i remember hearing about kill streaks and seeing them in a video leaked shortly after blizzcon, i was just wondering what the official word on them was?
There isn't a terrible amount of information out on Kill Streaks. The idea is that by killing enemies one after another, at certain points you'll receive exp bonuses. If this accounts long-term kill streaks, or quick time limited kill streaks I'm not certain enough to mention on..

hm this is interesting, so you kill a bunch of enemies you get this bonus that will disappear after not killing enemies for a while? This is the first time I'm hearing about this.
I don't remember hearing about damage boosts.. Well expect for the Monk with combos, but that's about it as far as I know. I'm pretty sure the concept is limited to exp, damage boosts wouldn't make much sense to me. Even if you balanced it so you couldn't work up to one-hitting a boss or something ridiculous, the concept of kill streak damage boosts sounds quirky, and unnecessary. I feel exp rewards will be enough to drive players forward. Keep in mind we'll likely be hitting max level by the end of Hell, so it's not like these exp boosts will be valuable to exploit. I think they'd be in place just to give the players another reason to stay in the battle.

Yeah I hope they toe the balance between having them do enough to be a fun thing to do while lvling, but not be so important that I feel pressured to maintain them 100% of the time.
As others have said, given we'll be maxing out our level by the end of hell, it won't make too much of a difference. A nice touch to encourage quick killing, but nothing more.

While we are at it lets change the name of the game to Call of Diablo, and also add some perks in the game, like for example, fire turret or a freakin missle rocket.

Obvious troll is obvious
Belive it or not that was not ment to troll, i was being honest.
The term "kill streak" was simply one made up by the OP. It's a small XP bonus for killing players quickly. From what I remember in COD, you didn't get any extra experience for killing players quickly. The term "kill streak" referred to getting tangible rewards which boosted your ability for killing a predetermined number of enemies.

I think its only for PvE because your not going to kill 4 other players with in 10 seconds or something like that
