I like that they are account wide, so you feel the progress across all your characters. It will be a cool change. I am also hoping for some truly nuts loot this time. They need to cut lose and just make some crazy shit. That was half the fun of games like borderlands 2, was crazy guns that were chain gun sniper rifles that shot acid. Or pistols that shot shotgun blasts a mile..

I didn't pay for interviews, I paid for the product inside the box and so did you.

actually, if they promised you something in interviews, they cant just say "we didnt say it on the box."

But what made the crazy guns work was that you couldn't just pop in to an online store in Sanctuary and search for people selling Jakobs-base sniper rifles with vladof barrels that had at least a magazine size of 5 and shot lightning bullets... so when you got a drop of an E-tech weapon that shot bouncy bullets or an SMG that shot bullets in a spiral or a fucking railgun, it wasn't a game of looking at the stats of the gun and going "Oh okay this is a decent roll, I can probably sell this for a decent price on the AH" or "Well this is a shit unique, vendoring this one!" It was "Oh I got a cool gun that shoots bullets in a spiral check this out guys! pewpewpewpewpewpew!"

The auction house hurts the crap out of D3, but it isn't going anywhere. If I do get this expansion or any other ones, I'll be playing with buddies and without the Auction House, so the drops we get are actually relevant to our own playthroughs ^^

I just assume so.

If you remember there used to be traits/perks tied to the current system that greatly influenced how you built your character. If they bring back stats+something like those old traits it could do wonders for the game.

They've talked a lot about the lack of character customization in recent interviews etc, so I guess they're addressing that issue but the thing is supposedly Paragon 2.0 system is account-wide. How the hell is it supposed to influence individual characters with that in mind?

They've said in interviews that they want to make the game have content you can enjoy indefinitely. I hope the nephalem trials(hopefully endless dungeons) do just that.

And yes, current D3 endgame is pretty boring. AH has a lot to do with it, itemization, lack of character customization.

Ladder would make the game 1000x times better. having a self found mode would be even better, AH just kills a lot of what made D2 special which was the item hunt.

I don't get how an expansion from ~13 years ago can introduce 2 new classes and an expansion now, priced the same way as the aforementioned one, can get away with just one. And have cut features from the initial release as its calling cards (sup, Mystic!). And have people defend these things because there will be another expansion later on, priced at the same 'friendly' price as this one.

Well done, PR and marketing departments!

The Loot 2.0 calling card, which really should've been Loot 1.0 or at the most Loot 1.5 or thereabout is at least forgivable in that everyone makes mistakes, at least they're trying to fix them sort of way. It's still pretty obnoxious that they're trying to market the game based on how much of a failure the initial release was.




What I've gathered from devs/pr guys talking customization was that they were basically referring to transmogrification and not to my baba being different than your baba.

Being that I quit WoW before transmog ever existed I too was confused/hopeful at first. Welp!

I know that my ~70ish paragon points are all going into Magic Find first thing I do after login. If I buy this thing, which I'm not sure about anymore. Didn't buy sc2 expansion for a reason after all. :p

Didn't read all the details on this...but...

Essentially Blizzard is taking everything promised in upcoming patches (and missing features from initial D3 launch) and trying to sell it back to you?

Don't use the AH. Self found mode done. D3 now 1000x better.

No, I believe any gameplay changes are going to be patched in the original game for free. At least I read the new loot system will be implemented for free.

As I understood it, the loot system was going to be for level 70 gear, and the level cap increase is for the X-Pac. Could be wrong though.

Polish Diablo III Community Manager, Wuluxar, has confirmed that changes made to the game systems will be available to all Diablo III players as a free patch:

Translation:
Forum user: “It’s likely that when the expansion comes out (or shortly before that) there will be a 2.0 patch.”

Wuluxar (Blizzard): “Changes to the game systems will come in a patch preceeding the release of the expansion – they will be available to all players, including the ones that don’t have the expansion (of course for free).”
