I think it sounds really cool and is a neat idea.

I just hope they can balance it well before release

holy. fuck. balls.

Blizzard doesn't want the game to be centered around three-minute runs, but the game is centered around acquiring the best loot. This means that, inevitably, there will be rare/champion/boss/etc. runs; whether or not they will be three minutes. The game hasn't changed from the first Diablo.

inb4 anti-skill swapping encourages cooperative gameplay to get the best loot

Is it still though? They removed pvp completely.

yes, because you can still sell it to people that don't care about pvp

i love this

1. Get Diablo III free w/ purchase of WoW Annual Pass.
2. Sell loot in RMAH.
3. Use revenue to renew WoW subscription.
4. ???
5. Profit!!!




I thought they planned on adding it in a future patch? Link me to this blasphemy!

Nvm, dc.

i like the mechanic, but i wish it was always present instead of just level 60.

Yep, ever-present + XP boost would be cool I think. People will probably be doing the '3 minute runs' that Blizz hates so much to level to 60 without it.

I like that it rewards us for building a perfect skill set in whatever magic find situation we find ourselves.

Don't bot to lvl 60. Bot to get better loot too.



China won't have got pvp for sure.

It will be the same like in D2. Revive cost 1 mana at lvl 13, frozen orb without cool down....
And yet most of the skills never got really useable.

There will be major pvp build players cry that build x,y and z are overpowered/unbalanced.
Next patch balances it a bit or those classes become useless and other unbalanced builds are available.


Even with their planning bot games will look like this: Several bots prepare quests with best drops and the main bot joins those games on the final quest stage.
Just like ladder rushers do just killing diablo and baal every game, prepared by other bots.

there's no epride in pvm!
