It's a demo, we can't expect them to take several paths to one destination, nor can we expect them to use a map that has a less-than-linear approach. With hope, we'll still get the old semi-sandbox feel.

1. Any decision on classes being carried-over?
2. Are you planning to listen to or consider the rages and rants over graphics and art direction?
3. Any reconsiderations for the Health Orbs?
4. Are the graphics of the game still being worked on? (polishing textures, more next-gen upgrades, etc.)
5. What's your rough estimate of "when it's ready"?

Well it's probably just a random thought that would die down, but it would be nice to have quest-based mercenaries, that is, NPC's or other characters that require completion of a quest before you can hire them. Imagine being able to fight alongside Fara from Act II of Diablo II, or the Knights from Act IV, hell, maybe even tyrael. They would only be hireable after completing a quest related to that NPc's lore or story, and once hireable, they are powerful/smart/skill-utilizing mercs that cost a stashful of gold to hire everytime.

Maybe. Maybe. Just Maybe

Yeah I think they should downplay the extreme need for potions but still keep them helpful to gameplay

Necro. It's not likely, but hell, if he could come back, maybe more focussed on summons, demon mind control, other dark spells, etc, then why not. The witchdoc seems to have taken minor offensive casting and curse domains, as well as some summoning.

I doubt they'd take the paladin's role away. Doesn't matter if he's not called Paladin anymore, as long as he's the holy warrior guy/gal. Maybe this time it'd be more of a monk kind of thing, but I really doubt there'd be no holy guy.

Yeah I don't think it's fair to suggest all those things and expect an early release date. I doubt it will take to 2011 though, I'd say early 2010 tops... They did after all say that the game has been developing for 5 years now... but maybe thats just me wishing

We can all agree that Diablo III had different and sometimes violent receptions. Amidst all this, I want ot be able to give an objective and constructive opinion, so I do so using a blog. I know that the possibiity that Blizz will actually read this is scarce, so this could probably be a talking point here on the forums
