On Diablo 2’s 18th anniversary, Blizzard North’s designers recount the triumphs and pitfalls of growing the game’s skill trees.

In the mid-1990s, computer role-playing games were not easy to play. Their beginnings were mired in rolling virtual dice to set dozens of character attributes, their interfaces cluttered screens with buttons and icons and text. Worse, gameplay plodded along, making even best-sellers like publisher SSI’s vaunted Gold Box series of Dungeons & Dragons-licensed titles appealing only to players who spent their free time agonizing over every roll of a d20.

This an excerpt from Stay Awhile and Listen: Book II, now on Kickstarter, which chronicles the making of StarCraft and Diablo 2, and explores the culture of Blizzard Entertainment and Blizzard North from 1997 through 2003. The first book was published in 2013 and is available in paperback and on Kindle.

Throughout the development of the original Diablo, Blizzard North’s team followed one rule. Their game had to be simple. So simple a new player could sit down and learn how to play in minutes, if not seconds. Although the game went through numerous changes—from turn-based to real time, from single-player to support for up to four adventurers over Battle.net — its singular focus remained unchanged from the project’s origins in 1995.

I made this Conjuration Skill line because I don’t feel that the pet mechanic should be limited to the Sorcerer, Warden and Necromancer classes. These (Conjuration-lite) spells may not yet canonically exist in the universe during the time of ESO, but I want to explore the viability for a skill line like this. Also, should you want a fluff reason, there are daedra, vampires, dragons and Nirn knows what else dropping from the sky; surely some unwitting mage has attempted to bind one to their services.

The actual summoning mechanic was something I observed from Skyrim; coding wise, the game, and its’ near infinite remakes, regarded Summon spells as a type of Buff. With that in mind, I propose that this skill line is more along the lines of buffing than summoning a permanent pet; that will remain as the ‘uber-level’ skill that stays with the class skills. This will save space on a player’s hotbar and provide a weakness to this skill; like any buff, it can be dispelled by Negate Magic and similar effects, can be timed out and the Familiars are particularly weak against the Fighter’s Guild Skills.

With that out of the way, Let me know what you guys think in the comments below, like how to improve them in regards to balance, what to scrap, etc.
