introduction

hello everyone

im not currently active on diablo forums but i used the name "laundryBAG"



i've seen talk of this game for a while now and have to say i'm kicking myself in the ass for not coming to check it out sooner.

i've played a few games such as...
witcher
dungeon siege
dragonage
oblivion
skyrim
they could never measure up to diablo for me

i've been watching some gameplay on youtube and have to say i'm amazed

good job Grinding Gear,
i believe you are creating a game that will make my wife just as mad as diablo used to - LOL

haha welcome, and wow quite the reputation.
Alot of tiny details are great in this game, Sockets, vendor currency, skills, stat tree. How they are trying to work around issues diablo had(LagLoot) all make the game really really interesting :)

i have to agree that the "tiny details" are what makes a game but have to admit what hooked me was the way gear is acquired

i simply can't play a game when i know that the best item i will ever have can be bought at a shop or crafted as soon as i find/buy the raw materials

i played the shit out of skyrim for the first couple days i had it.
i started it up the other day then exited out before i even ran out of town. pretty graphics only gets you so far.

you mean how the items(are there any uniques in this game) are all random stats/gems?
It really promotes luck and hardwork, Uniqueness and playstyles. Sadly diablos best items were uniques, hopefully this game doesnt have (too) many.

yes, i meant random generation of items

i'm not sure i can 100% agree with that.
it depends on what patch version is being played but in general i guess your statement would be correct.
don't forget runewords though ;)

IIRC...
way back when i first started playing diablo
rare(yellow) were the top items

when i first started diablo "perfect skulls" were the currency

I remember entering a game, runnign for gem shrines, quitting.
Entering a game, running for gem shrines, quitting.
However I regard runewords and uniques the same, runewords are simply better.

I like how Diablo3 and PoE seem to be aiming for random stat generation.

gems shrines, yup, lol

i'm liking Leagues.. Cut-Throat is the place i think i'll be hangin out mostly


i'm confused about this though
---All characters in a league have access to the same shared stash pages.---

does that mean that when i go to town and put items in my stash that other players can take what i put in there

Im thinking it means all your characters in that league, Since that would make the default realm have 1'000 people shairing a stash. That they meant to mention you cant stack your cut-throat/hardcore chars form default.
