Diablo 3 - General Discussion I - Page 125

Have they mentioned anything about doing a re-spec? One of the things that killed me about D2 was if you accidentally put a point in the wrong spot you could potentially lose weeks worth of work on a character.

Sharmai · 04-04-2009, 02:28 AM

I don't know if re-specs are needed but a click to confirm button wouldn't be bad after you have decided on where to put your points

Occido · 04-04-2009, 04:53 AM

Some reason I remember being able to respec in D2. Maybe that was the mod I got for it... I can't remember now, it's been a long time.

I was under the impression that they had never actually taken pots out of the game, just added the orb drops to make players less reliant on the pot spam.

Ah, you may be correct. Oh well, first sign of pots I think!

Arbiter · 04-04-2009, 11:32 AM

I never really seen it mentioned, and maybe i didn't look hard enough, but is the game still a solo play game and you can choose to join battlenet if you desire?

kegkilla · 04-04-2009, 02:31 PM

haven't checked in on this for a while... has there been any announcement as to what the plans for open / closed/ paid battle.net will be like?

also, any hints at a release date yet?

Krag · 04-04-2009, 02:34 PM

No and no. Unfortunately.

Dynalisia · 04-05-2009, 07:12 AM

Wow, that interface looks like a Diablo series ripoff, not like the latest and greatest installation of it.

I didn't care about the wow-graphics issue much, but this is a disappointment.

Elerion · 04-05-2009, 11:34 AM

...what?

Aside from them using pictures for skills instead of the old etchings and some crimson backgrounds instead of grey on grey, the D3 UI has the exact same art direction as the D2 UI. There are some key functionality changes. How does that not look exactly like "the latest and greatest installation" of Diablo?

Hathe · 04-05-2009, 12:01 PM

I think he's referring to the most bottom part of the UI, not the skill / character windows. Which I agree, looks like nothing special. I don't really care, I'm buying the game regardless! And so will a lot of you that think "the orbs were used in the last game wtf ripoff!".

Sharmai · 04-05-2009, 01:02 PM

Hell they could probably take D2:LOD update the graphics and repackage it and we would buy it again..

Azrayne · 04-05-2009, 05:22 PM

I like the orbs, they're traditional, much better than bars.

Occido · 04-05-2009, 05:54 PM

I like the orbs, they're a Diablo feature, I'm glad they kept them.

However, they need to release this quickly. I'm tired of reinstalling Titan's Quest for my "Diablo style" game fix.

While on the subject... Those of you that still play on B.net..

Is it still full of hackers and cheaters? or have they remedied that issue?

I haven't been on B.net since D2 was released. First time I saw a level 99 Barb come into my game and TK me in town... I got off and never been back on B.net since.

Rica86 · 04-05-2009, 06:36 PM

B.Net was the reason I stopped playing D2.

I farmed for fucking ever to get some worthwhile stuff to trade for a windforce for my zon. Finally got one, even got it as an un-ided as that was like your semi-safe route to duping. And alas, next game I enter, was deleted due to being a dupe. GG, never touched the game again. I really hope they can somehow cut out that duping bullshit with this one.
