Official Diablo 3 Thread

found this on another website with regards on the issue of Diablo III's availability (follow-up on waterboy0911's post):

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011...y-cash-trades/

1) The game requires a constant internet connection. It cannot be played offline.
2) Mods are "expressly prohibited."
3) Items in the auction house are bought and sold for real-life money.


Blizzard's answers:


1) "One of the things that we felt was really important was that if you did play offline, if we allowed for that experience, you'd start a character, you'd get him all the way to level 20 or level 30 or level 40 or what have you, and then at that point you might decide to want to venture onto Battle.net. But you'd have to start a character from scratch, because there'd be no way for us to guarantee no cheats were involved, if we let you play on the client and then take that character online." Also, piracy.

2) "For a variety of gameplay and security reasons, we will not be supporting bots or mods in Diablo III, and they'll be expressly prohibited by our terms of use for the game."


3) "We think it's really going to add a lot of depth to the game. If I have more money than time I can purchase items, or if I'm leet in the game I can get benefits out of it. The players really want it. This is something that we know people are going to do either way. We can provide them a really safe, awesome, fun experience, or they'll find ways of doing it elsewhere."

I don't really like the "No Offline Mode" idea. Kasuway ko duwa sa ilang Starcraft 2 multiplayer, grabe ka'lag sa ato diri sa Pilipinas bay, the good thing was we can play offline though versus with the AI. Samot na kaha kung moduwa pa ta diri using Single Player sa Diablo 3, example lang da'an kay nakapatay ka'g monster/boss/whatever nga monster diha, unya nigawas kay nindot item, padulong pa gali ka kuha sa item, unya kalit putol imong net.. toink! Ma'o na ni'sign nalang ko apil sa petition -> Diablo 3 Offline Single Player Petition Petition. Dapat gyud nga ang Single Player kay pwede offline mode, dili online. Dapat gali ana kay ang multiplayer lang ang online due sa party2x. Oh by the way, they say the Beta ends at the end of September, so probably the game will come out at somewhere in November or December.

Pretty sure theres gonna be an offline mode sa mga cracked paras campaign.. Been playing SC2 for a while.. never really experienced any lags aside katong na yabag ang PLDT connecting to the US servers, if sea ko pirme absolutely no lag.

[raging_hero]
