"So, the game is finally done. What do you guys think we should do now?"
"Dude, are you kidding? We're gonna play the friggin game!"

"You think we should take a break?"
"What, I can't hear you. The awesomeness is too loud."

"Hey man, I just realised people are getting a bit starved out of information right now. You want me to post a release date?"
"No man, I don't got time for releasing the game now, I'm having way too much fun playing it. Just post some crappy screenshots and old artwork on the site or something"
True story.
2 years from now, at Blizzard HQ...
"Last finishing touches on the final cinematic are done! The most photo-realistic cinematic we've made yet! So, did we finish everything?"
"Yep, I think so. I checked off everything on the list."
"Good, let's release!"
The next day...
"Oh, crap! We forgot to put in a male wizard!"

I think that'd be a cool expansion character. That and Necro ^^
My ideas are in my sig

Knights in shining armor are, imo, boring. The paladin was my least favorite class, because he had the least interesting skills... I didn't care if they also happened to be the best skills.
Besides, I thought the barbarian was the draw to the casual player. You go around and smash things, and don't worry about dying because you have high health and health orbs nearby.
They're trying to make the classes more unique this time... so I can't see them putting in another completely melee oriented character.

However... who says a knight class is needed? What's stopping you from getting knightly gear for your barbarian? ^^
But if there is a knight class, I could definitely see it being a melee/caster or melee/support hybrid, with either a good slant, an evil slant, or the ability to go either good or evil
@DesmondTiny - Warrior would just be a boring version of the Barbarian, so no
@Julian_Grey - yep, just coincidence... though I did steal the name demonologist off somebody else

Why not have a separate portion of BNet for such custom games like DotA?
I think it would be pretty awesome - but not half as awesome as D3 itself. So... I don't mind terribly much either way

C) I kinda agree about the logo though... what beats a fiery logo?

1) making potions is interesting to some, boring to many
2) Witch Doctor is already based in earthly magic - throwing firebombs (aka unstable concoctions aka exploding potions) and whatnot
My guess is in my sig:
Ranger - more pets, assassin's traps, and ranged mastery. Has a name everyone understands, and I think Wilson said in a recent interview that the next class to be announced might upset some people because it will be very similar to an old class (amazon)
Warlock - lightning, ice, and shadow. Lightning and ice are sorceress basics, and since WD has fire, I replaced it with "shadow," which would be generic "dark" magic. Also, has name everyone understands.
Demonologist - could probably use a better name. However, it is a very dark character, that has the same mood as the Necromancer. And, rather than just being a caster or just a warrior, it's a warrior/caster hybrid - it'lll shapeshift, attack physically, but summon furies to add team bonuses, and use bone skills to supplement the physical damage
Problems with my idea - Warlock is too similar to sorceress, and Demonologist isn't solid thematically

You could get Linux, but problem with that is it'll probably take somebody half a year to get D3 to run well on WINE or whatever.
I think my laptop will be pretty set for D3, except for GPU... I got the GPU 'cause it was an Nvidia that wasn't too expensive, and I figured Nvidia = good for gaming, but apparently the one I got is more focused on business or some shit... =( So I might have to send my laptop to Toshiba and get 'em to upgrade it.
What happened to the other thread on system specs?

Maybe every runeword could have its own unique skill. Like a runeword called "Stealth," could have a passive skill that does this: if you haven't attacked a monster in the last three seconds, you'll go invisible to monsters, so they won't attack you. This would be good if you start dying and you're low on pot and there's no globes around and you gotta run.
Skills like that wouldn't be imba but they'd be nice and would add more personality to the runewords.
