Can you guys explain to me more in detail on how the loot system goes when in a party? I haven't played the beta and haven't read any information at all to contain my excitement. However, I may need to get some information now that an imminent release is coming.

Ya I agree, dislike that...
Pre-ordered standard edition of d3, super excited.
You just reminded me of Bhaal runs back in the day. The click spamming when the item starts dropping out. RING OF TELEKINESIS FTW.
The stuff that is dropped only you can see and loot. Other people get thier own loot.

THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION IS....
Is Duriel back or someone else like him?
*thinks back to Diablo 2*
-HOLY FREEZE PWN
-"Looking for Baal?!?!?!"

From diablo.incgamers.com:
"Before patch 15, this was the tooltip of the buff that we get after killing Elites:
Defeating an Elite pack has increased your Magic Find and Gold Find.
Heres how it looks now:
Defeating an Elite pack has increased your Magic Find and Gold Find. This effect ends if you change skills.
I guess now we know how well get rewarded for making good all-around builds."

What an elegant way to incentivize sticking with a build once Hell/Inferno rolls around. I'm impressed.

However if you pick up your exclusive loot and then drop it later, others can see it then.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this before, but did anyone pre-purchase through Battle.net and pay through PayPal and get double charged? I have my PayPal charge and one through their online store. Did anyone else get this sort of thing happened? The online store one is still listed as pending. I'll probably wait till the pending goes away and if the two charges are there, I'll have to contact their support to get that fixed.

This just reminded me that diablo 3 won't support 8 players, which I believe was blizzards biggest mistake this time around. "too much on the screen" is a bad excuse since you couldn't see what the hell was going on in d2 a lot of the time anyway. All you could do to contribute in Baal runs was to try to click on the enemies through the madness, yet it was still freakin awesome.

Yet, aside from Baal runs, 8 players generally never actually all played together.

Because it's actually not that fun to play with so many people. I never played in parties bigger than 6.

That's what I find so hilarious about Blizzard. They don't need an obnoxious marketing blitz to sell the fuck out of their new game.
There's something very admirable about that.
I thought that playing solo in D2 wasn't very rewarding or challenging at all :/ that's a shame. Guess I'll have to play with random players then. The main reason I hated playing on BNet was because players would rush to get the loot and didn't care if it was a huge upgrade for you.. They just took it and probably sold it to a vendor lol. I'm kinda glad everybody gets their own loot now.

The only advertisement it really needs is a big sign that says "You can buy it now".
I don't mean conventional TV advertisements or CG clips, I mean stuff like showcasing new areas and abilities. Actually I'm not really sure what I want but I WANT MOAR DIABLO MARKETING.

thats what http://www.diablofans.com/ is for
Scroll down a bit (maybe on 2nd page by now) they've got previews of new areas and mobs
I really liked it. It gives you a really good overview of the Diablo universe and a lot of it's characters.
Even though I've played Diablo 1 and 2 for years, I never fully understood a lot of the main story beats, and The Book of Cain explains all of it in a really nice/fun way.
The only bummer is that after finishing it the wait for D3 is even harder!

They got a ton of free advertising the day they said May 15th release date. The Internets exploded that day lol. Pretty sure everyone already knows what D3 is anyway...can't wait for the launch trailer. Blizzard launch trailers are always so awesome.

Any　preorder sales going on?
Newegg had a $10-off code last week which has since expired, but other than that, nothing. There might be something more closer to release though.
