**OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

[Arsinek]

I loved getting loot in the Diablo games. I love getting loot in all RPGs.

Diablo isn't about loot?


Where is the magic find property on gear I keep missing on gear in WoW then?!

 

[Dravic]

Got the beta going this morning. Played the magic user to level 8, wife started playing the demon hunter. So far i really like it. Had to get used to the click based interface that is Diablo, but 5 mins in and all was well.

Wife's first words "Oh good they didn't screw it up"

D3 will sell like gang busters. They are getting two purchases from me.

Felt like the great hack and slash I remember, but updated on 19x12.

All on high video setting and I was capped @ 100 fps .. will be curious how the second gamer PHII 955 w/ 460 768MB will do.

.

most people i know said this


TBH they should update D2 to run at a modern rez, they could charge for it and it would outsell many many games

 

[Judgement]

Diablo is not about loot. If you want to make loot runs all day long, that is fine with me, I liked playing the game.



Your comment shows a lack of respect towards others, two can play that game.

HardcoreRobot, your opinion is retarded, D3 would be great with an open world. And none of your stupid excuses is going to change that.



Its been over a decade since DII was released. Like with TF2, I am willing to bet a lot of people that buy D3 never played the original. Play TF2, ask about Team Fortress Classic, and most people have never heard of TFC, much less played it. I imagine the same thing will happen with D3.



That same question was asked to Valve with TF2. Valve changed a whole lot of stuff between TFC and TF2.

Now look at TF2, its a massive success.

There was a lot of stuff changed from D1 to D2, and people loved D2.

D1 - dungeon crawler

D2 - few dungeons

I was really disappointed that D2 was moved from a dungeon to open fields, desert and jungle setting.

I play Madden games primarily to watch the cheerleaders on the sidelines in the cutscenes; I don't care if the vast majority of players preferred to play football. I am appalled that since the release of the last iteration of Madden, the developers are stuck in the last decade and for some reason refuse to make the game more like Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball.

Yeah, that's what sucked me into Borderlands recently. If Borderlands 2 and Diablo 3 release at the same time then I am pretty much doomed.

lol :thumbsup:

people need to stop judging this game based on the beta.

 

[gothamhunter]

Maybe I am not making my point clear:

I would like diablo to be more "open", more areas to explore, larger maps, more side quest, more dungeons off the beaten path to explore,,, and so on.

I was really disappointed that D2 was moved from a dungeon to open fields, desert and jungle setting.

So...what you're saying is...you want D3 to be something you hated that D2 became...?

Mind is officially troll-blown.

I found a filter that makes the graphics look a bit better.

without filter
with filter

without filter
with filter

There are more examples on the page.

I don't care about the darkening, but the sharpening is what's important. For some reason, D3 looks so blurry. Everything blends into each other, and its hard to tell what ends where and what is even clickable. I hope they change that by launch. If not, third party filters will help.

Diablo is not about loot. If you want to make loot runs all day long, that is fine with me, I liked playing the game.

Sorry Texashiker, but you are way off base here. Loot is a major part of the game. The devs recognize it, and the fans recognize it.

So you just said that Blizzard should change diablo more, but then you say that you were disappointed in D2 because it changed from D1?

people need to stop judging this game based on the beta.

I don't think so. It has been shown time and time again beta tests usually represent the majority of the release content. A lot of the times, bugs and complaints in beta make it all the way to launch. At any rate, you usually don't see a completely different game between beta and launch.

They are planning an overhaul of D3, but I doubt it will change too remarkably in a way that the beta will be unrecognizable from the final game.

I remember getting home from school and doing Mephisto runs the rest of the evening on 56K dial-up. Good times.

Recently I was talking to one of my old arena partners from WoW and we started talking about Diablo 2. We got on the subject of loot farming and boss runs and then he goes and says 'Yeah, I used a bot'. I wanted to punch him in the face at that moment . For me, working hard to get the best loot in the game was all of the fun. Different strokes for different folks.

It's a pretty well known fact that Texashiker is either a troll or incredibly full of shit about pretty much everything. He gets called out on every single topic he's ever decided to dig into.

+10 internets!!!!

 

[RPD]

Holy crap, going from the filter images back to the no filter ones has fucked up my eyes. If that stays in the game, WOW thats bad.

 

[Grooveriding]

I know this thread for the past few pages has been a bit flamey and not to further incite, but to add my opinion, I am feeling like Diablo 3 may be Blizzard's first lemon. They have made several large departures from Diablo 2 that go beyond innovating the game type and are more indicative of changes in the company affecting the game.

RMAH, no chat channels, no custom game creation, COD MW style matchmaking (REALLY?!?!?!), over simplification of character choices etc. I think the game will be a good game, I've already paid for my copy, but it is not going to be as good or hold up as well as Diablo 2 is and has imo.

Too many concessions to draw player numbers and appeal to players of their other big franchise. D3 will be good for a play through, but I don't see it keeping you coming back like D2 did.

So you think this beta represents the entire game? Lol

Stop trolling.

It represents the fundamentals and core mechanics of the game. Every beta does. Have you never been part of the beta process?

 

[JSt0rm]

I think the ability to switch skills is about testing them and a lot of complaints here were about lack of side quests and we have no idea what side quests will be implemented. If me bringing these points up is trolling to you then I don't know

Some recent info from Blizzard:

We should see the new skill system in an upcoming beta patch
We will see some class balance in that patch
There will not be a voice chat built into Diablo 3 (really? WTF?)
There will most likley not be any pre-order bonus from blizzard
The graphics in the beta are AS IS for retail (AKA no "ultra mode")

 

[slayer202]

well that's disappointing

Skill system, graphics, and health orbs are the things I disliked the most.

I feel like the skill system I played with was designed with consoles in mind...

Diablo (the original) was released on the PlayStation. Diablo was an amazing game.

The very fact that a game is released on a console does not automatically make it terrible. Rather, when a developer ships a game without any standard for quality or respect for their customers, THAT makes a game terrible.
