How do you think the chests should be in D3 ?
Well, in D2 they are useless and i personally never got anything good from a normal chest (not the end map ones)
Chests in D2 are a waste of time and not worth the click spent on them, and if you take into consideration that some of them are traps, even better ….

This got to Blizzard’s ears, here is what Bashiok says

There have been a few discussions about chests, what
they meant in the previous game, and what they’ll mean in Diablo III.
Currently there are no locked chests, and it’s not something we’re
looking to reintroduce for now. We have discussed varying chest quality
and types, adding randomness not only to the appearance of a chest but
also the value of items it may drop or possibly specifically what types
of items it’s guaranteed to drop. Mix it up a bit and make finding a
chest exciting, but make finding a special chest something even rarer
and more exciting. It could certainly make exploring the entire floor
of a dungeon more compelling before moving on.

There is hope for the Chest in Diablo III after all
I am glad that they will not introduce locked chests (does not fit in the diablo image – the barbarian would just smash it open 🙂 ). The chest must mean something, it must contain something of value that is worth the risk. We know that in D3 there will be more traps and the risk of getting killed at every step increased, so make everything random, the content and appearance of the chest BUT increase the value of the drop.

The Diablo 3 chest must contain something that can not drop from a dead corpse or by killing a normal monster. Each chest should be harder to find and with e prize inside 🙂

There are rumors on the internet about Blizzard wanting to warp in D3 before Starcraft 2
Here is the actual rumor (people say that this info leaked from someone inside Blizzard) :

[Starcraft 2] is still being worked on, but only by a minuscule amount of people compared to what [Blizzard] put on the Diablo 3 team.

This is NOT TRUE !

We all know that S2 is way ahead in development than D3.
How can people be so ignorant, it is not possible and Blizzard will never do this. Think about the marketing, the money involved the hype around Starcraft 2. It would be a small disaster if D3 would be released first.

So people, stop day dreaming … i know it is painful to wait such a long time for Diablo3 but it is worth it. DO not spread around rumors that it will be released sooner…

YES
People are asking this: why do fans want this game dark and creepy ?
And the answer is : Because Diablo is not Warcraft

Diablo3 is not a

• happy game
• bright colored game
• religious game
• fantasy game
• pokemon ?!
• rainbow and flower filled game
• game for children

Do you know what it is ? or what it should be ?
D3 must be a gore filled – fast paced – lore enhanced – dark and disturbed – insane – hack & slash game with tons of blood and hordes of monsters.
This is my personal opinion on the game

This is the New Inventory Screen on DiabloIII. It is different indeed but i have to say i like it. It reminds me of Diablo1. I have to say that the Barbarian looks great on the new screen. I do miss the old D2 layout and the way you put the items on the character.. but that is life, things have to change.

I like the new way the items are placed also, although it reminds me of different games..

Another major improvement is that we can rotate and zoom on the character, this way you can really look at those uniques 🙂

Some don’t like it the new inventory screen but i do and i hope the GOOD changes continue.

Did you notice that there are fans (huge number) that don’t actually know the D2 game ? I mean they know the major places/bosses and all the quests, but they don’t actually know the whole game …

There are players that don’t know 90% of Diablo2 because they warp through the game do the quests and kill the bosses. Once they reach a boss or a good farming area they run through that hundred of times. After you finish the game in Normal more the boss farming starts. From running Meph and Andy for example and the Ball minions for exp the game is put on hold.
People farm like crazy for Magic Items and Experience. Everyone needs better gear and more power.

In Diablo 3 things should change a bit, i suggest:

• Create more “good farming areas”
• Spread them through the game so the player has to actually play it.
• Make the Bosses harder to reach
• Create mini-bosses in each cavern so the player has a reason to run it
• Make D3 harder to warp through in 1-2-3 days

Don’t get me wrong i like to farm bosses like any other diablo fan but i would like to see more of the game, not just the same area a thousand times.
Diablo 3 is beautiful and Blizzard must make the players see it all, not just the important parts and areas
