Blizzard Are Actually Pretty Confident About Diablo III's Reception, Says Jay Wilson

[News Portal]

When Blizzard community manager Bashiok posted to say jokingly that people should "stop thinking about how awesome" [app=4089]Diablo III[/app] was going to be so that it would be easier for him to manage their expectations, he probably wasn't thinking it would make headlines. It did, though, and now Game Director Jay Wilson has stepped in to clarify.

Haha someone must've got a serve for that. You community managers should know better than to be sarcastic.

I find it saddening that this even needed to be said.

^ this everything they do to it in beta atm is making it far worse they need to stop trying to cram accessibility into the game and release it before it ends badly

The beta is actually better each patch.

Because clicking the LMB constantly in Diablo 1 and 2 was so **** hardcore and non-casual.

I'm referring more to the latest addition of how skills are equipped i.e click the location of the button you want the skill to go to, after enabling an option in the settings to allow you do assign skills where you want them as opposed to their pre-set groups then flick thru the different sets of skills to get to the one you want and then assign it to the location.

Where as before it was open up skill menu drag and drop onto button close skill menu.

I'm not really sure what you mean by your post tho ?

I was referring to the constant series of complaints that Diablo 3 is being 'dumbed down' being 'made into a console game' and being 'casualised'. Made more accessible is usually a part of that argument.

But Diablo is about the most accessible, casual, and console-friendly AAA franchise in existence. That's what's made it so popular, and indeed, one big reason why I love it.

So bring on accessibility. I don't wanna think while I play it.

yea nah that's not what I was going for in my post haha.
you could replace left and right click with left and right trigger with ease in fact I normally do (using my 360 controller).

I see no reason why they wouldn't port it at some stage makes sense to me.

My complaint is the things they are doing that confuse me not major issues at all, having said that if I don't see some rainbows I will be a sad panda
