Blizzard : Blizzard vice president to disclose more details of the development of Diablo 3

During the just-concluded Carnival Blizzard Blizzcon, the site of the game from Joystick reporter had the privilege of an interview with Blizzard's vice president of the RobPardo, asked him to talk about the "Diablo 3" to develop some of the details.

Q: We saw the game at the stone, also have taken note of the drilling equipment, and other combat-related system of what?

A: Yes. At present, there are a number of system design, these systems of the original game's old system improvements. There are a number of systems is the introduction of a new Dark 3 (a detailed report screenshot). At present, however, can not reveal too many details because the time is not ripe. Another reason is that if we do things to make, we may not like. This is what we thought the development one of the advantages: We try to keep, and if the result is true that we use in the game; if the result is not good, we will continue to develop new things.

Q: When and the role of the NPC dialogue, NPC will make a corresponding answer. This is how to do.

A: I do not think the system has been perfected. In the last year or earlier before, we have repeatedly pointed out the system. We have gone through many stages of design. There was a time when we did not even make use of dialogue in the system, the role players do not have to say. The system now has two options, the system has also improved, will take some time.

Our Dark establishment of 3 is one of the objectives of adding more into role-playing elements. I think the Dark One of the shortcomings of the early works is too focused on the elements of the action, do not have enough story, there is no role-playing game selective. This is the most we would like to add the Dark 3. But we will not let the rhythm of the game slow down. We will maintain the fast-paced game, we do not want to point game into a mad dialog box. The system is a good model, we have to improve at the same time, maintain the rhythm of the game.

Q: It seems from the beginning of UO, game players will get items like the eBay website to sell, before the Dark. In the Dark 3 also allows you do?

A: This problem was not final present I kind. I can only disclose some of the trading game goods, we look forward to be closer to the Dark 2, instead of "World of Warcraft." I put "World of Warcraft," the economy as "a planned economy." The best equipment can only be defeated by some random monster fell. So if you want the fighting Illidan Blade, only adding to a strong team can beat it.

Dark and economic systems more business, because all of the items are not bound monster, all the random fall. This means that you can not just play the game need to get the equipment. So you will need to deal with other players to get the best equipment. I think Diablo 3 items will be closer to the Dark instead of "World of Warcraft." As is the virtual currency or real money trade, we have not taken into account so much. We certainly prefer games in the transaction, but only now just beginning to consider the issue.

Q: Does the former two works are the things you want to learn?

A: Many, such as the blood system. Diablo 2 may be in your blood regularly to the city and inventories which are filled with the blood of Pharmacy. 3 in the Dark, monster blood fall dose likely to be substantially higher, players do not always back on the town.

Q: Diablo 3 there will be PvP? I remember that as long as the Dark in town to leave immediately be killed.

A: Oh, it was a Diablo. I think in the Dark 2 in some areas we do a little bit too much. 1 survival of the fittest in the Dark, a bit like a "Wild West" or "Genesis" of the original; in Diablo 2, PVP has almost become extinct. I think in the Dark 3, and you have to. We often discuss this topic.

Q: Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 have a piece of information, whether or not Diablo 3 will be the case?

A: This can only imagine, I mean, now it is too early to consider such issues. But if the game really well, I'm sure we will be putting the information on the film.

Q: We are at BlizzCon played in the final version will be released try it?

A: BlizzCon is the only place where it will appear, perhaps in the future there will be a similar demonstration, but we will not put it online or any other local publication. Again in the future point in time there will certainly be a beta test.
