I really like that concept drawing. The whole idea of the treasure seeker is way cool. Still though, this underwhelming batch of screenshots makes me happy all over again for permanently deleting my Facebook account.

I love the aftermath of battle.

What is that bottom left shaman shooting at?

That is a pretty damn quick sketch up lol. This is pretty funny. These guys are grabbing their sketchpads, drawing something up in 20 30 minutes and posting it to shut us up lol.

I don't think he is shooting at anything :confused:

He must be the slow one of the bunch...

Damn you centipede, taunting me again!

Yes, he drops loot as you hit him. I assume he dies eventually. Think, Mario.

oh``oh`` what's the monk’s skill with this pose?

Not the most impressive batch of screenshots but its still neat.


I like the tattoos on the monk's shoulder.

He drops gold as you hit him and he runs away, and then he drops loot after you kill him.

My question is can you kill him? If he progressively drops better loot, then you wouldn't want to kill him. All the quote says is "don't let him get away". I think that he opens is escape portal and heads for it, the more times you can hit him before he gets there the more and better the loot he will keep dropping. Maybe you can use strategy to separate him from his portal to leave him available longer to keep getting more loot.

How do you know this?

According to the info released:

He randomly and rarely appears in dungeons, and he drops progressively better loot with each blow you land on him, so don't let him get away if you get the chance to run into him!

I know in the video we saw, he only dropped gold but that does not mean that he only frops gold. And the quote says progressively, so I would assume it's not like a counter and every time you hit him, the end drop increases. Instead, every time you hit him, he drops better stuff.

And how would you "decide" to kill him. It is not like there is a certain way to kill him and you can decide when.

Lastly, where did you hear he could still actual items from players? There is no way they would have a mechanic that could make you loose items.

Hmm...

I know we only learned about this monster at the 2010 Blizzcon. However, on this site, we reported about the different monster types they were including which one was labeled thief. Many speculated that he could steal stuff from you. However, even if only gold, I don't like this idea. Also, this guy is meant to be elusive. If he tried to steal from you, he would come at you and not run away from you.

I guess it would make sense that his final drop would be better depending on the hits but I think choosing to hit him with your weakest attack (probably just auto attack) and then killing him with a power skill could add some extra dimension to this fight. Too me, it is just too much though. I don't ever want to be punished for not using my strongest attack to kill something quickly.

I played the demo for a few ours and he only dropped gold as you hit him. When you killed him, he dropped actual loot.

Who else remembered the somewhat same creature in Dungeon Siege 2?

A guy that picks up gear and drops gear if you hurt it, but it was extremely fast and hard to hit.
Seems they share the same concept.

I was going to say the exact same thing. Although the D3 version looks much cooler IMO.

Sorry if someone asked this already...but is this 20 drops per player and each player sees his own individual drops or 20 total and each player sees all of the drops and its a free-for-all like D2 item hunting. Or is it every player sees his/her share of the 20 items based on how much damage/hits they do on the treasure seeker?

do you have to keep rubbing it in that you got to play D3 and I haven't

I hope not. At this rate, we won't get the beta til late summer and I am hoping for it before then.

Something to tickle our taste buds!

Am I the only one who's completely unimpressed by these screens and bits of art?

Hell, some of the art so far has been reposts of shit we've already seen, and others look like they were slapped together to shut us up. Screens aren't that impressive either TBH, nothing new and impressive in them, just showing different ways to use skills.
