Da uno stream con Travis Day:

• Old Legendaries are going to get revamped in 2.1, but not retroactively, so hoarding them now is pointless
• No ETA for 2.1 yet, but some information about the patch will be shared 'pretty soon'
• Details about Legendary Gems are coming 'very soon' in a blog post
• The aforementioned Legendary gems will most probably fit into Rings and Amulets
• The devs are currently looking at how the Infernal Machine events can be improved (both as process and reward structure)
• The so-called "Hellfire Amulet" will come with 2.1
• Hellfire Amulet will unlock a randomly rolled Passive for your class
• Tiered Rifts are not going to be static dungeons: they are random - same as Nephalem Rifts, but the devs are working on toning down the amount of randomness that can impact the time for finishing a Rift
• Reduction of Conduit Pylon's power is being tested internally for Tiered Rifts, because the devs don't want players at the top of the Leaderboards to be there just because of luck
• The monsters in Tiered Rifts will drop no loot, but the bosses at the end will compensate with huge amounts of loot, including a very high chance for Legendaries, gems, crafting plans, and so on
• Cindercoat used to be even stronger internally and already was tuned down, but Blizzard is aware that it is still REALLY strong; no plans to nerf it though
• Invoker Set was originally intended to be a Crusader set as Thorns was a larger theme for Crusaders
• The devs are working on a new Crusader set that will buff Phalanx or Shield Bash
• Kadala is supposed to have a more positive attitude, but there's a bug that causes her to only speak the lines associated with getting Blue items, while she would be much nicer if you get a Legendary item: she should say stuff like "Have fun with your paperweight" when you get a Blue item while she should congratulate you on getting a Legendary
• Travis Day Quadboxes Crusaders, sometimes while watching TV and playing Hearthstone at the same time
• The Theorycraft Thursday tends to not feature the current high Torment builds because they're already well known
• New Theorycraft Thursday streams will be conducted every 6 weeks or so

Dagli stream d'anniversario queste sono le info trapelate:

• Seasons:
  • When a season ends, the loot and other benefits will carry over to the normal game
  • Players will be ranked per character and class
  • Each season will have new legendaries

• Tiered Rifts:
  • There will be different leaderboards for season and non-season Tiered Rifts
  • Tiered Rifts will also be separated between Normal and Hardcore
  • The speed of clearing a Tiered Rift will take part in determining how difficult the next one will be
  • Tiered Rifts will most probably serve as a benchmark for balancing classes

• Nephalem Rifts:
  • Pandemonium rifts were excluded from the options for Nephalem Rifts in patch 2.0.5
  • Rift Bosses will be tuned so that they deal pretty equal damage - this will not buff them though, but the opposite: the stronger attacks will receive some nerfs
  • The progress bar will be filling up differently depending on the type of monster killed

• Set Items:
  • Set items will be available for transmogrification in the future
  • Underwhelming sets will be revamped (No ETA yet)

• Lore:
  • In the early development stages there was an idea that Leah would accidentally kill Deckard Cain because she couldn't control her powers
  • Chances are there will be a new Angel of Justice now that the 'position' was vacated by Tyrael
  • The ending strongly suggests all the Prime Evils have been released, not just Diablo, but the devs aren't willing to spoil too much of the story

• Other:
  • Ground effects such as Plagued are currently bugged and deal too much damage - this will be hotfixed (see the Blue posts below)
  • An interesting fact: the battering ram in the Act 5 Pandemonium fortress entering does not move - it's the background that does
  • The devs have been thinking about the idea of Legendary gems as a reward from Tiered Rifts
  • They plan on doing something about the fact everyone uses Emeralds almost exclusively for their weapons
  • There are ideas about stashing the crafting mats in a similar way to the Gold and Blood Shards in order for inventory space to be saved
  • Currently there are no plans for additional Stash space being added
  • The Anniversary buff does not affect Kadala's loot

Nephalem Rifts

• Rift Guardians will get some tweaks to make their fight last approximately equally long for comparable times in tiered Rifts. (Orlash's disappearing for a shorter time specifically mentioned)
• RNG in Rift generation is going to be tweaked (expect more similar density levels) to make the times more comparable.
• The progress bar during Rifts will now advance according to monster health, elite packs will account for much more than they currently do.
• Rift-only zones are being looked at now that Adventure mode has given designers more freedom.

