just a quick idea,what about crafting gems and jewels? an example:1 chipped gem+1 perfect gem=a crafted gem with attributes from both...like lets say it was a chipped amethyst and perfect emerald...it would have random attributes from the gems you combine...for instance the mixed gem could have both +3 strength and 100 poison dmg or the % of attack rating and poison resist.
also it would be cool to be able to have other types of items to put in sockets...maybe something like teeth,horns,bones,eyeballs,maybe even character ears.
i just hope crafting returns in d3 in general.
im thinking graphics similar to a game i mentioned in another topic,champions:return to arms...its for the ps2 and the graphics are about the same as diablo 2 just a bit cleaner(less pixelated)
check out some screen shots on the web and see what im talkin about and tell me what you think.
in my opinion...i imagine a theif to be much like an assasin,maybe give the assasin theif skills...but i think that there should only be one character type with theif skills otherwise everyone will be trying to steal stuff from eachother...also if theives are to be in d3 i think there should be some way for other players to know that the person is capable of stealing or has stolen something...maybe have the player name a different color like how hardcore chars are red or make it so you can only steal from hostiles.
there is only five things that i would like in d3,
1:maybe 2 or 3 new characters alongside the old ones
2:more bosses or sub bosses to kill
3:the ability to exceed high character lvls...maybe go as high as lvl 120...that would be sick imo
4:more weapons,armor,potions,gems,runes,quest items...aswell as all the old ones
5:i would like more classes with the ability to use dual weapons...not just the barb and assasin...it would be awesome if each character could dual atleast one weapon type.
if it ends up as a pay to play,it would destroy diablo and the sales would dive into a deep grave...im sure people would still buy it but it wont be as big as d2.
but to the topic,i really would like to see diablo stay with similar graphics...maybe touch it up a bit to seem newer but i dont think it should change that much...i still play d2 and im still not bored with it.
as long as its not cartoony or too realistic im good.lol i dont want graphics that make my pc have brain farts...it would be nice not to have to upgrade my pc to play a new game for once.
as for thieves being stupid...why do you say that? i think its a great idea,there needs to be more ways to get items because if d3 is going to have people duping and hacking crap i dont even know if i will want to play.whats the sence of having uber chars? it makes it less fun and for pvp its sucks cuz after awhile it gets lame if your dont die once in awhile.
have you played d2:lod at all lately? the duping and hacking is bad,i get so much lag that i get to the point where i start playing single player...d3 needs online improvements big time...i think a atleast theif skills or a thief class would be a partial sollution...imo thieves would probably make great mules and farmers.
an sorry peeps...i should have placed this post as an edit
lol,Dude these type games have been called dungeon crawlers since "Pool of radiance" and all the classics.Maybe I am just old school but these games are called many things now days,watch G4 for awhile and you will know them all...and you should check out the champions website so you can understand what im talking about...its championsrta.com
The characters are still limited they just have a few choices to make the char a bit different...like skin color,hair color and style and so on.
I totally agree with you that the characters need to be limited,I just want some new characters that fit the game is all...and i still think a thief class would be cool imo...or maybe have a character with a pick pocket and pick lock skills.
i understand what yous are saying about the simplicity,and a better term for it is dungeon crawler lol....and im not talking going crazy with races and all...i was just giving examples...actually a good example is ps2's champions:return to arms,they have common characters like barbs an mages but they also have iksar shaman lizardman,vah shir berserker rakshasa,dark and light elf characters...thats more on the lines of what i am talking about,,,and i meant feats as skills no other of the characters would have...like as to a necro able to summon a golem but the other chars cant...like lets say if d3 had a dragon man char...for skills he could have psionics and breath weapons...other characters wouldnt have that sort of thing because they arent reptilian...lol i dunno im not good at explaining myself...you guys are misunderstanding me...and plz dont say that rta isnt a dungeon crawler or hack and slash as put before because it is and diablo does have rpg elements equinox lol
but i do understand that if there are different races they have to fit the genre,skills,history and backround of the game...and i also think that each character should have different roles surrounding the main story instead of them all having the same endings and what not...it would make the chars a bit more unique...its the whole idea to make characters your own,espescially when playing online...i think it would be cool to atleast be able to choose the sex,hair style and hair color,and skin color.
im pretty new here and i havent read all the posts to this topic so if i am repeating anyone im sorry but i really think that diablo 3 needs a theif class...and i also think that the character system should be alot like neverwinter nights...being able to customize a few traits would make characters more unique,especially when playing online...
we definatly need some new races to go with the new classes tho...a few that come to my mind are vampires,gargoyles,minotaurs,centaurs,ect...but certain races should have limits to certain things,like for an example:a minotaur cant use a regular helm or centaurs obviously cant wear leggings or boots...them kinds of races could have special features or types of armor
also it would be cool to be able to have other types of items to put in sockets...maybe something like teeth,horns,bones,eyeballs,maybe even character ears.

of course my current name LycaniLLusion
Dagger-Master or Master-The-Dagger
Vile-Vermin
Dart-Demonhorn
when they announce d3 they should actually have reservations for account names atleast...that would save peoples hard thought name ideas
you got me thinking about this now lol
1:maybe 2 or 3 new characters alongside the old ones
2:more bosses or sub bosses to kill
3:the ability to exceed high character lvls...maybe go as high as lvl 120...that would be sick imo
