It's basically Civ5 fantasy style, but with a heavier focus on combat.

My "retarded statements" were an hypothesis. I don't even want to use that term but you make me. I do not claim it "is this" or "will be that". You're obviously too dumb to wrap your head around it so I'm done arguing with you, Krovven. Awww did I hurt the little boy's feelings? You made more than a few incorrect statements about D3's systems. Dev even tried to correct you. You make statements about the demise of the RMAH based on how single-player gamers won't be using it. It was in your first post in this thread, and repeated later on. Post 109, 118 and again in 137.
I call you out on your ignorant bullshit and you start crying about "people like me". If you don't like people like me telling you your facts are wrong and you are an idiot for making the statements you've made based on those incorrect facts, then get your information right.
You just look like an idiot trying to backtrack and claim that's not what you were saying. You said it multiple times in multiple posts.
You've stated you don't even like these types of games, then follow that up by being super critical with asinine comparisons. Diablo 3 = Daikatana? "Quinn - I played this beta and know and see and feel that it's just another Diablo Clone". Really Diablo 3 is a Diablo clone? How did you wrap your brain around that one? On one hand you say it's just another clone, and in the other hand you bitch about how they shouldnt have deviated from the standard Skill Tree system. God forbid they try something new, which actually turned out to be better.
WoW had skill trees. Do some homework. WoW is moving away from Skill Trees with the upcoming expansion later this year. Skills trees are an illusion of choice. Anyone that has played WoW with some regularity knows this. I'm glad you like fucking your character up by making all the wrong choices. You just put 40hrs into the game to find out the way it was built you can't handle a higher difficulty. Start over. That's not fun and it's a waste of time and always has been. Give me dozens of skill combos and then it's not about whether I put the right points in the right places, it's about enjoying the pro & cons and combinations of the skills I chose.
Now here is the difference between myself, you and so many others here. I don't go around into threads of games I don't like or have interest in, talk ignorant shit about them and attack the people that do like them. I will however correct stupid shitheads like you when you can't even get the information right about something you want to talk shit about.

I hate it with a goddamn passion that I have to waste my time repeating myself because of people like you.
Multiplayer is integrated in singleplayer in such a way that singleplayer gamers can use the AH without the normally tedious steps of first getting into a multiplayer section of the game. In this way they'll use the AH as just that: a singleplayer AH. This is the first game with such an integration which is why my hypothesis is what it is.
Then don't make retarded statements such as the the game economy collapsing. It doesn't even exist yet and you are talking about it's demise, stringing together unrelated sentences to try and make your case, which have no merit.

Well, 15% isn't a fixed number, so it has no relevance to the sellers posting value. If it sells for $2, 15% is .26 cents. If it sells for $30, 15% is $4.
A listing fee or deposit is what would effect the minimum price for the seller. This however would discourage selling as real money is involved. I certainly wouldn't post a digital item from D3 if I had to pay to do so, as the item may not sell. This is the WoW AH model, but does not deal with real money.
Unless there is something I haven't seen, the value of items on the D3 RMAH will be entirely player driven. The people that do buy items from D3 RMAH will dictate the value of those items simply by paying what they are willing to pay for them. If an item doesn't start selling until it's posted at .25 cents, then that's the value.
I'm sure some twit will be willing to pay $10,000 for some uber item. Does anyone really care or feel slighted because they didn't get the item, even though you probably never would have anyways? I never saw every item in D2, especially since many weren't even in the game until after I stopped playing. So why should I care if some super uber item is found in D3 like once a month across the entire game and then sold to the willing for masses of money? I just hope that I'm one of the lucky to find whatever that item is.
Hell you never know, crafting components could become a high quantity mover and everyone could make a little here and there if they wanted.
Biggest mistake people are making though is comparing the economics of the WoW AH to the D3 RMAH. Fake Money vs. Real Money. Behaviours in D3 from both buyers and sellers will be far different from those in WoW. However, there is still the Gold AH in D3, which is more comparable to WoW. How having two very different AH's affects one another, that will be interesting.

Quinn wrote on May 3, 2012, 17:13: This even happened on rare occassions in WoW AH's, where apathetic people dropped stuff you could sell for 30gold on the AH for 2gold. The economy is player driven. So if the masses choose to let bottom of the barrel prices stick, then they stick and that's the value as determined by the players. If something sold for $30 yesterday on the RMAH and someone is stupid enough to post say five of the same item at $2 each instead...the people gaming the AH will buy up those $2 items and repost at $30 each. They will only need to sell one to make their money back and still profit, the rest is pure profit.
As for gaming the RMAH, it will be interesting to see how things play out. If it sucks, I don't feel any obligation to use it. However since it will be REAL money and not digital coin as in WoW, the business people won't be dropping $20,000 to corner a market for a day like is done in WoW.
Frankly I'm not worried at all about it and don't expect it to effect my enjoyment of the game whether I use the AH or not. There are economists at Blizz that are far more intelligent than you or I that have put this together.

