14 New screens from Gamescon (incgamers)

I love diablo.incgamers.com, they're always the first to post relevant new information. Hit up there site to see 14 new pics from Gamescon.

To each their own. Personally I'd rather have videos or facts at this point, but screenshots are nice to have while waiting for the next relevant milestone.|||I can't say I like diablo.incgamers.com (painfully slow site to load) but those screen shots are very good. If D3 looks that good or better I'll be very happy when I play the game.|||

thanks for this, incgamers is always slow as sh1t, even before all this traffic.|||So much for "Significant" graphical changes.|||

They're located in the UK, but they've been getting pounded recently by traffic. Even though they just updated their servers. They're also still migrating to a new system and are having issues.
Better now than when the beta starts.|||I still hate that wizard twister skill, despite how cool it may look. As far as I'm concerned, any spell which is unpredictable will be obsoleted by more precise skills such as lightning. Of all the skills they brought back I'm surprised they chose this one. It was lame on the druid and will no doubt be lame on the wizard as well.|||

Twister was/is incredibly lame. No amount of graphical upgrades (which this one certainly got) is going to change that. On the random nature of the skill: it's one of the reasons nobody used charged bolt unless in melee range in early Diablo days. You should be able to predict how it is going to work, what it will and won't hit, how it will precisely help you to control the map.
In my ever-so-humble opinion.|||The site usually isn't slow, always loads instantly for me. They just get too much traffic when someone posts a link from here.|||

Nah there's something borked on the site. It's always been painfully slow to me, probably due to the ads. When it has been up and running lately, though, it's been super fast.
When you get the "502 gateway" error, it means that there's something wrong on their end.|||Hey,
We have finally resolved the issue with the server speed now both for the Diablo: IncGamers and diablowiki.net. It's been really frustrating and it's taken a lot of tech work to balance the new equipment. Should all be good now but if you run into any probs please let me know. (fingers crossed there aren't none)
Cheers
Elly|||

Haunt looks pretty.
The ingame lighting looks better.
Blizzard looks *sexy*.
Some nicer spell effects.
-
Still no dynamic lighting from spells? Imagine haunt or spike trap with vivid green/deep red lighting...
I hope we can disable the thick red target lighting. Leoric looks like someone nailed him with silly string.
Some of the models still look very jaggy.

How are tiers spaced out.

Hey was just wondering how tiers are going to be spaced out in the game. Also do tiers take into account Vendor Trash/Normal/Green/Blue/Rare/Legendary? Trying to figure how tiers appearances are spaced out or at least how they are planned to be spaced out.|||So maybe my question wasn't the clearest in the world. So if all the different rarity of armor sets are tiers then how many are actually legendary would be one thought. Would there be one Legendary set per difficulty?
Or are tier sets counted more in the way we did it in good 'ole WoW where anything below purple is just something more substandard?
After asking this I guess one more thought would be worth mentioning. That would be how many tiers are there going to be in Inferno?
If they're all the same level would they be more related to an aesthetic or build difference? Say for instance that you have 4 tiers of gear in Inferno all legendary and each one has a theme to one of the acts, and that say for act 1 tier theme set is good for a battle mage spec where act 4 would be for a glass cannon spec.

What i'm see in Jay Wilson's eyes

Please don't redefine Hardcore

Hardcore means that your character has exactly one life. Period. If you can't handle this, then you shouldn't be playing Hardcore. Stop trying to get Blizzard to make exceptions and/or change the rules so you can PvP with your Hardcore characters. IF YOU CAN"T HANDLE PERMANENT DEATH VIA DUELING, THEN EITHER PLAY SOFTCORE OR DON'T DUEL.
Even if high level Hardcore PvP is non-existent, this is how it needs to be. You can PvP to your heart's content in Softcore.
Have a nice day.|||I one hundred percent agree. this doesn't need to be a "baby the player" game like some others (which i wont name.)|||Taking out PvP from hardcore is a form of babying the player. Basically, if a player says "I want to duel with my HC character and risk losing him", and Blizzard doesn't allow HC pvp, they're basically saying "you don't know what you want, so we're going to save your character from yourself."|||waaaaa!! I don't want to think about the results of my demands, I just want to blindly make them without any thought!!|||

Im not a PVP'er... but i totally agree -- you want to pvp in hardcore---its a blood match--- end of story
had to edit this a lil---
there is one thing they could add to the game --
Blood Matches on SC -- you enter it with even a SC character--- its perm.... but they wont allow for that due to the RMAH. :)|||In my opinion, Hardcore means you have one life. Period, end of story.|||

