That's interesting that you brought that up, Kiserai. Think it might be possible that you may need to "unlock" each follower separately to prevent to ease of swapping them out every time you move on to a new act? A quest to get the next one available to you perhaps?

hmm, perhaps. If so I imagine we unlock them all fairly quickly, even within the first act or two, so people can quickly commit to the one they mainly want to use and not sort of have to putz around with a Follower they really don't like.

Too quickly and you can't get used to one. I can see them spacing it our fairly well to let you get used to each one individually and the mechanics of them. Then have a choice come the final act? I'm sure you'll be able to go back and get the one you liked at any time after seeing how each one and the AI is for them.

I guess mercs will play a big role during MF runs.
You can either have 2 Templars with high defence to tank the damage from Diablo,
and have 2 ranged mercs dealing damage with the rest of the team.
Perhaps team of 4 wizards? or 4 Demon Hunter
[With Full on damage gear with very minimal defense gear as they are highly unlikely to engage directly]
Sort of defeats the purpose of having meele class? because they have to worry about having proper defence + attack
Notice when the Enchantress panel comes up at the beginning, the 3rd and 5th resist icons are what look like a "bright lightning bolt" icon and a "dark circle" icon, then they change to a "purple lightning bolt" and a "yellow cross" icon.
Up until now I believe the "purple bolt" was lightning resistance and the "yellow icon" was arcane. But now it seems there might be another resistance type possibly paired with arcane... shadow? Or perhaps it's Arcane/Lightning, Shadow/Holy.
Looks nice, though not gonna like I'm not a fan of the polygon count for the followers.. Call me picky.. I kinda hope the graphics where being run on mid settings for this video.
Other than that I've watching it like 15 times going frame by frame, nothing hidden it seems. I can't wait to get the official word on it though. Will they admit to a leak? Call it up as a purposeful move? Or not even mention it all at lol.

Really - you didn't notice the waypoint or the resistance icons flipping?
Yeah idk. At the blizzcon demo the WD felt like his spells were very physical and in your face. I think something like the Templar is just a nice pad between you and some of the hard hitting physical damage dealers. I figure you could also pair yourself with something else or just get up in monsters faces with him

Yea, thats what i meant, switching between them at the caravan/in the city. That would be cool. But not like in D2, where u would have to lvl up and equip ur "new" merc every time u switch, but that you could lvl, skill and equip all of them and then just switch, without having to go over that again and again. That also goes along well with all of them having an own real story and a quest/questline and then following you ("Followers").
It'd be really awesome if they allowed for all three to be part of your caravan as you completed each of their quests. If that was the case though I'm assuming that only the follower that was with you would be currently gaining experience, so if you wanted to switch up, you'd have to level up that other follower. Would still love this possibility though!
When they are not called hirelings anymore how do you get them back when they die?
One option would be a cool down and they re spawn close to you or same thing with the cool down but they re spawn in town.
Another option might be to give them a scroll on the battle field so they resurrect immediately
Also would be cool if they died forever if you play hardcore yourself and need to redo their mission!
Or make it so that you have to pay someone in town a fee to get them back wish would make them Hirelings! xD
That is interesting. If they do die, since you can allocate skills for them, if they die do you just pay a "few" to have them resurrected like the mercs in D2? Or are they treated as if they are HC characters themselves and you can't bring them back, then have to wait until you can "unlock" another one? Never thought of that.

Templar for my demon hunter, scoundrel for my monk. Probably go enchantress for my wizard when I get to her, depends on how the follower skills match up.
Inorite! I love spear+shield. Also made me think Spartans as well.
@ the guy who mentioned the 25 locked slot as being for a rune: HELL YEAH. That's an awesome idea! I don't know what it would control, or if it would put some kind of modifier and visual change on everything, but whatever it would be it would be great!

Mercenary looks cool. I’d like it. But really, the beta is coming soon, as well!?! =)

This is going to be fun

I didn't think those were hidden.. You could see those normal speed lol.
I was more looking for like 1 frame easter eggs.

was really hoping they wouldnt return
