they want to prevent set location farming, so it wont be the same if they do.

Jay Wilson hinted there will be a cow level, you will have to find the entrance.

as for farming, correct mussels - but cow level wasn't a problem. that actually didn't give much gear, it was the baal runs, the meph runs, etc. Blizzard doesn't want a few 3 minute sections to be the only thing you play later in the game, so they made drops from random elite and champion mobs better than anything a boss can drop.

so randomly walking through a level you enjoy gives you a better chance than going after a boss multiple times, which imo makes it much more interesting.

i agree, just that any cow level now, wont be so combat/loot oriented.

Green set: Cow King Leathers

Boots are pretty sweet for a lvl 13.

I am just curious how much wondering around we are going to have to do to find good gear ... maybe find a certain dungeon we can keep visiting to run around in or something like that?

some areas will spawn more monsters, or will be more likely to spawn champions i would imagine. that being said, it won't be until hell that real farming starts.

also, they said they want people to pick whichever area/act/etc they like the best and play that, and then play on when farming, rather than focus on one boss or one room.

well that would be nice to play an area or act I like and get my farm on that way ...

also if they want you play your favorite areas instead of doing baal runs all day, does that mean every act or champion/elite monster or whatever can drop any item in the game? Or will there still be certain areas you have to go to get certain items ...

there may be a few items that only come from certain places - but the vast majority, including the best gear, will drop from anywhere.

I was reading the plot is 20 hour long at best. 15 is the average. If this is true I'm not seeing why this game is 59.99.