Flatline wrote on May 2, 2012, 19:22: Err... I can think of multiple ways to get around that, relatively cheaply if not free (many illegal methods, some legal). And while it might filter out the amateurs, I doubt it'll filter out the pros, otherwise they would have implemented it long ago and gold farmers wouldn't show up everywhere. How would they get around it exactly? Characters and Items cannot be transferred between regions. Period.
As far as using other RMAH with characters in different regions...I'm pretty sure you can change your home region from the Account Management screen, which I'm sure can be fooled with a VPN just like any other system. But why even go through that effort? The "pros", as you put it, are just going to have multiple accounts for each region, so spoofing is going to be pointless.
I've said it many times over the years, but I get to say it again. Verno is a douchebag hypocrite.

The way he defends Blizzard like they're the greatest thing since sliced bread, one could pose a good argument for it. I'll keep that in mind for the next time you're going on about something great. After all, being a fan of something = automatic shill in your book...sooo... Just ignore the fucktards that want to attack everyone for enjoying their games of choice. I've got them all ignored, but sadly when you guys quote them I can see what was said anyways. I could give 2 shits what they have to say as in the end I won't ever be playing these games with them an that is a blessing.
Take note, I haven't replied to any of them, but they keep trying for personal attacks. Verno for example, ive ignored him for weeks, yet here he is still making personal attacks when ive said nothing to him. They just have sad pathetically lonely lives.

Put your shit in perspective.
If anyone here can actually sell some items for real money, I don't think they'll be complaining. |

Cram wrote on May 1, 2012, 17:35: I just want to point out what I think a number of us do already know, the runewords change the effect of the skill and sometimes the look. Ray of Frost does have a few variants, vid here.
Yea, those of us that aren't just out to bitch about all things D3. There are actually more options than there are in D2 per class, but the naysayers just see the base skills as being static. Someone posted an image other day with the number of options a max lvl Wizard has in D3 compared to the Sorcerer in D2. D3 tripled or quadrupled D2.
The lack of placing attribute points and attribute point requirements doesn't bother me either. I don't feel like I've lost anything from gameplay.
Auction House has gold and real money options. I'll use the gold version mostly, but maybe I'll even make a few extra $$ with the real money version.
I'm going to have multiple characters on the go, not sure if I'll finish the game with one before going to the other. Depends on how many coop games with various friends I get going. But I have intended for awhile for the Wizard to be my first toon launch night. I was originally thinking Demon Hunter, but everyone and their dog has been saying Barbarian or Demon Hunter as their first.
I quite enjoyed the Wizard in the beta. As already noted the Frost Nova + Wave of Force is a fun combo...as seen several times in the video above.

Tried a friends GW2 beta very briefly this past weekend. It ran like crap on my aging machine, so I didn't get into it. It's a beta and needs to be optimized, but Dx9, everything on low and it was still about 10-15fps, which was the same as if I had everything on medium. Doesn't give me much hope this will run very well for me.
Of what I did play, it didn't grab me.
I don't have a great desire to play GW2 but I'm sure I'll get it on sale at some point.

Alamar wrote on Apr 30, 2012, 17:34: My point is that, to many, WoW is the epitome of 'generic quests', but still has a crazy amount of variety... I agree with your point and that WoW does cover every generic quest type that every other MMO does.
WoW does also have some interesting twists on the norm. There are many, but two that always comes to mind are both in Storm Peaks, The Drakkensryd and Thrusting Hodir's Spear.
The introduction of the Phasing system, Temporary spells, vehicles, taking control on monsters, etc. has given Blizz/WoW a huge advantage over most other MMO's when it comes to quest design.

Okay. An ideal RPG, for me, is a deep, detailed world with plenty of opportunity for exploration, an interesting setting packed with lore, and a character I can grow and advance in whatever role I see fit, within reason and the rules laid down by the setting. Everything else is incidental to that. I'm not into this whole genre dogma thing. I backed Shadowrun Returns because I want to see more of Shadowrun outside of the PnP setting. You're acting like I have to subscribe to a certain set of beliefs in order to do that. Nope you don't. But I can also tell you that I disagree with you, and that I hope you don't get what you wish for in the case of Shadowrun.

WarpCrow wrote on Apr 29, 2012, 15:06: In my dreams, this game will be a huge commercial success and inspire a publisher like Bethesda to invest in a big budget open world RPG. Complete freedom of character development, combined with a party system, set in the Shadowrun universe with two or three diverse cities/regions to explore... Why? I think you entirely miss the point of Kickstarter and a small very dedicated team making the game they want to make, the way they want to make it, without massive corporate overheard quadrupling (or more) the budget.
Large publishers get a hold of this stuff, farm it out to developers that don't understand the source material and what made the original game designs popular. The result is garbage like Syndicate.

The idea of being able to visit other servers when ever I want to play with friends and then pay a small fee (or even free if I buy gems in game) to transfer ALL characters there, that's a hell of an improvement. Fully agree. I've paid for it several times now with WoW. $55 for a Server and Faction transfer is a rip-off.
Hoping other games doing these services for a fraction of the price will get Blizz to lower theirs.
