Thread: LOTS of New D3 Info!

Hey guys! Lots of new stuff is being released about the game and there's some good articles yall should read in addition to screenshots to look at.

Here's an article listing changes with a brief overview of each.

Diablo: IncGamers » UnicorNDA Day Dawns: New Info!

Two of the things I'm most worried about is the RMT (real money trading) system they are implementing and reducing skills to an on/off function instead of skill-point-scaling. The RMT will be a second option in the auction house for people who want to sell goods for real money. It has the potential to be abused if the posting fees are low enough (nobody selling stuff on normal AH) however I believe Blizzard will figure it out and my hope is that this will end up being the death of third party websites selling loot.

The only gripe I have with the skill change is having 60 points available at max level and having every skill unlocked...this would make for very boring gameplay with almost every possible buff and skill available for use. We'll have to wait to see what they do with this and how many skills there are per class.

7 minute beta build video. Shows a bunch of skills used in various areas with all classes.



Here's a screenshot of the new interface (similar to Starcraft 2's home screen)...I think it looks friggin sweet.



Lastly here's a good article on Joystiq about the latest changes to the AH. Well worth the read:

Anybody have new info that I missed? It seems like Blizzard is winding down the crap that bogged down D2 however it almost seems too simplified. I have to keep reminding myself that they are also adding features such as the rune system to add depth.
