Diablo 3 will have fundamental changes

Last year, people at Blizzard Entertainment have announced the release of Diablo III  in early 2012. Later, the company’s efforts to obtain necessary approvals from the South Korean Commission Rating made us belive that Diablo III would be almost ready, so the game finally received the green light from the Korean authorities. Yet, just when expected news about an imminent release date, Blizzard changed gears again.

Thus, in a post appeared on the official site, Jay Wilson, Diablo III director, announced the implementation of design changes to the game, noting that they prefer to postpone the launch again instead of  publishing something hastened and unfinished. And, as the title says, these changes are not simple bug fixes, but fundamental changes to game mechanics behind Diablo III.

To begin with, identify scroll sites are no longer included in the game. Unidentified objects and identification process remains implemented in the game , but this process is no longer done through these sites. Ability to identify native objects will now be collected for each character in the game, being able to identify single weapons, armor etc.. they are identified in their adventure (action will be performed through a right click on the item concerned and will take several seconds,depending on the item identified).

Another major change is the removal of game objects, Nephalem Cube and Cauldron of Jordan. They were dedicated to smooth the gameplay, often eliminating the need to travel to town to sell items acquired or to make necessary process for crafting the items. Well,  people at Blizzard have changed their minds about them, considering that frequent visits to the city are integral part of the old gameplay of Diablo series.

Also, given the need to visit more often cities, Stone of Recall was also removed from the game, being replaced by the classic Town Portal, which can be accessed directly from the interface at the bottom of the screen.

All these changes will be applied as soon as possible via updates for the current beta. The team at Blizzard planned in addition to supplementary small changes also  massive change modes of operation of other components of the game, such as skill systems runes. These will be announced soon.

So, those who hoped that they will be able to play Diablo III  soon will be again disappointed. Blizzard Entertainment is determined to keep the game in production for a long time in order  to be sure that Diablo III at the time of publication,  will not dissapoint fans.
