I think if D3 wants to be THE game that it should be, then it needs something really really new. Not that D2 wasn't amazing and fun...but hey lets not just rework something because it was good. I think they should make it a 3rd person view with a SERIOUS combat system...blocks, dodges, momentum, hitboxes, dismembers, charging attacks, thrown items,. I want to be able to fight like a real barabarian leaping around taking heads and ankles...not just mashing one button over and over. Imagine learning new attack moves from a master or fighting a monster so massive it was slicing through the trees you are leaping through. Yes this would change online play alot I think...but hey who doesn't have broadband now...lets push things to the next level. Thats what made Diablo great, it was so different. I think they should do that with D3. I also want to see some massive monsters...like monsters that take 2-3 guys to take out using leaping/flying attacks. Who knows, but definititly it would be really cool to see D3 be the next thing in gaming, not just another Diablo. It would for sure have to have some revolutionary coding and be difficult to do well...but who better than Blizzard. Just my .02 and D3 will be good either way.
Oh yeah and maybe an advancement system to when you hit certain levels you REALLY change. Like a regular barbarian starts out young...then works his way up to a level and gets to be a chief barbarian all big and crazy looking...THEN he eventually can work up to a rediculous killer like Gutz on Berzerk! That would be tight...a sword three times his body....if anyone hasn't seen the Anime berzerk, go get it...even if you dont like Anime its hella good. Oh also, I'd like to start out as a holy fighter and somehow become an Arch Angel flying around with massive wings and massive flamming sword that cuts big flamming arcs when swung :).
yes some good ideas, but Diablo is known most for its reputation for being a click fest.
and yes Berserk is awesome.

Lol ah yes Berzerk, yeah looks like I just saw something from an insider about Blizzard doing Diablo 3 as an MMO like WoW. Something tells me that they have a much larger return on a game with subscription costs, plus uber loyal fans. Still, I'm always disappointed by the quasi-turn based combat systems of MMO's. Takes away the real fun of swinging a sword around and fighting how fighting should be. Oh well, this is turning into a rant. Peace
I would prefer the diablo series stay true to its roots, RPG click fest. sure games like WOW arw popular but it just would be the same. as much as it pains me to do so, burning through mice is something i have come to expect from games like Diablo, and i love it

Yeah, originality always conqueres something new despite what the masses think as 'better.' And on another note, adding to elfen lieds comment, berserk kicks major ass.

Fuck you, I'm a dragon.
