Well there is meant to be "new feature" being revealed tomorrow at Gamescon but no info on what it is or how big a thing it will be.

But Bashiok did say this is the beginning of the information ramp towards release.

All the coverage is here, including the blue posts from Bashiok.

They have revealed that you will have a caravan following you throughout Sanctuary which will be made up of a blacksmith, mystic and jeweller.

They have revealed that items will be able to be "salvaged" and you then give these salvaged parts to the artisans for them to craft items for you.
Essentially what you will find in a quest is a "Horadric trash compactor" to aid you in making higher level items.

Artisans will be featured in major storyline quests.

Health system changed

Quote:

According to an update at the official Diablo 3 homepage, Blizzard has made some pretty significant changes to the health system of the game. While adventurers can still buy health potions, the meat and potatoes of regenerating health will be based around a new health globe system.
Potions and skills offer excellent boosts to your health, but to survive multiple battles, you'll need to use them alongside a more reliable, renewable means of recovery.
That's where health globes -- floating, crimson spheres that rise from the corpses of your defeated foes -- come in. These globes are the core means of regenerating your health in Diablo III, and all other methods of healing support them. When you pick up a health globe, your health (and the health of any allies in your party) is restored by a fixed percentage depending on the type of globe you've grabbed.

Potions will now have a cooldown timer attached to them according to the update, thus eliminating the potion click fest minigame seen in previous Diablo games.

Sounds like they're making it easier to play on a.. hmm I don't know, 360 pad.

It's a better alternative than constantly chugging pots. IMO they should've got rid of pots all together, make it more about thinking if you really want to take on a mob to regain health.

They are retardedly slow. Going to have to wait another 2-3 years I reckon.

I see the Globe system for health speeding up game play

I just hope its not going to make it similar to the regen health in something like RDR (making health "potions" a joke)

Well the globe system was announced yonks ago.. the only difference is that they're now allowing pots again.. which will now slow the game down a little. I don't really mind either way... i'm sure playing without pots will be the 'cool' way to play the game.
