Watched the Diablo 3 trailer...Looks awesome...But one thing I still don't like...The drops are still random ffa and people are gonna be idiot loot whores still with the whole "Zomg it dropped on the ground GET IT!" bullshit. They should change it so it has rules for loot like WoW. The Diablo 2 community is bad enough with that shit. Honestly...if we have an 8 player game doing baal runs...and we kill baal, in less than 0.5 seconds, all the items are picked up by idiots. They just click click click click grab anything they can. They should really change that.

[vladgd]

im pretty sure they are changing the looting up, but there isn't really information about that.

plus, if you really want looting to be fair, play with friends, i mean, if "EPIC AXE OF DOOM" drops, and you are the only barbarian...if your friends aren't retarded, you should get the axe.

but for random pub games, i do understand, and i do hope they have something in store in terms of looting.

[Bobbias]

With the way blizzard is, they quite likely will. It'll be a good question to ask on the forums,s ince Blizzard also has a habit of letting people ask lots of questions about the game (see SC2 forums) and releasing quite a bit of info about random things/ideas/current production status on some things.

It's actually quite surprising how much info Blizzard is willing to let out.

[vladgd]

well, they want to make the best damn game possible, and make all the fans happy.

so what better way to do this?  get feedback from the FANS, and they seem to be doing so quite well with starcraft 2, its only logical they do the same thing with diablo 3.

i expect near weekly Q&A threads with questions answered just like the sc2 forums. 

*edit*

ohh yea, theres an interview video up on gamespot, and the guy did state that they did want to have a good loot system, among other things.  so i wouldn't much worry about d3's looting system.

[Bobbias]

Awesome. D3 is making e very excited.

[vladgd]

ok, i am attempting to do something i haven't yet done.

play diablo 2, solo, from normal to hell, and becoming a patriarch (beating hell difficulty, aka beating the game)

started this character yesterday, im fairly twinked out the ass, currently in a3 nightmare, lets just hope i can drop hell baal when/if i get to him.

also, a few levels ago, it was pretty interesting having a whopping 11 points into skeleton mages...when i didn't even put a single point into the mages.  the image shown is maxed skeletons and skeleton mastery, with one point put into everything else.  fire golem for standard mobs(his aura = more dudes on him, less on me), clay golem for bosses(decreep + clay golem slow = boss can barely move), summon resist because you are stupid not to get it, revives are pretty much 11 monsters for one point.  blablabla, olol at skill level 32 skeleton and skeleton mastery.  when i hit level 66 and put on my marrowalks, i will have skill level 34 skeleton mastery. (ohh what i would give for a +1 summons grand charm, i only have +1 poison and bone skills grand charm.  i will find one...or three someday.)

BOOYAH!



also, players 8 until i hit hell, haven't died/had ANY problems whatsoever yet.

and a last note, would you be surprised that i don't care if my favorite class (NECROMANCER) doesn't make it to diablo 3? 

yep

*edit*

ehh to explain the stats

the strength was needed to wear marrowalks, the dex is for maintaining max block because necros get shit for health per vitality point, and i pump vitality when i don't need to invest into dex for obvious reasons.  basically if i level, and my block says 75%, its ok to add to vitality, if its anything lower than 75% it goes into dex.

for the most part the skeletons absorb everything, but if the odd ranged attack/me being retarded running into the middle of enemies attack goes to me, i have a high chance of not taking damage.

Do you play on open battle.net at all, I would be down to play wif u.

[vladgd]

i wouldn't mind taking an offline character on the open battle.net or hamachi.

though, id take either

A- my level 20 conc barb who just finished radament

B- my level 57 and rising necromancer, who is making progress rather quickly

it would be pretty bitchin' to get a few more people together, maby a vent server, and do this all over hamachi (i figure hamachi is awesome because it is online lan pretty much, and the people who hate blizzard and pirate their games can get on) could be a good time.

[Bobbias]

Hell, I could set up my own b-net server. I've got everything I need.

[vladgd]

well i mean, if i can't use my offline characters, i won't play.
