I'd like to see at least one character that was heavily identified with the original PlayStation and has since been forgotten, similar to Ice Climbers and Pit in Smash Bros, but I can't think of who that could be.

Sir Daniel Fortesque.

Do it, Sony.

I guess the ToS interpretations are going to vary here. To me, this is all that matters to make me feel fine about the whole thing.

Google:
Some of our Services allow you to submit content. You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content. In short, what belongs to you stays yours.

Sure, there may be loopholes, but I honestly doubt that stuff will ever ever ever ever ever effect me.

This is really dumb, though.

I take it you don't use Gmail or any other Google services then? Because that TOS applies to all of them.

Anyway, I think people are overreacting here. Nothing is going to happen to your stuff. Google is never going to argue control over your stuff. Google is never going to claim ownership of your stuff.

My biggest issue with Google Drive is the ToS, which states they own anything you upload to the service. That's unheard of for a cloud storage solution. That blows my mind.

Not quite.

Not in the countess case in particular, but the general idea behind that concept of difficulty is enjoyable, yes.

For instance my lightning trap assassin has some difficulty with The Pit due to the lightning immune archers, but it's fun using crowd control skills, my shadow master, and my merc to topple one of them and then to domino them all down with death sentry. If I could just respec it'd be easy to just max out wake of fire and crush that dungeon easily, due to the fire immunes there being much less threatening fallen. It'd be easier, but less fun. At the same time yes I could do it that way and ignore the infinite respec system, but I generally don't like to feel like I'm intentionally limiting myself when I play games. It cheapens the experience for me. That's not to say I never do challenge runs but that's generally after I've beaten the game a few times.

Having to compromise from the optimal course of action is part of the fun of any difficulty d2 has. Bringing in a WW barbarian is viable too (though I don't see a ww barbarian coming along and running countess with you if you do it a lot unless you're splitting loot which makes the runs less efficient anyway) but that's fun cause you're playing with a team. It's good that teams work better than individuals in hell.

I think you're overlooking the "survival" aspect of Diablo 3.

Everything they've talked about has implied that switching builds depending on the situation isn't going to make things any easier in the higher difficultly levels. It's more about the general strategy of staying alive, not getting hit, kiting things around, etc. and less about elements and resistance. Sure, they'll come into play a fair bit I assume, but it doesn't really matter anyway because of the way skills are handled.

Let's use the Wizard as an example. As a Wizard, you aren't going to have to rely on just ICE or FIRE or what have you. You'll have 6 major skills to choose from, and you aren't limited to elemental trees. So if you came up against a Fire/Ice immune countess in D3, you'd just use your arcane magic or whatever else you're using. So I don't think you'll be switching skills very much.

Regardless, the key to remember is that they're balancing the endgame around survivability first and foremost. Notice how much emphasis they're putting on snares and stuns in this game. They really want to give you to the tools to effectively dodge and avoid getting damaged.

Look, I know you're skeptical. I'm just saying you should probably wait and give it a fair chance before you say things like "it will absolutely not work."

I think his criticism that how things are now, there's no reason to re-create a 2nd character of the same class is valid.

Honestly, I find this to be a good thing. However, I'll still probably end up making a male and female of each class, just because.

Well I just know how the Diablo franchise tends to work.

Waves of enemies with predictable patterns, and any difficulty is in being able to weather waves of them using your limited arsenal of tools rather than pure execution for the most part. There aren't many enemies that are particularly tricky to figure out-- the dangerous ones outside of immunities which hose your build (no longer an issue) are cheap tricks like ridiculous lightning damage from invisible guys that can be launched from offscreen or absurd explosion damage upon death or glitched poison-- all of which can easily be dealt after the first time with any build if you had infinite respecs.

That's all fine and dandy, but have you played Inferno difficulty yet?

Until we get a real idea of the D3 endgame, I agree. But still, why even argue it?

By the way, PM me your email address or something so I can add you on Battle.net.

Honestly, I don't even see the point in arguing this until the game is out. Guessing how hard/easy a game is going to be is kind of hilarious.

Pretty good read for those saying that D3 is shallower than Diablo 2 when it comes to Stats/Skills.

Basically, you're wrong.

From what I can tell, it looks like they made the first difficulty level pretty easy, and made up for it by adding an extra difficulty that's harder than Hell mode was in D2. Pretty clever way of extending the experience.

Oh and yeah, it's seriously good. Like, really good.

Yeah, WoW stole a lot of the stuff that worked from Diablo 2, and now Diablo 3 is stealing a lot of the stuff that works in WoW. It's kind of nice.

Absolutely. If we both got jobs at 22 Cans, we'd both be making significantly more than we make right now, which alone makes it worth it. It would take a lot of adjusting, but it seems like it would be fun.

Eh, not really. Pretty much every character in D2 had the same cookie cutter stat placement that if you didn't follow, you were basically wasting points. Blizzard does the same thing in WoW and it works well. You don't have to place stats in that game, and instead you just focus on collecting items to increase them. The skills and the ways you tweak them are the real character customization.

Also, there's an increased emphasis on item customization in D3, so it actually opens up more options and makes stat placement interesting instead of stressful.
