Bashiok on Item Drops and Maphack - hellforge

Bashiok has once again posted on the official Diablo 3 boards, this time regarding item drops and pressing alt, as well as a pretty funny response to a Maphack question:

Shoe: I dont know if its already been talked about, it looks like in the video they changed it but they should make a option in the menu's so the item names appear without holding alt

Bashiok: The way it works now is that when an item drops the name shows for about 5 seconds and then they fade out and disappear. Pressing Alt shows all dropped item names for again about 5 seconds and then the names fade out and disappear.

I actually didn't like it at first, I liked the on/off state of pressing or not pressing Alt, but with the names showing immediately after drop and having a sort of "grace period" after just tapping Alt, it's really grown on me and is a lot more intuitive. It's a lot easier to see what just dropped quickly and decide if you care, and it isn't necessary to constantly hold down Alt while scavenging after a large fight.

I still want to see -nopickup return but I haven't really asked anyone what the possibility of that is. I don't think it would work well with the current system, so options may have to be a possibility.

Rus[Hackteam]VV: this is demand for maphack include in diablo 3. your "fan" may say that this is unfair demand, but allow me explain: is steroid cheat? steroid make game of american baseball easier, but is not cheat. therefore, hack is not cheat. this is why hack should be in diablo 3. if you do not give into demands russia hackteam at nikolai bulganin internet cafe in moscow will boycot all future product. is this understood? i hope is so. russia hackteam is most popular e-sport fight club in russia and have major sway over computer gamer fan.

Bashiok: Oh good I was hoping you would come back, the idea seemed underutilized a month or two ago. I lold.
