Diablo 3 anyone?!!

Anyone else awaiting the release?!

Most definetely looking forward to tuesday.I bought the preorder for it.Its been such a long wait for this one.

Same bro, I know diablo was my first game as a kid excited to play! I am ready to install straight to my SSD come midnight, and my gtx 570 is ready to beast the graphic engine.

I'm going to get it as soon as it comes out but I haven't preordered it

at least this one will have some good graphics

I'm in the beta and i was impressed with the game play. it needs a few changes but it is going to support mods so im guessing we will get all that fixed up pretty fast after release.

Will it be out on any consoles? I prefer sitting on my couch playing on a console rather than use a mouse and keyboard hunched in front of my monitor

Man, i loved that game as a kid. I think I'll feel kinda akward playing computer games at this age haven't played any kinda games since highschool but screw it, I might fuck around with it while I'm stoned.

I was waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and they kept postponing, and postponing, and postponing, and then they fucked the game up...

*Yeah for a WOW wannabe game!* No more randomly generated items, you can paypal high level characters directly from the developer, purchase the best items for real $ day the game starts...

I was and will always be a HUGE fan of D1 and D2, but D3 unfortunately looks like garbage (imo).

the game design is over your head apparently.. But what they have done is basically genius for character customization & custom build developments.. I had the same feelings when I first looked it over.. There are no character levels for sale and there are no best items end game, only top tier. That's where you customize. Stats are random so you look for the stats for your build. Which means you can still have youre, Melee & up close magic, battle Mage build. Just about any build you can fathom you can make and play end game without being awful.

LOL is that Seriously what you thing? you are VERY misinformed my friend.

Armor and weapons function much as they did in previous games in the series. Players find low level gear early on, and one of the major goals/enjoyments of playing is to find better quality gear and thus improve your character's performance. One big change to the appearance of armor is the elimination of exception and elite versions of gear. Unlike in Diablo II, Diablo III characters will not find the exact same looking armor repeated on each difficulty level. Instead there are 18 "tiers" of armor, organized into something the developers call gear sets.
Each gear set has a distinctive, organized look, and thus a character wearing all (or most) of say, gear set 14, would have a cohesive, coherent appearance as the items would match each other. The developers have released numerous screenshots of the classes in complete gear sets, and they are stylish indeed. It's less clear, in advance of playing the higher levels, just how often (if ever) a character will have most or all of the same gear set on, or if characters will always be clad in a mixture of different level equipment.

Item quality is similar to that of Diablo II, with item scarcity progressing normal > magical > rare > set > legendary (the new name for unique items). There should be more mixing and matching at the highest levels, with rare, set, and legendary items of approximately-equivalent quality, depending on the random mods they spawn with.

What is the Diablo III auction house system?

Acquiring epic new gear for your characters has always been a big part of the Diablo experience. Because of this, players have found a number of different ways to trade and otherwise obtain items both within and outside of the game. Many of these methods were inconvenient and either tedious (for example, repeatedly advertising for a desired trade in Battle.net chat channels and waiting for responses) or unsafe (e.g., giving credit card information to third-party trading sites). With Diablo III, we’re introducing a powerful auction house system that will provide a safe, fun, and easy-to-use way for players to buy and sell the loot they find in the game, such as weapons, armor, and runes. Two different versions of the auction house will be available in Diablo III: one based on in-game gold, which players acquire through their adventures, and one based on real-world currency.

#1: Gear IS randomly generated. just because they have Specific looks now doesn't mean the fucking mechanic's are the same.....

#2: Paypal is used yo buy gear from OTHER PLAYERS. NOT the developers. you CANT buy max level characters, you CANT buy Max level gear right off the bat..... You COULD with diablo 2, just google Mulefactory......

#3 Just because it has an action house and Decent graphics on an MMO doesn't mean its a fucking WoW rip off. the one thing you people dont realize is Blizzard (The makers of WoW, AND Diablo...) Have stollen every good game mechanic, from 90% of the good games to MAKE WoW.... WoW IS the Rip off... yea 10 years ago it was ground breaking but since then everything it has done was taken from other games.

Hey look, someone who doesn't have their head up their ass and can actualy READ

They changed the randomly generated items back? They had definitely ruled that out for a good two years. And they most definitely were offering premade characters at a point as well - like I said, the story has been changing for the past 5 years?

As for purchasing items directly from the distributor - definitely possible although perhaps not for the general public. But once those items are out, they are out.

