Your *5* Wishes For Diablo 3.


Q u o t e:
@Evilenginen9
Nice troll.
I don't quite remember when irony has become an act of trolling, but okay.
Honestly, I want my bolts and arrows back. Isn't that hard to keep count on the remaining shots.|||

Q u o t e:
1. Cow Level / Rainbow Pony Level

There will almost certainly be something like this :).

Q u o t e:
2. LAN Multiplayer

Not going to happen. *ahem* officially.

Q u o t e:
3. Creepier atmosphere (Path of Exile is owning d3 so hard on this factor)

The Broll footage looked very very creepy, especially outdoors. I will wait and see though.

Q u o t e:
4. A reason to read/get into the lore

This is Blizzard. Lore is always good (although becoming a little dependant on the novels).

Q u o t e:
5. Random endless sidequests / easter eggs

Random endless easter eggs? You mean like...4chan?|||4chan can go @%%! itself.|||1. Class balance. Was terrible in Diablo 2 and never fixed. Balance in the utility of classes themselves and balance in different specs.
2. Adequate spam-prevention, bot-detection, and fraud-prevention measures. Bots are going to be huge in Diablo 3 and removing them is going to be one of Blizzard's biggest challenges. Multi-boxing 3-5 (depending on max party size in release version) caster bots filled with MF gear with one real character to get 10x drops is going to be another thing Blizzard has to address. Is hitting one key to cast frozen orb on 6 different characters on 6 different accounts going to be cheating?
3. A game-finding system that meets the needs of what I'm looking for. Goldfinding/itemfinding/questing/leveling/trading. Give me a way to get to where I want to be.
4. An economy that works.
5. Fun/replayability.|||1. A huge cross-character stash.
2. A way to make that stash even bigger.
3. The cross-character stash should be the only stash.
4. Really nice lighting effects.
5. Graphical modding capability (to make it look even better and use better textures etc)|||

unfortunately, you don't have much idea how bots work/worked in Diablo 2 and WoW even.
Bots will be nearly nonexistant in Diablo 3...they simply can not function.
D2Jsp...a bot created by god, a nearly perfect magical gift granted to the people for our endless enjoyment...was something that injected itself directly into d2's exe, which allowed extraction of nearly endless amounts of data. In d3, this is impossible, because all the data will be server side.
D2JSP was also extremely detectable in D2....doubt even if they found a way to extract data, that it would not be traceable.
Then there was the other type of bot that relied on changing graphics of models and map zones. This was only possible in D2 because of how the game was set up. Its rather easy to replace models of sprites with giant red and while blocks so that a computer knows what to click on.
Its also possible to create an algorithm that will run through durance of hate and analyze the map based on what you have explored.
This, im assuming, will be quite impossible in d3 based on how it is developed and how they have evolved the way they show and hide data. Firstly, you can change color of monsters on your side, no doubt, but they will still be affected by in game lighting. You might be able to disable lighting...but then you are making yourself more and more a target by Warden. I would also assume the random maps will be much more random and less block like than diablo 2. The map reveal and overlay will also be harder to hack.
In WoW, bots were controlled by long drawn out macros. They could do that because mining nodes were in specific places, not randomized. So they could create big routes for their bot to go, and use the same technique described above and changing models. Diablo 3 is going to be randomized, so it won't be that easy.|||

Q u o t e:
Bots will be nearly nonexistant in Diablo 3...at first.

*fixed|||

Q u o t e:

obviously you dont know what the **** youre talking about.

Just because you don't know how to do it, it doesn't mean it can not, or will not be done. Get over yourself.|||

sorry, youre right....i can't do magic and other supernatural feats.
while someone could certainly create a bot that runs through a macro, there is no way they will be able to create one efficient enough to warrant purchasing tons of d3 copies and running it. Thats what I meant when I said botting won't be a problem.
And yes...macroing is the ONLY way they will be able to bot in D3. and yes...the only efficient way to macro is to change in game models on your side, and rely on a fairly consistent map...either static or predictable.
No..i dont think it will be possible to do in D3.|||You heard it here first folks. Rickymm3 can't figure out how to make bots work in D3, therefore nobody will ever figure it out. Rickymm3 is just THAT good.
*rolleyes*|||

Q u o t e:

and youre an idiot, have always been an idiot, and always will be an idiot. thanks for the compliment though.

lol Can't refute my point, so you resort to petty insults. The sign of a truly ignorant person. At least I admit the fact that just because I can't think of a way to do it, it doesn't mean it can't or won't be done. herp derp!
Just be quiet and quit embarrassing yourself Ricky.|||

what point?!?! i listed a whole drawn out reply as to why i thought they wouldn't be in...twice! And all you say is, "DERP DERP DERP YOURE WRONG"
are you serious? like really? I can't tell...honestly can't tell, and that is just horribly sad.
Listen. If you want the last word feel free. Im not going to respond. you are honestly not worth it.|||1. Host at will or duels
2. Necromancer
3. Knight of zakarum
4. Meaningful skill/stats customization that rewards good players
5. Penalty for re-spec (changing your build)
|||You listed a long drawn out reply as to why it worked in D2.
You are saying that bots will be all but non-existent in D3 cause you can't think of a way to make them work. Just because you can't think of how to do it, it doesn't mean it won't be done. Thinking otherwise is completely ignorant. You are not the most elite programmer on the planet. Not by a long shot.
Bots may not exist for the first year, at most, but they will be programmed. It's just a matter of time.
Now get off your high horse, claiming to be "Mr. Omnipotent" Programmer.|||I want to be able to collect airmiles from the RMAH
I want to try to pickpocket some of the npc, get caught it's a penalty, successful you get something
hookers
blow
and a monster named after my exwife so I can repeatedly hunt it down|||Really, I am quite pleased with everything coming in Diablo 3.
My biggest wish is that they will eventually just say screw it, and implement features that support eSports.
Maybe after they implement a few more of their PvP stuff.
I know, I know, Jay Wilson doesn't like that, and that is not the goal of Diablo...but sometimes appealing to a large crowd (PvP scene) without impeding on the other large crowd (PvE) scene is nothing but good.
If Diablo 3 eventually becomes an eSport, then I will be satisfied with life.
And yes, I know it will probably never happen. But that's the point of wishes.|||There will be bots that run through every profitable area in the game. The bots will exist on release. Most of the farming will be done by Chinese RMT at first before the bots become more sophisticated. Simple scripts don't vary much from game to game.
Multiboxers hitting one button to fire off 6 attacks on 6 different characters at once is another issue that Blizzard will have to deal with if they actually decide to care. It doesn't lose them money from the RMT since they have to buy copies of the game and they will collect money on the RMAH backend. Still hurts the economy and is a big FU to the legitimate playerbase.|||

*facepalm* Didn't you read Rickymm3's post? There will be no bots in D3. He can't figure out how to do it, therefore it can't be done. Sheesh!!
