So you’re adventuring, and a monster kills you - bummer, you’re on the ground and waiting to resurrect - and that monster is going to level up, and a portal is going to appear, and he’s going to jump in the portal and disappear. But sometimes you’ve got to give a little bit of love back to the monsters, because you know, they’re the ones getting murdered - they’re getting killed by these players. Now most things are just like “hey, we’re connected, whatever, blah, blah, blah” Avenger Kills are where it’s at! Our game director Josh Mosqueira love to say “Love the player”, that’s his big philosophy in life, love the player - it’s a good philosophy when you’re making videogames. So I have a level 10 character, and I have a level 70 character I’m not really playing with my level 10 barbarian right now, but I am playing with my level 70 demon hunter and going through my paragon levels, so I’m going to open it with that one, and I’m going to get a level 70 rare or legendary item that is going to be tailor-made for my demon hunter. So you’re going to take it and you’re going to send it to me, and I can open it with anyone of my characters, and it’s going to give me an item that is level-appropriate and tailored to that class. There’s going to be a little box on the ground, and it’s going to say “Gift for Matthew”, because you and I are friends, and I’m on your friends list. Player Gifts is this neat little feature where you’re adventuring in Sanctuary, you kill a monster and an item drops: a legendary drops for instance, and there’s a column of light with a little sound, and you’re, like, “ooh, legendary!” and before you’re able to pick it up, another item is going to jump off that legendary and drop on the ground. Player Mail is very simple: there’s a mailbox in town, you go there, you’ve found a cool item and you mail it to me I get it, I’m happy awesome - it’s very basic. Our version of that is: we want you to feel like you’re part of a greater community when you’re playing the game, even if your friends are not necessarily playing with you at the same time. You can see the new consoles are very much embracing that. We added a new one, to share your adventures, and what’s social is very much in the air these days. Those were our guiding pillars for the original console version of the game. We have this philosophy on the original, and you and I talked about this (at Gamescom), where we wanted it to be ‘one couch to rule them all’ we wanted it to be tailor-made for console and pick-up-and-play.
