0.9.11's End-game Maps system unveiled

What story? I dont see that listed in the game features?!
Really not a fan of weapon swaps but I guess it was already being done through automated means like autoit scripts anyways, but kind of kills the immersion when you instantly pull out a 1h+sword and this oversized 2hander you were just carrying disappears into your B-Hole.

Now if it was like D&D pen/paper style where it counted as an action and had a full animation you had to sit through of the character strapping the current weapon to his back or into sheaths on his hip and pulling out the new set I would be fine with that, or giving an option to make it fast have the character drop the current weapons on the ground and pull out the new ones.


I use my movement phase to drop Mighty Composite Bow, and pull out my 2hand sword of Ogre decapitation! Death to the Shadow!

I wish D3 didn't have a story.

D3 is a boring pile of excrement. If he's happy playing that mess, more power to him.

Diablo 3 end game is kinda like this:

The nerfs will continue until morale improves.

+1

Also have it affected by increased attack speed, maybe put a node in shadow area of the tree to make it instant.

I mentally subscribed to PoE. Forever. This is my game of choice.


This is word by word, EXACTLY my wish for the endgame. I'll be a bit obnoxious and repeat that I called it, at the speculation thread. Let's quote myself:

"
You know what'd be awesome? Maps in the same normal-magic-rare distribution as items. These maps direct you to a hidden dungeon somewhere, and the monsters inside depend on the stats of the map... So you might have a map with +50% to monster health and +35% monster speed, and the dungeon it leads to has those modifiers (and provides more rewards in exchange).


So yep, I saw it coming. Also, in another thread I was suggesting a system similar to Bastion's idols for the endgame, and this is much and more!

I'm so happy GGG did this, it's all I was wishing for. Thank you GGG!


What if they stole the idea from you and never gave you credit? Sounds like it could be the deal here. :)
donde esta 9.11?

Can't wait to spend hours farming for maps and praying I don't make a map that has terrible mods on it.
