    See, now that's just stupid. You can interperet that to mean "stats are transparent in that you dont see them or the effect they have." without a big stretch.

    So it's easy to see why someone can get confused, its not so much he's behaving like an idiot as it is you are not being very clear. That's all.

    Transparent pretty much means what we're saying in other cases too, though. :|

    As in "transparent government", the government discloses what it is doing to the public.

    Never called anyone an idiot, though.

    No, but I did call you dumb and casual eddy called me an idiot, so our childishness is balanced and even and we can move on!

    Was talking more to eddy, but its not like it even matters.

    I am apparently wrong in that it is impossible to interperet anything in a way that does not mesh with TheStig's boundless intellect.

    You could interpret it that way, but as per the definition of the word you'd still be wrong.

    I think we covered that quite nicely.

    So, about diablo 3. Have they said anything about having custom map/dungeons at all?

    Yeah. Transparent doesn't mean invisible. Ever. In this context, it basically means the opposite.

    Since you dicks won't shut up, I'll defend myself so we can put this to rest.
    I felt like WoW had a lot more transparency of stats than diablo 2 did. There was no listing of dodge rating, critical strikes, mana regeneration, and so forth. I know a lot of stuff like hit cap had to be figured out by the players, but it was nice to know how much you needed.

    Here he goes from WoW being the subject of the first sentence, to D2 being the subject of the next sentence (without stating the fact that it is, thus the confusion), back to WoW being the subject in the next sentence. Saying that he felt like WoW's stats were more readily seen than Diablo 2's is like saying "I feel like Diablo 1 is more slower paced than Diablo 2." It is something really blatant and therefore I felt like he was using the meaning of transparent that is synonymous with diaphanous and here we are in this really stupid mess.


    Wooooooo Barbarians hitting demons and killing people. Not being dark enough, World of Warcraft, light radii.

    You know, I like the way D3 looks, but that picture of D2 that they're using doesn't help their argument. They're trying to be witty/sarcastic saying it's dark and gritty when the pic is bright colors, but it's only like that because the characters' skills are making the neon greens and blues and the poison nova. That's not the environment.

    It just shows there's retarded people on both sides of that argument.

    Though it had many good moments, I couldn't help but laugh out loud at:

    WHERE DID THE NECROMANCER GO??? I'm not buying this game. Even if all of the unannounced classes are Necromancers, it's too late. Blizzard has abandoned its true fans.

    Such is life.

    I always though the batman cartoon was "dark and gritty" I think that's the point they were making.

    The cartoon they showed was a dark and gritty one while the pic of d2 looked like a rainbow, as it does many times during a play through of the game.

    I want runeworks back. Except this time, they should just have their powers based on their type, and you can name the runes anything you want. So I could socket a 6 socketed 2 handed maul with "I WILL FUCK YOUR SHIT UP".

    But they probably wont let you use bad language though, but oh the glory that would be had

    I really hope there's some fighting against heaven going on in this game. I'm also going with the prediction that Sanctuary will be so Hell-infested that Heaven decides to exterminate it as a last resort, so Tyrael defects and the humans pretty much just go "fuck the both of you, we'll do this on our own." Angels are just too boring as good guys.
