So, trying to get us back on track:

Quote from:  Travis Day
So first I want to touch on the Serpent's Sparker really quick. The item that people saw screen shots of at Gamescon was not a final version of the item, that item was changed to be "Allows you to have 1 additional Hydra active".

One of the most important things about expansion legendary effects is that, as much as possible, they are designed to change how players interact with the game. That could mean they make a skill you don't currently use something you want to use, you interact with the environment in a different way, you interact with monsters in a different way etc. An example of this is one of the legendaries we added recently gives players a speed boost every time they destroy something (barrels, barriers, etc) suddenly you find yourself wanting to break random crates you may have ignored previously.

Jawbreaker was another example people saw at Gamescon, it makes your Dashing Strike free when you hit a target more than 25 yards away. When people get their hands on the new and improved version of Dashing Strike I suspect they will appreciate how awesome that effect is ;)

There will also be some items that exist just because they are cool. For example The Cow King's Halberd is one that I made just because I wanted to make something that captured a really cool element from D2. It deal's lightning damage (and yes elemental damage types have effects associated with them now) because it's a nod to the Cow King himself and also has a chance to summon a herd of murderous cows to fight with you. That effect isn't really changing any gameplay... but cmon it's just awesome!

There is still a tremendous amount of work from now til the expansion releases and we are still coming up with and implementing awesome ideas on a daily basis. Given the philosophy point I listed above I would love to hear what kind of cool things you guys would like to see. Things that change your gameplay, big or small, and class agnostic things are the best. For example "Knockback skills now deal more damage and knock targets back further". That is an effect that opens up build possibilities for more than one class and gets people thinking about how a single item can change the way you interact with the game or what skills you want to use.

Source: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/9793109384?page=4#75

I like this route, but I still worry about other affixes.  Hopefully I won't get the awesome "This totally changes my character in an awesome way" legendary item with +12345 thorns damage instead of critical chance.  Ohhhhh, I see.

Empty promises and design docs from a company unable to produce a compelling sequel to their own game aren't interesting. Reaping of Souls will be interesting once there's more than "Oh we're totally going to do this" and "boy howdy did we learn our lesson" vapeware talk.

I think it's just because you and I are the only ones checking at certain times.  Which is sad for us both.

That said, Take very little I do here seriously and less with any tone of malice or disagreement.  You're one of the few I can count on to get the joke or at least play unknowing straight man. I assume most just take me for a straight-up asshole.

When we initially designed and implemented the auction houses, the driving goal was to provide a convenient and secure system for trades. But as we've mentioned on different occasions, it became increasingly clear that despite the benefits of the AH system and the fact that many players around the world use it, it ultimately undermines Diablo's core game play: kill monsters to get cool loot. With that in mind, we want to let everyone know that we've decided to remove the gold and real-money auction house system from Diablo III.

That's just awesome! Now they have no reason at all to make us log in to battle.net to play unless we want to play multi-user. It's nice to know that once they get rid of the original team and all the egos that they can see the obvious.

Holy shit!

Of course, the cynic in me says that Blizz has finally reached the tipping point where the profit from the AH's is worth less than the bad press.

I literally laughed out loud when evilLeah transformed into FemmeDiablo in that cutscene and sashayed into heaven.

Didn't FemmeDiablo literally have high-heels and plate boobs? I'm wondering if the social justice warrior brigade ever thought about the combination of all evils being a woman or whatever.

Take a look at Kerrigan in the cutscenes.  She literally has mutated Zerg High Heel Boots on.  It's very, very fucking weird.

the more I think about it, the funnier it gets.

The combination of all known evils is a female Diablo with an hour-glass figure, demon-chitin/plate/whatever boobs, and natural high-heels.

And all she does the entire last act is talk to you. Incessantly. She literally nags you.
