网友：

　　在[暗黑3]里面，我们是否还能看到只能由某个特定角色角色才能使用的武器吗？

　　We don’t want to bias the drop system into only giving you items you want or can use, it would be a trading and economic killer. We want to encourage trading and encourage people to see worth in items even if they can’t use them - give them to friends, use them for other characters, sell them, trade them, etc.

　　我们不想把掉落系统做成倾向于掉落你想要的或者能用的物品，这种情况无疑干掉了游戏中的交易和经济体制。我们希望去鼓励玩家之间的交易和区发现这一物品的价值，即使那个物品他们不能使用。你可以把它给你的朋友，给另外一个游戏角色使用，卖掉他们或者和其他玩家交换等等。

　　Along those lines but somewhat off-topic we do now have some restrictions on weapon types usable by each class. It’s been part of the game for a while now. Allowing every class to use every weapon type was actually going to require a huge amount of time and effort and it would have meant cutting out or cutting into other features. We evaluated really how often people would want to have their class holding a weapon type that (traditionally) contradicted their class-style versus that work going in to other features - specifically having a lot more skills and a lot more skill-rune effects. We made the obvious choice which is making sure there are a ton of awesome skills and rune effects to choose from.

　　现在来说，我们对于每种职业能用的武器类型有一定的限定。这个机制暂时来说还存在在游戏中。允许每一个角色都可以使用所有的武器类型事实上是需要大量的时间和精力，而且这还意味着削减了角色间的独特性。我们估计了实际上玩家是希望自己的角色能使用(传统上)不符合自己角色的装备,或者还是有别的东西----特别是能拥有更多的技能和技能符文效果。我们做出了选择，那就是确保游戏中将有数以吨计的绚烂技能和符文效果来给玩家从中选择。

　　Because I can see the conclusions being jumped to RIGHT NOW in my old cranium - let me state that weapon types do not dictate stats. At least not wholly (barbarians can’t use staves so there’s no point in allowing fury related stats on them). We understand that the game is about variation, customization, and experimentation in class builds. We’re not World of Warcraft, we’re not looking to make weapon stats “optimal” for the types and classes that will use them. Which is to say, we’re not going to put specific stats in specific amounts on each weapon of a specific type because we’re making assumptions about what each class wants out of their stats. We want variation, and experimentation, and all that good stuff. These restrictions don’t affect those goals, it really just means you probably won’t see a wizard lugging around a two-handed axe. Kind of a bummer, but then think about what it affords us to work on with more and better looking skills, a more robust rune-skill system, etc. We want to spend our time and effort on what makes sense to making the game better.

　　得益于我的经验，关于这方面的结论已经浮现在我的脑海中了——让我来说说吧：武器的类型不会影响玩家角色的具体数值。至少不会完全决定（野蛮人不能使用杖,所以没必要在杖上加上跟狂暴技能有关的属性）.我们知道这个游戏就是让你根据情况去改变、定义你的角色，去尝试更多的游戏方式。我们不是在重新做一个类似WOW类的游戏，我们不会让武器只会针对某一角色，或是使得该角色的优势更上一层。这就是说,我们不会在特定类型的武器上加上特定数量的特定属性,因为我们想知道玩家除了人物属性的强悍以外还想要什么？我们需要去改变或者尝试一些新的东西，而武器类型的这方面约束并不会影响到我们的追求。武器的限定，只是意味着你不会看到一个瘦小的巫师扛着一个巨大的双手斧的情况出现而已。听上去有点让人不爽，但是认真想想，到底是什么促使我们去追求视觉效果更好的技能，更完善的符文系统以及等等之类的事情。我们希望将我们的时间和精力花费在使得游戏更加有意思的事情上。
