Diablo 3 lead designer Jay Wilson spoke to the recent changes in the Diablo 3 beta.

Here are the most important information at a glance:

• Scroll of identification - the familiar scroll from Diablo 2 was removed in the latest patch. Now you can easily identify items with a right click and save a little space in your inventory. In order to increase the tension a bit, it will take a moment to show the stats of the item.
• Potions have its own button. This is the fifth Place in the action bar and moved slightly modified. The massive use of potions (like in Diablo 2) is suppressed, so that one gets on well with the players as a field.
• The mystic has been temporarily removed from the beta, and probably in later after release.
• The boiler of Jordan and the Nephalemwürfel been removed - but probably permanently, in order to allow the player to his well-deserved break in the city. So the gameplay is somewhat curbed, but this is my opinion, good for the longer game play.
• Normal items (white) with the latest patch can not be recycled, to give us the opportunity to continue to leave huge piles of items on the floor. In Diablo 2, these items were indeed good and often expensive (eg essential Normal Items in order to improve it by prescription in the base defense), but 99.9% of the articles could easily be described as rubbish
• New attributes and effects
• Strength: Increases the damage of the barbarians and the armor of all classes
• Dexterity: Increases the damage of demon hunters and monks. Also ensures better alternative opportunities for all classes.
• Intelligence: Increases the damage of the sorcerer and witch doctor Improved, also the effect of healing Globes.
• Vitality: Increases the life of all classes
• These attributes are omitted, the precision, attack and defense - or to be replaced. Blizzard specifically solves the problems that players never knew exactly how the damage was reduced in Diablo from what source. With the new designation of "physical resistance" at Blizzard are clear about what that value and "Critical Hit" is a term every role player. This is in Diablo II, partly so, partly on objects also death blow.

How you like the changes? Overall it seems well underway in the Diablo 3 beta to go so that we can look forward to an early release. Who does not have a Diablo 3 Betakey should apply in his Battle.net account for it - but it makes on a home PC, because Blizzard monitors your hardware so that keys may be only to users, where Diablo 3 runs really well.

Jay Wilson added yet, that the patch will be released only on Monday, as there were some bugs that needed to be corrected to /.

Quick update for everyone! We've discovered a few issues with login Beta Patch 10 Which Could Affect player. Instead of releasing the patch as-is and addressing those issues later, we felt it Necessary to take some time to resolve them now. As a result, the soonest we'll be able to release Beta Patch 10 is next Monday, January 23rd

One could almost believe that Blizzard has made ​​the success of d2jsp drawn his conclusions and incorporate them in Diablo 3, because that is just under a week in the beta integrated auction house come with a real money account, therefore.

A positive factor is that of eBay trading and shop-spam so that should come to an end and the users are also better protected from fraud. The Auction House (in the style of World of Warcraft) allows safe and comfortable while swapping of goods without any risk.

A slightly negative connotation remains, however, because real money is often destroyed the economy of a game. Since Diablo differs not from the real economy, where increasing the pressure of fresh money in general, the prices can be.

Just as I get my fortune now in Diablo 3?

From Diablo 2 one can learn that it have a coveted consumer goods, in contrast to the virtual currency "FG" proved to be relatively stable in value. Note, for example, prices for Craft sets such as (RAL, PA, CRAPJEWEL).

Whether this in Diablo 3 will be possible depends, of course, the next patch and extension (s) from which retain all consumer goods either, or could devalue.

Last but not least is obtained by means of the already announced 2008 char / or account-bound items (BoE) have a certain stability, which did not exist in Diablo II.

My conclusion: Clean gebalanced an overall good move.

What do you think of the auction house?

Blizzard surprised some places with the colors of the objects in old versions of Diablo III.

Now it seems the design team to have reached agreement on a roughly D2-like system.

• Unique items (now legendary): orange
• Rare Items: yellow
• Magic Items: Blue
• Rune: purple
• Quest Items: Green

Orange is the color may be an allusion to the Legendary items in World of Warcraft, and thus an indication of the greater rarity of these "Uniques"? Desirable course would be a low drop rate, to increase the diversity of equipment, but were previously rare items and Crafts in Diablo 2 is the best way to achieve this.
