Hmm... not sure if this is something good or not.
IMO, this will make your gears "old school" again.
You hundred million gears will become scrap again.

XD.. lucky never spend hundreds million.. i just borrow that skorn.. lol

sounds good to me. I didn't really read the whole thing la but the impression is now crap legendaries can be good right?

and the rares can be good also.

i think the top ends legendaries won't be affected or else there will be an outrage.

Blizz strategy to keep us spend money on upgrading.. like they intro new/enhanced legs/sets in 1.04 and NOT to buff existing items..

Actually, it has created many scraps.
i.e. rare quiver for DH. Mojo for WD. Source for Wiz.
It's actually become scrap gear.

If the existing gears are good enough for MP10, what's there to upgrade?
Perhaps we will have paragon level up to 300 & monster power up to 20 soon.

believe me, for rich player they will upgrade.. like Radiant Star to Marquise.. extra 1% life, 4 Stats, 10% CD (unless for Ruby on weapon).. I see many players using Marquise now..

as expected... need new and better stuff for people to keep grinding since gameplay and maps so limited

Chiiiiiing brown "crossbow" on the floor
WOW NICE...yahooo a manticore

pick up ....cheh #$%^*#@ Hellrack

they should buff Hell rack dmg also la...now see 80% DH all use manticore ...ptui..

WD use EF
Barb use EF
Monk Use EF
wizard use EF
DH use EF

I read somewhere ..and i think it was here ...to do unid market in AH...not a bad idea actually.
for those who like to gamble and poor fag like me..

in addition there's another blue post regarding mob density and class itemization.

i agree to travis where he is trying to bring people grind for monster instead of AH, just like in 1.0.7, which is a good way to go.

on the other hand, if any ilvl legendary is going to drop in inferno while legendary drop rate remains the same, meaning chances we will get EF or Mempo or any potential end game legendaries will become lower. would love to see how travis buff all other legendary to make us still have the 'wow' effect.

i wonder how will ilvl63 leorics gonna look like? 200 dex, 6cc, 30 exp and 7 pickup radius?

they are trying to change this, isn't it?



well i kinda look forward to this hahaha.. it would be cool to see a meelee dh isn't it

"So, the question instead becomes: how can we refocus the end game away from farming the auction house back to farming monsters? It's a complicated issue, but one we are committed to addressing." -Quoted-

Just bring it!

"We are also exploring ways to make crafting more exciting by adding not just more ways to make appealing items, but also introducing ways to modify existing items."

How much would you pay to add a socket to your weapon?

wow manti with 3 soc

EF with 2 socket!!

Look like they will be disappointed.

"In the future, we plan to allow Legendary items to also roll their base stats (weapon DPS and armor value) at the level of the monster that dropped them"

in d2 lod there are recipes to upgrade normal and exceptional version of unique and rare items to their elite counterparts. some items becomes much more powerful and very sought after when upgraded to elite, e.g. arreat's face, gore riders, ethereal shaftstop, hoz, ribcracker etc.

think of upgrading d3 buriza to become a lvl60 item.

Patch 1.0.8 looks good. MultiCraft, removing unwanted stats for classes

So how many months to wait? LOL

From the forum:


The only changes we've confirmed to be working on for 1.0.8 so far are Identify All, a new multi-craft option, monster density adjustments, and AH comparison tooltips.

yeah, hopefully less AH, more farming..it's more fun that way, see many "HOW TO Auction House" today, ebook bla2, they focus more on AH then playing in the world of Diablo..no fun..no fun

i feel your pain bro, sometimes i fell asleep listening to that

kat tooong ....
kat toooong
kat toooong...

imagine, from flawless square to radiant star, 364 times kat tooooong...

i just wish they implement the number of gem we want to craft, ie, with all sufficient resources, i just key in the number and auto combine itself, then i can go do some other real life stuff...

This... this is the best post.

They will include that no?

I feel you... I... I... have a solution that I can't talk here. pm me if you are interested.

They should make HF ring more appealing to PL100 players .. once u hit max para, most probably u will ditch the HF ring @ stop doin ubers altogether ... all those hours grinding for keys n organs to craft a good HF ring down the drain.
It would be nice if they remove the "chance to launch xplosive ball of hellfire" affix & replace it with an extra random roll. I even dont mind if they raise the crafting cost for HF ring.

blizz..

pls give us
material pickups that you can enhance your gear at blacksmith (ie permanently add main affix or things like 0.01 attk speed)

You inspire me.
what if it can roll:
- Chance to launch explosive ball of hellfire
- Chance to freeze
- Chance to fear
- Chance to stun
- Chance to ...

ok PM u now

yeah those "chance to" will definately be much better than the existing xplosive blast .. plus it'll lead to more diversified builds around DoT type of attacks (which now are rarely used due to most popular builds revolves around using highest dps possible attacks) .. gears such as rare gloves, belts, boots with possibility to roll those "chance to" affixes will not end up being salvaged/vendored too.

nice, good things happening after JW left?

