  • Diablo 3

    Sentura I think you have to see it in action and not base it on bad images that are full of monsters and effects. Sure there is some consistency in terms of color and art. It has to fit the new Diablo style.
    But while playing Act 5 I never had the feeling It was something I had seen before.

    Quote from SpronyvanJohnson

    Act 5 is a piece of art! I don't know what gave you impression I didn't like it? Perhaps I should have phrased myself better. I just meant to say that I would never play Diablo 3's original campaign mode again. As far as I know you can't play Act 5 in campaign mode? But I'm loving it in Adventure mode. It's goddamn beautiful. Kinda like Darksides 2 and the Kingdom of the Dead.

    Euh I never said you didn't like it. I only quoted you on Act 5 as you said "What story? You can't play the new Act (campaign)" in order to find out if you saw Act 5 in Adventure Mode.

    But when I got home tonight and booted it up and there was the Campaign Act 5. It is friggin gorgeous though. (definately not finished yet as I can still see the borders of the world.)

    I can confirm what HP says. I just tried Act 5 in Campaign Mode and it looks GREAT! The style is consistent but looks nothing like Act 1. It does have a gloomier darker look which I really like.
    Unfortunately due to extreme rubber banding I couldn't play on.

  • Diablo 3

    Just finished playing for about 2 hours and I am definitely liking the changes thusfar. The loot is far more interesting as they mostly have stats that are relevant to my class.
    I copied over my Wizard that had a critical mass build and that the way I played before no longer works in the beta. This is actually very nice and gets me to experiement with my skills in order to survive.

    Enchanting and Transmogrification:

    Basically you select an item you want to enchant and select a stat you're not interested in and pay approx 30k gold to exchange it for another random stat.
    You get to choose between two options. This could potentially increase the amount of upgrades you can find. Downside is this stuff gets soulbound after doing so.
    After this it was time to dye and transmogrify my gear. Again very simple system where you place your item in the slot and pay (currently 500g) to get another look. You get to choose between a bunch of options. I managed to make my Wizard look pretty bad ass imho.

    Nephalem Rifts:

    Every now and then you get a Rift keystone from a slain enemy. These stones can unlock random instances where you have to defeat many enemies till the bar reaches 100% before the boss is accesible. Lots of loot and experience. They can take up a lot of time though.

    Stats and Paragon levels:

    You can now change some stat points in a few categories when clicking on the Paragon level button in the inventory. The way damage and armor is displayed has also changed.
    It is replaced with toughness. Also the damage on items has been changed to percentages instead of flat numbers. This makes looking at higher items a bit easier.
    (instead of a new weapon doing 3000 dps more it is now displayed as 1% increase over what you currently have).

    Im still scraping the surface here but overall impressions are good.

    Received an invite today and I can't wait to check out the new features! I am really excited about the customisation and transmogrification. How have you experienced it so far Sprony?

  • World of Warcraft : Warlords of Draenor

    Very valid points Taylor. I started during Wrath of the Lich King so I was spoiled from the get go.
    I do see the X-realm issues though when it comes to playing with people you will never encounter again.
    What I do like ( and this is more for players without a lot of time to spend raiding) is the Looking for raid stuff. It gives you a taste of the content you wouldn't be able to see if you are not playing in a guild. My gripe with this is that it is way too simple.


    Anyway lets get back on topic and share your thoughts on the upcoming expansion. Will it make you come back to WoW if you left? What changes in the upcoming expansion do you fancy and which you do not?

  • World of Warcraft : Warlords of Draenor

    Dark : Why does World of Warcraft need to move on? The story is interesting and the world is just so rich that i'm constantly coming back for more with every expansion. What should WoW 2.0 look like in your opinion (both in graphics and gameplay)?
    As for a new Warcraft RTS, that would be cool. I think that Blizz has their hands full with Starcraft though to make this happen.

    Skjalg : MoP was not bad but not great either so you did not miss a whole lot. The new expansion seems to be more interesting on many levels. Only problem is you need MoP in order to play WoD.
