There needs to be at least one incidence of T-bagging dead enemy soldiers to be a credible book based on Battlefield 3.

Maybe they can cover the backstory on regenerating health too.

So, just so I'm clear on this... You have to pay blizzard to list an item on the AH (whether it sells or not), you have to pay blizzard again if that item sells (Source: Ars Tech), then you have to pay Blizzard a third time to transfer the money owed to a third party company that you have to pay to give you the remains of the money, and only if you live in the right area in the world.

With all that paying out, I'd be surprised if you get 10c on the dollar for everything you sell.

Except your link mentions its a flat fee to list and sell, and that its going to be a very small fraction of the higher end stuff.

I really doubt they are going to let anyone cash out to real money, its going to be for some form of in game currency. So the gold farmers will still not be interested in it.

From the Blizzard FAQ:
Can players choose to get cash from currency-based auction house sales, instead of having the proceeds deposited into their Battle.net account?
Yes, as an advanced feature, players will have the option of attaching an account with an approved third-party payment service to their Battle.net account. Once this has been completed, proceeds from the sale of items in the currency-based auction house can be deposited into their third-party payment service account. “Cashing out” would then be handled through the third-party payment service. Note that this process will be subject to applicable fees charged by Blizzard and the third-party payment service. Also, any proceeds from the sale of items in the currency-based auction house that have been deposited into the Battle.net account will not be transferrable to the third-party payment service account. Not all regions will support this advanced feature at launch. Region-specific details, as well as details regarding which third-party payment services will be supported and the fee that Blizzard will charge for the cash-out process, will all be provided at a later date.

Can we buy gold from the currency-based auction house?
Players will be able to buy and sell gold through the currency-based auction house at whatever the current market price is, as established by the player community.

I don't think you finished reading my comment. Or if you did you are just ignoring the meat of it.

That said I have to wonder if they had called this Hackamaslash or whatever and released it would the rage still be there? I mean I keep reading where people call this DRM and spyware but it seems pretty silly to me. They are just making Diablo 3 an online game. You may not like that, but it doesn't make it DRM or spyware. No one said Guild Wars or a <name a MMO> had always on DRM. Just seems odd to me.

Otherwise, if you intend to play this game like most did in Diablo 2 for the multiplayer

Wow this is old news. They did this like 3-4 days ago.

You're just now picking up on this?

Do you notice how Blue never responds to your unsubtle baiting? How does that cliche about repetition and insanity go again?

I think he means that the CoD Elite thing comes with the maps, but that's not really a sub to play them. You just get codes for them if you are a subscriber. People seem to be utterly baffled by that service and assume it is tons of things it isn't.

It wasn't that bad. The guy in the video complains about a lot of gameplay mechanics or design choices that were also present in HL2 and tries to justify it by saying "they're different types of games!" No, they really aren't that different. They both have:

1) Lengthy intro segments where you don't fight anything.
2) Lots of platforming.
3) Some puzzle-solving.
4) Prolonged vehicle segments.

If you enjoyed the HL games, chances are you'll find some enjoyment out of DNF too.
