Why wouldn't they just have a simple setting whenever you start up a game. You can check the ability to pk outside the arena on or off for your game.
I wouldn't imagine that would hurt the millions of casuals out there too badly.

Thats the part that confuses me. There are plenty of PvP servers in WoW, where you get to pk whenever you want, pending on the zone status. Its not like something like this would be hard to implement, and since its optional, they wouldnt need to bother balancing around it either...
Either way though, as a HC player who insta-quits whenever someone hostiles in a game, I am ashamed to say that I'm happy with the change >_>
Back on the topic of a simple question: Are there any details on the supposed "Inferno" difficulty?

from my memory it's just like any other d2,d3 difficulty. where the stages and acts are just repeats with the difficulty scaled accordingly. however, you get better drops and the best runestones can only be obtained in inferno. someone correct me if i was wrong

Actually Doraemon is a bit wrong (above me).
Inferno is a tad different than "just another 4th difficulty".
They are aiming for you to be at level max (60) before you reach inferno mode. In inferno EVERY monsters will be level 61 from act 1 to act 4 (whereas I think in D2 the max level of a monster was 85 or something).
They want to do this to make Inferno overall a challenge BUT also make it so any zone is as rewarding than any other, to avoid runs on the end guy over and over.
I can't exactly remember if Bosses will be different or not...
Inferno will drop the best gear available (Inferno gear).
It's impossible to say how hard it will be until we try it, Blizzard wants to make it hard though and I would not be surprised if it requires to play coop to get through it (until you are overstuff).
In other words, Inferno IS the end game, you reach the end of your leveling at the end of hell and then you try the end game content: Inferno mode.

i would imagine there's no cap on how many you can have at one time but rather how many you can cast before they start to despawn (after 9 seconds). this is just speculation of course but it seems logical if you look at similar skills (plague of toads for example).

This is GREAT news (like Heroics in WoW). Farming a single zone over and over in D2 was depressing.

I saw a Blue post that said they are aiming for Inferno to be soloable. Don't take this to mean EASY, just that it would be "possible" to do it solo. I'm looking forward to it.

Can several of your characters on your account have same nickname?
since names are not unique globally maybe they are not even unique per account?
|
is there a counter for monsters we kill? it would be good to see millions of kills after years :D

I think I saw a stream where the guy's character names were all the same. That or they were very close to being the same that I didn't notice. I'll work on getting a screenshot.
When this guy chooses a character for the AH all of the names are the same.

are slow weapons on the barb on most builds stronger then fast weapons (same dps) ?
For example with ww, bash, hammer of ancient etc..

Yes any or all of your characters can have identical names.

currently no, but there have been suggestions on the forums for account statistics like this.

I'm sure in general this is true, however in the beta, you can craft 1-h weapons with more dps than any 2-h weapons can get, AND they have a great mod (+25-35% crit damage).

Pentium D? Holy shit haha
Those are so old, kind of ridiculous what minimum is.

Well yeah Blizzard is reknown to make games that will run on the vast majority of specs.
Their games are never at the top of graphics technology in the end but it's for the best. They compensate by trying to have graphics that ages well though.
