just as long as they are not better than every single normal item in the game.
I also cant wait to see how they will incorporate the destructive environments into the game, I think it could really add a new level to the gameplay.
From today, IGN's interview with Rob Pardo from Blizzard.
Your first post = Completely wrong
I have in my living room, an adapter for a 3 Plug to 2 Plug.
I'm using it for my playstation 3.
And here's a picture.
Actually, he's not completely wrong though. It is just a ground. What that adapter does is give it a bit of a ground. However, you can just snap off the middle pin and it'll work. It's just not a great idea.
holy shit, i like but my only complaint
well actually more like a quibble
its a little too cartoony,
maybe a littel more grainy and dark so that
u will get the feeling of doom,
but other than that way to go Blizzard!:thumbsup:
I am liking the style of the graphics very much, a little darker atmosphere might be better, but heck I will settle with what they have now if I have too. And remember it is in alpha I think? So everything is subject to changes and enhancements.
Not sure why people are so worried about the game not being dark enough. Just take a look at the concept art they have on diablo3's main site. http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/media/artwork.xml
I'm not worried about it at all. Just download the hi-res vid in the media section and look at the detail on everything. Insane physics, and cloth movement. They built a new engine! And this could also be towards the beginning of the game. I mean they were helping Cain out of there. Though it could have also just been scripted for the demo shown, not sure. Just wish people would stop saying its too toony or bright. Just look at how much better that was than starting out at a Rouge Encampment, and hitting zombies in groups no bigger than three. That act wasn't dark, except for the caves and tombs. Going to have our asses blown out people. Don't worry. I have a feeling its going to be better than we all think.:thumbsup:
