In D3, who cares if you got a good stuff or not ?

Even if you don't have the best of the best stuff, it will be possible to finish the inferno part. Then you can start farming. Ok you will take more time to kill mobs but still you can do it.


I am not gonna buy from RMAH (at least i dont plan to yet), because the feeling of looting an "omgwtfbbq item" is by far what is fun in the game. Buying it from rmah will be like a gift when i was 7, i played with it non stop for 2 or 3 weeks and then get bored...

That is not fake, but means nothing. Its not gonna be Feb 1st, thats for sure.

Much interesting though is that german diablo fan-site has information that Blizzard has booked some shipment german warehouse for D3 game boxes in 7th and 8th week of the year, meaning game will be probably released late Feb/early Mar. Along with evidence that manuals and boxes are printed, this is very interesting. Blizzard booked warehouse in Nov and then cancelled, so its not 100%, but come on, they are making boxes and CEs already!

Since the beta was originally supposed to run 6 months and it started in september, so I'd say mid-late february is a solid date
The game was announced back in summer, 2008, so they've been working on it over 3 and a half years, should be enought do get everything done

As long as the end-product is good I'm fine with that.

It's when money is the reason for bad design there is a reason to be upset.

At the moment I don't see that game design have been sacrificed for money.

Yep, unless you count RMAH that is.

That OP confuses the hell out of me.

Agree with item/gold buying?

What about item/gold buying? Being able to? People actually doing it? It being formally sanctioned by Blizzard as opposed to not?

I mean its a given part of the game. There is nothing you can do!

It might as well say "Do you agree with gravity" to me.

I wonder if bliz will balance the dropchance for legandaries so actual human players (not bots) or chinese farmers will be able to find legendaries at all. It seems to me that either way they do it, it will turn out bad.
Either the market gets flooded with legendaries because of all farmers and bots or the only way you will ever see a legendary is the RMAH because the drop rates have been so nerfed.

I think I am sticking to hardcore tbh.

Botting will be hard since the client doesnt know what the next block looks like until they close in on it. Or if outdoors, they dont know what elements the outdoor area has been populated with.

There really isnt anything stopping people from playing the game a whole lot though.

Isnt the RMAH locked to your region ? So theoretically someone from china not got on EU RMAH ? Sure if they have someone in europe to buy EU version and register them then just send the acc info to china. But im hoping blizzard will actually try to somehow prevent/block that kind of thing. I want my EU moneyzzzz

My opinion is that it is a shit poll that proves nothing.

There is not enough options, the place it is posted is not representative, the question is already biased.
Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

I like the fact they have already made clear boss-running will not be worth it anymore (at least not nearly as much as in D2?)
From what i could tell from playing the Beta at least, "first-kills" of bosses give a massive increased chance of good drops. Sometimes upto 3 rares on FK, yet pretty much only Magic items on kills afterwards.
So apparently clearing whole areas will be more rewarding, which i persoanlly like alot.
I have always enjoyed this in D2 aswell but it felt a bit pointless exp wise mainly. D3 should be less aimed at gaining experience though anyhow.

+1 to sticking to hardcore, have been mainly playing HC aswell @ Diablo 2. Am still now and then actually, starting from scratch after ladder-resets with friends never gets old for me... untill Diablo 3 get released. =)
Though i have no idea yet how smart it is to switch over from softcore to hardcore fairly quick.
I will probably find out the hard way.... T_T

Ontopic;

Bashiok about SK GRB's slacking :
This can only end in disappointment. When a final decision is rendered and game still isn't released, finally people will realize the two weren't linked, as stated. But then the game still won't be out, so still no one is happy. I suppose those are just the ups and downs you have to expect when following something so closely.


And a few days ago;

Bashiok:
Our official target is still "early 2012".


Then yesterday;

Blizzard Quote:
We probably won’t end beta until shortly before release, and traditionally we’ve tried to announce release dates about two months before release. I couldn’t speculate how invites might ramp up or down when the beta finally comes to a close, it definitely is not coming to a close yet though.
Bashiok did say there was a strong possibility of a demo after release.
We’ll probably make a trial edition at some point. It’s sort of a demo I suppose, but it’s a bit better because it’s essentially the full game just with locks put on certain areas. So you’d be able to jump into multiplayer games with your friends, but maybe you wouldn’t be able to play beyond a certain place and wouldn’t have access to all the game systems (certainly not auction houses) but if you choose to buy the game all that stuff just unlocks.


tl;dr : nothing concrete as usual, but at least it'll be done "soon" ™ right...
If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything

I am not sure Diablo 3 will have ladder or ladder resets at all.

Telling the new generation of gamers that they have to start from scratch in order to get access to the new items and stuff is not going to go over well.

I'm fairly sure there won't be ladder at D3, at least not at release. but most likely never)
Hence i said D3 will be less aimed at gaining experience. =)
It has pro's & con's I guess but as always time will tell how it will pan out, knowing Blizzard it'll be fine eventually and any Diablo fan will be playing this game for quite some time !

Yes. Bashiok still has not said a single concrete statement since taking up the name. That is his job though.

He also said something to the effect of "We cannot be expected to prevent stores from making up there own release dates for the game"

This is different from "They made up a release date"

So more trolling.

1. There is enough options. Yes or no forms a completely exhaustive and mutually exclusive set.
2. No voluntary poll is representative.
3. The question is not biased. The question is not "do you agree with the money-grubbing, game-destroying, RMAH in Diablo 3?". That would be a biased question. The question is simply "Do you agree with item/gold buying in RPG/MMORPGs?".

Well seriously, I wonder if anyone who actually played the old school blizzard's game can rejoice himself from the RMAH and the growing arrival of non free services in most games. But at some point you got to accept that the video games are not what they used to be - a little scene for a few young male because that is what it was - but more like one of the biggest entertainment business.

As I've been saying all alone, the game is NOT delayed because of the GRB, it's delayed because the isn't done.

Their even going to release information about NEW game systems soon.