You two at all familiar with d2jsp? With the paypal system it will be the equivalent in D2 of nonjsp players compared to jsp players, except that it'll be real $ versus forum gold - of which blizzard takes a whopping 15% cut?

Lol, I can't help but laugh how people will actually spend money to buy virtual items in this game. I mean if that's not the biggest scam I've ever heard of please fucking shoot me. Virtual items having no real stock value, these developers are probably sitting back laughing their cunts and dicks off making up huge price tags for these digital items and ripping kids off....the cash flow these companies are getting from stupid consumers is amazing.

There's probably going to be a "warlock cape" or some shit for $100 USD.

I'm guessing $500 will be cheap for certain items. There are still D2 classic items selling for higher than that - and there's far less than ~1000 continuous D2 players (non LOD).

lol i changed it to $100. exaggerated a bit with $500.,....that would just be sad...

LOL And paper money does??? Another peice of Mis-information right there...

Virtual items are worth just as much as the PAPER you pay for them. Greenbacks or paper money used to be a representative slip to show you have ____ Amount of gold. Considering the fact that we have NO standard for Monitary value, and the World bank dictates the value of the paper you COULD say that the CEO's and Bankers who have PHYSICAL RESOURCES are sitting back and laughing their dicks off at ALL of us because what do we have?!? You dont even OWN the land, it goes to the government after you die, and so does the house thats on it because no one can afford the $600,000 to actualy OWN the house.... http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/COUNTRIES/0,,pagePK:180619~theSitePK:136917,00.html

the Truth of it is Economies are made by PEOPLE, if the PEOPLE demand something then there IS Stock value in that object.

Look up the Price of Magic the Gathering: trading cards... you might say there is no Value in the cards.... i have over $100,000 worth of resources when you take into account the Value of the cards with Age (I have a Full alpha, Beta and other sets...)

Heres a little something for you that you may not realize..... JSP doesn't just GIVE AWAY FG, you have to buy it..... you can trade for it yes, but ALL of the FG in circulation was Baught and payed for at one time. Cinsidering the fact that $100 = 3175 FG, and i know people with over 1,000,000 Fg that means they have roughly $40,000 USD worth of Forum gold which is STUCK on D2jsp..... im sure MANY of them would be willing to take a 15% Cut to withdraw the other $32,000......

As for people being split into groups there are only 2 groups: People who understand Economics and People who dont. plain and simple.

I don't know about all that technical shit.... I just like to get fucked up and play for days straight!

JSP didn't start an economy with zero currency - there was definitely some initial "free" FG put into circulation at the start. I assume the players with 1mil FG didn't pay for it all either - in fact I bet they paid for a relatively small portion of it, if any.

JSP aside, I didn't mean to offend you with post dated information. Was not aware it was such a sensitive issue or I wouldn't have vented about the long long wait they've put us through. I still intend to purchase the game with the same gift certificate I've had for it for the past 3 years. Hope it holds up to your hype.

With that much hype, it can't be as good as people seem to think it will be. I didn't think the first two were that great. Of course I played the first one years after the release date, and it was probably quite mind blowing then. Most of my playing time was spent with the second one which I found rather unspectacular. The multiplayer was great, yes. Didn't like that delete your character if you don't play it feature though. The single player was shitty, the wander slowly rapidly clicking on shit gameplay didn't do too much for me, and the storyline and characters were shit. The incorporation of actual money in game has me skeptical as well. I didn't like it when it was buy shitty map packs, don't like it here either. Or anywhere. It seems to me to be part of a trend where developers are focused more on making shitloads of dollars of the fanboys rather than actually making great games e.g. those shit rehash Call of Duty games. Why is it there are so many sequels nowadays and no original games?

Hope it holds up to your hype.

Little peice of history.... since people dont truly know it....

The company that Developed WoW (Released 10 years ago) announced a year after the release of WoW that they were working on a new game..... for the last 9 years Blizzard, the makers of Starcraft, Warcraft, WoW and Diablo have been working on Diablo 3.... Starcraft has $1,000,000 Tournaments every year.... WoW has a Multi-million dollar economy attached to the Game, and the Diablo series is legendary amongst gamers....

thinking Blizzard will fail is like thinking Apple will fail.... maybe, but its 1:1,000,000

Why is it there are so many sequels nowadays and no original games?

Simple answer: Because everything has allready been done. make a new game and its a "Rip off" make a Sequel and people who played the first are likley to play the second.
