Lol he's crying for people not to make fan-fictions better than he can write, lol...

Now that's a struggling author.

*advice* Historical significances means nothing to the public of a relatively unknown author.

Corpses always dissapear in real life.

How many corpses have you physically seen?

We all know it is World of Blizzard, a NEW game with ALL elements of blizzard.

Play as Diablo controlling marines fighting off the horde!

this must be it.

Nice little update, we need more PR for Diablo franchise!

But let's edit the text color, lol... I have to highlight to see what you wrote.

They should do trading in Diablo 3 Ebay Style.

Post an item, and let others bid. Either with items, Gold, etc..

Allow the seller to list whether or not he will accept gold, or items or what not.

Also allow "Instant Trade" for specific items from a drop down list, or specific mod's on an item.

You could go into any town and find the "Trader" and be able to sell or buy items.

Also allow 1 on 1 trading too, with the classic trade window from Diablo 2.

This would be the most effecient and price checking system.

For example.. I have "Usless Mace", I go to the "Trader" and see that "Useless Mace" is selling for 300 gold, or usually for a Hel rune.

Then I either place my item up for bid with the trader (Leave the item there), OR keep the item and find someone in game to see if they want to trade.

One of our most favorite moments from the "Game play Video" was the death of the male barbarian.

First he was picked up and BITEN IN HALF, and blood continued to gush, and entrails flail until the beast was slain.

Now a lot of people are worried about "Instant Death" and monsters supposedly having this attack.

Well allow me to explain...

In the video we see the Barb getting heavy damage, as also the female witch doctor, who subsequently dies in the pool of water...

But why was the Barbarian bitten in half? It was conditions that were meant.

1. Barbarian had received heavy damage and was low on health (probably 10 life left)

2. Boss had attacked said Barbarian with this "Special Death Move" because the CPU noted "Low Life" and "Proper Placement for Animation"

This is why he was ripped into pieces. Not because the Boss had "Rip IN Half" skill, but because the computer calculated that with the barbs health, and his current position in relation to attacking was just right, so do "Special Death Move"

The only other example I can explain is in Mega Man x for SNES, at the first battle with Vile, he tried to shoot you with a sticky plasma when your health is low. He only does this when your health is low, and it is possible to dodge this attack. If you keep dodging he will eventually get you with it, because he has to for the story to continue.

But what I am saying in a nutshell is, the boss tried a special move because conditions were met, and I am sure if the Barb had moved or dodged, the boss would have missed and the battle would have continued. Then at another moment of opportunity, the boss would try this special attack again.

I hope that makes sense to those who were confused.

ps. This little death move is only 1 more reason why Blizzard is so awesome...

1.Will merc's be able to fully equip items?

2. Will you be able to choose your merc's skills?

3. Will there be a return of "Universal Skills" i.e. Spell Books from Diablo 1?

4. Will male and female classes have any difference other than look?


My other 2 cents, my other q's are on page 3 on the top. Very good q's on page 3

1. How many skills will be available per class? And what is the max on those skills? (ie 20 in Diablo 2)

2. Will Diablo 3 use a "Create new game" system similar to Diablo 2 whenever we wish to play? And if so, will there be a "Records" area, (i.e. You have killed Baal xx times, You have died xx times... etc.)

3. Approximately how long should Diablo 3 last when played out from begining to end?

4. With Diablo 3 and Battle.net 2.0 coming, will there be an option for a "Global stash" for all your characters so we can eliminate the need for "Mules" and creating unnecessary games?

As of right now this is all I can think of, Bolded questions are most pertinent.

...:necro:

I am sick of hearing people downplaying the PS3. The PS3 can handle Diablo III, but I wouldn't want it. Diablo should stay on the PC, put starcraft ghost on the console. PS3 on the other hand has already incorporated the Keyboard and mouse before, and I think you still can.

I love my PS3 and unlike all my poor friends with a 360's who have replaced there 360's atleast once and already have the "3 rings of death" again, I will never have to replace mine.

It was also nice not having to pay to play online, and the built in wireless saved me an additional $100... Oh yeah and that usb port on the back is probably being used by your wireless add on... :cool:

Well the two ports in the front are perfectly enough for 1 mouse and 1 keyboard, those are "usually" not occupied.

Just saying PoS3 downplays it? I like my little word plays, lol...

BTW I had a launch console and never had a RROD, no bs.

