BlizzCon - Pick the Best Diablofans Questions
I am traveling on Wednesday, October 8th -- I am not able to say why so early, but you can take your guesses. I will be able to forward some of the questions in private, and some of the questions live on the Diablo III Q&A panels.
Here is what we need you to do. This time around, the community can work together and help to decide which questions are best qualified.
1. Open Notepad or any text editor
2. Simply list the best 10 questions from the following closed thread which contains 102 posts.
3. At the right of each selected question type the post # and the name of who submited the question.
By Monday evening, I will streamline and pick what the concensus was with the best 20 questions. I will report what these were and double check again with you. By Tuesday, I will have the final questions.
Make sure to check up Diablofans through Wednesday, October 8-11. Any of the staff going to BlizzCon will be updating with info, images and video. However, the important part is that those who watch DIRECTV live or the live stream from WCRadio or other livestreams can listen to the Diablo III Art panel, Lore Panel, etc. And at the end we will have the Q&A Panel.
If I get my hands on a laptop, I will post official Q&A panel threads to grab questions based on what was told in the early panels, and the five of us might have a shot at asking One or two questions each to the developers.
See you at BlizzCon.
Props to all of you who were humble enough to encourage others before yourself and really showing that you do support the D3 community instead of acting selfishly.
Sorry about the off topic post, but man, it's almost depressing when you really see how people are. I really had to express my disapointment in some folks out here for their lack of maturity on this thread. Hopefully the mods can understand the situation and not delete this message as off topic spam. If they do then I hope they have the decency to talk about the problem themselves instead of ignoring it.
One of the only reason I used about 2 or 3 of my questions is because half the questions asked on the thread(to choose from) have been answered in interviews and in other ways already. I did not want to vote for wasted questions, as for the other half, I chose some I thought to be the best ones, but seeing as I play singleplayer, I do not care about PvP or any other Battlenet/online questions. I do get your point though some people chose almost purely their own questions, (which is too bad, there were some good questions there) I hope the good questions are chosen to be asked.
(sorry for being off topic, but this thread is kind of dead anyways, the one above it has about 4 times the views and almost twice the responses (also a shame). (delete post if necessary, Thanks for giving us all the D3 updates and going to Blizzcon, hope you guys have fun/stay safe.

In Diablo II, if you took the time to really enjoy every detail, playing it the second time around, there was a feel of 'I know what to do next. I remember this guy was here, I know I have to do this to get to this.' It didn't even take 3 or 4 completions.
How is Diablo III going to improve upon that if at all? Originally Posted by USNSEALs , Post #31

My question would be: is there going to be a world drop table that is different from the loot we get from bosses and minibosses. Is there going to be incentive to go around and fight monsters in different areas or is it just going to come down to grinding a couple of bosses with no specific loot tables at all. In other words, are they going to reward the player for exploring all areas in the game, and are there going to be more specific loot tables so that casters, for example, know generally where to look for items. Is there going to be a variety in what to kill and what loot to get? You get the idea - if you can rephrase this paragraph into one concise question that would be nice since I couldn't.

To what extent has God of War affected Diablo III's gameplay? Will we see combos, fatalities, and minigame monster fights all thrown in to keep the combat fresh for meleers? Originally Posted by Arkilae, Post #38

-Is there a night/day progression when outside? because that would be awesome.and if so, would it affect creatures?!Originally Posted by Lord Petrov, Post #58
*I acknoledge the fact that I edited the question slightly, and hope it does not offend the original composer*_________________________________________________________
Will there be a Hardcore Mode, and if so: how would it work with health orbs instead of potions? I can see how you might lose a Hardcore character just because of bad luck in D3, whereas in D2 it was usually carelessness or lack or strategy. Originally Posted by Ivaron, Post #87

If a player feels like a change of environment, will there will an incentive to go back to previous acts or parts in the story and find new content unlocked there? Originally Posted by Ivaron, Post #87

PS: Couldn't find a good 10th one that I found appropriate so decided to stick my own post for last as a filler...
#2. Reminiscent of Diablo 2 Ladder lag spikes that were happening all over the realms, what is Blizz going to do to prevent a higher definition, 3D, Diablo 3 from once again lagging the normal player out of a fun experience? Originally Posted by Mattheo_Majik, Post #7

PPS: To explain the logic of my choices on this is as following; It isn't that most questions weren't clever or interesting, however I tried picking the questions that were more or less unlikely to get revealed/answered during BlizzCon or any question that would be considered a "Spoiler" such as prematurely revealing next chars or story plot, etc. I was concentrating on gaming issues that I think held significant meaning to the creation of a balanced and replayable game. I strongly believe in helping Blizzard point out system issues rather than giving fans and media more fodder and spoilers on D3, that is more likely than not, going to be revealed along the course of the game's development anyways.
--------------------------- EDIT (merging a double-post) -----------------------------
Although it is expected to have less views in the fact that unless your posting your effort to help D3, this thread will mainly be read by Moderators. However....
What you said is RIGH. It is a shame that this post out of all posts should be ignored because it's threads like these that really could affect and help a great deal in the development of D3. Thus truly showing that most people only care to read news and pointlessly debate on obsolete ideas when they could make a real difference over here...
I think at the Lore Panel, don't quote me though, which will be in an hour and 15 mins.
