Only time will tell. I heard this too and I hope they stay true to that. It was much more fun in D2C when it was almost always possible to find a better item than the one you had. When the best possible item is a unique item then once you get it there is no longer any way to improve. Unique items should be like high level rares but the very best items should always be rares. | ||

Some of the best items are the rares. Only uniques could spawn +all skills which made items like Shako very valuable to anyone. I think the most valuable in D2 are still rares: rings, circlets (+skills, stats, res), or weapons (eth, fools, ias, self rep, 2 sockets). | ||

No, we get a press pass and regular ticket from blizzard each year and one of us goes to a community summit so they sent out an invite to both. All the other sites got them too - theres no NDA either, so i assume everyone will get in at the same time . | ||

Um, for clarification... the beta invite you and Rich received... was it one of the 1,000 for attending Blizzcon or was it a Press beta invite? | ||

Also , what classes are you both looking forward to the most? | ||

Part of the appeal of these games was in getting new items to make your character more powerful so you can kill stuff faster and can get even more powerful items faster. MF destroyed that dynamic. I found myself shelving "more powerful" items because those upgrades didn't have MF. The only ones I used were ones with higher MF. I liked it to a degree. It added depth. It basically forced you to have more than 1 character to be successful. The way I see it, I wasn't gimping my character for MF.. I was MAKING a character for MF, that would farm allday for very powerful items for my other characters. You have your one MF bitch then you make whatever else you want to be the powerhouse. I had a MF sorc that would feed my zon/barb for pvp. | ||

Rotterdam and I will be streaming some of it (pending the Blizzard approval, which I fully expect to come through) as soon as the beta starts. | ||

(not really looking to sit at gamestop at midnight). So far, i have had good experiences with amazon, preordered stuff usually arrived the day the game was released. Also it takes care of my natural lazyness by sending stuff to me instead of having to go get it. Sadly, at least if you are from Europe you can't buy directly from Blizzard unless you want to get ripped of majorly because they use that ridiculous 1$=1€ conversion, which means that Blizzard games are way more expensive when buying them directly from Blizzard when compared to anywhere else. | ||

No confirmation but its how they've done WoW and sc2. | ||

I actually found a kings sword of haste once that was also duped to oblivion. Unfortunatly it was in singleplayer and it was only a falchion and not a bastard sword. I played as both legit and not legit. Unless you wanted to be bothered to use an antihack you had no idea what was real and what was duped into oblivion. Not to mention, nine times out of ten the other people in a multiplayer game would all have inventories full of duped stuff, and would use trainers to dupe things again or to guarantee certain items would drop etc. It was annoying for me personally in D1 because it kind of ruined the gameplay experience, if you didn't want to use dupes then you either had to solo, party with people all using dupes/trainers, or get lucky and find the occassional pocket of legitimate players. I really hope the RMAH inspires Blizzard enough to get rid of duping/botting and the like. Heres to hoping I get in the beta because my computer is much better than the average... I got into the SC2 beta for the exact opposite reason however. <3 Sandy Bridge. | ||
