YAY!

Unread post by Ashenfury »

I just got a D3 beta invite. I checked my BNET to make sure it wasn't some Nigerian decked in gold teeth sitting on top of a pile of AK47s using a laptop with satellite internet in the middle of an abandoned school surrounded by drugged militants.

Nope it wasn't a Nigerian!

The Beta forums have a post that the NDA has been lifted (a time ago). I enjoyed the quick but tasty session. The major complaints seemed like nothing after playing. The stat system seems fine but it will take a little learning. The skill system was fun but limited at low level. There are further planned changes for the Artisan and the Hirelings but the current system looks good.

There was only 1 thing I wasn't too keen about and that's how your hero auto-drinks potions that he picks up when he's hurt. That's bullshit.

Right, and what Diablo game have you ever played that drank your potions automatically?! That's bullshit.

Also if anyone is interested in my Blizz feedback:

Are you talking about the red orbs that drop when you kill monsters? Those aren't health potions - they are health orbs. Two different things.

Health potions are drops, and picking them up (regardless of your health) shouldn't be automatically used. At least, I tested it and it was added to my inventory despite having health gone.

Health globes are amazing in nasty fights. Except when you're a moron and walk over them at the beginning of a big fight when you're full health.

Not that I've ever done that. >_>

The *only* problem I foresee with them is that you can get an enhancement that extends your auto-pickup range. But that could possibly be strictly for gold... I'm not certain.

It's just for stuff you pick up - not for health globes.

Though, there are magical enchants and abilities that give you increased health or other bonuses. I found the 30 arcane power for the wizard to be great. Pew pew, more disintegration ray!

I love the witch doctor. I start playing some of the other classes and it's like, "meh" back to fun stuff!