Tiered Rifts

• Concept: Each Rift has a timer (15 minutes mentioned). Rifts get increasingly difficult up to the point where you can't handle them anymore.
• There will be Leaderboards for Tiered Rifts (Separate for HC/SC, Season/Non-Season, classes and group sizes)
• Tiered Rifts will be used as a benchmark to measure class balance (solo capabilities, group synergy, high vs. low difficulty farming speed to be taken into account)
• 2.1 has been worked on for multiple months now. Tiered Rifts are working in the internal build, though some UI elemts are only prototyped.
• Opening Tiered Rifts will require normal Rifts for a new type of key.
• After clearing a Tiered Rift, the key for the next tier drops, allowing you to open it once.
• Rewards for Tiered Rifts are still being worked on but they should be the most rewarding thing you can do on a certain diffictuly (Legendary Gems hinted on)

Seasons

• Season's Leaderboards will probably be per class not per account.
• Season length has not been decided on yet, they'll likely not be uniform with the first season probably being rather long.
• Later seasons might change the rules of the game around.
• Season only items will be rolled into the droppable item pool in non-season games after the end of a season.

Crafting

• More Transmog options will be available in the next patch (Class sets, Class restricted items - their Transmog won't appear for other classes though)
• Treating crafting Mats like Currency and removing it from the stash is being discussed continuously.

Itemization

• Legendary items with elemental damage % are supposed to be flavorful, having a Cindercoat for every element is not happening.
• The Healing stats as a whole aren't where they need to be right now (part of the issue being that there isn't a gamemode [in SC] where it matters enough).
• The balancing for two-handed weapons is being influenced by Crusaders. It's still being looked into (note that a 50/50 ratio between the usage of 1h/2h amongst all classes is not desired, though).
• Certain Legendaries only dropping from specific monsters is not being planned right now as players doing the same thing over and over again to get what they want is not desired.

Classes

• Wizard
  • Hydras proccing a lot of Lightning Bolts on Electrified packs will be looked into.
  • Teleport changes were not because of Calamity/Wormhole, but instead to buff the average wizard.

Art Development

• Tools used: Maya, Photoshop, Blizzard's own editor, ZBrush (wasn't used by anyone but the cinematics team until a year ago)
• Easter egg: Act 2 has a Hydralisk head in an abandoned town (in Stinging Winds?).

Story / Lore

• Explaining with mood is preferred to explaining things with dialogue
• The writers have to compromise when writing their story because it has to fit from a gameplay perspective and can't be too expensive, art-wise.
• Skovos and Ureh were both supposed to be in the original Diablo 3, but were cut because they didn't seem to fit in.
• Class skill sets are designed before their actual backgrounds, so which classes are being added to the game is decided from a gameplay perspective first and foremost.
• The initial idea for Lorath was just "Tyrael has got to save someone's life in the cinematic", and when he was told to find the Player he suddenly had to actually be in the game to do just that, making him become a much more important character.
• Imperius and many other angels are shaken by Malthael's betrayal itself more than by what he did to humans, especially he was the eldest on the council.
• The angels fear the potential to choose good or evil in humans, specifically the Nephalem as he/she has become very powerful and him/her potentially turning evil is scary even to Tyrael.
• Malthael had the Power of the Prime Evils in him after consuming the Black Soulstone (to be able to defeat the Nephalem), not being possessed by them but rather him being able to channel their powers.
• After the death of Malthael, the combined Prime Evil Diablo was released, rather than the individual Evils.

Cain's Death

• Was supposed to happen later, but didn't seem fitting from a gameplay point of view.
• Since Tyrael (and later Adria) also took the role of the "Old Wise Man", there wasn't much for Cain to do, at this point.
• Letting Cain be killed off by Lea accidentally (her not being able to control her powers) was also an idea, but since Maghda was the Villain of the hour at this point in the game, the decision went in her "favor".

Misc

• Competitive PvE is still being looked into, even beyond Ladders and Tiered Rifts. How to measure success? Is highest Level in a season really the best measure?
• The PC and Console versions of the game influence each other and features from one may carry over to the other in the future.
• Adventure mode being better for leveling than Campaign mode is not really intentional, it should simply provide variety and its own rewards.
• There will likely be more community buffs in the future.
• Paid DLC is probably not going to happen, big expansions and free patches are Blizzard's way.
• The Clan and Community features will be expanded in the future.
• The Infernal Machine event might get expanded in the future, with better rewards added to it.
• Jay Wilson was the main force behind the combat design in Diablo 3 as well as its physics engine.
• Devs playing at home are not able to cheat.

riservato.

[Angels]

Il ricordo di Jay Wilson, porello, almeno un merito glielo lasciano

[Chiwaz]

Devo dire che mi piace quasi tutto quello che ho letto, spero solo non ci mettano troppo ad implementarlo.