+1

I'd managed to craft 1 emerald, 1 ruby and 1 amethyst marquise gem from the quality of flawless square.

So far based on my experience, I've decided not to craft another marquise gem anytime soon.

PL100 playa should received tons of bonuses:

30 yard pickup radius
Another extra 100% Magic Find
Increase damage by 15-20% (its only right)
Increase all resistance by 40%
Increase passive movement speed by 10%

A special aura

The aura alone would be good.

Something like holy freeze from D2 paladin..

oh yea man, that holy freeze aura is like sittiing on a cloud.

best looking aura in d2 and d3

this i cant agree more.

a sense of achievement and motivation to reach PLvl 100 for others

let's do that on plvl200

NOOOOOOOO

in addition for PL 200... MP 20..

I wish d3 can do like more than 4 man raid....

good...plenty of good lookin legends in the low tier, but BiS will still be BiS, just that which will be the next BiS, then back to square one, all be runnin around with it (or hoping for it).

i still would like see UNiD in AH, it creates gold sink and gambling purpose like in D2, also for players to generate few coins.

Serious bro? Rekindle the love/hate relationship with those intense grinding all over again

plvl 200? not sure if sane human is possible to that

oh...might wanna stack up those low level legends recipe...just for prep, incase those crafted legs also going for a revamp in 1.08.

its a gamble, until official notes is out, nothing is certain...so sendiri buat, sendiri tanggung.

hahaha jk bro, not gonna do that again lolol

hell nooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i can die ,,,,

one more thing .. shouldnt they increase the stash size for some items like FSq gems too 1000 per stack instead of 100 ?
ToS and other stuffs as well ...

and should fix the main stats of some items.. like IF gloves dont give me 240 dex laa..

this one..


Attached thumbnail(s)

lol 240 dex. so sad man.

Lol... Welcome to mmorpg.. Other game have like lvl 250.. So far on other rpg my highest 160.. Grinding to death.. Yes can go PL 200 if got expension on the journey of diabloing.. If not.. I will continue sleeping front of my pc again...


Few minute later...

"We've also discussed allowing bosses the first time you kill them in each difficulty to have a guaranteed chance to drop a Legendary."

After read and thinking matbe they want us to delete our character and start new. Imagine the only BiS item can only be had at PL 100 at MP10 and never kill Diablo.. Lol just thinking to kill MP 10 Diablo with my lady monk.. Maybe i keep the run later.. XD

This post has been edited by samuraislash: Mar 7 2013, 04:45 PM

Even monk would ptui on it. Y U NO BI-FACTA!

i almost fell off my chair when i saw the 240 dex ....
want like dat meh .. blizzy ...

Best news from 1.08 " one of the short-term changes we're making is adding an "Identify All" option, which should be coming in 1.0.8" FINALLY!

This post has been edited by Deckard Cain: Mar 7 2013, 07:41 PM

finally ... no need one by one ..

just wonder by this statement
"By design, Legendary items are going to drop far less often than Rare items, and we want that rarity to be reflected in their power"

does that mean it going to be harder to get legs in next patch.? so if it does should i grind legs now and keep it unid till 1.08? maybe i keep some just incase. XD

if rare drops will be reduced, and by design Legs should drop far less, the answer is "yes". less Legs in the future.

but this will not be implemented in 1.08.

item rolls are determined upon drop so even if u keep UNID items & identify them in 1.08 it wont change a thing i.e it wont get "1.08 roll"

I miss old time RO PVP ><"
if can do like RO pvp i will upgrade my eq

boring la the pvp....

personally speaking, the achievements in d3 is a joke.

Huhuhu.. Thanks for the info.. After googling just found out about it.

This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Jul 15 2017, 10:20 AM

Back to D2 i just love that 1 big mace 1 swing diablo die.. so no more in D3, can use everything to kill leah. So no more favorite weapon we can keep as personal item. Hope when less drop on rare AH ppl start to do crafting and farming. and the best part people start collecting white item to make it as rare item. just get back to square 1.

