All Access Preview: Diablo III gameplay and discussion of abilities auto assignment

Here is a new video from x-play that shows some new gameplay footage, and a interview with Jay Wilson.

Highlights:

  • How close is it to completion? Core systems are designed but some big game play announcements are coming.
  • Group composition isn’t that important. Every class is a dps class.
  • New leveling system. Talk about controversial auto assignment of skills and abilities. They didn’t like how Diablo II had a “right answer” for a skill path.
  • Runes allow you to completely change a skill. Runes and loot are what allow you to customize your character.
  • Everyone gets their own loot drops. This stops people from fighting over loot.
