The Q%26amp;A session covers topics such as guilds, stash, multiplayer, trading, cheating, PvP, eSports, automated stats, skills, shrines, kill combo bonuses, and the Cain rap.
Q: Will you push Diablo 3 as an eSport game?
A: It will definitely have PvP, but look at how StarCraft II is designed with this in mind, it's so important for StarCraft. We would have to make quite a few compromises with the game to make eSport a cornerstone of Diablo 3. We will make PvP bigger than in Diablo 2, but our goal is not to take it to the progamer level.
Q: Diablo 2 Guilds are basically needed in Diablo 3 in order to help you if you get killed, and to give you support when playing, what will be done in Diablo 3 to make guilds needed?
A: We have not looked into making guilds yet as the game is so early in development, but we have some great ideas for encouraging people to make guilds. We want to avoid doing things that can ruin things for non-guilded players. We would love to do a lot of things that play into guilds.
Q: Will there be another Cain rap song?
A: I'm not sure, was it us that made it (Bashiok: Yes, it was actually us). Well, then there are definitely the possibility.
Q: Talking about guilds, will there be like a Guild Stash?
A: We haven't started on that type of things yet. Battle.net isn't done yet. We've had some small small talks about it, that's it.
Q: What is the circle in the middle of the inventory screen?
A: It's a function we call the Talisman. It might not have a function in this build, I can't remember, but it's all about character customisation. It's a feature that is not set in stone, so it might change drastically, or even be removed.
Q: Will there be distinct class roles to fill, like in WoW?
A: We want a well balanced crew, where they are able to hold their own. Not really roles, but there will be good to have some of the special abilities around.
Q: In Diablo 2 your only way to respec would be to reroll. It got a bit better with the synergy bonuses on skills. What are you doing to improve the skill system?
A: One thing that we have changed is that these synergies is their own skills. A lot of new passive skills are added and the tree is more split up. You can move down your skill tree without wasting points. There is also more room for specialization to grow more individual. We also now have a respec system, so you don't have to reroll to get other skills.
Q: Is four people multiplayer games set in stone?
A: It grows more and more set all the time. In Diablo 2, eight player games are very uncommon, and they wouldn't be in the same party or the like and we have just found that it's not as fun as with four people. We have the ability to set any number we want, but four seems to work out very well.
Q: Playing Diablo III you come to a place where it says %26quot;Checkpoint Reached%26quot;. Is this the same as a Waypoint?
A: This is more of an improvement on the old system, a checkpoint is a way to save progress. A difference is that you can't teleport away from them, but you can jump TO any checkpoint. It's easier, and in Diablo II you might run around for ages looking for the waypoint.
Q: When I played online with a friend, I had the problem that I did a lot of damage, but my friend got the killing blow and all the experience, is there a similar problem with Diablo 3?
A: It actually splits experience if you are in a party, so just join a party.
Q: Other companies use some of your gaming ideas in their games, and you obviously use others. Can you give me an example of an idea you found elsewhere and took to your development.
A: Achievement system. Not really a special developer, for all types of games has this, but a bit like X-Box Live.
Q: Will there be shrines in Diablo 3?
A: We have not decided about it. We have ideas for shrines. The things is that only two shrines were actually interesting to the player: Experience Shrines and Monster Shrines. Other shrines where like %26quot;nah%26quot;. We want to bring some system in with this functionality. This is where the combo exp bonus comes from. It's not replacing shrines, but it's playing in to it.
Q: Trading is a big thing in Diablo 2, how will you handle this in D3?
A: We haven't decided this so much yet, people trade when they get items in games, but trading is definitely something that will have a heavy focus in Diablo 3.
