Hello!
I just found the site. I am extremely excited about the possiblity of a new Diablo...this is great news. Allthought until its offical I will be waiting with bated breath. But here is what I'd like to see in the game. (this is a single player with multiplayer not a MMO, allthough I wish blizzard would have made a MMO in the diablo universe instead of WoW, but thats just my opinion.)
1) An intense story. maybe even a 2 tier game one from the role as a good hero the other from the evil side.
2) Obviously I'd prefer a M rated game. Allthough with todays games Im not to sure if violence and gore will get a M rating. Since its based in a fantasy world I don't see diologe with F bombs a flying.
3) The Hack and slash of the old Diablo's was fun but as a more Mature gamer now I'd like to see a more involved RPG along the Lines of The Elder Scroll's series but still keep the Diablo feel in the enviroments, Monsters and items and everything the game is known for.
4) A large and expansive game world.
5) I'd also love to see modabilty with built in user friendly tools. Like a diablo COnstrution set. (this though isnt a big requirment for me just would be cool to play Mods from all the twisted imaginations of the diablo fans)
6) as far as multiplayer I rarely played Diablo online. I was into EQ so I am a big MMOer, but given that I enjoyed my few hours of diablo Multiplayer/ So coop and straight pvp in the game world would be a blast.
7) Evil, it has to be evil. I want it to be so evil and haunting that it'll send chills down my spine.
8) Amazing music and total emersion with sound effects and Graphics. (course, I'd not want a system hog but maybe U can't have both. So, I may wanna plan for my next upgrade of my upgrade that I am doing soon hehe)
Anyway, thats my thoughts atm of seeing this post. have a great new years.
1) An intense story. maybe even a 2 tier game one from the role as a good hero the other from the evil side.
Already been suggested, and most people want to see it.
2) Obviously I'd prefer a M rated game. Allthough with todays games Im not to sure if violence and gore will get a M rating. Since its based in a fantasy world I don't see diologe with F bombs a flying.
Also what many people want, but I would not want that much blood. In my opinion that isn;t necessary to make a great game.
3) The Hack and slash of the old Diablo's was fun but as a more Mature gamer now I'd like to see a more involved RPG along the Lines of The Elder Scroll's series but still keep the Diablo feel in the enviroments, Monsters and items and everything the game is known for.
For this you will be shot, tortured, decapitated and your remains thrown to the dogs. Hack&Slash is what Diablo is famous for. And besides, there are no other hack&slash games out there anymore, so theoretically Diablo has that whole market.
But, if Blizzard manages to make a good Diablo without hack&slash, I will still play it. I just don't think that will happen.
4) A large and expansive game world.
Yes, we all want that.
5) I'd also love to see modabilty with built in user friendly tools. Like a diablo COnstrution set. (this though isnt a big requirment for me just would be cool to play Mods from all the twisted imaginations of the diablo fans)
6) as far as multiplayer I rarely played Diablo online. I was into EQ so I am a big MMOer, but given that I enjoyed my few hours of diablo Multiplayer/ So coop and straight pvp in the game world would be a blast.
Personally i think most games are heading towards more multiplayer interaction in the gaming world, so this will most likely happen.
7) Evil, it has to be evil. I want it to be so evil and haunting that it'll send chills down my spine.
Possible, but I don't know. There's been some discussion here about it.
8) Amazing music and total emersion with sound effects and Graphics. (course, I'd not want a system hog but maybe U can't have both. So, I may wanna plan for my next upgrade of my upgrade that I am doing soon hehe)
So long as it doesn't take steam off the content, it will most likely come also.

Yes, but I see a trend in games, one I think is very good. Games are more and more focusing on player interaction, and PvP is one step.
The only notable exception I can think of is Spore, which is not going to have any multiplayer.

