Or maybe he was just playing Rock Band: Diablo

 

rofl jesus... .my bad,.... yeah a barb.. i named him Beutha..... lol i also trained a Necromancer as a zookeeper by the name of Fukas to level 35.

 

BTW i never used any trainer and never used any trick... this was an originally trained barb as i intended to use it for online battles.... i never played Diablo after that "dosc throw-away" incident.. but im sure i have the save files somewhere.... if anyone thinks the character can be usefull .. do let me know. ill send the files over... and it was LOD expansion character.

I started again last night. Blizzard is bad for the soul. They should have an Blizzard Anonymous forum to help people like us withdraw.

There's no need for alcohol or nicotine - all I need is a steady mouse replacement channel, and someone to wipe away the tears from staring at the mouldy green colour of grass.

 

Necros Rooooooooool!!!

 

If someone wants to know what pain is - real gut wrenching pain - play in Hell. The character that you built up so lovingly will be wiped out by the insignificant quill rat - very very quickly.

Definite Battle.net 2.0 Features

 

As mentioned in the previous article about Blizzard's game network, most of Battle.net 2.0 is still tightly under wraps, and while the Diablo III forum spam we have seen for the past month has been most annoying, a complete solution to that problem will wait until StarCraft II's release, sources tell us. This is of course unfortunate, but if the situation slips out of control completely, Blizzard will do something drastic, like software upgrades, or closing down the forums and reserve it for 'blue' posts. Regardless, the next version of Battle.net should be upon us soon and this is what we have been able to squeeze out of Blizzard reps that WILL be in the gaming network:

 

 

Definite Battle.net 2.0 Features

 

Blizzard Quote:

Wilson: We're working on a new version of Battle.net, and there is a major revision in how it works. The goal is to simply provide the best online experience that you can find in any game. If you're playing a Blizzard game, we want you to be part of the Blizzard community. We want people to find their friends quickly, to communicate with them, and to play together.

 

 

Improved Battle.net In-Game Functionality

Any quote from Blizzard clearly states that while they won't talk much about Battle.net 2.0, we will be blown away or be very impressed. It's a given that all current features for Battle.net will be included - and improved! Blizzard has said they have learned a lot from WoW on infrastructure, and features from WoW will definitely also be seen. So Battlenet 2.0 WILL feature:

Excellent Ping

Channels and Chat in-game

Ladders and Rankings, secured against cheating.

Extended stats, with possibility to see who D/C etc

AMM-type Matchmaking

Avatars, Images and Icons to represent yourself

Diablo III Hardcore mode

Friends/Ignore Lists with advanced management (see accounts below)

Clan Support

Automated Tournaments

As an example, we just found out that Diablo III players will possibly deal with all their trading directly by whispers in the new network. With this in mind, we can expect many simple and useful features directly in the system.

 

 

Achievements

Just like in WoW, Achievements will be added to Diablo III and StarCraft II. Achievements such as "Win 100 StarCraft II games", or "Level your character to 100" are the new way of playing online and will be recorded on Account basis. Blizzard have explained that all games' Achievements will give a score that stacks to give you a "Blizzard level". Whether these features will be available only for new games, or all Blizzard's Battle.net games is unknown but it seems likely they will only be available in new releases. A preview of this system can be found in World of WarCraft, where testing is now commencing in the Wrath of the Lich King Beta.

 

Besides being entertaining, the purpose is also to bring people in to the multiplayer game, as the Achievements will only be available online where they can be checked against cheating. It should be more fun online, even solo. Trading and co-op is just a bonus, and Jay Wilson has even said that Diablo III won't even contain any other networking functionality besides Battle.net.

 

 

In-Game Voice Chat

Especially mentioned for StarCraft II, but also a very likely feature in other games is VoIP (Voice over IP) or "Voice Chat". The technology is already implemented in WoW, and has been promised as an example of what will come with Battle.net. It probably won't replace Ventrilo/TeamSpeak for the active gamers, but a great new way to chat for those who don't wish to use a third party program.

 

 

Hack-Free

As Blizzard is learning from WoW when it comes to server infrastructure where they are battling hackers and exploiters, the new Battle.net will be built on programming that prevent any form of hacking or cheating. Taking several lessons from WoW in that regard, "duping" in Diablo III will be come impossible. Chris Sigaty promised me that they will ensure security as best we can, to keep it fair for all players. The Blizzard Accounts will also encourage people to be more responsible online.

