Here's to hoping gold will have value.

It will, one of Blizzard's main concern for D3 was to actually have gold as a stable currency. There are a lot of gold sinks in this game, and from wut i've read so far, it seems to be on the order of magnitudes better than D2 in terms of any form of economy. This will be one of the biggest game launches in history, I'm sure Blizzard wont' mess it up

Will LAN or will not LAN?
This is the question?

I heard why its taking so long is to make a goat level and they can't decide on the perfect goat sound

How many wives/girl friends, will we lose this time Blizzard?

 

[Pherule]

I wouldn't mind them using a copper/silver/gold currency system. In D2 you'd have hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and tbh that is somewhat unrealistic and makes gold seem like dirt.

Having silver worth about triple or four times the value of gold in D2 would be nice, and then have the actual D3 gold worth 10 or 20 times more per coin.

This is not a rts. I was a hardcore D2 player and I dont see the point. Non-legit characters? lol

 

[cyberthug]

No point in LAN mode imo..

Cabal and Everquest 1 are only two games I've played that use a very simple auction system for selling items in game without having to use shouts and massive tells. To say that held up the game process as if they were inventing something that has not already been in use for years is laughable. They are slow on getting this game out the door because Blizzard has too many hit games now that WoW, Diablo's 1 and 2, and the original Starcraft have received such good reviews. Way to go on making great games but now employ the staff to keep up with the demand! Diablo 3 is taking as long to come out as Duke Nukem Forever or Jumpgate Evolution

Mobs dropping gold after been killed seems not a good idea. Letting them drop items that you can convert them to gold in town make more sense. And the system can has a better control of inflation.

"We have people in-house with doctorates and degrees in statistics and economic analysis and all the know how to pull it off."

talk about overkill. just make it like ebay

 

[robochump]

^^True. perhaps instead of just gold perhaps trading should be in place. like hides or furs given in trade for goods.

 

[chichad]

Diablo III, my wife already hates you....

 

[bd26]

Good to hear.

New trading system and auction house kind of worry me. One of the best things I liked back in diablo 2 was social bartering. Hope they dont cut it out, so the trades and selling turns out like an mmo for the players convenience.

Alice Madness Returns
Battlefield 3
Diablo III

I can't remember ever having so many highly anticipated releases within a 12 month period. I think it's safe to say that all three of these are guaranteed buys for me.

world of diablo 3 craft. diablo 3 isn't a dialbo game at all from what i've seen it looks EXACTLY like WOW and warcraft III. diablo 2 was amazing it's a shame they broke the mold after they made it. all blizzard needed to do was make it just like D2 but with better graphics. i hate that all of blizzards cut scene are terrible now. thanks WOW.

 

[pirateboy]

Really? I've heard this argument about Starcraft 2 as well. Can't you just used a shared internet connection and play together online?

That's why I said a shared internet connection. Because you'd all be in the same place.
