Would there even be a point of open world in d3?

Open world as in travel all acts in 1 game? Nothing except ppl can exploit neph valor and stack in a1 and farm in a3. No smart farmer will do a1 2 or 4 when they can easily do a3 anyways. It's simply not efficient as repeatedly doing a3 even if u have to start neph valor again.

only from a social and wow style pvp server standpoint... would break up the monotany of doin the same dumb shit over and over and over and over... so guess my answer is Yes. now make me a sammich.

Then, just remake diff act after you do one act if it's not efficiency you are looking for when farming.

u assumed he meant a normal d2 style travel between acts... i assumed an open world with everyone in it running around being crazy... I WENT WILD WITH IT SON... but seriously i almost wish diablo 3 was like wow... with just diablo story/theme

that would be fun in the crystal arch or the heart of sin
nice places for duel

same, but then they will prob make us pay monthly. D3 is open world, just not mmo and world is microscopic compared to mmo like wow.

Do you know what you are asking for with "open world"?
That will completely kill the game play and game style.

All diablo series is instance games. (Might have randomization but everything is set from monsters to layout as soon as you make the game)

Open world means we will have xxxx players able to be in the same spot at the same time.
Monsters will be respawning within the same spot after xx time.

I'd love to see an open world chat room.

Open in D2 was run by Hero Editor and characters couldnt play on closed realm. You cant use editor on closed chars as they are kept on the server.
Hope this is helpful.. Pehaps i missed the point. WTF Knows.. Peace.
Tho.. Chat was cool.