 

 

"eSport Support"

We don't have the details on what this means exactly; there will be support for eSports and those features will probably be available for custom tournaments or ladders as well. IPTV and broadcasted matches are likely features, but only StarCraft II is currently confirmed to have eSport support, with new and advanced replay mode, tournaments, leagues and spectator mode. Diablo III eSports are not unlikely, but we'll see more when PvP combat is revealed. Either way, the eSports team would be in charge of it.

 

Blizzard Quote:

Frank Pearce: One of the features we are definitely working on improving and in integrating much better is the replay-functionality which is naturally important for the e-sports-community. We are working at better support for tournaments and leagues on battle.net so that there is a lot more facility in that regard. We are talking about things like cameraman-functionality which we already have in World of Warcraft as well.

 

We are also talking about potential spectator’s functionality and things like that. We have an e-sports-team internally whose responsibility is to host the events that we run and also work for parties so that e-sports-team will be responsible for e-sport with StarCraft 2 as well.

 

Blizzard Accounts - Major Web Upgrade

If these "Blizzard Accounts" are the same as the current ones, or if they will be located on Battle.net is not yet revealed. Considering the handy integration with the Blizzard Store, it seems likely.

 

There is currently a web presence for the games today through Battle.net, but there is still room for improvement. Even Blizzard reps admit to that, and say: "Wait for B.net 2.0!". Blizzard sources have said that they will make upgrades to the forums, and that these boards won't be flooded with thousands of spam threads every so often. We'll get to sort friends lists and other features directly on one control panel on the web - On Battle.net, or linked to it. A forum software like the WoW boards seems likely.

 

Even vBulletin now uses profile pages (example: Leord) for creating stronger bonds with the community, and the account at Battle.net will surely outdo that! It would have a registration similar to the Blizzard Store and possibly even tie in the store to the account for easy upgrades/purchases.

 

While we don't know if the Accounts will be located on Battle.net, they will most likely be an integral part of the Battle.net experience, and linking together Achievements from WoW, StarCraft II and Diablo III. You would be able to register your games with the central account, and get to see all your stats as well as friends' (or foes'). The account will probably be able to give you detailed stats of your games and characters, just like the World of WarCraft Armory.

 

 

Blizzard Quote:

Kaplan: Your ‘WoW’ score would be just one factor that will go into your Blizzard Level. And rather than call it a ’score,’ we just wanted it to be like you’re leveling up on Blizzard games… You’ll have this Blizzard identity, and you’ll be able to see things like ‘Oh, this guy was great at Diablo III, but he never played Starcraft and he was mediocre in WoW. That sort of thing.

 

 

 

Online Responsibility 2.0

Accountability is another thing that comes with an account. If you use a hack, or try to maliciously exploit a game, you could be banned from not only your game, but all the social contacts, Achievement points and status that comes with it - perhaps even other games you have bought! While you would still be able to play offline, it's a BIG step towards making people feel more responsible for their actions online. Add in personal ban lists, or alert lists of "bad" players, and you'll realize you might want to behave online, or be left out!

 

 

Battle.net 2.0 Launch Date

Blizzard never give release dates (...any more! They used to, a long time ago), we do actually have an ETA on both Battle.net 2.0 and StarCraft II. Diablo III's date is unfortunately still held in mystery, but we will probably get a better idea at BlizzCon 2008. We know that the first true peek of Battle.net 2.0 will be given at the latest by the StarCraft II release (more likely by the StarCraft II beta). The StarCraft II beta seems likely to start before the end of the year, so the new Battle.net will at least be available to try out by then. With this information, the definite release date of Battle.net 2.0 then really becomes a discussion of the StarCraft II release date, a few months from now we'll be surfing it and counting the score points to our next "Blizzard Level".

 

Blizzard Quote:

I think probably sometimes towards the end of the year, we're going to really start talking about the new Battle.net features as they pertain to StarCraft 2.

 

 

Blizzard Quote:

Play over Battle.net, join your friends at any time. We have a lot of improvements to Battle.net. Whole newer version of it. It's going to premiere with sc 2. you can be sure everything Starcraft 2 uses we'll take advantage of and many more cool features. It supports easy communication and connection with other players. Matchmaking. Get online, find friends, have a good time quickly.

 

On the multiplayer side [of Diablo III], Battle.net isn't ready to premiere yet, but we'll have more about that in the coming months.

Also boobies and fatalities :huh:

 

He knows me so well :(

 

Does Conan have a trial I can play around with like WoW? And the only MMO I play(ed) is Guild Wars since that lets me play at my own pace without the crazy Guild pressures. I would rather spend 600 per month on WoW - but as we all know - that means kissing my life goodbye.