I think need better set bonuses also... seldom see ppl go full piece set... and also more useful new sets which give bonus to dps or ias.. also enhance existing set items like natayla bow for instance.... garbage bow...

i think most set legemdary wepon are crap.

samuraislash

Yeah, D2 had amazing weapons and gear. They could even make runewords in D3 like how they had it in D2. People will start farming runes like mad.

Zod Zod Zod Zod!

imagine enigma runeword with a +1 to teleport on DH. Vault teleport. =D

FUH! OP'd

Countess run? lolz those good ol days of D2 *sigh*

+1 !!!!!!

I miss those runs and i miss crafting runewords.

but now since crit dmg n crit chance rule, i don't know how runes are gonna be implemented

i miss the variety of runs that D2 offers compared to endless Act 3 grinding in D3
-countess run for runes
-meph run for shako
-pindle run for high lvl legs
-Baal minions for challenge .. Lister anybody?
-even Cow lvl offer some fun in a weird funny way (joining a game n killing the Cow King just for laughs lolz)

but they nerd pindle =(

Lister the Tormentor is one badass.

The new affixes in D3 is horrible. Affixes in D2 was way way better.

lol u guys still remember the D2 gameplay.. which i take 2 week 24/7 to end the game.

nice...Travis Day update on Selling UNiD in AH

Link: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/8197580919?page=4#69

hope it will be materialized

but from the post it stat that it will not be done

ya, i posted it before reading the whole thingy

it can be materialize IF there is a new legendaries.

how about they implement the elite group for fallen maniacs?
those were the only creature without elite packs...

as in they can explode multiple times depend on mp level?.. if mp5 then each explosion 1/5 of their life only... if mp10 then each explosion 1/10 of their life

mp1 explode once. normal dmg

mp5 explode 5 times , 5 x dmg.
mp 10 explode 10 times, 10 x dmg...

If I'm not mistaken, I saw fallen maniacs elite packs before, not in A3@Keep2.
I saw it in A2.

Yup. Encounter maniac elite before, wanted so much to kill all before they explode. If they exploded, no drop.

IIRC, they removed Fallen Maniac elite packs few updates ago. They used to spawn at Unknown Depth / Storm Halls

EDIT:
Yep, they got removed from the game 1.04

I hate that little pricks....especially hiding at doors

Lol. I just love ur little pics.. Especially when she hiding behind my door... Muahahaha..

Read this a while ago...taken from a fan site discussion

interesting research on low level legends...if it ever turns out the way they think its gonna be

sell all your current BiS legend now!!

especially mempo with Crit!!!

dont count the chicken b4 the egg hatch lolz ... until a blue post confirms the scaling of affixes for low lvl legendary dropped in inferno i dont think its wise to rush n sell all your BiS legendary
afaik .. the only blue post i read regarding this issue is they confirmed the base dmg & base armor will scale with ilvl .. nothing mentioned about affixes scaling with ilvl so far

to me cheap!

hope it will break the current trend of all class wearing the same BiS gears, more diversity in gear choices, also the chance of market being active again like when 1.04 launched.

p/s: well, gold price is suddenly increasing, any idea why? players buying cheap now to save for future spending ? or the gold sink is slowly taking effect ?

Just incase for those who miss it :


"Ask the Devs" Itemization Answers Part 1
Blizzard Tracker: March 20, 2013

The developers participating in this Q&A round include:


Wyatt Cheng, Senior Technical Game Designer
Travis Day, Game Designer
Don Vu, Associate Game Designer

We're doing things a little differently this time around and will be providing developer answers in several parts spread over multiple weeks. Below are the answers for part 1.



Q. Will all legendaries found on Inferno roll level 63 base stat values (armor and dps values) and level 63 "non-base" (affixes) stat values?

- Zoth#2543 (Americas [English]), Koric#1513 (Americas [English]),Hardhat#2565 (Europe [German]), sergeix #2204 (Europe [Spanish])


Travis: Yes, our plan is to handle Legendary items in a similar fashion to how we handle Rare items. Legendary items will roll at a level equal to the creature that dropped it. This means that, in addition to a Legendary’s stats rolling at the monster level, the base item stats will also roll at the monster's level. Right now, Rares don't work this way. Instead, their affixes roll at the level of the monster, but their base armor and weapon damage remain unchanged.


Q. "Love Leoric's Signet, but hate wearing a level 17 ring? Me too. Instead of farming Act II Normal to find a Leoric's Signet, let's go farm Inferno and get a level 63 version of the ring!"

Does this mean that every set and legendary item will have a chance of dropping in Inferno?

- Rowechelon#1918 (Americas [English])


Travis: Yes, Legendary and Set items will be valid drops from monsters at whatever point in the level range they are first introduced.

