[[Jay Wilson]] has pointed out that the Shrines in Diablo II were not very well implemented, since their bonuses were not relevant to the levels they were found on (lightning resistance shrines on levels without any monsters that used lightning attacks, for instance), and most of the bonuses weren't very useful or fun. Everyone loved Experience shrines, and Monster shrines were fun, but the rest were pretty much ignored, or of not special importance.
::Question: Will there be shrines in Diablo 3?<br>
::Jay Wilson: We have not decided about it. We have ideas for shrines. The things is that only two shrines were actually interesting to the player: Experience Shrines and Monster Shrines. Other shrines where like “nah”. We want to bring some system in with this functionality. This is where the combo exp bonus comes from. It’s not replacing shrines, but it’s playing in to it.
