Glory and approbation to Diablo 3 Thread (evil is back 05.15.12)

Kwoaru

krunk is talking about how currently the monk puts away his weapons to punch things instead of using his weapons to hit shit with his skills

and since there is no auto attack anymore you would never see your monk use any of his weapons ever

but they are adding new animations

KrunkMcGrunk

Kwoaru gets it!

No Great Name

The answer is actually yes, because the monk is the only class that can use monk skills!!

Walt

they did a bit of that pre-release too with dashing strike and crippling wave and such, and I believe they are adding fist weapons back in to all of his animations post-release as well

Zen Vulgarity

The answer is actually sirtoons is a big poopy face

KrunkMcGrunk

dang, sir toons, you gonna take that!?

Wimble

toons will let his leet gear and pro cheevos speak for himself when the game is out

zen will be reduced to tears

They doing it with everyone to every class that could possibly use it?

The other classes already had weapon animations. However, in the monk's case, it would be running around with a staff or whatever, then whenever you threw a punch or kick or something, the weapon would flash back to it's holstered state then reappear in hand after the attack.

e: Whoops didn't see there was a second page full of explanations already

One thing I don't like is how it's your battletag that shows up under your character portrait in the top left, and maybe even on your banner?

And maybe even in the dialogue box?

I forget, either way it was too much battletag, not enough character name.

honestly I don't even know where the character names end and the battle tags begin

I don't even know what I'm looking at when its other people's characters

No Great Name

The only time I'm 100% sure it's the character name is when there's an interaction with an npc, or your character does an emote it'll show their name before the text in the dialogue box.

Remember when Lightning Fury looked like this:

Stop showing modded versions of the game.

Not grimdark enough. Thus, clearly not Diablo 2.

KrunkMcGrunk

In all my time playing diablo 2, i have never finished normal as a skele-mancer. Gotta rectify that.

this is beautiful

ps hardcore is for chumps

No Great Name

Nope hardcore is legit

Kwoaru

Hardcore is like

A food I don't enjoy but a lot of people do

Which is cool as long as they dont eat it near me because it smells terrible

Beasteh

hardcore is cool until you have been 60 for a while and have good gear then you lag out in the middle of a champion pack

No Great Name

It's sort of like when games had game overs.

Why.... why would you play a game where you can lose progress!!??!? - a literal baby

Kwoaru

game overs that result in an irreversible loss of hours of effort are not fun at all, and if you like them you are weird

and maybe dumb

Beasteh

i mean if you die because you fucked up or decided to charge into a boss pack or something then fair play take your lumps

but dying to circumstances beyond your control which can and will happen

no thank'ee

No Great Name

It's the journey not the destination - a wiser man than kwoaru

Kwoaru

Fuck that shit if my car blows up half way through the journey it doesn't matter how fun the last 3 hours have been

No Great Name

Dang bro you aren't going to be fun to hang around with when you realize death is inevitable.

Walt

not really that common of a thing. If you know you have connection issues you should fix them. And the lag works differently than d2. The like, 1 time I got lag in all my beta play time due to them stress testing one server after a large invite wave.

Gonna be a looooong week and a half.

And permanent death is more fun in games where you can make drastic changes to your character. In D3 there isn't any "oh I died. Guess I'll take this opportunity to try out some new crazy build". You die with a demon hunter, you roll the same damn demon hunter.
