Jay Wilson Interview: Skills and Stats

Diii.net has posted the 4th section of their exclusive interview with Diablo 3 Lead Jay Wilson. In this portion of the interview Jay talks about skills, skill trees, character builds, and the new (and still secret) game mechanism to allow great character variety in attribute placement.

Xulfxulf5727d ago

Jay was forthcoming once again, with a lot of new details about how the skill trees will be arranged in the final game, and some encouraging words about the level of character customization their secret attribute tweaking item game will allow.

It's good you know how to encourage him to spill the proverbial beans :)

Cogo5727d ago

Without Diii.net, where would we be now? :)

Maticus5727d ago

Lots of great info here, thanks :D

moondragon5727d ago

Ah thats just great, more hype of this game and i am gonna die of exitment.

Leord5727d ago

It's a relief they really thought this through. D2 is great fun, but the amount of balancing after release was enormous.

Cogo5727d ago

Well, D2 became big because it was kind of one of few action rpg games at the time, but it really has major flaws, looking with today's game mechanic eyes.

The lack of respec is ofcourse one of the major ones.

DJDarkstar5727d ago

Awesome :D I am really liking how D3 is shaping up, it is going to be sweet :D

Dorjan5727d ago

I'm still holding back some excitement... I just have a sinking feeling about this...

Redrudy5726d ago

Why a sinking feeling? I feel quite hopeful so far that it's heading in the right direction. Concerned abut the skills in particular or in general?

Via Diablo’s global director of community Adam Fletcher, Blizzard is introducing new measures to improve the quality of season launches in the future. Across both Diablo 4 and the aging Diablo 3, fans of Blizzard’s games should all benefit.

If they didn't let the cellphone guy touch the 3rd one in first place, they wouldn't have to dance around like clowns trying to make money.

Xristo132d ago

We've been asking for less "boring" seasons... "boring"... not "buggy"... same ol' rehashed content just a different color is not working.

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.

thorstein502d ago

I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.

All those games had to release without bugs.

Comebacks shouldnt be a thing in videogames. Just saying.

Diablo III - Still a Huge Draw in the Face of Diablo IV

Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.

Palitera811d ago

Are you comparing a continuously improved 10+ years old masterpiece with the... beta of an unreleased game?

kevco33810d ago

Heh, yeah. There's no comparison in here! Its a commentary on how III is still very playable over a decade later.
