Yeah, I suspect getting perfect gear will be bad enough. Adding runes to the mess would've just been another layer of frustration. Current system allows for a wide variety of skill variance, but I'm afraid some are useless/inferior right out of the gate just by design.

theres no code, its just added to your bnet account

From Blizz, I know, I have mine. I would be afraid if fan sites could act upon my bnet account, though.

[Senji]

There are sites that give out codes.

Blizzard just announced they're cutting 600 jobs. They say it mostly won't affect the dev teams but holy shit, 600 jobs...

[Lucavi]

More profits for the top, baby.

[Senji]

Lot of WoW fat to trim.

D3 will save them boatloads for a few years, Titan hits, and everyone is MMO rejuvenated to pay subs. Genius!

[Rulke]

Here is the jist of the announcement:
http://geeks.thedailywh.at/2012/02/2...fs-of-the-day/

Blizzard Entertainment has announced that it will lay off approximately 600 employees worldwide after “a review of its business based on current organizational needs.”

The company says 90% of the employees being let go aren’t in development-related departments, and the World of Warcraft team was left untouched. The development schedules of Diablo III, Blizzard DOTA, and the next WoW and StarCraft II expansions will also not be affected.

Blizzard is also looking to recruit new developers for a number of positions.

“Over the last several years, we’ve grown our organization tremendously and made large investments in our infrastructure in order to better serve our global community. However, as Blizzard and the industry have evolved we’ve also had to make some difficult decisions in order to address the changing needs of our company,” said CEO Mike Morhaime in a press release.

Although WoW continues to lose subscribers, Activision Blizzard isn’t hurting financially. The company announced record earnings in a call earlier this month.

Still, 600 employees is a significant number, especially considering that the whole of Activision Blizzard only employs 5,000 people worldwide

[arus2001]

Eh, most likely part-timers, testers, and probably in-house artsists. But yeah, WoW still needs to lose a few million before they can really start panicking.

[Syntex]

With the way content is going I know a lotta people who will not be playing come mists. My friend speculates that the expansion will not draw in any new players.

Anyways back on topic, has anyone played with the new talent calculator on the site? I haven't until just now and I hate it, a lot. I know someone was bitching about it a page or 2 back but I don't see why they just made it so much worse for what looks like no reason. I will give them some feedback next time I play the beta that its dumb and at least have the option to put it back to the old way in the settings menu. This is all assuming the way it's on Diablo3.com is the same as it's in game.

Blarg...

This game needs to come outtttttttt.

Also something else I wanted to ask. Has anyone seen anything stat wise that is carrying over from d2 as far as FCR FBR FHR because so far all I've seen is leech.

Actual boosts aren't listed, obviously, but I'd say the pools strongly resemble D2s.

[Ratatapa]

Wouldn't mind to try the beta but would need a Mac beta version

[Clash Perez]

With the way content is going I know a lotta people who will not be playing come mists. My friend speculates that the expansion will not draw in any new players.

Bit of an overstatement. I personally started playing WoW only after they announced Panderan Brewmasters. The Brewmaster was awesome in WC3; He was definitely my favorite merc hero. FFXI going back into BARANSU mode helped.

I wish they'd give dates for Diablo 3 and Mists. I'm looking forward to both of them quite a bit.

Agreed, huge overstatement. I know more people coming back or starting the game specifically for mists than are quitting due to mists/cata. People just didn't like cata, but they LOVED tbc and liked wrath. Friends that don't play at all are more interested in Pandas then spacegoats and goblins. Everyone whos played RPG's or has been gaming a while is aware of Monks, regardless of how they are designed in the game, and everyone wants to try them and play them. Monks and H2H classes are attractive no matter what game you are playing.

That along with WoW's subscriber losses slowing down, Mists may end up being a sort of resurrection xpac. You have to remember they put a lot of work and time into redesigning Azeroth, they basically remade the game. It was a lot more work than Outlands and Northrend. Obviously other areas are going to suffer, and it just happened to be content and enjoyment. Mists is getting back to their old Expansion flow and ideals, it should be a great expansion. And blizzard is going to have to lose a lot more than 1-2 mil subscribers to worry, they are going to need to lose 9-9.5millions subs before WoW will be in any real trouble. How many MMO's are out there that survive for years with only a 300-500k subscriber base? Hundreds.

[miokomioko]

If I played, I would have quit upon hearing about martial arts pandas.

[arus2001]

If I played, I would have quit upon hearing about martial arts pandas.

I want to say I feel similar, but Warcraft's tonge-in-cheek interpretation of fantasy had always been a bit of a turn off for me.

[Boyiee]

If I played, I would have quit upon hearing about martial arts pandas.

But Galka's and Taru's did it for you? Cat people but not Bears?

[Dantrag]

Pandarans are fucking awesome.

[Syntex]

Played monk up to 9. I have a feeling that this class is going to get its ass beat when things get harder.

I played barbarian up to 9 as well but I never had my health dip as much as monk does. Seems like monk is just a squishier barbarian.

[Sonomaa]

blizzard employes close to 5000 people, laying off 600 of the support staff and extra artists (which every company has in spades) isnt really a big thing. this is blizzard, the layoffs I seriously doubt were because of money but probably because they had a bit of a change in their mentality. wow panda internal beta just started, cata internal beta started and the game didnt ship for 9 months. StarCraft 2 is lacking a serious amount of polish on its bnet2.0 interface, BlizzardDota is an angry response to valve making Dota2, and diablo 3 has been revised so damn much its not even at all close to the original beta form.
you trim the fat, make the meat leaner, have everyone buckle down and do their jobs. They gave them what Im sure amounts to fantastic severance packages and glowing letters of recommendation which will get them any job in the industry. And still, Im betting they were almost all artists. Square Enix has more than 50% of its workforce as artists, the bulk of which never EVER have their work used in a game, they simply keep them because they want to retain their portfolio for something. Blizzard was probably part of the same and I know they took on the bulk of the artists and writers for the company that last did their trading card game. Im not worried about them in the slightest, they still have 10 million+ subs in wow and steady as hell sales on starcraft 2. When pandas does finally launch they will get at least a million subs back, even more if pandas is that much better than cata.

[Lordender]

So april 17th is the new rumored release date, we'll see, not believing it just yet.

[Arkanna]

The only way that'll end up true is if they are prepared to make the announcement Monday as is also rumored. Like you said, we'll see.
