Diablo 3 at Gamescon: Crafting and Artisans

2010-08-22

Blizzard recently released a video that reveals new aspects of the highly anticipated Diablo sequel. Jay Wilson returns again with some interesting information regarding two important game aspects - Artisans and Crafting. The game departs from the traditional idea of MMOs and crafting by allowing the player to focus more on killing monsters than leveling up their crafting skills "banging on an anvil."

Check out what Jay Wilson has to say in their information short:

Skill resources

2010-08-06

There are slight modifications to the Barbarian's resource system, Fury:

The barbarians fury system (Last we have seen) works like this The barbarian has certain moves he can use Hitting with these moves generates fury to do better moves Some better moves take away fury balls Last we have seen, He has 3 fury balls, some skills use one some use two and so on.

Blizzard post Blizzard Poster Quote:

Kind of. No more fury balls. Any damage the barbarian does or takes generates fury. This fury builds up as his resource, to a cap. When not doing or taking damage there's a grace period, and then the fury will begin to recede. You build fury to use skills, as the majority of the barbarians skills require some amount of fury to use. There is a shout that generates fury itself, so it's not always necessary to be in combat for a while before you can start using skills.

There might also be a whole new system for the Wizard, that would replace the current Instability:

Instability on the wizard All we know is what Jay Wilson said she gets more "Blasty" as she gets more "vulnerable" They have said it will make more sense then mana did once we learn about it which is cool

This is no longer the case. More at BlizzCon.

A few interesting quotes from Blizzard's Twitter page:

Blizzard post Blizzard Poster Quote:

I bet you didn't think people could debate the proper plural of "staff" for more than 5 minutes.

We're focusing on customization through items as they can be seen better from how far away the camera is from the character..

Blizzard post Blizzard Poster Quote:

The Witchdoctor's thematic palette is proving to be very broad. He can wear a lot of cool armor and still look like a Witchdoctor.

A picture is worth a thousand words... but we don't have one unfortunatelly, let's wait and see. My guess is we'll see it at Blizzcon or maybe sooner if we're lucky.
