In a feature that looks to mimic the armory from WoW, Diablo 3 will gain a similar tool shortly after launch. It’s unknown at this point if it will include statistics such as monsters slain versus bosses slain (official blog only states “foes slain”), cumulative gold earned, gold spent, items bought and so on.
It’s also interesting that they have decided to make ones /played time information publicly available. I am sure some people won’t be comfortable with that idea for numerous reasons.
Shortly after the launch of Diablo III, we’ll be adding a new feature to our official site. Profiles will let you review all of your character information at a glance, share it with others, and check out the accomplishments of the other heroes out there.
You’ll be able to look at your heroes (or your friends’ heroes) from any page on the Diablo III site through our personalized menu. If you’re curious about the exploits of your fellow forum posters, it’ll be a simple matter to click over to their profiles and feel envious of their gear or how long they’ve managed to keep their Hardcore characters alive.
Our first profiles release will include these two elements:
- A career tab that displays all of your heroes, how far you’ve progressed in the Diablo III campaign, how many foes you’ve slain, the names and playtimes of your fallen Hardcore heroes, and more.
- A heroes tab that shows off your equipment (including dyes, socketed gems, all equipment bonuses, etc.), your attributes and skills, the skills and equipment of your Followers, and more.
We’re planning to add tabs that’ll show off your artisans and achievements as well. Profiles will be available on the site sooner rather than later, but you should feel free to share your suggestions and thoughts in the comments section below or in the Website Features forum.
We’ve also been hard at work on a ton of other website content, available to help you sharpen your knowledge and prepare to face the forthcoming onslaught. On Monday, May 14, you’ll be able to browse an updated Items section, which will include Legendary and Set items, as well as some specific hand-crafted items. In addition, you can:
- Watch the new gameplay overview video – What Is Diablo III?
- Experiment with class builds using the Skill Calculator.
- Discuss the game on the Diablo III Community forums.
- Pre-purchase Diablo III.
There is also a new video titled “What is Diablo III” just in-case you’re new to the series and are clueless as to who and what Diablo is about.

To your point, they’ll need to watch the privacy settings. Internet privacy/security is a hot topic with the the rising popularity of social media. Again, to your point, some people are going to be upset if their total play time is public info.
Even though I was speaking for myself, I’m sure I’m not the only one who doesn’t want people to know how much time I plan to sink into Diablo 3
I totally agree with you – I don’t to give anyone any more ammo.
“WHOA! You’ve player HOW much Diablo 3?!”