I have seen some people speculate over whether or not this means the experience bonus on Leoric's Signet will increase, and the answer to that specific question is "yes," but how each bonus on a Legendary or Set items scales will ultimately depend on the bonus itself. Some bonuses (such as the +EXP bonus on Leoric’s Signet) scale equally well from level 1 to level 60. On the other hand, some bonuses like procs that generate pets, or procs that deal damage effects, don’t always scale well as you get to the higher levels, but those will be changed wherever possible to scale with the level that they drop at.

Ultimately, we want to make sure the things that make Legendary and set items interesting continue to make them interesting at the end game, and in some cases they already do, so we just need to fix the other stats on the item.


Q. Will there any way for the players to have some control over the item stats. Such as implementing the mystic?

- Malkieri#1456 (Americas [English]), oraulo#2320 (Europe [German]),Goudru #1130 (Europe [French]), Djinn #2133 (Europe [French]), Blaine #2750 (Europe [Italian])


Don: Giving players more control and customization of their item stats is something we talk about a lot in our office. There have been a lot of ideas thrown around here and some great suggestions from the community, but we have not finalized any systems yet.

To give you an idea of what direction we're heading toward, though, here are just a few ideas that we're considering right now:

The ability to change a portion of a particular stat on an item to another stat of your choice
The ability to augment an existing item with a stat bonus of your choice
The ability to create an item with one or several fixed affixes—similar to the Rare recipes introduced in 1.0.7
We've also discussed adding other types of "socketables" with a wide variety of possible affixes that you can put in your socketed items instead of gems


All of these systems have their positives and negatives, so we want to make sure we make the right choice and consider all other changes we plan on making before deciding which systems we want to implement.

As far as the Mystic goes, she's a cunning lady. I’m sure we haven't seen the last of her.


Q. Where is my add socket?

- TwoCoins#1776 (enUS), Graupel#2865 (Europe [English])


Wyatt: When the game was in development, we the Blacksmith had the ability to add a socket to an item. Adding a socket makes the item better, so you pretty much always wanted to do it, and we found adding the socket felt like a small chore that didn’t actually increase the gameplay depth. You already need to insert gems to a socketed item, and felt having to add a socket as well would be a step too many.

With that in mind, there are still some gameplay benefits to adding a socket that we’d still like to capture. Although having to add a socket every time can feel like a chore, if there was a mechanic that made it a legitimate decision, that is something we could explore. Additionally, there’s something to be said for feeling more invested in an item—taking steps to improve an item increases your emotional bond with it, which is something we could definitely do better at.

So, to answer your question, it’s something that’s definitely on the table for the future, but it likely won’t be identical to the system that was in Diablo II or the early iterations of Diablo III.


Q. Will there be new craft-able items added in the future? I'm thinking weapons and/or legendary items...

- Cee#2572 (Europe [English]), Kiwi #2165 (Europe [Polish])


Wyatt: It’s hard to say for sure, but I don’t see any reason why not. As we revisit items in general, we’ll be looking at how crafting fits into the big picture, and it’s certainly possible that we’ll add more recipes at that time.


Q. So you have a plan to reduce the number of dropping items but increasing their quality. This will result in a smaller amount of items that can be salvaged into crafting materials for the Blaksmith, With this in mind – do you plan balance the amount of crafting materials gained from salvaging against the material requirements of blacksmith’s formulas?

- Agetriu #2991(Europe [Polish])


Don: Yes, we plan to take all of our future changes into consideration when balancing the amount of reagents needed for crafting recipes. We haven't decided on a number to reduce the number of drops by yet, so we can't go into specifics on how or if existing and future crafting recipes are going to change.

To be continued in part 2. . .

tahu pun this blizzard team...

what are they doing sometimes, man....

Wow! This is something!

"Travis: Yes, our plan is to handle Legendary items in a similar fashion to how we handle Rare items. Legendary items will roll at a level equal to the creature that dropped it. This means that, in addition to a Legendary’s stats rolling at the monster level, the base item stats will also roll at the monster's level. Right now, Rares don't work this way. Instead, their affixes roll at the level of the monster, but their base armor and weapon damage remain unchanged."

Suddenly, a lot of item seem viable for high level! Seem a lot of work!

ps: for those with a lot of gold, but still cannot buy a mempo with 6cc... Andariel's Visage will be just as good!

aiyo.. how they going to do the socketing if not identical as D2.. huhuhu

the way i read it, it's like saying no in a polite way

what u may get is to add "emerald" to gear to increase the dex...