Diablo 3 would be on 360 for the following reasons.

1. Easier to port over. (More time working on PC version)
2. Xbox Live far superior to any other consoles online system.

Microsoft could make an update for 360 to accept compatible keyboards and mice very easily. Or someone could make a mouse/keyboard especially for the 360, wireless, and using ZERO usb ports.

I say porting to consoles would only be worth it if they could let PC gamers and Console gamers play together in same games and everything. If all of your friends had console version of Diablo 3, and you had the PC version, and you could not play together, that would SUCK.

But like I said earlier (like page 3?) I love Fable 2 already, but I will wait for PC version to play

I know this wont happen (Watch the gameplay video) but it would be nice to have 2 different sets of skills for the male/female variant. Although, we only saw what, 5 skills? They may haven a Gender specific skill tree. I would really like that (If balanced)

Also, please don't be like WoW blizzard and make like, 6 skills per skill tree (Havent played in 2 years, aged guess). We need around 10-12 like in Diablo 2. I loved all kinds of variants of professions...

(Off topic) but from looking at the gameplay video, please get rid of or shrink the GINORMOUS shoulder plates! Everything else looks awesome!

Alot of people are saying we can't have this and can't have that because a Sorceress/Sorcerer is not unisex, so it must be a Mage or a Magus and stuff like that...

There is no confirmation Blizzard will ONLY use unisex names.

I won't be suprised to see "Sorcerer (Diablo1)/Sorceress (Diablo2)", "Rogue(Diablo1 and 2)/Ranger(Warcraft 1/2/3?/wow?)", and probally a new unknown class.

All of these names have references to all of blizzards games, and they are borrowing from their own creations. I remember a while back I said something about them borrowing stuff from Warcraft and some idiot said "OmFG TeHy Wuud NEva Do ThAt U Noob!11one" And now we can quote an employee saying it. lol..
-=-=-=-=-
I don't think there will be a Paladin, Necro, Druid, or Assasin. But we will see the last class a combo of a couple of those. Maybe a Holy Warrior from the Land of the rising sun. I don't want to say Samurai, but maybe something close to that, but way cooler.

Also what of the other classes from Diablo 2?

In Diablo 1 there was the Rogue, Warrior, and Sorcerer. The Rogue became BloodRaven, the Warrior became "The Wanderer" and the Sorcerer became the fake Horazon.

In Diablo 2 we know the Barb is THIS Barb is the new game, only with more battle exp.

Necro - Most likely still following Rathma, and may be a Valuable asset to the game.

Paladin - Could have become corrupted by destroying the soul stones, may be like Izual and need to be killed.

Sorc - Probally driven mad for power, Vizjerei are known for that sometimes, and needs to be killed or saved.

Amazon - Most likely dead, she would never go down without giving her all. She may have been first response to "The Meteor" (BTW it is NOT Diablo)
Assassin - Probally just dissappeared into the night, or was killed trying to kill the Paladin.

Druid - Became uber powerful and is fighting for good in his home area.

I have 4 in the front because I bought the 80 GB one. Very wrong, my friend

I bolded the Xbox 360 portion of the post. Not the PoS3.

SO were both right this time...

But only 1 in the rear. There is however two in the front

Quote from "Magistrate" »

It would be the same graphics-wise on any nex-gen game system besides the Wii, so I'm guessing you mean control-wise? In that case I'd like to point again (again) that at least the PS3 has more than enough USB ports for a mouse and keyboard, allowing for playability the same as on a PC. The Xbox 360 doesn't have USB ports, but there might be some hardware upgrade you can buy for it that let's it have them- not sure about that.



This is called trolling/flaming. It is against forum posting policy (you can read the rules here: http://www.diablofans.com/forums/announcement.php?f=2.)

Umm, very very wrong my friend, there is 2 usb ports in the front, and I belieave two in the rear.

I use my usb ports all the time. lol...

We must have an Assassin, Ninja class.

How badass would that be? Silently killing demons in the night... Muahaha...

But make them crazy, like linked combos and stuff, not just Hiya, then Finsher.

I am talkin Jet Li as a class!

Quote from "sinner_4ever" »

I'm just hoping that they include the necromancer U_U

All I know is after reading most of the Diablo books, there MUST be a Necro, or at least a NPC Necro that is very important to the game.

Zayl would make a good new Cain
