Show me where you can trademark a word, go ahead I will wait. You are just are just nitpicking. The word they use is meaningless it is what the item is gonna do is what is important.

From what I can tell, Diablo tricked a lot of you. The lord of terror, only has one basic effect. Since there is only one half-blood legacy from both angelic and demonic versions of factions from that TIME, There part, and a few other star helm are not a part of the story until much later. Lets not forget how the arch demons work.
These are equipment types that are so tough that they can not be removed, and they are the only thing that hold off the weaker version of lesser angelic gear, that is just a basic. When the real thing hits the ground, it gets dropped. There are simply not enough arch demons to prevent angelic equipment from being used to rule over various thrones across the west.
Tyraels Might (Hardest item to find in the whole game you have a 1/9 chance to either roll this baby or a templar’s might instead while identifying it)

(probably the best crown for any melee char with 2 Open Sockets and 2x Ber runes in it and also one of the hardest items to find in the game)

Those are the real uniques.
Bonus Runeword:
Doom (probably the coolest ice build weapon runeword in the game)
http://www.diablo22.com/bmz_cache/8/8a053e86137b0f65f68925770333d171.image.392x423.gifI already explained why the name “unique” was adequate for D2. Only one unique item with the same name could drop per game, while you could get multiple set items with the same name.
I also explained why the name “unique” wasn’t so adequate for D2… because the truly unique items were actually the rare ones. If I have my “unique” Shako and I see another person with his “unique” Shako, the item actually is not that unique.
However, rare (yellow items) were more unique than “uniques”, while “uniques” (golden) were just rare.
The name legendary is fine for both D3 and D4. What’s the problem with it?
I’m sorry, but I’m starting to think, that some people are getting PTSD flashbacks just by hearing or reading the word “legendary”…
for many, less unneeded complexity is prefered in an aRPG.
-action, lore and immersion is enough, the rest is ballast.
Unique Gears is one of the coolest concepts in Diablo. Thats what I gotta say. It could be expanded to exclusivity and vip kind of design. Basically “one above the rest” kind of stuff, if you know what I mean. Celebrities. Photomode. Ladder is basically already part of that design already, whos on top, must feel Unique. Music Rewards. UI rewards etc.
I hope someone carries the concept if Blizzard isnt up to it. Someone should make “Unique Game” I got all hyped up.
1 year man. Meh. Guess no harm but subject faded into obscurity already. As far as we know Unique items are there, above Legendaries but only can be traded once instead of three times. It’s promised a few months later of D4’s release.
Monetization?
Can apply in my opinion. I mean, why not? Instead of paying to get some fresh UI, cursor, cosmetics or music content, one can really work hard to climb top of leaderboards to get free gifts.
Thats cool if unique gears are there.
But I see much beyond that. Even “unique design” for entire game series.
You’re talking about balance. I honestly don’t think that’s the point of this discussion.
They should go back from elite monsters to D1 unique monsters too.
Trash/elites division is bad. I want all monsters to matter. But some of them must be special like in D1.

Well, named equipment is all translated in the same font, to identify it as class based. The different maps, from a Doppler radar study of the ocean floor, reveal unlimited resources. It could have tanked an economy.
So, unique names are built up like an account. I do not think of them like a pet. It shows what backed the equipment design at the time. Equipment deals with the same stars, and is transformed into an image that fits those worlds. Even if you know about where to look, trying to tie together all the ideas into some universal theory seems about as pointless as a magical energy field holding everything together.
