hey guys,

after a long time of not playing, i am now back in diablo. Im currently on USwest Non ladder.

Would very much enjoy playing with some forum buddies. Please feel free to wisper Tss_Echelon

right...... no one with a camera...

forget the randomizer, did you guys even read the posts? i think reading everyones reasons for wanting to go should have decided who gets picked instead of going completely at random.

grats to winners.

if I were givin the chance to attend the blizzard convention I would use the oppertunity to present myself to any and all blizzard employees that willing to sit down and review my portfolio work for I am currently enrolled at the art institute of California San diego for the game art and design program. The chance to get live feed back and cruel yet brutally honest critiques on my work that would significantly improve me work and continue to make me better as an artist would be almost as important as the degree it's self. Blizzard is the best at what they do. I would love to be among the artists that have their names in the credits and artwork and blood sweat and tears in display for the rest of the world.

Check it out..... making enough noise to get yahoo to post about it...

DIABLO III will not require the system's that are required to run Crysis or Call of duty 4 (MW)
calm down you guys, your all getting scared.

Remember.....

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS.

RECOMMENDED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS.

there is a significant difference between the two.

you can also adjust the settings in the game.

Runewords did not offset the balance in diablo, maybe you could not achieve the wealth required to obtain a runeword but it offered a whole new world in PVP which was fun. Every class has their weakness despite out of class spells granted by an item. The rune words played a pivotal role in d2 and im sure they will return to diablo 3. They also assisted in helping characters achieve more in less time when soloing.

thats like saying "guided arrow" was an unfair spell....... or trapping the entrance camp in PvP, there are ways around it. Its all fair.

a lot of people are having questions about their PC's because of the demo of diablo... It wont be like trying to run crysis.... so dont worry about that. a decent computer will run this game, may have to upgrade your cards or get more ram. What you can do if you want to build a gaming rig for cheap is this,

1. Upgrade the Ram and graphics card if you can, remeber PCI express is always the best, and fastest... AGP is ok, but always try for PCI express, figure out if your computer is AGP or PCI express slotted before going to buy a graphics card and getting mad because it wont fit or your computer wont boot right.. And ram, make sure you get the right ram. lots of people get the wrong one.... I dont recommend you open up your computer if you dont have a damn clue what your doing.. bring it to the store with you.


2. Get a bare bones kit and merge it with your current system. Bare bones is just what it means, you buy a bare bones PC, it include,
- Mother board & CPU combo ( recommend Core 2 duo or quad core )
- Ram
- graphics card ( not all the time though )
- processor
- Tower
- power supply

Barebones rarely comes with an operating system so be sure to grab one of those, you can use your same tower if the mother board fits correctly. ( keep in mind this is only for those who are familiar with building a computer or know someone that is good at this stuff ) this is a super cheap way to do it, wont run you more than $700 for a sweet ass rig.

try www.compusa.com, www.frys.com www.newegg.com numerous other sites, just go to www.google.com and type in barebones kit.

3. buy a new PC.... long term investment.. will more than pay for itself.



POST your computer specs if you know them and you need some questions answered, myself or someone else will get back to you as soon as possible.

Happy hunting.

upgrade your card........ the processor is slow but should be o.k. go barebones kit. will save mucho money. PM me for questions.

well... any 6 series graphics card is O..K.... better off buying a new PC, you can build a sweet gaming rig for under 700..... and that includes an 8800 graphics card. you can pick up a 8800 GS for cheap.. and its 3** something mb of ram.

My laptop is,
Alienware M5500
2.4Ghz core 2 duo
1 gig of ram
Geforce 7600 ( 256mb ram ) ( $1500 )


My desktop is,
HP media station.
2.4 ghz core 2 duo
2 gigs of ram soon to be 4 because of maya and 3ds max
Nvidia geforce 8800 GT ( 512 mb )
400gb hard drive ( $800 )



Your lap top cannot upgrade its card, its build into the mother board. Your processor will also have a lot to do with the performance , just like your graphics card. If you can, build a desktop from scratch. Diablo will not have steep requirements... none of the diablos have.
building from scratch will save you mucho money.



check out, www.compusa.com for their bare bone kits..


hope this helped, PM me if you have any more questions.

I have read on some threads that some believe the necromancer may not be in the initial 5 classes due to come with the release of diablo, and that the necro may be replaced by the witch doctor. Possible but unlikely..... Look at the classes, Melee, Caster etc.... all must be fulfilled. here is a quote from the diablo three website, under the skeleton segment,

"Still, this is not to say that a skilled necromancer could not call forth a cadre of skeletal warriors to do his bidding anywhere he chooses. He merely requires less effort to construct a skeleton army in a graveyard than in the middle of a forest."


Should not rule out a necromancer yet, but the witch doctor could be in its place as a class that raises minions. Diablo is still under development and has much more capacity to hold many more classes in the future. i think blizzard is taking the right steps, and the expansion which should be due out in another 5 billion years will yield more classes or they will patch another class or two in. Its going to be an exciting series of events in the future. Keep researching.


As for the art side of it, i too would like a darker diablo 3, but we have only been exposed to so little so far so I'm sure we will not disappointed. "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth"

As dark as the other ones in terms of environments, I'm sure will be proved wrong in the future.

diablo and diablo 2 were very dark... and serious. can tell that World of warcraft has influenced their characters.

i will search high and low for the windforce hydra bow.
