Eve of the Apocalypse: Twilight

From datamining Diablo 3 files:

Game Types
•Cooperative
•Diablo III
•DotA
•Arena
•Team Deathmatch

I haven't heard anything about custom shit for d3, but its not impossible.

i cant see how they would incorporate custom shit into d3 the way it was done in wc and sc. what that probably is, is game modes. unlike in d2 where you just join a game and play the same thing over and over again, they might have different objectives. like dota, make a team or join a team, then your team goes up against another team in lanes with spawning enemys and defences and what not. arena would be like wow with the battlegrounds there, team vs team pvp style with respawning but overall objective of winning. team deathmatch would probably be like wow arena, you die its done for that match.

There's really no reason they couldn't open the engine for custom shit. I'd kind of rather develop in d3, I'm sure ther'es a ton more models to work with.

Guarantee making skills though would be as hard or harder than for sc2, unless they actually pull out something reasonable this time.

I dont think they will make D3 modable.

1) You cant mod the game offline because half of the game files are on the battle.net servers.
2) You cant publish your mod without there being interface support to browse mods and stuff and I doubt Blizz is going to add such a thing. Creating the modtools would also eat up development time.
3) Until now they always said that D3 will have absolute zero modding support.


And why do they have to add DotA to all their games?
Will Valve add DotA maps to TF2 in the future ?
Why do they keep calling it DotA when they so foolishly lost all rights of the name?

Yea it's actually pretty odd. At this point its free advertising for a competitor.

complete lack of creativity, they should call it AoS mode if thats what they are gona do, but they probably dont even know wtf that means. derp derp derp.
