No, I'm not a stalker! I just put the good stuff in my Firefox favorites :p
 
Well that settles it, Yoshi let's get on a plane to Hungary, someone's gonna get ganked.
 
Well, sure enough guys. If enough people wish it, ANYTHING can be possible. Enough people wished that Blizzard DOES NOT release Diablo 3 this year. Dumb reasons, you said. "IT IS BLIZZARD, THEY MUST DELAY IT", or "LOL, BLIZZARD NEVER KEEPS UP WITH THEMSELVES, NOT TO MENTION THE AGES".

It was YOU who brought the wraith of Apocalypse and the Creator upon us.
It was supposed to be YOU on the rollercoaster, Richard. It was supposed to be you!

Look what you did to yourselves.
Look what you did to this world.

*goes back playing El Shaddai*
 
Corky, after reading Arnolds post above, I think we should take the flight to Hungary and buy him a beer or two!
Let's take one or two blondes from our country while we're at it

These sheningans get through me no more! I am fed up with this black world and its lies! Time to devour all! Time to purify!
One beta key would soothe me though. Just one.

Saddens me that you don't even mention DH. Is DH really that bad? :( But yea Wizard/WD/DH, are all more interesting.
 
I thought about it. I've now decided that this might as well be how it is:

Everyone who's disappointed in the DH, they're going to radically change the resource system for them. They will make the class better and more fun, trust me. Lady Sylvanas-fans, rejoice!

Oh god, you just made me consider starting a DH aswell. Damn it. Does not help that Sylvanas's WoW model is beauty. Beauty.
and good picture :D
 
&#9829; &#9829; &#9829; I have a feeling the D3 OT will be glorious. GLORIOUS.

Anyone know how characters of different levels playing together will scale? Like a level 20 char with a level 5 will they share xp equally?

Athene's already tried all kinds of tricks to gain experience as a low level while the high level dude does all the killing. It doesn't work at all in its current state, if you're in a group with a high level, you'll get next to no experience.

All praise Blizzard.

I ****ing hate what powerleveling turned D2 into.

Ahh, thanks for the info. That's a little disheartening. I guess I'll be rolling with two characters on release - one to play with my normal co-op group where we'll all stay within the same level range, and one to play in my spare time.

People like Athene will find a way to become world first lvl 60.

In fact, he's already found a trick in the beta. By accepting a quest, specific quest mobs will spawn. Kill these, abandon quest and go retrieve the quest again. The same mobs will spawn and you'll get a bunch of experience.

Then again, this is the beta for a reason. Hopefully Blizzard will fix shit like this.

That's... weird.
We need to confirmation on how it works in release. I don't want to play in group as level 20 if all my friends are level 21 and because of it gain more exp (or I gain less) so the level gap grows even bigger, which leads me making even less xp until I'm 30 and they 60 >_>
 
Yep, looks legit to me.

Yeah I'm pretty sure lvl 20-21 isn't much of a difference and you wouldn't notice any difference in terms of experience points. I was thinking more like a level 1 getting boosted by a lvl 20+

If real he's an idiot for posting videos instead of just quietly reporting the issue to Blizzard. He'll have his beta removed.
No actual way of knowing who he is, I don't think Blizzard will find the person :/
 
Yoshichan said:

You can see his character name is "Berta". Dunno how many other "Berta"s there are in the beta.


But anyway, who's to say he hasn't already reported it, too? Maybe the video is just proof.
 
Yeah, hopefully he's reported it. Although I thought speed hacks could only be achieved through third party software?

They have already leaked the changes right? The hatred spenders and generators.

Wait, is that it? If that's the case then the DH will be even more disappointing than its current state. This whole "spender" and "generator"-thing is a cool concept but they're already using the (basically) exact same thing for the barbarians and the monk.

Yeah, I agree that the spender/generator mechanic is already played out on the barb and monk and that the DH should have something a little bit more unique. I like the lore about the DH that says how she is always struggling to keep her hatred and discipline in balance. In that vein, I'd try to design the DH's resource like this:


1. DH's resources at rest is 50% hatred and 50% discipline. Hatred and discipline both passively recover or deplete when idle in order to return to equilibrium.

2. Using hatred skills recovers some discipline, and using discipline skills recovers some hatred.

3. When hatred and discipline values are close to 50%, DH gains a passive bonus of +20% attack, and +20% defense.

When hatred and discipline values are too disparate, DH gains no passive bonus.

If hatred is 95% or greater, and discipline is 10% or less, DH gains +50% attack, -50% defense bonus for 15 seconds. Effect cannot occur more than once every 90 seconds.

If hatred is 10% or less, and discipline is 95% or greater, DH gains -50% attack, +50% defense, +50% movement speed bonus for 15 seconds. Effect cannot occur more than once every 90 seconds.

If, through the clever usage of skills/runes/health globes, the player achieves 90% or greater of both hatred and discipline at the same time, DH gains +50% attack, +50% defense, +50% movement speed for 15 seconds. Effect cannot occur more than once every 90 seconds.

All three bonus effects share the same cooldown.


I think this would encourage a couple different playstyles of always being in balance, or of trying to become unbalanced once in a while and taking advantage of it while you can.

Isn't there still rampant cheating/botting/duping/maphack going on in Diablo II, despite Warden's presence?
It's probably an older version of Warden or something, because WoW uses Warden too and such people are instantly caught and banned.
 
Diablo II has bots auto telporting baal and diablo runs. Dozens on at a time.

They even tell you when the TP's are safe :D

Yeah, this is a good way to make the DH resource system and playstyle unique.

The buffs will need balancing of course; but the idea behind them is neat.
