Diablo 3 - Armor Sets Detailed

There were different armor sets of each class in Diablo 3 revealed because these armor sets were found and pictured in the beta client of Diablo 3 itself.

These 23 armor sets aren't included in the beta but in the full game, while in the beta there are only one or two sets for each class. Blizzard wants to save up their content. If you wondered how your class will look like in the early or even in the late game, this is your chance to do so. My opinion is that the Barbarian looks best with his third set, and that's why I'm going to play a male Barbarian when Diablo 3 is released.

Diablo 3 - Auctions with Paypal

Blizzard confirmed the partnership with Paypal so players can buy and sell items using the Paypal service.



There are two different auction houses in Diablo 3 while the first works just as the one in World of Warcraft with in-game gold and auctions. The second one works with real money, as confirmed earlier by Blizzard, meaning players who have found rare items could either use them or sell them for 5$ for example.

Now the partnership with Paypal was revealed so players can buy and sell items using Paypal and their services.These are good news due to the security brought by Paypal. The Diablo 3 real money auction house could have been abused but now fraud is prevented.
