Blizzard Seeks Player Feedback on Magic Find

Diablo III

Blizzard has issued a public call for feedback with regards to a practice in Diablo III they have noted, where players will swap in a set of gear, hand-picked to increase their ‘Magic Find’ statistic, at the last moments of battle – in order to increase their chances of nabbing some phat loot. As they say, Blizzard themselves aren’t too worried about it, but they are concerned that some players are using the exploit simply because the benefit is too large to ignore. As such, they have outlined a few options that they think would work best, along with some pros and cons, and want you to tell them which you like most.

Thats quite impressive, not only presenting a series of well thought out solutions to the public, but letting them decide.

 

I think changing your entire gear set in the last 20 seconds is bad game design and gear should be locked but weapons when in combat?

 

Incoming “hotfix” ?
