Changes

There is only one shrine Not many shrines have been seen used so far and it was seen in they have ll been from the [[GamesCom 2009 demo|GamesCom]]/[[BlizzCon 2009|BlizzCon]]/PAX demos. They seem to be placed out in given locations on the static land mass map, which gave always appearing in the same location, and always appearing. The type of buff will vary though. An interesting difference between the Diablo I and Diablo II shrines is that the character ''restores'' the shrine rather than destroying/consuming it. In return, it grants a short-time buff of some sort. They are all called "Fortune'''Desecrated Shrine'''" bonus sayingbefore they are restored. Below is a list of known shrines, sorted by name of the [[buff]] they give and the quote you see when activating them:: * '''Fortune'''** Unknown quote** Your chance to find magic items and gold is greatly increased."It lasts ** Lasts for 60 seconds from activation.* '''Unknown Shrine'''** ''Shrine Restored. You feel Blessed.''** Unknown buff text.* '''Unknown Shrine'''** ''Shrine Restored. You Feel Ready For Battle.''** Unknown buff text.

::'''Jay Wilson:''' Well there are some aspects of shrines that we liked, experience shrines I think are probably the prime example everyone uses. They're fun because they drive the player forward. Monster shrines are sometimes fun because they bring out a rare that you didn’t know or weren’t weren't expecting that could come from any direction and that’s that's cool. But for the most part, the pure mechanic of shrines, a random powerup that just appears in the world for no reason, we don’t don't really want to litteraly literally bring that back. What we are going to try to do is integrate a lot of the best things of shrines into our quest and event systems so that when you encounter a random quest or random event that has a story context within the game it either rewards you like a shrine would reward you or something that is actually built into the gameplay of the quest. So while technically no shrines are not coming back verbatim, we are trying to bring back kind of the best things of them in a different form.