From what I heard fourth quarter 2007 - first quarter 2008. So still a long time. But I really want to play it. So far the only problem I see is that all monsters look too cute no matter what you do.
However, I will still try to make a Diablo-race

Before i get started, i'd just like to say hello to everyone, ive been reading up on diablo3.com regularly for years, and finaly decided to reply to something. Some may know me as sKiTz (from US East Classic Ladders, I also go by Crow, CoF_Crow, (i was #1 in ladder 2(barb - sKiTz-) and 3 (sorce - shes_better classic) [patch 1.10 - 1.11] I know longer have my characters due to inactivity (growing up sucks lol)
Anyways, It Is certainly a good and interesting conversation, i just hope to god that they dont make Diablo 3 Like WoW. WOW sucks ass. He'll, id be happy just to see an updated Diablo 2 with better graphics. Im a d2 classic fan, didnt care much for LOD ( runes charms junk like that ) but regardless of what they do i'll still be happy if a d3 comes out and isnt like WOW. -Crow

Personally, I honestly think WoW may be the best game I've ever played. Not because of graphics, or gameplay, or story, or items, or anything else, but because of the total sum that you get out of all of it.
And because I haven't played it for 6 months but still find myself wanting to play it.
Will D3 be D2 with better graphics? maybe, but nothing is certain. Considering the big leap in time we have here, plus many leaving Blizzard, the chances of taht happening are slim.

Yeah Phrozen...but do remember that alot has changed in 10 years (since d2 came out) Yeah the original diablo team is gone...there are always people of the same talent I believe that we will see a new concept for d3 compared to d2. Maybe simular maybe higher in depth maybe even higher depth to actually see the characters faces

Those before me shall quiver in my wake as I unleash the fury within!
That's what I'm saying. It most likely will not be the same concept in D3 as it was earlier, not to the same extent as in between D1 and D2.
I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just that it might not turn out as D2 with better graphics.

I hope it is not just D2 with better graphics, that would suck. If it were the game would be completely stupid, you know what happens, and you know how to beat it. It would be like driving a beat up PoS car with a new paint job.
Well, I think Blizzard won't let us down. Add a few classes, redo the old ones, change damage calibrations, add something new in, Blizzard always had wonderful ideas. Of that, I do not worry.
The fact that it should stay hack n' slash is not up for debate... uhh... Diablo 3 can certainly afford to take on stronger RPG characteristics, but not like those of TES. Maybe it is because the only compelling thing I can derive from TES is graphics and size... it's hard for me to say because I never really played Morrowind or Oblivion any longer than the few weeks I was hooked to it.
From the top of my head: strengths and weaknesses between classes and the like should be emphasized. Let Blizzard nerf what it will, but please-- for the love of god-- establish some order. For the PKers, the crawlers, the fiends... for everybody!

I followed the antics from this site a few months ago thinking you were all crazy. Then I went to Boot Camp, success, home for the holidays and read this stuff...
I've been playing Diablo 1 for 3 weeks now haha. This 233Mhz can handle it =P. Can't wait to get my good computer back.
Just joined up, won't be as active as I should due to my career training coming up as an Air Control Operator in the Canadian Forces =D Bigup.
Yeah good news good news. Me and a buddy of mine were talking about D3. Thinking how it could possibly get better than D2, such as possible add-ons and we eventually considered the possibility of World of Diablo haha.
It'dd be like WoW, except in the diablo world. it'dd be gay considering how gay WoW is, but nonetheless, it'dd still be better than WoW. But yea, I'dd rather have a hack and slash type of game, with more classes and even sub-classes for your character (which was included in D2, somewhat, Archer/Spearing amazon, but I mean like, A sorcerer [Yes, SORCERER, screw sorceresses. Sorceress = Witch, and witches suck] with a sub-class of a Druid, so a Lava Drooling werewolf =P )
I'm wondering why it took so long considering the original Diablo was released Jan 1997, It's Expansion in the same year, D2 in 2000, D2LoD in 2K1. Just over 4 years in the whole ordeal, and now 5 years after all that there's still crazyness in B.net for those games, and I for one, hope everyone who loves and used to love diablo is as loyal as you guys are to actualy hold a site up for a sequel that wasn't even announced.

Anyway yes, when that is released we can start to expect something else coming from Blizzard (information-wise).

6 diablo isnt PVP based to much, its in their as a side thing not the main goal

HURRAY FOR THE WORLD. lol.
....that was just an ignorant statement from you Socrates.
I'm not particulary glad to be here, I just felt like I wanted to say something and I did. Though I did foresee someone being a douche about it.
Anyways lol. you'll hear from me again when more potent info on D3 will be available, ciao till then.
