LOL, That marauder holding the two rangers cracked me up, him using cyclone with them and all.

Woah woah woah. There were TWO towns before? o-o

I hope GGG are listening. Give me a basic cloak mtx, then let me purchase expendable colour dyes so I can re-colour them to suit my particular colour palette for each character. I would purchase the hell out of those!

Thanks to Eben for making cloaks a reality!

We need one or multiple of the following:
-Ranger weapon effect
-Ranger Cyclone
-Ranger Back attatchment
Please make it happen!
xD

Nice interview!
Alex really seems to be the wonderchild type :D
It amazes me to see more of the inner workings of a game that genuinely fascinates me!

I actually started to work on my own game engine a while ago,
and I am currently a bit stuck on the physics.

So I wanted to ask if maybe you could give a novice programmer some hints on where to start learning all that physics magic?

I literally logged in just to say this.

I would pay good money to get a ragdoll MTX like the Ranger, or better yet, be able to imitate any player I wanted to! :D :D :D

could be nice that you guys actually work on you ping spikes imo

nice

That was hilarious XD

Yep. During closed beta, only act 1 and 2 were available. There were a 4th difficulty after merciless called "ruthless" (if I remember well).
When defeating Vaal Oversoul, you had a portal to twilight strand in next difficulty :p
