Diablo 3 Beta Announced!

[Sidestep]

Actually yea i used maphack as well, it was a bit retarded without it. And fuuuuuu i loved my trap sin, got her to like lvl 85 on hardcore, then died a stupid death and raged for a week.

[Sintrael]

Trapsins were so boring tho -.-

Place traps, run away, wait a while, gg


If i can get time off work i'm considering rushing for ladder position btw if anyone wants to join - assuming they put the ladders back in - assuming i decide to not take the game slowly first time thru to enjoy it.

[Sidestep]

Yea i might be up for that, benny might be as well if he hasnt got loads of work on.

One other side-effect that occured to me was that it will definitely dilute the joy of finding the mega-est supercrazyhyperrareUBERITEMOFDOOM when you then sit and think, well, I could use this amazing item for my character, but it'll be worth a bundle on the auction house...

This especially is something that I think is a sad thing for the game.

Regarding auction house cuts and so on - well, that's just standard cynical money making. But the requirement of a fee of real money to list, and to 'cash out' (which I assume means get the money you've sold something for which is then held hostage to... a fee) is somehow repugnant to me. I would imagine players selling desirable (read: expensive) things would, infact, wish to circumvent these - or hike up the price. I imagine Blizzard is hoping most players will settle for the latter based on the convenience.

Seriously though, that which I mentioned first is the thing which stands out as a problem to me, as it can't be avoided that it will for some people detract from the game as it was intended to be played.

[Sintrael]

Indeed, good point. I wonder if they'll make it so you can sell literally everything on the AH or just common stuff or whatever. It'll probs be everything but i'd like some restriction

[kawe]

My impression is actually that there'd be no restrictions, however the fact of there being a listing fee and a cashing out fee AND an AH cut combined with large supply mean that common items would largely not be worth trying to list, as you'd likely just end up paying Blizzard for nothing when it doesn't sell. As such, rare items will probably be the main thing to see on the RM AH.

[delling]

I think there'll be everything on the for-money AH.

This is the ideal way for Blizzard to combat gold selling -- just like Eve making game cards available for in-game credits, or the Sony way of selling 'official' in-game gold for real money.

It's one of the biggest problems that MMOs face -- how to officially and tidily handle gold selling.

Yea i might be up for that, benny might be as well if he hasnt got loads of work on.

Crazybob the sword baba is returning for latter spot!

[Skymunken]

Back in d2, the best items you could get, namely the 2 rune words that i forget the name of, one would give you the sorcs teleport ability, the other would let you do the babarians buffs on urself.

That would be Enigma (Chest) and Call to Arms (CTA, flail).

[Abyiss]

teleporting ww baba !!! AHHHHH :D so pro .. and a ethril grandfather sword with ith rune!
