Twelve years is a long time to wait for a

game, but the Diablo faithful have had to

do just that since developer Blizzard

released Diablo II in 2000. Since then

people have leveled and looted for years

and gradually mastered its gameplay

systems. Blizzard too has learned a lot

over the last decade, and has wisely

applied these lessons to the design of

Diablo III.

At its most basic level, Diablo III is still

largely the same game, but with flexible skill

systems that encourage you to constantly

reshape your hero into whatever you need

them to be. In the end, Diablo’s classic, loot-

driven formula where you pick from a few

pre-determined classes and level them up

proves to be incredibly addictive the third

time around.

What is the Diablo® III auction house system?Acquiring epic new gear for your characters has always been

a big part of the Diablo® experience. Because of this,

players found numerous ways to trade and otherwise obtain

items both within and outside of the game. Many of these

methods were inconvenient and either tedious (e.g.

advertising for a desired trade in Battle.net® chat channels

and waiting for responses) or unsafe (e.g. giving credit card

information to third-party trading sites). With Diablo III, we’re

introducing a powerful auction house system that will

provide a safe, fun, and easy-to-use way for players to buy

and sell the loot they find in the game. Two different

versions of the auction house will be available in Diablo III:

one based on in-game gold, which players acquire through

their adventures, and one based on real-world currency.

Some people love Diablo III for its story, and

the third’s narrative is stronger than its

predecessor, but still filled with clichés and

predictable twists. But that doesn’t really

matter all that much, because the story merely

serves as a way to tie together the various

dungeons and quests in your hunt for gear.

Quality voice acting and some truly incredible

cut-scenes between Acts help flesh out the

universe, but past the first playthrough it’s not

really anything worth paying attention to.

Quests Guide

In each of the four acts of Diablo III, as the hero or heroine

you have a special set of tasks to undertake to save the

world of Sanctuary from certain peril, and of course in the

role-playing world these are referred to as quests. Many of

these quests are granted to your adventurer by the non-

player characters of the game, often the townspeople you

encounter, while others you may simply stumble upon as you

work your way through the game.Similarly, some of these

quests play an integral part in the plot and are required to

advance in or between the areas and acts. Others can be

skipped to focus on completing the ultimate goals of the

game, namely slaying the Lord of Terror and his most

formidable minions and allies, but there are trades-off to

skipping them.Quests in Diablo III tend to lean on the

simpler side.

Tips and Tricks

1) Show item stats: CTRL + Mousing over and item on the ground

(outside of inventory) shows stats. (kallell) Doing this while having your

inventory open should compare the item on the ground to what you

currently are wearing as well. (broken1000)

2) Force Move: There is a “force move” (labeled “Move” and is

unbound by default) button that is unbound by default. This is helpful

for running through packs of monsters and not accidentally clicking

and attacking one. (need to manually bind) (kallell)

3) Link Items: You can link items by bringing up the chat text box and

shift+clicking an item, making it easier to show items to people to see

if they need them or if you're in different areas. (twincannon)

4) Inspection: If you think you have an upgrade for someone you're

playing with, instead of asking him you can inspect him by right

clicking his icon on the top-left. (twincannon)
