The system requirements are very similar to those of Starcraft 2, as this is also known on the Havoc 4 Physic engine. Example settings and experiences you can enjoy post in the comments.
Bear in mind that it applies to the Beta and Blizzard will probably still have the option to turn on the screw detail. Whether it will remain so in the final 100% then, to suppose, however, though by no means certain.

Diablo 3 Beta Update 10 on Monday

by on Jan.21, 2012, under Diablo 3 News

Diablo 3 lead designer Jay Wilson spoke to the recent changes in the Diablo 3 beta.

Here are the most important information at a glance:

  • Scroll of identification - the familiar scroll from Diablo 2 was removed in the latest patch. Now you can easily identify items with a right click and save himself some space in your inventory. In order to increase the tension a bit, it will take a moment to show the stats of the item.
  • Potions have its own button. For this purpose, the 5th Place in the action bar and moved slightly modified. The massive use of potions (like in Diablo 2) is suppressed, so that one gets on well with the players as a field.
  • The mystic was temporarily removed from the beta and probably in later after release.
  • Also, the boiler of Jordan and the Nephalemwürfel been removed - but probably permanently, in order to allow the player to his deserved break in the city. So the gameplay is indeed slowed down a bit, but this is my opinion, good for the longer game play.
  • Normal items (white) with the latest patch can not be recycled, to give us the opportunity to continue to leave huge piles of items on the floor. In Diablo 2, these items were even good and often expensive (eg ethereal normal item in order to improve it by prescription in the base defense), but 99.9% of the articles could easily be described as rubbish
  • New attributes and effects
    • Strength: Increases the damage of the barbarians and the armor of all classes
    • Dexterity: Increases damage done by hunters, demons and monks. Also provides a better alternative opportunities for all classes.
    • Intelligence: Increases the damage of the sorcerer and witch doctor Improved, also the effect of healing Globes.
    • Vitality: Increases the life of all classes
  • These attributes are omitted, the precision, defense and attack - or replace it. Blizzard specifically solves the problems that players never knew exactly how the damage in Diablo was reduced from what source. With the new name "Physical Resistance" is Blizzard to realize what makes this value and "Crit" is a term every role player. This is partly so in Diablo II, in part, on objects even death blow.

How do you like the changes? Overall it seems well underway in the Diablo 3 beta to go so that we can look forward to an early release. Who does not have a Diablo 3 beta key should apply in his Battle.net account for it - but it makes on a home PC, because Blizzard checks your hardware to keys may be only to users, where Diablo 3 runs really well.

Jay Wilson added yet, the patch will be released only on Monday, as there were some issues that needed to be resolved to /.

Quick update for everyone! We've discovered a few issues with beta patch log 10 Which could affect player. Instead of releasing the patch as-is and addressing those issues later, we felt it Necessary to take some time to resolve them now. As a result, the soonest we'll be able to release Beta Patch 10 is next Monday, January 23rd

Diablo 3 Auction House - Real Money Trade & Economy

by on Dec.08, 2011, under Diablo 3 News , Diablo universe

One could almost believe that Blizzard had taken from the d2jsp success of his conclusions and incorporate them in Diablo 3, because that is just under a week in the beta integrated auction house come with a real money account, therefore.

A positive factor is that of eBay trading and shop-spam that would come to an end and the users are also better protected from fraud. The Auction House (in the style of World of Warcraft) allows safe and comfortable while exchanging goods without any risk.

A slightly negative connotation remains, however, because real money is often destroyed the economy of a game. Since Diablo differs not from the real economy, where the gas pressure of fresh money in general, the prices can be.

Just how to get his money now in Diablo 3?

From Diablo 2 you can learn, that have permanently coveted consumer goods, in contrast to the virtual currency "FG" proved to be relatively stable in value. Note, for example, prices for Craft sets such as (RAL, PA, CRAPJEWEL).

Whether this in Diablo 3 will be possible depends, of course, of the upcoming patches and expansion (s) from which retain all consumer goods either, or may detract.

Last but not least is obtained by means of the already announced 2008 char / account bound items or (BoE) is a measure of stability, which did not exist in Diablo II.

My conclusion: Clean rebalanced an overall good move.

What do you think of the auction house?

Diablo 3 - New color table of the items

by on May.15, 2011, under Diablo 3 News , World of Warcraft

Blizzard surprised some places, with the colors of the objects in old versions of Diablo III.

Now it seems the design team to have reached agreement on a roughly D2-like system.

  • Unique items (now legendary): orange
  • Rare Items: yellow
  • Magic Items: Blue
  • Rune: purple
  • Quest Items: Green

Orange is the color may be an allusion to the Legendary items in World of Warcraft, and thus an indication of the greater rarity of "uniques"? Desirable, of course, would be a low drop rate, to increase the diversity of equipment, but were rare items and Crafts in Diablo 2 so far the best way to achieve this.
