I saw it once. And not since. Also using chrome. I've been unable to reproduce it but would like to report it if I can get some reproduction steps/info to include.

Good deal. Here's to Barbarians dual wielding wands!
Barbs can't use wands. :)

Starcraft 2 Scares Me

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 22:52:57 +0000

There are technical issues with all games, the amount seen for StarCraft II is appropriate in my personal observation. Looking at 'last post' times, the forum is moving, but not at a pace where alarms go off. Not in my head at least.
Its been a month since the game's release but I dont think things...

Vote On UI Please

what I hear that it is a system that we are going to be changing "on the fly" during combat. My initial thought in this case would be
Hrm. I don't think we've ever said anything officially that would give the impression that any changes of anything is intended to be done on the fly during...

y u mad bra? somebody's butt hurt.
Not at all! It's a very simple and quick process to remove things that I don't want to read, such as what you were posting, so I did.

Blizzard/Diablo 3 at PAX tomorrow?

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 20:01:57 +0000

Cataclysm and StarCraft II will be running at the nvidia booth and we sent a couple people out there to support it and answer questions. Nothing really official though, and no Diablo III.

I still love the barbarian.

Site Update - Crafting System

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:06:27 +0000

Bashiok can you tell us if Runestones are considered a system as well and we can also expect a page about them?
Runestones are definitely one of the core systems, and we'd like to make a page for them. It's just a matter of when.

Caravan: Single-player Only?

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 23:04:03 +0000

Yea that was a concern I had as well. If you were lucky enough to find a very rare powerful recipe, you would want to control the production of it. It would have been lame if any1 in the current game with you could just start using your' artisans at their leisure.
I always imagined a situation wher...

Pick-everything-up button

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 21:55:09 +0000

We don't like and don't want to encourage any type of item-hoovering. Killing monsters, seeing items pop out, and then picking them up is part of the game.
We don't mind auto-pickup for gold because there's never any reason you wouldn't pick it up, because it doesn't take up inventory space. Anythi...

Bashiok? 19,683 L5 Gems for one L14 Gem?

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 17:01:24 +0000

But what if the recipe calls for a gem in it's creation. In that instance, it's not really a socketed item as an ingredient. Can we still re-coup the gem in this case? Or will we never run into this circumstance?

The idea of gems even being required for recipes is still just a notion, so in-...

Talisman at Blizzon

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 20:37:45 +0000

You know, that thing I've been mentioning for a couple of years... where every time I bring it up you brand me as a crazy person.
Oh right! The Talisman. It's pretty cool. You'll see it one of these days. You've already seen what goes into it.

youtube channel suggestion

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 20:23:31 +0000

How about an introduction when we pick the class in the begining similar to world of warcraft some bold voice starts telling the tale of the class, show some lore & stuff for inspiration
Hrm, yeah, that sure would be cool.

Deadly Strike/Critical Strike

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 00:43:18 +0000

We have Critical Strikes. When you crit it does 50% more damage. Your chance to crit and increase above the 50% are both variable with skills, items, etc.

5 Artisans?

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 20:00:22 +0000

Blizzard does spoil quite a lot.
lol?
Yes that was the final stage of the blacksmith, although pretty much final nothing in the video had final lighting or effects so it'll all look even more awesomer.

Adding Sockets - Random or Static?

Sat, 21 Aug 2010 01:44:00 +0000

How do items that take up 2 slots in the inventory have more than 2 sockets?
Requiring you to equip the item to gem?
Also, will they all looks visually appealing like for the Shield example, or will they just be stuck to the center.
The shield one was stuck to the center.

Low res models

Sat, 21 Aug 2010 01:40:45 +0000

The only reason I am bringing up WoW is because it's a Blizz game and I see that inconsistency. Sylvanas has an AMAZING detailed model and textures but it doesn't disallow masses of people of playing the game on low end machines.
That's because it's one character that exists once in the entire gam...

Please dont exclude Gambling

Sat, 21 Aug 2010 00:40:05 +0000

I can see there being a possibility for some high end crafting recipes to have fewer or no fixed attributes, which in the latter case would be gambling, essentially. But better.
As far as a system dedicated to gambling, there are no current plans, but as I just said gambling could be pulled off a w...
