Blizzard fortsetter å mekke på Diablo 3.
Her snakker de om hva deres mål for endgame er (altså når en har nådd maks level med sin karakter)
We?re working hard on balancing and testing Diablo III, and one of the major components is making sure that the end game experience is fun and exciting. We?d like to share a few of our goals for end game:
We have an enormous number of skill build combinations, and we want a lot of those skill builds to be viable and interestingWhile there are millions of skill builds available to players, we don?t want players swapping skills regularly to beat specific encounters as they come upWe don?t want repeatedly running specific three-minute chunks of the game to be the most efficient way to acquire gear for your characterWhile a three-minute run shouldn?t be the most efficient, we also don?t want you to feel like it?s a two-hour commitment every time you sit down to playBosses should still feel worth killing
Nephalem Valor is one of the major new systems in Diablo III and it kicks in at level 60. Keep in mind that this is still in testing and we?re still working out the details. Here?s how it currently works internally: Rare and Champion packs already have great loot on them. By killing a Rare or Champion pack, not only do you get their loot, but you?ll also receive a buff granting you increased magic find and gold find. However, if you change a skill, skill rune, passive, or leave the game, the buff disappears. As an extra reward, if you kill a boss while this buff is active, you?ll receive extra loot drops from that boss.
The exact amount of magic find and gold find provided by the buff is still being reviewed, as is the amount of extra loot you get from a boss while the buff is active. We?re also playing around with whether or not the buff stacks, what the duration should be, and whether or not it should persist through death. We want to make sure the buff is strong enough to make staying in your current game more rewarding than creating a new game. At the same time, if the buff is too strong, it risks making shorter play sessions feel not worthwhile.
We expect this system will encourage players to stick with a skill build of their choice, select an area of the game they enjoy, and sweep it for rare and champion packs on their way to a boss, finishing off a run with a boss that?ll be worth killing. If you wanted a shorter play session you could be done at that point, but if you have more time, the path of least resistance would ideally be to stay in the same game and make your way towards the next boss.
Veldig bra at de jobber med endgame, men samtidig litt merkelig at såpass mye fremdeles er uavklart så nært release.
Får liksom inntrkk av at blizzard godt kunen tenkt seg 6 måneder til med utviklingstid på Diablo 3, men de må bare får ut spillet nå koste hva det koste vil nesten.
Litt ppussig det at de vil kontrollere hvordan folk faktisk spiller spillet deres da, iogmed at de ikke vil at en spiller på så og så måte, f.eks bytter mellom skills avhengig av situasjoner.
Håper de ihvertfall har klart å bli fornøyd med mesteparten av spillet, at de ikke driver å endrer på alt mulig selv etter at spillet er ute.
