Where will you be streaming?

He continued: Diablo I and Diablo II are darker, and I think that the one of the main reasons why is the fact that in Diablo I, you're basically in a dungeon the whole time.

If you play the game without rushing, you will be spending a lot of the time in the outdoors. Just think about Act II and III.

I do understand the rationale behind this decision--to make some areas look "normal" so they contrast to the really dark ones--but I just don't think it was necessary: we already know what the real world looks like!

As World of Warcraft (the MMO Warcraft) wasnt Warcraft 4 (part of the RTS series), so a Diablo MMO cant be Diablo 3 (a part of the RPG/Hack & Slash series).

You have a very good point there, FingolfinGR.

Any Blizzard game never really made you upgrade a video card, at least Diablo franchise didn't. Unless you have a completely crappy computer that should already be upgraded, then you will be able to play Diablo III No problem.

You have a very good point there...

What I mean is that I don't want Diablo 3 to be WoW in the Diablo world. What I enjoy about Diablo 2 is that I can sit down and play 1 hour, tp to town and leave the game and I won't feel like I have missed *the* opportunity of completing that quest. One thing I like about WoW and the other Diablos is how I can plan my char build and how items play a large part of the game.

What I want from Diablo 3 is a Diablo 2 with exciting new functionalities, support for guilds and auctions, more viable builds, more skills and items, all that with an updated engine without requiring me to buy a brand new computer.

I'm not really into maxing revive. I think there will be too many summons if I do so. I will still have a few points to spend with the building below.

Summoning Spells
20 Raise Skeleton
20 Skeleton Mastery
20 Clay Golem
20 Golem Mastery
1 Skeletal Mage (prereq.)
1 Summon Resist
1 Revive

Curses
1 Amplify Damage

Poison and Bone Spells
1 Teeth (prereq.)
20 Corpse Explosion

Total: 105

What do you think?

Ok guys, here I got a build down. Please let me know how viable this will be.

Summoner Necromancer

20 Raise Skeleton
20 Skeleton Mastery
15 Clay Golem
15 Golem Mastery
1 Summon Resist
1 Revive
10 Curses (one on each)
20 Corpse Explosion
4 Prerequisites

Total: 106

If Diablo 3 is a MMORPG, I will not purchase it.
If Diablo 3 has a monthly fee, I will not purchase it.
If Diablo 3 requires me to buy a new video card, I will not purchase it.
If Diablo 3 is highly time-comsuming and does not give me instant satisfaction like its predecessors, I will not purchase it.

The list goes on...

Personally bash.

Are you serious? If so, care to share your build?

Thanks for the replies guys.

What would be an effective combat skill to focus on for a sword barbarian?

Hi,

My friend and I are planning to play a little bit of Diablo every week, after a 2-year break.

He has always been a sword & shield paladin and my main was a fire/cold sorceress.
I would like to try to get to higher levels another class than the sorceress and I am between a necromancer (summoner, the skeletons would take advantage of my friend’s aura) and a sword, battle cry barbarian.

What do you think would be the best combination?

I don't mind having only 1 or 2 new classes, but I really want more spells and more items!

I want a 2D isometric viewpoint, just like Diablo I and II. 3D graphics are acceptable, but they need to work a lot not so that it's not "blocky".
