Rosewind Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Doesn't it have some kind of money trading system, with Bliz taking a cut? That's very bold (and smart) of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconofChaos Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Got my copy pre-ordered. Have no idea which character I'll go for. I usually go for the mage types, but monk looks interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Mint Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 hi hiI'm planning to wait and see if its any good and whether or not my friends are going to be playing it for more than just a passing week or two before I shell out the cash, but I have a feeling I'll probably end up buying it sooner or later. (back when Starcraft 2 came out, everyone was all "we're going to play this so much, come join us!" and that lasted maybe a couple of weeks.)

SirShadowdeath Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I have the original Diablo, and my friend that and two. When he gets the collectors edition, I plan on taking that Flash drive that comes with the previous version on it, and, and installing two on my computer.

Sunwind Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 All I hope, is that the servers are ready for the insane flood of players. Unlike the Diablo II crash so many years ago, it pretty much broke blizzard for quite a while. The real money auction house is quite brilliant of them honestly. I don't think players quite understand the real logic behind it though, but it will play a big part during the endgame hell-inferno mode stuff. I think players are going to find out fast that, while the regular gold auction house works for almost all of the game. When it turns to inferno endgame time, what they want will not be there for them to bid on anymore. It will most likely only be found on the real money auction house. *course they can sell the things they find too, so it kinda goes both ways*Yup blizzard plans to take a cut, and it's even run through paypal later, but no one really knows how much the cut will be. It can't really be very much, if it is people will again go to 3rd party sites *taking a big risk* just to avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosewind Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 The thing with the real money trading is that it encourages the formerly illicit activity, but this time giving safety and control to the players while making Blizzard rich. It also sets a (scary) new precedent for the future of games like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also sets a (scary) new precedent for the future of games like this.Well if a game is going to set a precedent it's definitely going to be Diablo 2 / Diablo 3.Blizzard most likely realized that to prevent all the spamming and the RMT that happened during Diablo 2 that they had to do something, so I'm guessing that something was to make it legal to do while taking a sum of the cash. Hopefully there will be less spammers this time. The chinese are still infesting Diablo 2 for Christ's sake..And as far as an influx of players is concerned, I think WoW has set precedent as far as launches are concerned, and over the years they've gotten control of their server structure. I don't think there are going to be stability issues for this one. But it is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there are going to be stability issues for this one. But it is possible. Oh I personally agree, I think the beta test realm is really used to get stuff up and firing, test max load capacity, and other things. I don't think it will crash, but I'm prepared to not be upset if it does.Real money stuff I think will be interesting. I mean the idea is to keep players wanting to play the game, and I think it will do that for quite a long time. But I really think it will only be effective at high level, *similar to stones of jordan, and the best in game ultra elite gear.* Those are what people would use the 3rd party sites to buy most of the time. Lots of little garbage items, eh maybe? Who knows people buy all sorts of silly stuff.I guess we will find out in less than a day I think... is it scheduled to release at midnight for those that did a digital download copy? I want most all of the game to be a surprise for me, so I haven't read the spoiler boards to know it's exact release time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkleheart Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 But seriously, I laughed so hard, whether it's true or not Someone found references to it while digging around in the beta's data files. There was quest text for a mission to rescue ponies as well as references to the bosses "Nightmarity" and "Midnight Sparkle." Apparently a *bunch* of people in the beta managed to find these.We should know for sure in a couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was literally the only non-spambot player logged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karnaloth Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I played it, its fun, no doubt but I find it lacking, being new to the diablo franchise, I just think it isn't really my type of game, or I'm just too hyped for GW2 to accept new games atm. luckely I didn't pay for it so (no I didn't pirate it, I got the pass for WoW ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosewind Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Oh my Celestia, that guinea pig herd! If Candlemare was still around she'd be going nuts over that!So...is the game fun? I don't see myself getting it or playing it, but I'm sure it's entertaining nonetheless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