Domanda: quando dicono questo

• When a season ends, the loot and other benefits will carry over to the normal game

significa che il loot del pg ladder finisce nel baule del pg non ladder, oppure si avrà la possibilità di droppare oggetti ladder in non-ladder?
Immagino però che la seconda cosa accadrà in ogni caso.

[Necronomicon]

Per ora a leggerlo così la frase intende solo la prima parte, mentre la seconda ancora non si sa.

[Sanpietrino]

C'è scritto pure che i season item saranno inseriti nella non season item pool .... Quindi si alla fine della season gli oggetti only season diventeranno droppabili anche in normal

[Chiwaz]

C'è scritto pure che i season item saranno inseriti nella non season item pool .... Quindi si alla fine della season gli oggetti only season diventeranno droppabili anche in normal

Appunto, quella è la parte scontata
Io volevo capire cosa succede a quelli già droppati.

[Sanpietrino]

Te dici la prima parte boh la seconda sicuro.... Necrologio ice il contrario... Accordatevi... La verità è che sono vere tutte è due i pg ladder diventeranno non ladder con tutti gli oggetti drogati e gli oggetti only ladder diventeranno droppabili anche in normal

[MAX MIND]

La roba da leggere è tanta ma c'è scritto:
- When a season ends, the loot and other benefits will carry over to the normal game
- Season only items will be rolled into the droppable item pool in non-season games after the end of a season.

- Season length has not been decided on yet, they'll likely not be uniform with the first season probably being rather long.

[Chiwaz]

Max, abbi pietà, se l'ho quotato vuol dire che l'ho letto
Solo che mi sembra ambiguo. L'interpretazione per cui propendere mi sembra però quella del fatto che si potranno droppare e bon.

[Necronomicon]

Io mi riferivo solo alla parte quotata dal chiwaz, avesse quotato l'altra frase avrei dato risposta diversa

[MAX MIND]

Il pg che ti sei creato in ladder e l'equip droppato diventano non-ladder.
Inoltre gli oggetti ladder-only della season1 diventano droppabili in non ladder appena parte la season2.

[Necronomicon]

Però gli oggetti ladder only vi usciranno quando sarete a lvl15

[Chiwaz]

Oh grazie, questo è quello che volevo capire

Peccato solo non abbiano intenzione di dare più spazio al baule.

[Tyus da bass]

Con l'arrivo delle ladder aumenteranno il numero di pg disponibili o si rimane fermi a 12?

E' certo questo? Nessun possibile ripensamento?

[MAX MIND]

Si rimane fermi a 12 slot e finora nessuna news su espansioni del baule.

Qualcosa dovranno fare però nel momento in cui scade una ladder e ho 4 tab del forziere piene di roba da esportare in non ladder

• Travis Day Quadboxes Crusaders, sometimes while watching TV and playing Hearthstone at the same time
• The Theorycraft Thursday tends to not feature the current high Torment builds because they're already well known
• New Theorycraft Thursday streams will be conducted every 6 weeks or so

TL;DR:
- revamp dei leggendari NON retroattivo
- inseriranno gemme leggendarie per amuleti e anelli
- hellfire amulet che permetterà di avere una 5a passiva (random, ma sempre della classe del pg che crafta l'amuleto)
- nei tiered rift solo il boss droppa loot (possibilità di leggendari) per favorire la velocità

[showa]

E' così potente Cindercoat?

[PierPaoloB]

Meriti a jay Wilson per aver fatto cosa? Introduzione delle cose più vergognose mai viste in un videogame? Perdita totale di credibilità sul prodotto e l'azienda? Non poter giocare al dayone e settimane successive per errori e online forzato, tutto per sapere chi aveva scelto la classe x e con quale sesso? Aver preso per i fondelli i beta tester che infuriati e delusi hanno abbandonato il titolo attaccandosi all'assistenza? Non poter finire il gioco senza comprare items dalla casa d'aste? Ma soprattutto come fate ancora a giocarci? Perché avete comprato l'espansione? Lol auguri

[MAX MIND]

E' così potente Cindercoat?

giacofosco.

Riduzione fino al 30% sul costo skill fuoco oltre al bonus elementale è devastante

[Necronomicon]

E' così potente Cindercoat?

Abbastanza, ma vista la perfezione della mia, spero non intendano nerfarla

[Il Somax]

Abbastanza, ma vista la perfezione della mia, spero non intendano nerfarla

Se ne droppo una perfetta io, la nerfano direttamente

[Chiwaz]

• Kadala is supposed to have a more positive attitude, but there's a bug that causes her to only speak the lines associated with getting Blue items, while she would be much nicer if you get a Legendary item: she should say stuff like "Have fun with your paperweight" when you get a Blue item while she should congratulate you on getting a Legendary

quindi è stronza per un baco
