During BlizzCon, 'Flux' from Diii.net sat down with Diablo 3 Lead Designer Jay Wilson who was on hand to answer questions about the upcoming Action-RPG. Topics included waypoints, autoparty, anti-griefing, player teleports, item info for stats/drops/quality, rares & uniques info, difficulty modes and more. He also goes into some detail on why they decided to remove assignable attributes, and how important it is to avoid having "hot-spots" that gives the most efficient experience, and letting people play however or wherever they want. Another interesting topic that he delves deeper into is the new runes system, and how they improve spells.
Diablo 4 is going to be more visually appealing on PC, with ray tracing arriving on March 26.
The game is saved we have better lighting in a game that has a top down view hazahh
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.
All those games had to release without bugs.
A return of the classics Return to the mid-'90s, where two storied universes from Blizzard Entertainment began, as three legacy titles launch today on Battle.net for the first time! This year is the Warcraft universe’s 30th anniversary–the perfect time to revisit the first tales of Azeroth–and hot off the heels of the release.
Excellent interview, gotta love the last 3 questions
I love the t-shirt

Diablo III: Only slightly inferior to girls - I'm honestly waiting for Blizzard to use this slogan, it rocks.
The itemisation sounds slightly WoW-ish though, perhaps a concern.
Personally, I'm a bit negative towards the auto-assigned stats. They could just have it resettable, so people still can customize if they want to. Sure, majority of stat tweaking will be items, like wow, but there is no reason to disallow it, if it ISN'T a way to screw yourself over, as he say.