Wow so you are saying:
Hardcore = Hardcore cause it's hard and core.
Geeee I never would have guessed that perma death is what hardcore is about.
Seriously I seriously don't know why you posted this. Unless you think we're all idiots and need the really obvious explained to us.
Word of advice. We get it. We're not idiots.
Thanks,|||100 percent agree with original poster.
HC = ONE LIFE. Seeya|||Hardcore would be deletion of your battle.net account when your character dies. Also, if your character dies in a duel..the winner should be given the rights to your entire battle.net account.
Just having your character die sounds pretty softcore to me.|||Ugh. Another one of these threads? Sheesh. Get over yourself.
I'd support Blizzard toying with the idea of making HC deaths (or at least some instances thereof) cause some sort of conversion to SC, if for no other reason than to encourage a larger HC PvP community.
Niche elitist D2 HC Enigma-wearing Infinity-merc Hammerdins who have Save&Exit chickening refined to an art will never convince me that their sharts smell like roses because they are better than everyone else.
Just delete your former HC character (now converted to SC due to arena death or something) if you don't like it. It does not punish you to give less extreme players an alternative.|||Yep, thats hardcore, one life, no matter if you pve or pvp.|||

I don't get it, you say that you are pro hc dueling, then you say you are against.
HARDCORE is about Death including form of PVP. Have you ever played d2 hardcore? Anyone who played hardcore in d2 knows that the only true RUSH of adrenaline people get was not from fighting monsters, it was when someone hostiled you and you heard that horrible sound with the logo. That was the rush for me. the REAL danger.. not some wheeny butt fairy monsters.
if you are scared of a little 1v1 duel and don't think you're good enough to survive, then go to the softies.
Hardcore is about NO RULES and the lack of PK/PKK has made it a wuss mode imo.
But i'd settle to be able to do 1v1 to the death with other players who have balls. it's okay if you're not one of them.|||
Q u o t e:

lol, internet tough guy
I'll laugh when you QQ the first time

what does this have anything to do with being tough. it's a game. I'm just saying that the whole thrill of hardcore was the risk of dying. And to be honest, in d2 hc, i've never died due to monster because it was too easy to stay alive. I died once cause i lagged out, and the rest was do to duel or pk etc. And I didn't hate it, it was part of the game.|||

I think you misunderstood me.
I fully support HC dueling. What I'm against is HC PvP where someone loses but does not die permanently. My point was that if you support a feature that allows Hardcore characters to duel without the penalty of permanent death, you belong in softcore.
I also fully support the D2 hostility system, which was abusable because of the way it was structured, There's absolutely no way a similar hostility system will be in D3, and that makes me sad because something simple like a 10 second delay would make it so people had plenty of time to prevent being griefed.
And since you asked- I've been playing HC exclusively since July 2000. I've also engaged in plenty of consensual level 70+ HC duels, but this was long before bnet was flooded with hacks/trigs/chicken/etc.|||
Q u o t e:

You're talking about having balls when it comes to a game, that's how

i was mimicking the original post which says "if you can't handle this... then go"|||And they (Jay) have said they've looking for a way for the HC pvps to have permanent death.
Stop raging... people don't even know the game they are raging about.|||IMO hardcore isn't hardcore enough. Loser's account is banned. Problem solved.|||

What I find funny about hardcore is it actually makes you play the game like a %!#@@. So to say you have bigger balls than those that don't play hardcore mode is childish.
You are extra careful, take tons of precautions and are worried about what lurks behind every corner.
Think about it. When you think hardcore, you think of someone slaughtering tons of demons with reckless abandon covered in blood, not someone carefully moving about being extra careful and tiptoeing about as not to get hurt.
Just my thoughts as a non-hardcore player. I see no point in gearing up a hardcore character as all my work will be lost when I die, and I'll surely die, unless I don't PvP and don't take any risks in PvE against Inferno quality demons, at which point one begs to question what's the damned point of being hardcore if you don't really play hardcore. How are you going to get to max level unless you play like a %!#@@ all cautiously....

Happy Skill Topic (Possibly Trolling)

I'm looking very forward to the new skill system, its going to make end game so much more fun. If the game is too easy, make some ridiculous theme build and go at it. I was all about Barb until they announced the skill system switch now I'm all about Monk and Wizard. They seem like they will be the most dynamic and most beneficial from this new system. This is all speculation coming out of my bum of course.

Random quests... how many?

We know in D1 were around 12 random quests, how many random quests will contain the quest pool in D3?
And how many of them will be present in beta?
And there will be some special random quests reserved for Inferno difficuly?|||We don't want the exact number, Bashiok. :)

New Skill System and switching skills

Q u o t e:

I know that and thats how I will play, but just having the option to swap cheapens that game for me

and this is why it won't be changed.
No real gameplay reason to change it.|||

so gay :'(
|||I think you should only be able to swap out skills in town, at least give us a bit of a detour to changing it up. Not make is so quick, cause you know there will be macros/mods to change stuff instantly.
Also some one said they removed immunities? So i take it they will be buffed with speed/str/dodge etc instead of elemental immunities? Makes sense but it was always fun to see a monster immune to somthing crazy, although in my last game (in d2, im a skelemancer) i ran into a council during a baal run where one was physical immune so i had to stop lol.
