diablo 3

I feel like PvP in a game like Diablo wouldn't be that fun

I never did it in the previous games but the game mechanics just seem weird
 
I played the fuck out of Diablo and Diablo 2. I will play the fuck out of this one, too.

from what i've played of beta, yes, the game will be worthy of wasting hundreds to thousands of hours on

I trust blizzard to make quality games, not like fuckin EA or hirez.
 
i was semi-optimistic about it until i heard that they're discarding the end-boss farming (they only drop good shit the first time you kill them) and instead make random elites or elite mobs drop good lewt.

what the christ? that sounds frustrating as hell. so you need to roam around the map at random covering ALL OF IT hoping you MIGHT run into an elite mob this time around, and they MIGHT not be some absurdly op combo (lems/whatever), and they MIGHT drop some good lewt? fuck that shit.

not like farming baal was the best thing ever, but at least it was reliable and you were probably going to get SOMETHING. really not digging where they're headed with this.
 
nono, if i can dig up the blue post....

they are working on something that ties in champion/elite kills to the act boss...give me a few minutes to find that shit

edit: got it, damn im good

The designers have been working on and testing a system that actually ties the rare/champion pack kills to boss kills quite nicely. It seems like it's solid enough for us to talk about the intent and goals even though it's still in testing, we can look into sharing more about it ... SOON.

I just realized this is another thread calling me out in the title... oops.

I do wish there was an option to move via keys. Wasd + mouse worked well for Bloodline Champions, which is basically Diablo+WoW arena.
 
if they did implement a key movement system they would probably have to rebalance / change alot of shit in order to accomodate it

and i guess its more a game play choice than their ability to implement it
 
I'm normally all for PvP, but I don't see it being very good in D3. Especially considering the devs said they aren't going to really be balancing anything for PvP and it's just added in as a bonus. So basically, there's only going to be very specific classes/builds/gearsets that are going to work well, which is never much fun. Pretty much just going to play the game to smash the fuck out of monsters and get phat lewts. Something to do til GW2 comes out.

Eh, there goes that failed humor again. You're MORE likely to get stuck in a click-to-move game because it has to path-find to wherever you clicked. And ironically the hill and game in question where my character got stuck, was click-to-move (Lineage 2).

Jokes are supposed to be correct btw. That's what makes them clever and funny. Np.
 
Man, I lived for pvp in D2. The whole point of farming items and wasting hours in trades etc was to better kill people. I don't care about any arena system, just going out of town and saying "rdy" worked well enough. Blah.
 

Still waiting...
