Der har i det seneste døgn været en del "blå" aktivitet, hvilket der er kommet nogle ret spændende post ud af. Jeg har samlet nogle af dem her for at høre hvad i synes om disse ændringer og tanker.

Stor annoncering snarligst:

Følgende spørgsmål er blevet stillet; on a scale of 1 to 10, (1=not even close, 10=imminent,) how close are we to that all important #D3 announcement?

Jay svarer følgende:

MF, GF og +XP bliver delt imellem gruppen:

Og så er der kommet nyt vedrørende MF, GF og +XP. Det er nu sådan at det nu bliver delt som et gennemsnit gruppen imellem. Herved undgår man såkaldte "leachers".

"Currently, Magic Find, Gold Find, and +XP bonuses are averaged across the entire group.

Our developers have decided that bonuses + Magic Find, Gold Find + and + XP but will work differently for groups of players. These bonuses will be equal for each character in the group and subsidiaries sum bonuses for all players.

The group consists of four players. In total, their stats are 50% MF, +20% GF and 10% XP, each of these players will have a 12.5% ​​MF, 5% and 2.5% GF XP being in such a group.

Playing with a companion, available for rent, as at present receive 20% bonus to the statistics of type 'adventure' with a bonus companion visible on the panel."

Follower MF, GF go +XP:
Det ser ud til at man kun får 20% af ens followers +MF, GF og XP.

The amount displayed is your share of the bonus. You get 20% of your follower’s Magic Find, Gold Find, and + to XP."

Forskellige builds:

Der har også været en del snak omkring hvor forskellige builds vil være, og om hvad de har gjort for at øge mængden af viable builds.

As long as there are interesting and unique choices, there will be 1 answer that people could agree is the statistical "best" choice. That's a reality we all have to agree upon, because that's the reality of a game that's based on math and numbers. There will be some "right" answer.

The goal is not to ensure there isn't a right answer, that's likely an improbably achieved goal. The goal is to ensure there is a large number of viable alternatives. Sure there may be a best that's .01% stronger, but is the second best close enough that if someone prefers playing that they won't feel like they're playing wrong? It's that gap and that idea of viability that's more important.

If you want to compare that to assignable stats in Diablo II, there was one or two ways to correctly assign stats and there were really no viable alternatives. Any choice but those one or two right ways to spend stats and you were far, far below viable in comparison.

This is where you can argue that we could balance assignable stats so that they are balanced and viable! And I say ... we have! Assignable stats are now so much more awesome because they're based on itemization instead of as a requirement for it, and more importantly it's way cooler than clicking a little button.

Talking to Wyatt about this a little more and he brought up some good, additional points.

You will not be farming bosses. Bosses won't drop the best loot, they won't even drop really great loot. Part of Inferno and our intent with getting people out into the world and hunting and killing lots of different things is putting the best loot on rare and champion packs, and the great thing about rare and champion packs is they have random affixes. They're like a box of chocolates. Murderous, snarling, blood-soaked chocolates. You're not going up against a boss where you know "Build A" is the best way to minmax against it because it has abilities and resistances X, Y, and Z. What is the best build vs. an "Arcane Enchanted, Teleporter, Frozen, Knockback" skeleton pack? Got that figured out? Cause it's not going to be the best against the next pack you come across, and you're going to want to kill that one just as much.

You might have a specialized build that is super strong against some of these things, and not against others. The focus is going to be on the balance between taking on all of these possibilities and surviving.

The one question mark for a lot of people, and maybe even us, is what stops someone from seeing a pack, backing out (or dying) and swapping out to be better equipped to handle it? We agree that's now how we want people to be playing, but know it's something we can solve pretty easily, even if it's making the swapping cooldown longer in later difficulties.

In any case, his point was that you could absolutely make the best build against one type of enemy, and that build could completely fail against another. It's not D2 where you pump all your points into one ability, we're going for some depth in our combat, but it's your choice of tools (and there are a lot of them) that will define your character versus another.

Hvad synes I om ændringerne og de tanker, Blizzard har gjort sig?

Det vil blive fedt med at få en release date snart på spillet såå vi alle kan komme til at spille

Drakshak - tror blizzard focusere mere på at spille med venner og bekendte ... Så må man aftale man gå en gruppe sammen med mf gear, levvel med venner i xp gear osv ...

Ser det som en langt bedre løsning end at hver spillet har sin egen MF (GF og +XP).

Før ville der være flere spil hvor en joinede kun med MF gear og derved sænkede hele gruppen (tænker her ift. public games). Dette ville så kræve at de andre 3 fandt et andet spil.

Den nuværende løsning giver, som du skriver, ophav til at personen med MF bliver sur, men så er det jo bare op til ham at forlade spillet eller ej. (1 sur frem for 3.)

I hvert fald sådan jeg ser på det.


Tror desuden også at det er udgivelsesdatoen de taler om, og regner personligt med at den kommer her ca. d. 8 marts, således at spillet udkommer d. 8 maj. (har bare en gut feeling mht. den dag, og det ville passe med 2 måneder og tirsdag). Dog ren spekulation..

Jeg håber Blizzard dropper en releasedate, så jeg kan gøre mig mine forberedelser til release f.eks. vide hvilken uge jeg skal tage fri fra arbejde.

Håber dit 9 tal holder stik.

Lyder sgu najs nok imo må jeg sige. Er glad for vi ikke skal farme bosser så meget mere, som i D2. Man blev sgu glad når man lige fandt zaka fra et random mob kan jeg huske. So it's all good and love from here, bare giv os release date snart!

Jeg er sgu ikke fan af det med at dele MF. Men det er vel nødvendigt grundet deres drop-system, hvor hver character ser forskellige drops.
