For some reasons, I loved the original and played it to death; but I could never get into D2. It just felt odd to me; simply because I had played so much D1. I won't be playing D3 but I can understand why the fans are going apeshit, the game looks phenom.

You don't just play through D2 in a straight line, bitch. You gotta GRIND FOR LOOT.

How long until D3 comes out so I can be prepared!

The movements of the barbarian are real nice and the less-static areas are nice, even if it looked to play exactly the same with them. They did use some WoW stuff, the first boss is basically Stitches from duskwood, but lets see outside of a crypt area more.

Main concern was that the Witch Doctor just looked like a variation on a Necromancer. I want truly new classes, new ideas, etc.

No. You can setup a game with a password, so only EB can join.

You can also do this to keep people from joining you so you can level a ladder character alone. I can't remember if you can limit the amount of players that can join

I'm pretty sure anything can finish normal and maybe the second difficulty. Hell takes planning though. Its fun as shit to make some throwaway chars or to level up multiple ones.

I should've added that, thanks, guys.

Its important to figure a lot of this out on your own as you play through. The site is only really useful after you've put a bit of time in the game and understand it well.

• Group loot. When a boss was killed in the old games, the player with the fastest connection would typically grab the loot first. However, in “Diablo III,” the loot will generate and drop for each player.

Good news about the big focus on cheats and hacks.

Duping and hacks completely destroyed D2 from a competitive standpoint. I'll admit, I used a maphack but that's a minor hack compared to what else is out there (gmod, which gives you all the breakpoints for free, pickit which automatically picks up drops before anyone else can, and many more).

Duping was just terrible. It destroyed the economy. I remember having an account full of high runes... ridiculous.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #221 on:** June 29, 2008, 04:32:34 PM »

Group Loot sounds like the best way to deal with super rare loot where pointing and clicking on the items as quick as possible is a game aspect in itself. I'm happy to hear that groups won't be at odds in that regard in D3.

Do you have any plans for Diablo on consoles?
We don't have any plans.

Are there an plans for mobile or any other platforms, or is it purely PC/Mac?
Right now we're just focused on PC/Mac. I believe we've got people who are focused on mobile stuff and I'm sure we're going to be having conversations with them on some point on what we can do, but in terms of taking Diablo 3 as a game to mobile ... I doubt it.

Suck it down, console looooooooooooosers.

Maybe a rolling system or something. The whole quicker reflex shit is dumb. I actually wouldn't mind rolling on a Rare piece of loot. Its true that Group Loot will probably take away from the rarity of all rare items since whole groups can acquire them.

Loot will probably be like guild wars, where drops are automatically assigned to players and only those players can click on it and receive it. Sort of a constant hidden greed roll.
