"To create that community and provide everyone who's part of that community the benefits of that community, we want them to be connected and playing online."

What the hell does that means?
WHAT ARE THE "BENEFITS OF THAT COMMUNITY" he is talking about if I only want to play solo or with buddies I know already?!
What is having to connect to Blizz servers going to bring me as advantage if I just don't want to play in pubs?

Concretely?
I am actually genuinely asking here if people can tell me some real benefits because I just can't see one I care about?

Cross Blizzard games chat? That can be the only one I can think about and while it can be interesting for some I do think it's something others may not want. Again just giving choice, if you want online stuff, you have to be online obviously. If I just want to goddamn play alone and not have people know about it, I should too

I would think that quite a few people won't want to play with random players in a game like Diablo, I never pubbed in my hundreds hours on D2 and LoD, I played with friends or alone only. I don't pretend to be the majority or something but I think people were just asking for a possibility to play offline when they wanted

I'm sure you can think of the benefits for being constantly online.

Even John Carmack likes the idea.

Actually i can think of 2 benefits of being persistently online even if you're just playing single player..

1. Preserving the value of the achievement meta-game. Even if you just play single player, the fact that some players place a great deal of importance of achievements means that it will be a lot harder for players to hack achievements.

2. Blizzard will be able to monitor for cheaters, and with the addition of anti-cheat measures, that orange legendary sword of pwnage will actually be worth something at the auction house, which is probably something you won't be able to avoid even if you're just playing by yourself.

benefits are no doubt there, its just how blizzard is going to handle it
and of course, the usual haters gonna hate deal.

eg: being forgiving of bad latency/lag despite being single player. on that count i would say sc2 is damn good at it because there wont be lag playing single player/ai, even when im required to be constantly online for the achievements, or technically so, as i can go offline during the gameplay if im not aiming for any achievements, and reconnect again if i want to get achievements

oh and surprising to see you applying/selected to be a moderator. just curious, which particular forum?

I think this is really earlier stage of beta? Even the quest sign is WoW's quest sign... ... the entire interface, from menu to in game are 95% WoW.

Anyway, that gameplay screenshot at 'Cellar of the Damned' really really stir me up for this game, OMG i can't wait to queue up at the launch and buy it!!!

if i remember correctly, diablo pee inside the underground water, thus the well water turn brownish. then u have to go underground, give some med to diablo and advise him to drink more water, then he no longer has yellow pee, so the well water become clear again.

The quest doesn't show up every time. But it does most of the time. When you see the well, beside where Cain stands, is filled with yellowish water, then you'll get that quest laugh.gif
